Draft:Pierre Honnell
I was working on more references when Draft:Pierre Honnell got declined. Well, after reading all the comments and rereading what I wrote, I see that only the publication history can be documented by Wikipedia standards. I am in possession of Pierre's personal papers which are, of course, not in the public domain. Some of his early life can be found online but not much. I donated the transistor version of the Matric Computor to the Computer History Museum in California and his original professional papers to the Washington University St.Louis Library Archives. I am working on his personal papers and correspondence. I see that Wikipedia is not the place for a summary of this information.
Question: Is it worthwhile to slim this bio down to a few biographical references and his publication and patent history? Towhee19 (talk) 01:01, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Towhee19, just a quick answer as I'm still recovering from being sick. He definitely appears to be a notable person so I would be sad not to get some article up about them. It would be nice if those two organisations you have kindly donated to made the information available online then it could be used as additional verification. I would just keep adding as many references as you can find, and then remove any information that cannot be referenced at this time... remember that unlike other places a biography would be written and rarely be changed, Wikipedia articles are evolving entities. There is some repetition such as twice it says about him getting the "Legion of Merit and the rank of Colonel". There are details in some sources I could not see mentioned such as being an associate professor in the University of Illinois (from the caltech alumni news). Please also remember a decline is not a rejection, its just that it needs more work, articles are like scientific work - an iterative process to get to the final desired outcome. Finally as DGG said in their review they would be notable "as a fellow of the IEEE" but I can't find any proof of that... the IEEE bio page does not say fellow. So a source for that is key. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 13:06, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
Thanks. I think I have already deleted this bio but have not checked to see if it has happened. I explicitly retained the copyright to this bio at Washington University but was not savvy enough to do it with the Computer History Museum, but they did not request that I turn over the copyright to them. I was motivated to write Pierre's biography after reading Max Tegmark's Our Mathematical Universe as I suspect that the original idea behind the Matric Computor is an example of Tegmark's thesis but have no contact with Tegmark to verify my assumption so have not mentioned this in this version of Pierre's bio. There is not much independent information about my father that I can find. I can find this amateur radio call letters in a book published in 1930 but it looks like he acquired the letters in 1923 or thereabouts. An amateur radio buff also posted a copy of a postcard with his call letters on the Find a Grave memorial at the National Cemetery of Arizona much to my amazement. I can find a couple of early independent announcements of his computer also. I was careful to include a negative comment also. Yes, I see the repetition now. I am sure I can find a source for his designation as Fellow of the IEEE. All the early history, name change, etc., will have to be deleted. It appeared to me from the comments that this was not the best place to try to revive interest in his work. I still retain all his personal papers and correspondence at this time. Only the original copies of his professional papers and corresponding correspondence are now at Washington University. Thank you for the encouragement. If the bio has not already been deleted, I will continue.Towhee19 (talk) 04:08, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Towhee19, thanks for the update. Draft:Pierre Honnell has not been deleted, and drafts only get flagged for deletion after no updates for 6-months. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 12:31, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Dear Kyle, I am not intending to write just something about my father. I intend to create a page about a person who played a very great role in Dutch muslim community in The Netherlands. He is the author or the best-selling Quran translation in the country. Besides that he was a politician in Indonesia. This person happens to be my father. He needs and deserves a wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.165.115.237 (talk) 17:53, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Article Revert
Hello, I just saw you reverted/rejected my article submission on Taylor Thorne (2004). Now, I'm not here to bug you or anything, but I had a few questions based on your reasoning. Now I may be just a dumb American, but if you could simplify it down, that would be great. So here is my issue with your issue:
The information is available to research on the actress only numbers three articles, however, said three articles are packed with information that I believe is enough to qualify for an article. Now again, I could be wrong and it isn't enough, and then I will delete the article but the whole source issue confused me. Now, not to butter up or anything, but I feel that this actress deserves this article because she is certainly not an amateur actress.
To conclude, I was very confused by your reasoning for rejecting the article, if you could simplify it, that would be great.
- Hi Typhoon Kong-Rey, firstly there was no revert or reject (a term we use for hard rejections), but just a decline that may just indicate that the sources do not yet show notability, either because they have not been added or are not available. As to the three sources you have: The CBC source is from there own media centre, and as such a non independent source as they will put out bios for all actors/actresses on their shows; therecord.com source looks independent but it is just about a single role; rottentomatoes is just a basic listing. For the criteria for an article see Wikipedia:Notability (people) and the sub section WP:NACTOR. Hope that helps explain a bit further - Regards KylieTastic (talk) 20:17, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Barik card
You declined my submission of Barik card Draft.
Is my first article in wikipedia in English. In the article I writed many data. Since the submission I added some cite news in Spanish. How "Verifiability" is required? One cite for each data?
I followed examples than Pasmo, Suica or Oyster_card — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.8.246.9 (talk) 17:56, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi 88.8.246.9, it was declined because you have no independent reliable sources to show notability - I see you have already added some more references - so your getting the idea. "Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic" (see WP:42). Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:21, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi, you just rejected my article because it did not have enough additional sources. If I add additional, objective, journalistic sources, can I re-submit it for review? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djb2183 (talk • contribs) 18:06, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Regarding Posting an Article about a Company (Pentagon Information Technology LLC)
Hi Kylie how are doing today.
I have posted an article about a pentagon information technology llc. I have also mentioned a few references like from mirror review and other. Can you help me regarding this article. I would be great full. I understand you are busy but your help would mean a lot to me.
Thanks in advance Regards, Saba — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sabagull777 (talk • contribs) 07:29, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Sabagull777 an article like Pentagon Information Technology LLC need to pass either the general notability guidelines WP:GNG or Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), but in general "Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic" (see WP:42). Currently there is a business listing that does not not look independent and the other two are from the companies own website. So unless the company has had significant coverage in independent reliable sources it' s not likely to be suitable for an article. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 22:37, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

I'm writing about an artist, but I get this message that I write about myself, what does that mean, and how many citations do I need for my article to be notable? What thing is a reliable source? Is this a good site to write? Se pinya (talk) 22:55, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Se pinya I see no message about you "write about myself" - but you added the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest tag on the article. None of the current references are links to anything about the artist, they are all just links to the roots of websites some like hypemegazine.com that do not even exist. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources for what a reliable source is, but it starts with being an actual source that talk about the subject that is not linked to the subject.

Persistent reversal of Spaniards page
Hi User:KylieTastic, For the past 2 months, my edits on page: [[1]] (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spaniards&action=history) are consistently reverted by one particular user who has engaged on edit wars with me before. They have an obsession with trying to understate and minimise the 800 years Muslim presence and legacy in Spain. They also tried to exacerbate the same topic in the equivalent Portuguese people’s page until they were blocked. I don’t think it ethical of Wikipedia to allow users to try and manipulate historical events and facts as they please. This user User:NormanGear resorts to predictable tools like “repetition”, “saturation” or alleged “improvements” (when their English is grammatically not always correct either), in order to revert all my edits which are fair and sourced. An Administrator/Third party intervention is much appreciated. Best wishes, Melroross (talk) 17:07, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Melroross, as Diannaa advised on her talk page WP:Dispute resolution gives the advice and options to get outside input. Also I see another editor has been editing Spaniards yesterday so maybe they can help give a third opinion. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 15:55, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
Could you have another look at...
I have added several citeable references to some points in his life. Do you think it's ready for (re)submission?
- Hi Riventree just a quick answer as I'm just home from work and got a cough and headache so not going to be doing much Wikipedia tonight. Style wise it needs a lead/introduction section (see MOS:LEAD). Basically a summary of the subject, see other articles, especially similar subjects for reference. Also you need sources for some of the things such as DOB/DOD - note sources do not have to be online (just preferable) but they do have to have enough to be checkable in theory - i.e. what is "Nottinghamshire BMD". Saying that I'm not sure there is enough coverage in independent reliable sources to show notability independent of the Heaton process, but maybe being a member of Institution of Mechanical Engineers may be enough to swing notability. If you can find any other information on him any anything notable outside the Heaton process that would help. Note that even if it turns out enough cannot be found for a stand-alone article, it could still be added as a section to the Heaton process article. Hope that helps. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:24, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
A320 numbers and history.
Thanks for the hint.
This is afaics more of a history handling thing than something specific to that page. If you go back in history you the the proper text revision but apparently embedded table data is provided by the current database and not the state as it was for the moment in time looked up.
i.e. I called up 2016 version and got data current to dez 2019. I'll have to experiment on some other pages if the effects limited or not. ( and understand how such tables are embedded.)
not valid for data that is inline obviously. ZwergAlw (talk) 19:23, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

- Hi Anishjustoficial talking to someone is not a valid reliable source for Wikipedia and would be original research - you need to find any sources that have significant coverage and are independent reliable sources to show the are notable. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 13:02, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
Sir there are more than 10 wikipedia pages of movies and web series, where the name of this actor is written already. Some are Mirzapur (TV series), Pk film, Jodha Akbar, Action Jaction. I already included the sources. While this is not fully original research. Things are different that for verification of IMDB and other sources. I had to contact with the person too. So please allow this article. After publishing i can fix more than 10 broken links in other movies and series wiki articles. Thank You! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anishjustoficial (talk • contribs) 13:16, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Anishjustoficial just because they were an actor in movies, TV shows, and web series does not make them notable. What would count would be if they were major roles, which has been written about in independent reliable sources. If sources exist find and add them, if not then they are many just not notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 15:40, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Request on 13:14:01, 29 January 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by 83.244.156.66
Thanks for the feedback on the entry. As I have a COI, I would be keen to get an independent view on Cazoo to build out the significant coverage the brand has. How would I go about requesting this? 83.244.156.66 (talk) 13:14, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
83.244.156.66 (talk) 13:14, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi 83.244.156.66 well you can create drafts with a WP:COI but it is discouraged as it's very difficult to be neutral even with the best intentions. The first thing to do is look at the criteria for notable companies Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) and see if it qualifies. As a startup before launch that is much less likely. Also trying to get a page up just before launch does look more like promotion/validation than encyclopedic content. If you think it does meet the criteria I would suggest first adding as any good independent reliable sources to the draft article. You could then either submit again; you could ask for input/help at the Wikipedia:Teahouse to see if anyone want to help; or you could list on Wikipedia:Requested articles linking the draft. However first is notability and all-though it has a number of 'news' articles on a google search a lot look like being generated from a marketing push you would expect pre-launch. However saying that there is a good chance more will be written post launch, so if not notable now maybe sometime this year so worth extending the article. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:09, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
Thank you KylieTastic, it is much appreciated. I don't know if this changes anything, but we have launched already (December 2nd) and are well under way. Perhaps I could add some of these pieces (below) to the citations and also ask for input from the Teahouse? Is that a decent approach?

- Hi 83.244.156.66 well you could do with updating the article and adding a source for the launch if you have it because at the moment it says "due to launch in February 2020". But yes add some more with refs especially big name papers and websites and then ask at the teahouse. You'll then get more than just me or another reviewer seeing it and see what people say. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 16:13, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi KylieTastic - no idea how that crept in there! We launched last month and I have added a source for this. I'll build this up over the next couple of weeks and then add this to Tearoom. Once again, thanks for your help. 83.244.156.66 (talk) 14:16, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
Draft:St. Gregory Nazianzen Catholic Church
Hi KylieTastic, can you please take a second look at this when you have a chance? I am trying to hone the reliable source aspect of this article. It's a little unclear where the bar for pseudo-historic and worthwhile notability is.Cashewseed (talk) 22:48, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Cashewseed to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. However your correct notability for such topics WP:NBUILDING is not an easy one to judge. I tend to think historic buildings are much more acceptable with less sources, new buildings often are semi promotional. I'm not sure I would accept, but I would not decline either, in its current state its in the grey zone and I'd leave to another reviewer. If you can find anything more, especially historically about the building that would be good, or use the Wikipedia:Teahouse or use the "ask us a question" on the decline note to ask a wider set of editors and maybe get a consensus.

- Hi Qdigitalagency Wikipedia is not for promotion, and as you say "my name" definitely not for self promotion. See our guidelines Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and WP:AUTOBIOG. Also articles on Wikipedia have to be notable (Wikipedia:Notability) and in this case Wikipedia:Notability (people)

Thank you for information.
COI and Candidacy
Thanks for the prompt edit Kylie.
I see your point that candidacy in and of itself is not notable, and that seems fair. Though there are news sources that are covering the candidate (and other candidates), I understand that the Wiki rules prohibit it, and that is fine.
However, regarding the conflict of interest, I am confused. I am not employed by the candidate or campaign. I am a constituent in the district. If constituents of political personalities pose possible conflicts of interest, who edits political pages? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris.jaramilloforcongress (talk • contribs) 17:11, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Chris.jaramilloforcongress we have to guess as COI with regard to behaviour and username, and your username looks like the sort of name a campaign staff would use. Note you do not have to be being paid/employed to have a COI, being a volunteer for the campaign would still count. Also note this semi reversal was made by another editor as we do not have inline external links as readers expect blue-links to keep them in-wiki. Again it's also seen as promotional, trying to get people to the campaign website. You can continue to add to Draft:David Anthony Jaramillo as more news comes out, but it has to have some substance and not just a dozen links just saying they are running. Normally I would expect someone running for congress to probably generate enough interest that they would meet the WP:BIO guidelines. Hope that help - Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 17:21, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

adding sources for Lelo for Georgia
Hi,
thanks for your friendly comment re https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Lelo_for_Georgia
I did add three additional sources, including Al Jazeera. Is there a way one could reconsider this? In other cases, where I started with a fairly short stump, it developed into a full fledged article. Note also that a party that was previously covered on Wikipedia merged into this new party, which is where my venture to create the page started

- Hi Hundnase, just had a very quick look as I just got back home and have to get on with some other thing... It does look much improved with the additional reliable sources. So I would say that unless you can find any more information/source to add then yes please re-submit (blue button at the bottom of the decline notice) and someone will review properly (reading things more thoroughly then I just did). All the best KylieTastic (talk) 19:07, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi KylieTastic thank you for your quick response, will add a bit tonight and then resubmit, thank you!!! Hundnase (talk) 09:26, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi KylieTastic, so it has been rejected again. If I get this right: if you are a small country that does not get covered by BBC, CNN, NYT, and the like, then essentially it is very hard to provide information via Wikipedia, since even if you bring multiple credible independent sources, it just falls below the threshold? You can sense my frustration. I am not saying the article is perfect, but I think it was an entirely reasonable start. Hundnase (talk) 17:08, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Hundnase, I'm not editing/reviewing tonight as I'm exhausted from work but thought I'd post a quick response. To a degree yes smaller countries may have less coverage about some subjects which makes sourcing difficult, however I would not expect that to apply to any serious party in a countries parliamentary elections. I admit to knowing nothing of the politics of Georgia but Politics of Georgia (country)#Political parties and elections has a lot more parties than I was expecting (although List of political parties in Georgia has less?). So although I would expect if they do become a serious "Third Option" as your source says they will be covered in international big media (BBC, CNN, NYT,.. as you say) nearer to the election. Before that I would expect that there would be serious cover in the Georgian media - reliable sources on English Wikipedia do not have to be in English - I'm assuming there are probably Georgian and Abkhazian sources. I would say look for any non English reliable sources that have significant coverage (if you can depending on our language skills); to assist you could ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Georgia (country) - not sure how active it is, but someone may be interested in helping; You could ask for help/advice at the Wikipedia:Teahouse which at least means several experienced editors and admins are likely to see, and maybe add more input. That's all I can think of to say for now, I need to go relax. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 22:00, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi KylieTastic, thank you for your response. The party was now covered by Foreign Policy, so hopefully that will make it easier... https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/02/04/georgia-elections-independents/ I will keep trying. Hundnase (talk) 19:16, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
Request on 14:40:35, 1 February 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by CloD
Hi. The article includes links towards the Object Relational Mapping Wikipedia page and towards other referenced concepts, what else should be added for it to be considered as providing a significant coverage about the subject? Thanks for your help and your time.
CloD (talk) 14:40, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi CloD, to qualify for an article on Wikipedia a subject must meet the notability guidelines (See WP:Notability) - basically most subjects require significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 15:09, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Sessão do Conselho de Estado wikidata
Hi, I saw you changed the old image to be preferred here: wikidata:Q43485263. Could you please tell me why? The new image I just cropped has larger size, larger resolution, comes from the official museum page and in my opinion the colouring is better because you actually can see the coats have different colours. Is the wikidata item used somewhere that prefers the old image or I'm missing some disadvantage? Thank you. --Inteloff (talk) 22:58, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Inteloff I just picked an image to be preferred as if one is not preferred is causes issues on articles that use it (it tries to display all as one image and fail). Happy for you to change the other image to be the preferred one. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 23:46, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Inteloff I have just changed the preferred rank to the other image. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 23:48, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, I thought marking one as deprecated and the other as normal fixed the issues --Inteloff (talk) 23:57, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Hey, you declined my submission earlier because it was not supported by sources. I have added references now. Is it good enough to become an article now? Mishraanoopam98 (talk) 13:25, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Mishraanoopam98, to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. However good job on going from zero to 5 sources, definitely heading in the correct direction. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 14:05, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
England and St George etc
Has it been debated anywhere which form of saint should be used. The switch to Saint George is still in progress. Has it been discussed anywhere at all? I hoped I might start something. Eddaido (talk) 23:38, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Eddaido, I don't know if Saint George's Day has been discussed anywhere in particular but per MOS:SAINTS WP:COMMONNAME generally applies, and also Saint George is also the full Saint. Such a change would normally be discussed first on the talk page as it would require a move to match the new lead. I've seen editors randomly assert full Saint, or St or St. on topics before - so in general such changes should be discussed with reasons and sources to stop flip-flopping between styles. From personal experience I would say I've seen it used as in the article now: i.e. full Saint when in the title or the focus of a sentence (such as the lead), but shortened for convenience to St in other places. However the reason I originally noticed, and I chose to assume good faith was the random changes of "saint" to "ggg" in your first edit. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:22, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- What! and I thought I got all the coffee off the keyboard. There's a moral here somewhere. Maybe its "look at the pictures as well as the text". Stupid of me. Thanks, Eddaido (talk) 21:33, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

So can you explain to me why the article was rejected saying no reliable source even though there isn't one anywhere to be found? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yacko69 (talk • contribs) 15:53, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Yacko69 , if there are no reliable sources to show notability then the topic in notable enough for a Wikipeida article. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 15:57, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
Since there are no sources how do you expect it to be reliable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yacko69 (talk • contribs) 15:59, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Yacko69 if there are no sources then its just stuff than you are posting on the internet that no one can verify - that's what social media, blogs etc are for. Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia that requires independent reliable sources to show notability. Also see Wikipedia:Five pillars. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 16:02, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
so if i stick a facebook link or something in it will work? i think i put the website for the place that owns the park isnt that enough? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yacko69 (talk • contribs) 16:05, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Yacko69 no facebook is not a reliable sources as it's user driven content again, but if there is information on the owners website even though that is not independent it's still helpful as a primary source. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 16:41, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
Thevansh-Article Denied for creation
Hi,
Just received that my Article for creation(Thevansh) has been denied I really appreciate your time from reviewing my page but I am really confused as I have put independent sources that show how the new artist has been recognized in different countries. It would be really helpful if you guide me and help me with what was missing. As said before I have put independent sources and it would be really great if you acknowledge them and publish the page.
Looking forward to your response — Preceding unsigned comment added by Archit03 (talk • contribs) 18:50, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Archit03 you have three sources, two of which are interviews (so the subject talking about themselves) and the third is their own website. While interviews are better than people writing about themselves, they are usually arranged promotion so not independent. So the subject fails the General notability guidelines and the Music notability guidelines. So unless they get musically successful to pass WP:SINGER such as having a single or album on any country's national music chart they will need significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability.

John Poysti Ping Pong Tournament
Hello
This is not a local school tournament. - the event just takes place at a school.
Anyone can join, the tournament is for everyone.
I added the published sources, such as scoreboards with we have in physical shape
Kind regards Jonashgs (talk) 23:53, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Jonashgs, I now doubt it's anything more than a few friends playing and not even a school tournament. Draft:John Poysti Classic Ping Pong Tournament is clearly just fantasy. A google search for "John Poysti Classic" -Wikipedia bring up nothing other than three twitter links. KylieTastic (talk) 11:42, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi again
1. It is a public tournament and anyone can join - the tournament is for everyone. Next year it will be located at a gym, and not at the school - So next year it's more public.
2. Just because there aren't google results, doesn't mean it doesn't exist? - We have scoreboards from the last 9 years - an official instagram which pictures from the last 2 years - 3 volunteer staff - I also have alot of pictures from the 2014 edition i can share as prove.
3. The tournament is not fantasy i can get you in contact with John Poysti himself if you dont believe me?
4. It is NOT a hoax - it is NOT a student who invented it! The founder is a former basketball coach named Danny Stephens - I can get you in contact with him too, if you don't believe me
5. And please - what is reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject? All our sources and scores are on psychical paper and not online - how do i fix this? - tell me what to do, and i will meet your criteria im sorry english isnt my 1st language
Kind regards
— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonashgs (talk • contribs) 12:28, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Jonashgs firstly your English is great even as a second language. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS) to show notability. Just because the event also allows people outside the school to join it is still a minor event. It's own scorecards are not independent. Even if you had some of the top table tennis players in the world play but no independent source covered it it would still not be notable. There are probably thousands of minor table tennis tournaments in the world. KylieTastic (talk) 20:07, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello again
This is where my english falls short.
What does it mean? All new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS) to show notability?
What should i do to get verified? Tell me what to do, instead of telling me what i do wrong - please — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonashgs (talk • contribs) 10:16, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- Jonashgs I can't really simplify it much more - you need multiple people to have written about the subject, and those people are independent i.e. not linked to the subject. All other notable tournaments are written about in many newspapers, websites and maybe even books. KylieTastic (talk) 21:29, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi again
Thanks for your reply - so i need someone not connected to the tournament to write an article and put it online? or can it be in physical form?
Kind regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonashgs (talk • contribs) 08:54, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Jonashgs, it has to be someone who's writing will be viewed as reliable, or published in a source that is deemed reliable. So in general if would have to be known journalists, or known publications (newspapers, magazines, etc), or a published book or official documents. However to be considered "notable" multiple sources are required. The reason being that once a article subject (in this case this tournament) is "notable" enough it will be written about. Officially recognised tournaments would also be notable, such as any recognised by these Table tennis organizations. KylieTastic (talk) 20:27, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello Thanks for your reply. What if the towns newspaper write an article about the tournament or mentions the tournament in physical form. Will this be accepted, or does it have to be posted online? We have a very small local newspaper in Holsbybrunn, which is by part-time employees and volunteers. Kind regards Jonashgs (talk) 17:55, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Jonashgs, well technically a local newspaper does count as a independent reliable source and sources do not have to be online (just preferred). I'm doubting if this is really a newspaper or more of a village newsletter/magazine. As Holsbybrunn only has a population 729 (c. 2010) if would seam unlikely. I live in a place where the local newspaper does 25,000 copies weekly and would be a reliable source, but the local village magazine is quarterly for a village of 5000 people and is not. However, even if it did count, in general a minimum of three sources is required for a subject to be notable enough for an article. Otherwise even local village event would qualify if all it needed was an article in the village newsletter/magazine. KylieTastic (talk) 12:11, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
So now I need 3 independent sources? Before I only needed 1? Why the sudden change?
I can connect you to 3 people independent of the host venue and the tournament organizer.
How come wouldn't that be reliable?
Jonashgs (talk) 18:47, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
- No Jonashgs no one ever said you "only needed 1" see above... 4 time it says multiple - and no you can't just get 3 random people. It's really not a complex idea - the standard for a Wikipedia article is the world has noticed the subject, not just the locals. Any more questions go ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse or the Wikipedia:Help desk KylieTastic (talk) 20:36, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
The people are not random - it's the founder and the player who the tournament is named after.
I can get you in contact with them if you want? Jonashgs (talk) 11:32, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Request on 13:47:20, 10 February 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by BRidley66
Thanks for the prompt feedback on my proposed page on the Society of Cosmetic Scientists, I am very disappointed that this has been turned down again, as I have looked at similar societies, such as the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, and used this as a template. I have also used the Royal Society of Chemistry page as a template and then cut out much of the equivalent content after comments from other reviewers. Neither of these has any significant secondary sources and the sources used are similar to what I have included in my page. I do not understand why these pages are allowed to be part of Wikipedia whilst my page does not. We are trying to increase the visibility of cosmetic science to show how relevant science is to our everyday lives. There isn't a page on cosmetic science, and I think this is an omission, but this is also a huge subject that would take me a long time to write and cross-reference. Showing that there is an organisation that promotes the science of cosmetic products in the UK is important when there are pages to show that there are similar societies elsewhere, and can also give a positive view on research, development and manufacturing within the UK. There are very few mentions of the SCS in general literature but there are active groups on Facebook and LinkedIn and increasing the visibility of a learned society can only help to increase the understanding that cosmetic science is an important branch of science. Please let me have some feedback on what I need to do next. Many thanks and Best Regards, B
BRidley66 (talk) 13:47, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi BRidley66 firstly I need to pick up on "We are trying..." as that sounds like you are writing on behalf if the subject - So you need to review the guideline Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Secondly yes I agree Society of Cosmetic Chemists is just as bad, but was created in 2006 before the current levels of requirements. The notability and verifiability guidelines do count for such articles but that means it;s more likely for an editor to flag Society of Cosmetic Chemists for deletion rather than as a reason to accept another (See: Wikipedia:Other stuff exists). As for the Royal Society of Chemistry although I agree it has too many primary sources, it does have sources from the Independent and universities mentioning it and a quick google makes it look like more exist - also every one of its presidents has an article and has been judge notable. Comparatively I did a google news check for the three organisations: Royal Society of Chemistry 23500 hits, Society of Cosmetic Chemists 1060 hits and Society of Cosmetic Scientists only 27 hits - So it does appear the Society of Cosmetic Scientists is much less notable, but some of those news articles may help notability (if more than just a passing mention), also the search "Society of Cosmetic Scientists" site:.ac.uk finds "Society+of+Cosmetic+Scientists"+site%3A.ac.uk 2010 mentions on ac.uk sites so I think you can hopefully find more sources. Hope that helps explain KylieTastic (talk) 21:03, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Got your note about rejecting the item I created for David James Austin.
Could I ask how it was rejected when pages such as these exist:
This pages was purposely created as a stub so that his agents and other professionals can expand the page
I simply do not see how it should not be included give the above?
Do I need to create the page differently? there wasnt anything in the article that could be challenged that would need verification
I have read over the documents you sent and I still do not see ho it does not qualify.
Your help appreciated
Regards James — Preceding unsigned comment added by Logicness (talk • contribs) 19:47, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Logicness your correct and those articles should be checked to see if sources do exist to see if they are notable and if not they should be flanged for deletion see Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. This is why new users can no longer directly create new article and all new articles in mainspace (unless you have a certain permission) are marked to be patrolled by another trusted editor to accept or not. If any of the subjects work has been notable then someone probably wrote about it so you can use those as sources. You need to find independent reliable sources and add those. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 21:50, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020
Hello KylieTastic,
- Source Guide Discussion
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
- Redirects
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
- Discussions and Resources
- There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
- A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
- A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
- A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.
- Refresher
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Now I've added the official logo from the official website and added the official social media handle. I know it's a new channel that's why there's no buzz of the channel, but it airs one of the BIGGEST soccer league of India, so that's why I decided to create this wiki.

I've tried creating a page for Princess Damarea Ogbuewu but it keeps getting rejected. Can you do it? AmericanDirectory (talk) 14:23, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- She does not appear to be notable, at least at the moment. KylieTastic (talk) 14:26, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
First, do you have a script that changed the headings to proper second-level markup, and that replaced the manual taxobox with a species box?
Second, does the species box go to the article for the genus? It seems to be displaying the higher-level taxons, and I can't see where it is getting them from unless it is looking them up in the genus article.
Third, thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:19, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hey Robert McClenon, no I don't have a script for the headings but I often use the search-replace tool in the Advanced edit bar (far right) to do such tidy ups. As for the Speciesbox it gets the data from Template:Taxonomy/GENUS taking the GENUS from the paramater on the article - so in this case Template:Taxonomy/Crangonyx.

you have been dragged into the tri - multiple weevil saga! not sure which way to go, commiserations, or what... how or why an insect gets described into hundreds of variants post 1990 say, suggests someone with microscope or dna technology, it is truly flabbergating that weevils get separated into so many variants at this stage in history. You might have noted there is the ultimate test of geographically challenged editing on some talk pages of some items of weevils, I wont spoil the plot, you may have encountered them... it in itself is quite... whichever way one might take such an inventive placement of Indonesia...

Riedel: "Ah ha... a new species!". Still they don't outnumber the "influencers" and "entrepreneurs" crying out for recognition and acceptance in AfC. KylieTastic (talk) 11:09, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

- JarrahTree Frankly AfC is a nice idea that fails in so many ways - it often comes down to individuals making a call, unlike the consensus in other places - and if you get it wrong you'll be jumped on by the masses (or as in a recent RfA - a single slipup will cost you your chance at adminship). It would be better to have the wikiprojects review the drafts in their topic areas, but most projects don't get involved. I have tried to tag more project to drafts recently but it hasn't made much/any difference. KylieTastic (talk) 12:18, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

- AlanJayToo (talk · contribs)
I'm looking to fill out the FOSDEM speaker links of Thorsten and Steven. Given both writers have popular articles and/or books I thought this would count as notable. Do I need to reference each work? Most major ones? Amazon links and reviews?
There's also links to existing wikipedia articles representing work that they've been involved in. Should these be marked differently to show the connection?
Thanks - AJ
AlanJayToo (talk) 14:19, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi AlanJayToo, it does not matter how "popular" a subject is unless that popularity has been enough for them to get significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability. Many people write popular books/articles/programs/videos/social media posts/etc. but no one writes about them. Notability is not inherited - creating "popular" and/or notbale things does not necessarily make the creator popular/notable. However most people who do create multiple popular 'significant' things are written about in many places and thus notable. Hope that explains the point of notability, in the way Wikipedia mean anyway. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:55, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback on GM Games
Hi Kylie, I'm trying to understand which bits of content are the biggest culprits for our decline?
I am willing to do whatever is necessary to ensure third party validation from reputable spots. Would you have a second to let us know which statement(s) had an immediate red flag in your mind?
We would really appreciate it. I'm Chris. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cvalius (talk • contribs) 18:07, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Chris, all new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). They also need enough sources to back up the claims, but Notabilty is the big issue. Draft:GM Games has three sources from gmgames.org so not independent, and the 2 sources from "community.sigames.com" are not reliable sources as just a forum. Hope that explains things.

However, thank for the source, I have fixed up as best I can for now and created redirects on the articles until enough data/sources are available.

Wikipedia is not for promotion, it is not for "member page profile"s it is for Encyclopedic articles. If "Brandon Scott Mason" becomes notable enough then someone will probably write an article about them, but you, especially as a "we" should not - as Wp:COI says "COI editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia.

Thanks for revision. This is my second article. I developed in sandbox, used wizard to set up draft page, and then copied from sandbox (in visual edit mode) to the draft page. Is there a better way to convert the sandbox page to a draft page? How do I clear the sandbox page? Appreciate any advice. Thanks! Aflockw12Aflockw12 (talk) 18:24, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Aflockw12 normally we just move pages (assuming the target name is not already taken) and I believe you should be able to do that even as a new user, if not submitting to AfC will often get someone moving it to draft for you. There is reasons for doing a copy-paste rather than move if you have a very messy history, but others like to keep all the edit history so a move is better. I'm not a Visual Editor user, but you should be able to just select everything, delete and save. If there was a reason to fully delete, i.e. make the history not acceptable to non admins etc. then you can add {{Db-self}} to the top, or from the Visaal editor I think that appears to be Insert Menu > Template > Template name: Db-self.

You are ironically vandalizing people's factual statements by undoing their work
This is a factual statement: Chris Chibnall destroyed the long running series Doctor Who.
Why are you undoing this? This is a factual statement which can be proven by looking at the ratings and the number of views. This show has tanked. If you consider censoring free speech, as "vandalism" then you have a twisted mindset.

Even though you have included a "Criticism" section, which is better than most, it still reads mostly like marketing.

Expanding article on Jonah Jones (sculptor)
Hello KylieTastic,
I have also posted the following message on Drm310's User talk. Sorry if I am doubling up but it is hard to keep up with who is who at Wikipedia. Three of your editors have now been on our case in the past 36 hours.
Jonah Jones was a figure of sufficient importance in Welsh, and indeed British, late-twentieth-century culture and education to merit an article on Wikipedia. He was not, though, important enough to motivate a range of scholarly publications, academic articles etc that can be cited as corrobating sources. The task of recording his life fell to a member of his family, as frequently occurs with public figures who are not considered, for whatever reason, to belong in the very first rank.
In 2008 the University of Wales Press's Seren Books imprint commissioned his second son, Peter Jones, to write a biography. Peter was well qualified for the task: he was a historian and former BBC journalist with the BBC Monitoring Service in Reading, from where he was seconded for three years to the UK Foreign Office, who in his early twenties worked for six years at Jonah Jones's studio where he was taught to engrave letters on slate to a high standard of excellence.
Peter Jones worked from many sources, all of which were cited over three pages at the end of the biography (Jonah Jones: An Artist's Life, 2011, ISBN 978-1-85411-556-0). He also drew extensively on private papers and letters and on archives held at the BBC, the Oxford Bodleian Library, the London Metropolitan Archives, the National Archives at Kew, the Tate Gallery in London, the Welsh Arts Council, the minutes of the Academic Council of the Dublin National College of Art and Design, the record of parliamentary questions in the Irish Dail Eireann, and the digital archives of The Irish Times newspaper.
The biography, in other words, was a thoroughgoing exercise in historical scholarship, not some hyped-up job designed to pour glory on its subject. If the manuscript had not passed this elementary test it would never have been accepted for publication. And, of course, the manuscript passed through all the usual editorial processes employed by any serious book publisher.
However, as far as Wikipedia is concerned, the central problem seems to be the lack of sufficient secondary sources to corrobate all the facts presented in the expanded article. If secondary sources do not exist - because, as I said at the beginning, other writers have not written much about Jonah Jones - then, according to your editors, all our efforts to expand the article to provide a fuller FACTUAL picture are doomed. You say you cannot accept the facts we have added because we (probably) cannot cite third-party corroboration for each added fact.
I say "we (probably) cannot" because, knowing Peter, I would not be altogether surprised if he dug up this and that from heaven knows where to cite as corrobation. He might be able to do so - he is, after all, a historian and a researcher, and disinterring well-hidden sources is what he does. He may therefore choose to rise to the challenge of proving to Wikipedia that every bit of his research was authentically truthful and that he was not a lying huckster.
For my part, I am so exhausted and disillusioned by the whole self-defeating pointlessness of all this that, together with my wife, I have decided to cancel my monthly financial support for Wikipedia. We have supported Wikipedia financially for many years because we believe it is one of the bulwarks of human civilisation and possibly the very best thing to have emerged from the internet. But after this despair-inducing experience, we turn away in sorrow. Good luck to you all.
Davidtownsendjones (talk) 17:49, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Davidtownsendjones firstly you have updated Jonah Jones (sculptor) with this edit which although it appears you have a Conflict of interest the edit was not reverted. You then posted to the article talk page to explain your post, a good idea and shows your good faith, but you said "All my contributions had been undone" which is not true. Jeff G. replied pointing out "Your additions were not removed". You can see from the article history here that your edit was not removed just a WP:COI tag added, this just means someone independent should reveiw. You said you believed Wikipedia was "one of the bulwarks of human civilisation and possibly the very best thing to have emerged from the internet" which is why so many of us volunteer so many hours because we do as well. I would hope you would understand it is how it is because we do have policies and procedures to folow, if not it would be like the so much of the rest of the internet... garbage.
- When you submitted User:Davidtownsendjones/sandbox/Jonah Jones to Articles for creation there was no statement that this was related to the article Jonah Jones (sculptor) and as we review hundreds of submissions a day we do not have the time to delve into users histories - as such I'm sorry that I missed the context it was posted in, or that it was about an existing subject. From your point of view it was obvious, but I hope you can see that from mine it was lacking context. However as your original edit stands, and your article talk page post is there for any discussion no further action appears to be needed.
- On your user page you state "I don’t agree about a conflict of interest, because I was only a tool and not the originator of any of the content." but you have said you are "one of Jonah Jones's children", and the content was from "Peter Jones" also the subjects son. Note that conflict of interest just means linked to the subject, not paid and it does not mean that your edits are wrong or bad - just that it is human nature that people with a WP:COI are naturally going to find it more difficult to be neutral. Also most people with a COI are not historians and journalist, I'm sure you can envisage the types of biased edits that get posted by other people with close links to subjects. Please note again that due to the amount of messages, edits and articles we have to review many responses are just standard templates, so they are not personal or accusations.
- To reiterate your edit to Jonah Jones (sculptor) has not been removed, and you have clearly been acting with good faith, and I'm sure Peter has done their best to be professional and accurate in their work. I'm sorry that the standard templated responses and our polices has left you felling "exhausted and disillusioned". They are tailored to cope with the thousands of biased and bad faith edits we get daily that do get reverted and accounts blocked. I'm sure also that neither Jeff G. or Drm310 meant in any way to make you feel we have been on your case. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 10:49, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi KylieTastic. Thank you. It feels like good sense has re-entered the discussion. As a fellow editor I can appreciate what it feels like to constantly be in the eye of a torrent of incoming submissions, many of them biased or in poor faith. You have my respect for stepping up to the plate and submitting to the torrent. So I do understand if there was some confusion - as appears, if I follow you correctly, to have been the case - about whether I had submitted a wholly new article or amendments to an existing one.
- As I have already said in so many words, we cannot help being Jonah Jones's children. But if we do not accept responsibility for keeping an objective, balanced account of his life and work in the public eye, our experience over the past 16 years since he died is that no one else will. Inevitably this leads to remarks about conflicts of interest. You and your colleagues are not the first to challenge us on the matter. Our only defence is to be able to demonstrate that we apply the same objective and neutral standards to the subject of 'Jonah Jones' as in all other areas of our professional practices as historians, writers, journalists, editors and researchers. It was in this spirit that we approached these revisions to the existing Wikipedia article.
- If, taking all of this discussion into account, you and your colleagues are satisfied with the outcome, would it now be possible for the template message at the top to be removed?
- Also, please could you point me at any advice published by Wikipedia about how to replace an existing image with another one? Although not easily phased by backend editing systems, I have to say that some of Wikipedia's methodologies are a whole new level of challenge!
Davidtownsendjones (talk) 15:30, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Davidtownsendjones, I've had to step back from doing much editing as real-life decided to throw a few issues at me, but I wanted to get an answer out. I'm not sure about the template message - the way things work here is either being WP:BOLD and then discussing if someone disagrees or getting a WP:Consensus. I don't have a problem with the additions, but I haven't been involved in such a case before and I don't feel like being bold at the moment as just exhausted with life, work and being sick. I'm sure some editors review these tags as they appear in automatically generated maintenance categories. So you can either leave is and see, or ask some others. I don't think there is a noticeboard for COI like other issues, so options to seek others input would be to add a {{help}} and question to the talk page, or to ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse or Wikipedia:Help desk
- on the issue of images that depends - if you have pictures that have not been published and you are happy to freely donate it's quite easy, however if they have been published or someone else has the copyright, or you aren't happy to donate on an open licence it's not easy. If it's the first then your account works on Wikimedia Commons our sister project for 'free' media. Any images uploaded there are usable on all language Wikipedias so any translations of the article would also be able to use. On commons you see "upload file" on the left had menu to this wizard. However, I just checked and see you already tried and run into an issue c:Commons:Help_desk#Changing_a_photograph where they did leave a reply. As I said if you have any photos of your own it should be easy if you use the commons wizard - it just appears the "Cross-wiki upload from" in the summary stopped your first attempt. If you do want to use images from another photographer a they say you have to go though the Commons:OTRS procedures. A real pain to get actual licence/copyright holder to do and frustrating if you know it's with permission, but they have to legally protect copyright holder from fraud - from just my little experience on Commons there are a lot of people uploading stolen files from the internet claiming as there own, which just means people like you have to deal with more procedures. Hope that helps a bit KylieTastic (talk) 18:37, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
Request on 17:54:07, 6 March 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Nicolas Dalmata
Dear Kyle, thank you for your message. Of course this is a draft and requires thorough elaboration. Being a non native writer, I will be grateful for any help to revise the page. I will also invite other wikipedians to work on the draft. As you can see in the text, there are several references that need to be added and cited properly. The page also needs a more consistent table of content. Please le me know if you have ideas on how to structure the paragraphs. My point in creating this page is that the recent surge of regional as well as transnational forms of crime narratives or crime sub-genres in Europe (e.g. the Nordic or Mediterranean Noir) invites the creation of a specific article presenting the history of this genre in Europe from a comparative angle, addressing its multilingualism and cultural plurality as a major defining feature.
Nicolas Dalmata (talk) 17:54, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- Looking in here,Nicolas Dalmata because I was about to review the draft also, the problem isn't that the concept isn't likely to be notable , but that you need to show this by actually having references. Unfortunately, our form notices don't really differentiate between a draft that just needs to be referenced, and a draft about something that probably will never be able to be adequately referenced. Unfortunately, we're reliant on notices because eveything needs to be reviewed, and we have insufficient reviewers to do it more individually. DGG ( talk ) 09:29, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Nicolas Dalmata as DGG said I'm not sure the subject would be notable enough for an Encyclopedic article, certainly the lead section is very much like an essay rather than Encyclopedic. Also for the rest it wasn't clear if it was based of sources or if it was original research (see WP:NOR). Unfortunately its not a subject I'm familiar with to be able to assist, and we still have thousands of other articles waiting for a review. You could do with finding editors with an interest in the subject... you could try Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Crime task force, or look at edits on similar subjects to find active editors with an interest, lately you could post at the Wikipedia:Teahouse to see if anyone has any suggestions.

Review of Count Von Aubel's Article
Dear KylieTastic; thanks for the review on my article.
I understand only partially the policy of the reliable sources, I tried now to reference the journal as far as possible.
Anyhow, I do not understand how my article should be rejected when other similar ones have been approved i.e. Forum Geometricorum. Could you help me to work out the article's weakness if I am doing something very wrong?
Best Regards;
Count Von Aubel (talk) 18:20, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Count Von Aubel over time the polices and standards of English Wikipedia have got stricter, so yes sometimes articles exist that if submitted now would not be accepted. Most often the Other stuff exists argument get the existing articles improved or deleted, and never helps drafts get accepted. As you first submitted you only had one reference, and it's multiple independent reliable sources that count to our notability guidelines - that are the basis of the main decisions to if a subject qualifies for an article. However you have already done the correct thing and added more references and resubmitted, so no your doing nothing wrong. Someone will review and get back to you, maybe myself or probably someone else as I have a drink and a curry to enjoy. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 18:36, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

In the first draft, I was befuddled at the article being declined, as the comment mentioned the player did not play in a fully professional league, but I corrected it by adding that the player had indeed played in a professional league which is Segunda B and added his appearances, would this article be able be in for submission? Thanks Vivalionel1 (talk) 21:02, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Vivalionel1 I didn't do a complete review, but I noticed the double submission and that as they had played for Real Zaragoza they were playing in a league on the list Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues. So they are partially notable, but there has been some issues that some think WP:NFOOTY is not enough and WP:GNG is also required... and I didn't look deep enough to decide either way. Someone will do a full review, maybe myself, but if you can find any other sources that have significant coverage of the subject that will help. All the best KylieTastic (talk)
JFrog Draft
What was wrong with the draft JFrog? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:JFrog#fixed_all_comments — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhijoshi90 (talk • contribs) 10:10, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Abhijoshi90 Firstly notability as the comment says subjects require significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources - currently none. Secondly it looks more like marketing - such as all the products listed twice - and I picked one sentence "JFrog's end-to-end solution—from Development to Distribution—is a vital part of a faster, more efficient application development and release processes" and googled, and no surprises it is a direct copy from marketing here see WP:COPYVIO.

Question about rejection of page draft: The Elephant in the Brain
Hi! Apologies in advance if I'm messing up Wikipedia etiquette and/or wasting anyone's time - I'm still getting to grips with Wikipedia!
You reviewed my draft of the page for the book 'The Elephant in the Brain' and flagged it for notability. I did read the notability page before I started the draft and thought that 'The Elephant in the Brain' satisfied notability requirement 1)"The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. " To make this clear, I cited both of the 'non-trivial published works' about the book in the 'Reception' section of the draft. The two works were both reviews, one in the Wall Street Journal and one in Quillette. I wanted to ask you more specifically why this does not meet requirement 1)? Is it because Quillette is an online magazine? (though apparently Quillette itself is non-trivial enough to have its own Wikipedia page)
If you could clear this up, I would really appreciate it. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alfredsph (talk • contribs) 14:56, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Alfredsph asking a fair question should be considered by no one as "wasting anyone's time" and welcome to Wikipedia. Although WP:NBOOK says two or more in general for subjects to be deemed notable with only two they would have to be very solid, reliable, and in-depth. The Wall Street Journal is definitely a very reliable source, but yes Quillette is flagged by the review tolls I use as "Generally unreliable" as listed here. I'm not aware of the site myself but the author "Samuel Hammond" is only listed as writing two reviews, so it's difficult to tell if they are promotional or biased. So although I would not discount the review it leaves more than enough doubt that if this was accepted into mainspace it could be nominated for deletion as only having one reliable source. Our job as reviewers is to accept articles that have a good chance of surviving any Wikipedia:Articles for deletion nomination. Look to see if you can find some more reviews/coverage and also I would drop the first source as the OUP one has the ISBN and makes it look like source padding. Hope that helps, KylieTastic (talk) 15:51, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for taking the time to answer. This clears up my confusion. The link you provided to the list of sources and their status as 'reliable', 'Generally Unreliable' etc. is particularly helpful. I've made the suggested changes and resubmitted. All the best, Alfredsph (talk) 18:42, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

referencing
Hi, I had my page decined when i tried to publish it due to there not being referneces. But i'm slightly confused as to what I need to reference, please could you helo me with this DanielCoen123 (talk) 11:45, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi DanielCoen123, all information on Wikipedia should be sourced with reliable sources so it can be verified, otherwise this would be just like social media. For biographies of living persons this is even more important (see WP:BLP). Also all new articles require significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability - in this case see Wikipedia:Notability (people). See Help:Referencing for beginners for information on how to add references. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:01, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

actually reading [2], and looking at the details about school and so on, this is an inappropriate posting and I think delete would have been better than decline, so I did it. I may be oversensitive about this, but I can imagine the problems it might cause. DGG ( talk ) 08:55, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

- Hi DGG I think I vaguely recall the article, was it about a girl from an admirer - if so I thought it maybe should be deleted but it's one of those cases of trying to work out what speedy condition would match. You deleted as "BLP privacyviolation" but when the page is not negative or an attack I didn't think G10 would apply (or more that it would depend on which admin dealt with it), so what would you think it should have been tagged as?

Hi KylieTastic. I saw this Draft:Oh Seung-ah and i did some improvements and added reliable sources. Can you published it. I fixed mistakes and everything. It's not my draft it is someone else's draft. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.43.31.84 (talk) 18:15, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi 39.43.31.84 normally I would say talk to the original creator, but as they don't have an account and haven't edited then I would say if you think it's not suitable then re-submit (blue button on the decline notice). However note that a member of a band must be notable outside of thing they did with the band, so the content and sources should show they are notable as set out by General notability guideline or specifically Wikipedia:Notability (people) or Wikipedia:Notability (music).

My Article
I have recently posted an article called "Federated States of Gapla" and I have noticed that you have declined it for being humorous. The article was for a micronation, which is a project to start a new nation by someone, and I feel that it should not be marked as humorous. There are articles of other micronations on Wikipedia such as the Principality of Sealand or the Republic of Molossia that have been approved. The Republic of Molossia is very humorous, they have claimed to go to war with East Germany! If there is another reason why my article was declined, feel free to message me! Thank you for the support. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seungri400 (talk • contribs) 17:12, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Seungri400, your article User:Seungri400/sandbox is just sourced by self made sources, it's own weebly and a wiki I'm guessing you created. Unlike places like the Principality of Sealand that exist in both a physical and legal form, as well as having many independent reliable sources, yours appears to be like the many self declared. As the "presidents" own website says born 2009, I assume this is nothing more than a 11 year old claiming there bedroom is a micronation. Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia, not a place for thing individuals make up or declare are true. Articles require significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability.

Spoiler Country Article
Hello,
Hoping this is how it works to get clarification. In attempts to get information out about the Spoiler Country podcast I used examples from other articles on Wikipedia. Could you maybe clarify what sections or exact issues caue this article to be rejected?
reasons for rejection:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.
are press releases needed?

Article waiting for review for long
Hi, I had created an article on Wikipedia Draft: Ass torture two months ago. However, since then it is in draft stage and is pending for review. I think you are one of the persons who reviews draft articles. In case you have time available, pls review my article.
Pls note that you can change the article name from "Ass torture" to "Anal torture". Thanks Dugro (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:14, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Sorry but yes the backlog got very big and long, but it is coming down from up to 5 months to up to 3 - see Category:AfC pending submissions by age, we all wish we had enough reviewers to get it down to a more desirable 1-2 week max, but we are all volunteers and we don't have enough.

Hello KylieTastic,
we don't really understand why the articles dedicated to Tanaza are always rejected by Wikipedia. We have tried every type of writing style, we have followed the Wikipedia guidelines, tested different levels of information. We are sure that our content is not commercial.

I hope you can help us to understand the reasons before this decision against Tanaza.

- Hi Marco Papavero firstly the fact you say we indicates that you are doing this on behalf of the company - so the first guideline your not following is Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. I cannot see the first version of User:Marco Papavero/sandbox that was deleted so I can only comment on the version I declined. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS) to show notability - in this case see Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) as linked to on the decline notice. You have no references at all let alone multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS) to show notability.

American Revolutionary Party article
Hello, Kylie Tastic I created an article about the American Revolutionary Party and it has been declined because it isn't notable. Which I understand, but what exactly is considered "notable"? As far as I know, the American Revolutionary Party (ARP) is famous on Instagram as they have around 1000 followers.
- Hi MogasTheThird I wouldn't call 1000 followers on Instagram "famous", and numbers of followers/subscribers etc on social media have no value here - some YouTubes with millions of follows are still not "notable". What notability means is having significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources - see Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) or WP:GNG. So there own website and social media don't count as not independent. Cheers, keep safe KylieTastic (talk) 18:09, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

- Hi, IMDB along with Wikis (including Wikipedia) are not deamed reliable sources as they are user-generated and while popular films may be mostly accurate we have many submissions where the IMDB entry was created or changed recently. And unlike Wikipedia, no sources to check anything is correct. See WP:RSPSOURCES for the list of most used sources and which are good and bad. There are lots more, but they should not be linked to the subject, user-generated, publishers of submitted works. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources for more information.

Specific References I Need for Approval
Hi KylieTastic I would like to get your recommendation on what types of specific references I should enter to have this article approved https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Spill_(book). Is the most important thing to have lots of ref links within the body that appear in the References section at the bottom of the article? Or is it more valuable to have more Templates cite web, cite news, cite book, cite journal references? I feel like there are enough references to this novel out there on the web; I just need to know what would count the most to getting it approved. The author, Les Standiford, has a wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Standiford, his own author page http://www.les-standiford.com/ . Should I look at the references used in Standiford's Wikipedia article to see if I can find more on this novel Spill in them? Any feedback would be appreciated. I really liked this book and would love to have the article published! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jshipley528 (talk • contribs) 22:03, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Jshipley528 I see you had asked the same at WP:WPAFC/HD and had no reply - unfortunately we are all just volunteers and things get missed, especially at the moment when some frequent editors are doing less (such as myself) or nothing due to real life issues. Firstly it is more important to have a few very good references that lots, and yes it is always good to have them in the body of the article rather than just listed at the bottom so information can be verified WP:V more easily. See Help:Referencing for beginners for the key guide, note that you can use the same source in many places see the same reference used more than once section. Although using the cite templates helps people locate the sources, especially for bare urls to preserve extra information for if the url changes, but it's not essential. The most important thing here is all new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable subjects (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Just because Les Standiford is notable does not mean every piece of work is also notable on it's own. The key criteria for a book is Wikipedia:Notability (books) in particular WP:BOOKCRIT. Currently your three sources are the book (not independent), the second appears to just be the book blurb (not independent), the last is IMDB (not a reliable source) and is about the film adaptation. So what you need to find is the independent sources, normally at least 3, for instance reviews and any awards won. Hope that makes sense - all the best, keep safe KylieTastic (talk) 11:39, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

English Wikipedia page for Josef Mitterer
Dear KylieTastic, many thanks for taking the time to review my draft! The Austrian philosopher Josef Mitterer has been increasingly received outside the German speaking world for years, so I think it is time for an English Wikipedia entry. I hope I have responded appropriately to your objections with the additional references and I will continue working on it. You mention that you have a busy life and so do I. However, I would be very grateful if you could take another look at the draft. Best wishes.

My German is minimal but I think another source that could be used to show the impact of his work is https://science.orf.at/v2/stories/2921821/ and that also gives other sources. I think your correct that they probably meet our notability standards, but if you could add a bit more from that source or others, and any news stories about him then I think it will be acceptable.

Hi and thanks again for your feedback! I've added the link you suggested and one more reference from the Austrian newspaper Die Presse.

Yahh I have seen that but still I'm so confused that what ref should be the correct one ? Tanisha priyadarshini (talk) 16:04, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Tanisha priyadarshini, to make a start find just put the reference between the ref tags after the text in the article it is a source for. i.e. <ref>http://somesite.com/example.html</ref> or <ref>Name or publication, date, author, page(s)</ref>. However if your talking about Draft:Panchanan Maheswari then Panchanan Maheshwari already exists, and if you look at that, or any other article, you can see examples of references.

Hi
Thank you for resolving error Maizbhandariya (talk) 18:56, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Maizbhandariya, no worries happy to help. Keep safe KylieTastic (talk) 19:29, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi ,can you please tell me when will this article become live thanks Maizbhandariya (talk) 20:08, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Maizbhandariya, sorry there is no timescales - like everything on Wikipedia reviewing is done by volunteers. Many submissions are reviewed in the first couple of days, however some get left as no one immediately wanted to accept or decline. Currently there 1995 submissions waiting , which is better than the 4000+ it was at a couple of months ago. All the best KylieTastic (talk)
Actually I thought that you are a new page reviewer ,so asked this question sorry and thanks again Maizbhandariya (talk) 20:28, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Maizbhandariya, I am a reviewer but to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:35, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
Ok thanks Maizbhandariya (talk) 20:37, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi,I beg to your kindness for my draft to be review by another experienced editor than previous one who do not share any sort of good or bad relationship with the article,so that an unbiased decision will be made.thanks have a nice e Maizbhandariya (talk) 04:36, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Maizbhandariya, you don't appear to have asked the last reviewer for any more feedback. Other options you have is to use the "ask us a question" link on the decline notice to ask the AfC Help desk, or you can ask for the Wikipedia:Teahouse. However I see AaqibAnjum has been making changes and has marked as doing more. They are also an AfC reviewer so maybe they are working on getting it into a state for acceptance. I would suggest waiting to see what they do, and if not accepteed asking them for advice on what is needed. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 09:52, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks dear KylieTastic. I've copy edited the draft. Maizbhandariya may resubmit it to AfC for acceptance. I've done my best to bring the article close to WP:NPOV. I can see it passes WP:GNG easily and other criterias do meet. The creating editor has been troublesome at places by undoing my edits. That should not be done. Aaqib Anjum Aafī (talk) 09:58, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi , actually I want to add the beliefs and practices of Saqib Iqbal Shami as a spiritual leader draft:Saqib Iqbal Shami with reliable independent sources but user:Aqib Anjum is reverting my edits without any reason can you please help me for this,also I have added the reliable sources to draft; khwaja Abdullah chishti as it was declined for not adding reliable sources, he is also reverting it without any reason, you are requested to kindly solve this issue, an unbiased decisions is hoped Maizbhandariya (talk) 11:34, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Please don't do disruptive editing on the Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not everything where you share the beliefs, in lists. Noting that Saqib Iqbal Shami is a Sufi and Barewli - it automatically adds up his beliefs. Moreover, you do not have enough knowledge about referencing, please see WP:REFB and that the Draft:Khwaja Abdullah Chishti is being looked after by User:Shahbazakhter99, you should and must not disrupt his editing, unless he clears the issue. You can add up resources on the talk page instead because you are right now ignorant of WP:REFB and why are you removing maintenance tags from Saqib Iqbal Shami? Aaqib Anjum Aafī (talk) 12:24, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
Still Aqib Anjum is deleting the reliable sources from draft: Khwaja Abdullah chishti which can be seen as an unbiased editing as he is a believer of deobandi ideology mentioned on his user page so he wanted to edit the pages on his personal interest,a strict action is requested against this user aa early as possible thanks have a nice day ,be safe Maizbhandariya (talk) 12:28, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

- Maizbhandariya, did I not copy edited your article about Saqib Iqbal Shami. Why are doing personal attacks on me? The above image is from a Wikipedia Workshop that I arranged in a town known as Deoband. You are newbie and I welcome you too to learn some policies of Wikipedia. You are welcome always. But do not do this disruptive editing. - Aaqib Anjum Aafī (talk) 12:32, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
Dear Kylie,there is also evidences that user: Aqib Anjum had made many article on deobandi figures which can be seen as his deep connection with the deobandi movement thanks have a great day keep safe ⭐ for you Maizbhandariya (talk) 12:38, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Are Deobandi personalities not deserving a place on Wikipedia? At least any of my article does not fail in referencing like yours. You have used a number of unreliable references on Saqib Iqbal Shami, and I would request you, please stop doing vandalism and be fear with Wikipedia policies. You seem to be a stubborn. - Aaqib Anjum Aafī (talk) 12:44, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Maizbhandariya and AaqibAnjum after a very long day I have no desire to get involved however I will make some comments/observations...
- Maizbhandariya maintenance tags should not be removed as you did here without addressing the issue (i.e. when it's clear, such as no categories that is easy to understand and fix). If a tag such as "Unreliable sources" is placed that disputes your own work you should either discuss with the editor who added the tag and/or start a discussion on the article talk page possibly using {{help}} to get other editors attention; or just leave for another non-involved editor to review. It is also fine to ask for input/opinion at a general help forum such as the Wikipedia:Teahouse or the Wikipedia:Help desk.
- If a tag is removed, or other such edits and then reverted both editors should preferably discuss on the article talk page as per Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle (WP:BRD) and not keep reverting - beware the The three-revert rule (WP:3RR)
- Maizbhandariya if you have an issue with another editor you should not go to Wikipedia talk:Username policy but Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents (WP:ANI) or the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard
- Maizbhandariya I am aware there are many different factions/movements/groups in Islam (like most/all religions) but I have no interest in the frictions between such groups. I have no knowledge of Deobandi. Any editor is allowed to edit in there area of interest, as long as they have no Conflict of interest (WP:COI) and the articles meet the guidelines that is not just OK but normal. Many if not most of the editors who create articles have a subject or subjects that interest them - be that roads, plants, a band, a sport, a science, ete. So if AaqibAnjum has mostly created Deobandi related articles that is fine. It is expected that such things are balanced out by other editors interested in other areas.
- Collaborative editing is not an easy thing to do, especially on subjects that relate to religion & politics and other such emotive subjects. But Wikipedia is collaborative editing based on the current guidelines that where created collaboratively. The best advice is always to step back from any conflict, give it time, get other opinions and try not to escalate.
- To both of you stay safe, be happy, as that's what matters most KylieTastic (talk) 18:01, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
Theta Nu Psi
Greetings. And thank you for the quick review. Can you please provide me guidance in what particular Reliable sources do you need? We have our 501 from the IRS and are Incorporated from Virginia. Again thank you for any guidance you can provide.
- Hi Ru9ture, Wikipedia uses a concept of notability as described at WP:N, which basically means articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. While details of a 501 are indeed independent and reliable it is not any in-depth coverage. The point is not to show subjects exist, but has the world "noticed" - if Wikipedia just required it to be proved subjects exist every company, organisation, brand, person, book, film, sports team etc would have a page. Usually 3+ independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS) with significant coverage (not just a passing mention) is required. Hope that explains things. Keep safe KylieTastic (talk) 19:55, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yes it does actually. But what if the recognition is done via social (i.e. FB, Twitter, etc.)? Again thanks for the quick response.
- Hi Ru9ture, generally not as most stuff on social media is from unverified sources, and trivial in nature. Most is classified as "Self-published sources" see WP:RSSELF. However obviously this is not always the case, otherwise a lot of what Trump says could not be referenced without finding another reliable source re-quoting, etc. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:44, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- KylieTastic You are AWESOME!!!! LOL! Good point! Let me do some digging around and I'll look into resubmitting.

- Hi Behrouz asbahi sis, different language Wikipedias have different policies and standards. In general as they get larger they get more guidelines, and get stricter. English Wikipedia requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability. So sorry but it is not acceptable as it is at the moment. However it appears the Persian language version does have a lot of references. I haven't checked them to see if there are multiple independent reliable sources, but hopefully there are, so look to use some of those, or any others you can find that talk about the subject in-depth, and add to your article - see Help:Referencing for beginners for help in adding sources.

What is considered a 'Reliable Source'
Dear, KylieTastic You recently declined my article about the Origin of the Funderburk Name. You said that neither cites seemed liked "Reliable Sources" but please hear me out. I am new to this Wikipedia stuff, and don't know much about what is considered a reliable source. However, I know what I am taking about on that page. I decedent of the 'Von Der Burg' family. I am positive I don't need a thousand reliable sources when I am one.
-Patriot History2nd Please message me back at my talk page on User:Patriot History2nd
- Hi Patriot History2nd for the full answer on what an RS is see Wikipedia:Reliable sources - however let me explain on the particular ones on Draft:The History of the Funderburk Name. The first forebears.io states that it's distribution map is from a "global database of over 4 billion people" so fine, however the other information is marked as "User-submission" and "User-submitted" so not suitbale to Wikipedia. I'm sure they were probably submitted in good faith and could have come from valid sources, but also could be just a story that has been passed down in the family with no historical reality - basically there is no way to verify correctness (WP:V). The second funderburk.de appears to be someone's personal website. Now the history section may be correct as it starts "Several books have been written Of the Family Funderburk" which is good if they used sources, but Wikipedia would expect the original books to be used as references. Some of these home Genealogy projects are very well done, others take a more poetic stance - i.e. preferring interesting sounding stories, and famous relatives rather than worry about factualness. Being a "decedent of the 'Von Der Burg' family" has no merit here - you will have either got your information from reliable sources or not, if the first they should be used here. We don't need or want a "thousand reliable sources", generally 3+ good sources, or 2+ excellent sources are desired to show notability and in general all key facts should be backed by at least 1 source. Look for some more sources to add, having these more informal sources is a great way to start locating better ones. You could also seek help/advise at Wikipedia:WikiProject Genealogy.

Sorry
Dear KylieTastic, I am personally sorry for the disruptive edits that the another editor has made at your talk page concerning me. I would request you too to make him understand basic principles of Wikipedia. Regards - Aaqib Anjum Aafī (talk) 13:15, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Aaqib Anjum Aafī, these things happen now and then no worries. The only thing I would say is when a disagreement moves as it did to Wikipedia talk:Username policy it's best to step back and let other deal with it. It stops the other party feeling hounded and when a third party (in this case an admin) sees the post they can bring balance and an independent judgement to the issue. One thing I always try to do is to not make things one editor vs another (even if I really think the other party is wrong, unless mindless vandalism) - so for instance if I reject an AfC submission twice in a row and they just resubmit I wont reject as much as I may want too, but I leave for another to reject so they can see that it's not just that one persons opinion. I do appreciate the sentiment though and thank you. Keep happy, keep safe, all the best KylieTastic (talk) 18:13, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks dear KylieTastic for your humble advises. Love. - Aaqib Anjum Aafī (talk) 21:06, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
Todd Burns (producer)
Can you tell me what needs to be done here?
- Hi as my comment on Draft:Todd Burns (producer) said "Requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability". The first source is a passing mention; the second is IMDB so user -generated content and not a reliable source; the third just a passing mention; the forth is just a listing, so better than a passing mention but nothing in-depth.

However with the backlog shrinking daily hopefully it wont be to long. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:49, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- OK thanks. It wasn't a request, just a heads up. This is my first meeting with Afc. I only saw the outright crime of not allowing it in the first place, and backed whoever submitted it. I can't accept anything but a pass. BaldBoris 11:17, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hey BaldBoris - they do look like a notable company, at least with a quick look - surprised that it failed its AfD before. I just noticed your edit history - a lot of FA/GA and 205 article created, you clearly know your stuff. AfC is always looking for experienced editors to help tame the backlog, even if you only do a a few all helps. I see your interest is in cycling if so it looks like we have a few you may be interested in AfC cycling submissions. if interested ask for name to be added to the AfC Participants and enable "Yet Another AFC Helper Script:" in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets.

If you can find any to add great, and then either way re-submit and an AfC reviewer will re-check. Stay safe KylieTastic (talk) 10:14, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
Thanks KylieTastic. I am basically just trying to figure out an appropriate subject that warrants a contribution. I am trying to cut down on the possibility of spending time writing on a subject that won't get approved. I initially wanted to add to the Raymond Chandler page and create a "subheading"? for "Raymond Chandler and Los Angeles" which catalogues all of the Los Angeles locations associated with the writer and his work. This is all very daunting, though, Especially because I am working under a deadline for university. Any help, clarity, or just all around good vibes are welcomed and appreciated. Jack Fangles (talk) 19:17, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Jack Fangles writing new articles is one of the hardest things on Wikipedia, the same as for many tasks starting with nothing. I've always been baffled when I see someone trying to create new articles linked to outside education, at least without a solid mentor. Also with AfC in the past being up to a 5 month wait, really not appropriate for educational tasks IMHO. With over 6 million articles finding a good topic that isn't covered isn't easy (or at least I don't find it so). Wikipedia:Requested articles is supposed to be a place to start, but many requests are without sources or any indication of notability. WikiProjects are also a place some find ideas, but there are only a few that are active. Another place to start is look at subjects your interested in and look for any red-links for related topics, then see if you can find sources to show notability. You could ask at a more general forum such as the Wikipedia:Teahouse so that many editors will see the question and can give advice. All the best, stay safe KylieTastic (talk) 10:03, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
Why did you delete my article?
Hi there.
I want to know why you deleted my Wikipedia entry when it was more or less mirrored this ACCEPTED Wikipedia article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_(social_network).
This article that I submitted did not break any rules that Wikipedia currently have standing. Also, you did not provide any comments on what needed to be improved on to be accepted.
Looking forward to your response,
Michael
- Hi Michael Walliam firstly I did not delete the article, I flagged as promotional and an administrator checked, agreed and deleted the article. I can not see deleted article so I have to go from vague memories, but I don't believe it had any independent reliable sources to show notability unlike Hello (social network). If Hello (social network) was submitted to AfC now as the current rules stand it probably would not be accepted, however doing a google search it appears other sources exist. Obviously your wrong about not "break any rules" as both myself and the administrator who deleted it believed it was just it met Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#G11 "Unambiguous advertising or promotion". As it was flagged for speedy deletion, there was no point in saying how it could be improved. If you believe you can find multiple independent reliable sources with significant coverage to show notability then you are free to recreate. Stay safe KylieTastic (talk) 10:15, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Apologies for the presumption.
Hi again, Kylie.
Okay, so do you have a link to what would be considered as an independent, reliable source? We have Medium posts regarding the app that are currently up - would articles and citations like these be reliable?
Thanks in advance.
- Hi Michael Walliam the main guideline is Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Unfortunately no easy answer, but most major newspapers independent websites etc - the main thing to avoid is any user-generated content (Wikis, IMDB, etc) and any that publish for money, or publish press releases - there is now a lot of websites that look like news but just repost a mix of real news from other news sites, and mix in paid content to give it credibility. Another way to think about it is any source that has actually written the content mostly themselves, such as proper independent reviews. There is a non-exhaustive list of often discussed sources at WP:RSPSOURCES - Medium is marked as "generally unreliable" as it's a blog site and thus user-generated content. Hope that helps explain things KylieTastic (talk) 08:37, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
"Requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability"
The first reference is a Article that discusses the person I wrote about> That article also References a book that has the same information. The second reference is a Article by a notable news site for military members. The third reference is a Article by a notable military news journalist.
How are these not relevant or valid sources? There was MULTIPLE and INDEPENDENT sources. There are 1000's of Wikipedia pages that are created with less reliable sources and less reliable information. Any other "References" would just be redundant information.
- Hi, the first ref was a brief mention, the second was by the subject so not independent - yes many Wikipedia articles created before the current standards would not be accepted, and slowly are being found and improved or deleted. KylieTastic (talk) 20:47, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- I am not sure what more you want, the guy worked for DELTA FORCE. A brief mention is still a reliable source. Maybe you guys should have a Military Moderator/Admin do reviews who understand this stuff. It's not like they publish their stores often. There is now 11 References to include interviews. There is not much more you can post for someone who worked for Delta Force and USASOC for 20 years. And I've been on here for 10 + years they are not slowly being improved or deleted. And last there was significant proof he was in the band, I am not sure what you are looking for as "proof". These are more than reliable sources for a college paper, they should work for Wikipedia...76.184.194.146 (talk) 20:55, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Great so you've improved the sourcing, that's what we want. Wikipedia "notability" is not about has a subject done worth while things, but have they been noted by the world. So unfortunately that means a "celebrity" who has done nothing but self promote can qualify, but many people who have done great things with their lives, helped the world, even saved mankind but no one writes about them don't. It's far from a perfect system, but having to have verifiable sources that are independent and non-trivial keeps the hundreds of people, companies, quack ideas from using Wikipedia to promote themselves each day. The guidelines and policies make Wikipedia better than most social media and blogs, but less than it could/should be if it had staff working on content like other encyclopedias.

Articles for Creation: Sandbox rejected - Potential stub?
Hi Kylie, Hope you and everyone around you are doing well. My submission at Articles for Creation: Sandbox was rejected, as it lacked significant coverage, and contained only passing mentions. However, the subject is well known for his works on social media and has over 100 million views on YouTube. Can we consider it as a potential stub, which we can keep updating with time? Thanks. Bling.a.ding (talk) 07:43, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Bling.a.ding, sorry but that's not how Wikipedia works. A stub just means minimal content, but the subject has to still be deemed "notable" - in this case WP:BIO. See Wikipedia:WikiProject YouTube/Notability that has the section "AfD discussions" that shows how many YouTube related articles have been deleted - even for cases such as "Deji Olatunji" with 5 million subs, and is up for deletion discussion again for Deji (YouTuber) even with billions of views. It's sources outside of the fan-base that count. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 08:57, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks BrianF1Man (talk) 16:29, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi BrianF1Man, even if you have the copyright then you have to have given permission to use under the licence Wikipedia uses (when you save an article it says just above the public button what that means). So if previously published Wikipedia needs to be able to verify that the copyright holder is actually realising the text - See Wikipedia:Copyrights for the whole topic and Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for how to donate. However the other issue is if you have written the text then it sounds like possible "original research" so see Wikipedia:No original research - so you would still need to provide reliable sources for it to be usable. Copyright is something Wikipedia takes very seriously due to the legal problems that could arise, so I hope you understand why the original action was taken, we have a lot of people just taking other peoples text and images without permission. All the best, keep safe KylieTastic (talk) 17:34, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Can I re-access the article to edit it appropraitely? I have references for all the data in the article but hadn't completed including the references yet. This is my first Wikipedia article that I've written and a friend told me that an edit review would take 6 months (not 1hr!!!) and I would have had plenty of time to complete all the edits and references that I wanted to include as well as expand it. Can I just have it as a draft and then resubmit for editing once it is ready for review? Thanks for the encouraging words and please excuse my naivety when it comes to writing my first attempt. BrianF1Man (talk) 18:34, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi BrianF1Man, yes the AfC process backlog did get up to a horrendous 5 months and approx 5000 submitted articles backlogged with hundreds of new ones a day - however we've been fighting it hard recently (like all editors we are just volunteers who 'choose' to help) and it's down to < 1700 and only 36 left that have been waiting 3+ months. Several of us check the new submissions for copyright violations, attack pages, spam, promotion, easy accepts so yes many articles get reviewed in the first 24 hours, but then tend to wait till they reach the other end of the queue - so hours or many months. A horrible situation, but we have way more submissions than we have volunteer experienced editors. I'm not an admin so I cannot access your deleted draft and until the text is donated it could not be restored as it still counts as a copyright violation. So you can jump the copyright issue by following the process on Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials and then ask for it to be restored, or possibly you can ask the deleting admin Jimfbleak to email a copy if you plan to significantly reword the text to avoid copyright issues. Remember writing new articles is not an easy thing to start with but if you work though the issues creating them is rewarding - oh and the Wikipedia:Teahouse is there to help new editors out. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:03, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Hello kylie
Thanks for your reply to my request ,with your blessings I have sorted out the previous editing issue but Dear Kylie I need your help again to check my new Draft: Shakir Ali Noorie whether it is meeting Wikipedia's general notability and If not than please guide me accordingly so that it will become live,also you are kindly requested to please look onto other issues if possible ,help from the blessed and experienced editor like you will be my fortune...... cheers...have a nice time... thanks again17:22, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Dear Kylie what is your personal opinion whether it is fit for submission? Maizbhandariya (talk) 18:12, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Maizbhandariya sorry I've run out of energy for Wikipedia, on top of real-life work it's making days really long, so I have no energy to review and to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random. I also find biographies difficult as I have no personal interest in most people, I'm more interested in scienc0e, engineering, or the works of people. I would note that the "Spiritual lineage" has no reference, and such lineages from the Prophet onwards would need good references. You may also be able to find some editors with an interest in helping, and more knowledge than I have in Wikipedia:WikiProject Islam. Other than that I would say look for any other good reliable sources that have talked about the subject to add then once finished submit. Remember a decline is not a reject, it's just part of the review process. You could also ask for feedback from the Wikipedia:Teahouse where lots of experienced editors will see the question.

Request on 17:37:53, 21 April 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Phug846
Oxford PPE Society draft page
Hiya thanks for responding to my draft so quickly! Was wondering which part of your notes I should pay most attention to, to improve it. WP:42 mentions significant coverage from reliable sources independent of the topic.
Significant coverage: covered in relevant newspapers, official Oxford University website Reliable sources: official website, nationally acknowledged newspapers, official University site Independent of the topic: I am sorry but I'm not sure what this means.
Phug846 (talk) 17:37, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Phug846 the basic criteria for an organisation can be found at WP:ORGCRIT - so yes national newspapers, independent websites, books, magazines etc are all good. The Oxford university website is somewhat, but they are obviously not totally independent. oxfordppesoc.com is completely non-independent while oxfordstudent.com although probably independent in one sense is there to report on oxofrd uni related subjects so not independent as Wikipedia means. For "Independent of the topic" see WP:INDY - basically is the source reporting because they have links to the subject or not, i.e. local interest only. A way to think about it is if no one outside of the Oxford University linked outlets have 'noticed' then it's not yet notable enough for a worldwide encyclopedia. Hope that helps, so tired I'm struggling to think of the words tbh! Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:34, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Broken links fixed
Kindly do not revert my today's edits. I am only fixing broken links and you are bringing back the dead ones. Thanks.
- No Vassiliades you have been reverting to your versions of the articles mostly from 2018 adding back many broken links, invalid categories, and other issues other editors over the years have addressed. If there are broken links fix them but don't do it based from your very old versions disregarding all other editors. KylieTastic (talk) 20:13, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- I was searching through my old contributions and corrected the broken links there. I was not aware that the whole page was coming back. How should I revert them, since I made more than 100 changes today?
- Hi Vassiliades it looks like you only made 43 edits today (other than here) see Special:Contributions/Vassiliades I know it often feels like more. I only reverted the ones that looked like large reversals and/or introducing errors (but I may have missed some). To see your changes to each article look at the history (the 'hist' link on the left of your edits on Special:Contributions/Vassiliades). From looking at the edits were you just trying to remove the "en/" and fix links from "https://elinepa.org"? If you notice any others you accidentally edited more than expected you can use the "undo" next to your edit on the article history, then re-edit the article from the edit at the top-right of the article to do the fixes you actually meant to do. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:36, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Vassiliades if you want I can easily revert all the other edits, and you can then just re-do the link corretions you meant to do. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 20:46, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. That will be helpful. I just made a change on a page now though the edit. Hope it works ok now.
- Hey Vassiliades OK I've revert ed them all - and yes that last edit this was good and what I believe you meant all along. These things happen, all good for you to go ahead and fix the rest. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot and sorry for the trouble caused. Best Regards.
- Hey Vassiliades no trouble at all, we all make mistakes. You meant to fix broken links and improve articles, and I'm happy to help anyone with such good intentions. Wikipedia is built on millions of those good intentions that together make what Wikipedia is. All the best, stay safe KylieTastic (talk) 21:08, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Vandalism on Meles Zenawi, Hailemariam Desalegn and Abiy Ahmed
Hi KylieTastic, If you're patrolled can you protect the page of three articles (Meles Zenawi, Hailemariam Desalegn and Abiy Ahmed), which heavily abused by an IP editor by deliberately changing office position chronology. If you doesn't so, can you ask other administrator for attention of these articles? The Supermind (talk) 11:35, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi The Supermind if pages are under persistent vandalism then you can request self-protection at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection if just a single IP editor then you should warn them see Wikipedia:Vandalism and WP:WARNVAND. However be sure it is vandalism and not just difference of opinion/misunderstanding. With such jobs some people count individuals, others count terms - so maybe start by asking why they changed them? Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:46, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
looking to improve
Hi Kylie, I am trying to improve an article written on Bruce Pawsey. I read the inital guidance and have since resubmitted but Im wondering if there is anything specific that needs to be improved. thanks NedNedSuskin (talk) 12:36, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi NedSuskin just a quick note as I'm at work but you said you have resubmitted but User:NedSuskin/sandbox has not yet been resubmitted, so if you had meant to please note you have to click "Publish Changes" (bottom left) after "Resubmit". Although the notability guidelines are long and nuanced the general gist is that all new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Also that all major claims made should have a reference - see Help:Referencing for beginners for help on that. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 08:47, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

About the article palath
Hi,
The article i've drafted is about a small village in calicut city in kerala not about a person or a product to have more citations to follow.There are so many articles published in wikipedia without proper sources regard to the same content mentioned above.Citations are only available in native malayalalm language that is not much useful for english version of wikipedia.Requesting you to look in to this article and guide us to expand it with available sources.--Outlander07 Outlander07 (talk) 19:47, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Outlander07, yes other poorly sourced article do exist but generally they were created many years ago before the current standards for article existed. The Other stuff exists argument is more likely to get the existing articles either improved or deleted. The current procedures and guidelines are there to try to make sure the encyclopedia improves in quality. However, the good news is your wrong about non English sources - they are acceptable, especially for notability and key facts. Also please check the wiki-links are what was intended as it currently states "Palath is a small village in " then links to Chelannur which says it "is a village". A village within a village?

Need your help !
Dear , actually I have made a draft on children's story . So, I just need your help to check my Draft:THE SAINT AND THE MOUSE ! whether it is meeting Wikipedia's general notability and if not please guide me accordingly so that it will become live , also you are kindly requested to please look onto other issues if possible. Tanisha priyadarshini (talk) 15:49, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Tanisha priyadarshini to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it when you submit it - it is not yet submitted. However I would say its unclear what the reference is I can find any mention of a book "Become mouse again". Also one reference is never enough for WP:GNG and see Wikipedia:Notability (books) for book notability guidlines. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 15:57, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
Ok but I just wanna know how /what changes should I do for getting it fit for submittion? Tanisha priyadarshini (talk) 16:05, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Tanisha priyadarshini the most basic thing is to find (and add) multiple independent reliable sources with significant coverage to show notability. Also it need to be clear what the subject is? I assumed its a book, if so youd expect the acrticle to start "The Saint and The Mouse is a childrens book by.... " KylieTastic (talk) 16:09, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
Actually its not a book , it was picked from a part of a book , but the book is not about it . So, what should I do now ? Tanisha priyadarshini (talk) 16:17, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- Tanisha priyadarshini so it's about just a part of a book, I'm assumeing the book in the refernce. You may find the part of the book interesting, but it's unlikley it is notable for an Encyclopedic article - unless it has been written about in multiple independent reliable sources. KylieTastic (talk) 16:22, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
Ohhh..... OK , I got it . Thanks for your help. With lots of love 💞Tanisha priyadarshini (talk) 16:28, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Sheikh Jalal ud-Din page
Hello,
Can you tell me what I need to do to have this web page posted on Wikipedia? I believe that this is a figure that requires a wiki page for the purpose of communication with the multitude of international actors that he interacts with - allowing them to know what he is doing and who he has met with without having to check references. Please tell me what I can do to meet requirements, thank you—Tomnewman72 (talk • contribs) 12:42, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Tomnewman72 Wikipedia is for articles for subjects already deemed notable not for "the purpose of communication with the multitude of international actors") all new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS).

- Hi Tomnewman72, I agree "the progression and welfare of human rights" is a notable subject, and maybe your subjects' work will help progress it and their work then spoken/written about and then I'm sure someone will write an article about them. However unfortunately not all notable works are spoken/written about and for those articles wont exist, but it does not diminish the value of the notable things they do.

includeonly tag for template code
Is there any reason why you want to suppress template output with <includeonly>...</includeonly>
on the actual template page like you just added at {{letter other reps}}? Is there a guideline on this somewhere? VanIsaacWScont 19:42, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Vanisaac sorry I guess I should have added a little more to the edit summary, but it seamed like a run-of-the-mill template edit. It depends on the template, but if the template does not render in any useful way on the template page it serves no purpose as the "Template documentation" section shows the correct render. Also it was being listed as an image usage problem, and I've seen inexperienced try to 'fix' the errors not understanding templates, so it's just neater overall. Cheers, stay safe KylieTastic (talk) 19:49, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
- As a person who is involved with a fair number of templates, I'd love the edit summary for maintenance like this to show me the error category it's showing up in. But thanks for doing what you do. VanIsaacWScont 21:50, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Kyle, Copperweld is the registered word mark of Copperweld Bimetallics LLC with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. There is no ambiguity. And, there is no Fushi Copperweld.

- Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia it's for information not promotion, your companies registered word is of no interest. Note that no edit is trusted just on personal declaration, reliable sources are required, and people with a clear COI are definitely not trusted. The fact the "Fushi Copperweld" no longer exists and according to you "dissolved inn 2012" is also not an issue, should we remove all historical information? Information can and should be updated with reliable sources, but Wikipedia is not for a company to promote it's own brand. KylieTastic (talk) 18:06, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
Ho to improve the edit you have declined for publication
Dear Kylie Tastic,
My draft on the sculptor Mamikon Yengibarian has been declined because of the inefficient references. I would need help and guidance here: there are many publications on him, but most of them are in paper based journals. Or some are only in Hungarian. He is certainly notable for his public works and I mentioned those in the draft. If his own website cannot be there, as well as the gallery websites, then it is difficult to make any reference. How shall I go about that? I have also to mention that I did encounter articles on painters with less references, yet they have been admited for pubications, even with just 4 sentences!
Many thanks for your guidance in advance! Sona--Grigsanch (talk) 15:57, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Grigsanch, firstly yes other poorly sourced article do exist but generally they were created many years ago before the current standards for article existed. The Other stuff exists argument is more likely to get the existing articles either improved or deleted. The current procedures and guidelines are there to try to make sure the encyclopedia improves in quality. However although online sources are preferred for verifiability "paper based journals" are still valid - see paper based journals. As for Draft:Mamikon Yengibarian the first source pinterest would not be a reliable source (see WP:RS) as it's just posts from other sources that may or may not be reliable source; the second AP is reliable but just a passing mention; the third is just a catalogue with nothing in depth. Wikipedia "notability" (See WP:N) is not to show a subject exists but "the world" has noted then subject and written etc about it. In general all new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS) - see WP:ARTIST for what we look for in an artist, but an artist could also pass just as a notable person WP:BIO or a generally notable subject WP:GNG. Hope that explains things, but if as you say "there are many publications on him" please do include them. Cheers, stay safe KylieTastic (talk) 18:55, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

KylieTastic, Thank you for your feedback on the article that I am putting together about the 34th Army Band. I've done quite a bit of research on the organization, but am still clumsy at understanding how to use Wikipedia--I will put something together with more substance and independent sources, then I will resubmit.

- Hi WilliamScheidecker, writing new articles is not an easy thing so well done for giving it a go. Basically Wikipedia uses a concept of "notability" (See WP:N) to determine which subjects should have an article. For yours it's difficult to judge in general as some military bands are very notable and other not so much. As I said on the article in general it requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). See what sources you can find and add them - and although the dream is people submit perfectly formatted articles they key requirement is basic good sources to show notability, along with other such requirements as not being promotional or copyrighted etc. See what you can find, good luck and keep safe KylieTastic (talk) 19:09, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Cleveland Steamers Slo-Pitch Team
Curious if you could provide some feedback, I am attempting to create my first contribution for Wikipedia. It is based around our recreational slo-pitch team so there would not be a lot of information as it relates to verifiable sources as it relates to written articles, blogs etc. What steps could I take to help improve my article to meet the criteria of Wikipedia? Any feedback is appreciated.
Jeff Nordie14 (talk) 18:39, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Nordie14 if by "written articles" you mean offline sources, then if reliable (WP:RS) they are still acceptable. If obviously easier to verify with online sources, but some subjects have lots of books and/or newspaper articles with no online version but are still valid. Blogs however generally are not considered reliable sources unless it's one of the rare cases of a well known and respected expert that chooses to write in blogs. In general any "user generated" content is not a reliable source, so blogs, wikis, social media, IMDB. I don't really know what a slow pitch team is, but since its part of the "Edmonton Rec League" and that does not have an article I would doubt it notable (See WP:N) - If its just a local team it well may be notable and important to the locals but not enough to the world to justify a Wikipedia Encyclopedic article. Basically all new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are "notable" (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). hope that helps, keep safe KylieTastic (talk) 18:55, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
Added few more links for notability
Hi Kylie, One of my articles was declined because it did not have significant coverage. I have added a few more external links, for example, the subject was featured on a show which airs on an app called 'Voot'. The subject also has been invited to many relevant events. The article is in my sandbox, and I have re-submitted it for approval. Best Bling.a.ding (talk) 08:48, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

- Hi Molanstonewell happy to help tidy things up, it makes it easier to accept ones they are happy it has the reliable sources to show notability and to verify information. I'm not sure it is has enough in-depth coverage to be accepted (I didn't read all the sources) but if it's featured in major national media soon you'll then be able to add those as sources.

The charity was featured in an exclusive 4 minute feature on main, national, BBC TV News at 18:00 & 22:00 and on the BBC News website the following day. There are now 35 citations added including BBC TV News, BBC online, Radio 4, The Mirror, Birmingham Mail, Global Radio, Classic FM, Smooth FM and various individual people & smaller organisations. The fact that the BBC thought the charity's work was worth of a longer form news feature in main national news ought to be enough to show that this charity is worthy of a Wiki entry? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Molanstonewell (talk • contribs) 17:14, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Molanstonewell, sounds good - and hopefully it's enough (I haven't checked) as it's good to get such subjects on (I'd rather a charity than another damn social media "influencer"). I've got less time for any serious Wiki stuff at the mo with real life stuff, just fit in the odd answer, quick edit while a test run etc. I see it's submitted so just the waiting game, the backlog has been rising again as were suddenly getting 100+ more than normal a day.

- Hi Arifiqbalpakistan I assume your talking about Draft:Panashe Mrewa (or Draft:Le hommie,) - they have not been deleted just declined, nor have they been deleted in the past. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS) - so far you have only shown the subject exists, not that they are "notable" - see WP:MUSICBIO for more information on notability for music subjects. Wikipedia is a collaborative project so no editors do not generally share email addresses to discus in private. Ragards KylieTastic (talk) 16:36, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
New article Hyperreal
Hi, I've just created a draft for a new article Draft:Hyperrreal.org, which I wondered whether you are were able to review and approve if it was felt to meet minimum standard to get it 'off the ground'. If so, I've also noticed I have one too many 'r's in the article title which I somehow missed, so if/when moving can that be fixed?! I've tried to source refs from the larger media orgs (Guardian, BBC, Telegraph) but struggled so far - typical I think of one of those websites that was particularly popular around mid-late 1990s and so online refs from those media orgs are hard to source online. Hoping releasing it to wikipedia will invite others to develop it, however. Certainly, the site still exists and is to this day held in high regard, is regularly referenced/talked about in the rave/dance music culture and instrumental in the early internet/web. Thanks for your time Altinternet (talk) 18:41, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Altinternet, I've moved to Draft:Hyperreal.org removing the extra r. I can't say I've heard of it before, but sad to say I was on the internet in the 1990s. Note that references don't have to be online, just preferred, but for some subjects they just don't exist so offline references are fine if you can find them. However to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it. All the best, keep safe KylieTastic (talk) 20:34, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

why do you think my article is a joke? how can i get it to post? i under stand if you dont respond within a few days but im new here and i joined solely to make this article that describes a new word. can you help me because i was really exited and after days of thinking and days of writing just to be declined is a little frustrating. BringTheFlavor (talk) 18:51, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi BringTheFlavor firstly let me say I do appreciate the thought behind Draft:Autobibliography but it's not a "serious" encyclopedic article. Articles generally require significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability. So an article which is just a thought experiment with no independent reliable sources is not going to be acceptable. No reviewer would accept an unsourced article, and if any did it would it would be flagged for deletion soon after being accepted to main space. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 21:38, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
yeah but it is self sourced and it is entirely new, is there any way that i could get it up?BringTheFlavor (talk) 18:40, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

- Hi 31.17.251.190 no Wikidata is not a reliable source as it's user generated content - so as has happened people just add wikidata then use there own edits as references. However if the wikidata has a source listed you can use that. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 08:57, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

theogenese changes
hi there, the changes were not a mistake, there was so much erroneous information in that last wiki that i took the time to fix things. I see that all that work is gone now? I deleted the discographies specifically because they are stated in the body of the pieces and it will add clarity. Also, the discographies are not central to Jaar's body of work, if you can see in the biography. Please let me know if it will be reverted back to the version I posted or not. Sorry for the inconvenience.
- Hi Theogenese you removed a lot of content not just the Discography (9,895 characters in total) - you also removed over half the references, you added inline External links to youtube videos and removed the image. I suggest you discuss your proposed changes (these ) on the article talk page, and at least explain your reasons for the removals if you do choose to remove again. Don;t put edit summaries like "added all links for various organizations and references" when you are actually removing both content and references. KylieTastic (talk) 12:14, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
how can I remove content that is erroneous and clean up the page so that the most important things are visible? should I never link to outside sites? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theogenese (talk • contribs) 12:29, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Theogenese firstly it's not clear what you thought was erroneous as your edit summaries and actions did not match. You removed sources including the NY Times leaving sections unsourced, including the first two sections of the biography. References should be added to external sites using <ref></ref> tag see Help:Referencing for beginners, but no should should not just link to things like YouTube videos in the text such as you did like 'Cenizas' - however to be fair some already existed in the article so I understand the confusion. Removing sections like the discography may be valid but should be done clearly stating why in the edit summary - not under a false one that said "clarity + more names of the artists on the label, etc.)". Actions like removing sources and the image should be explained. Also you changed "composer and recording artist" that seams to fit to "composer and researcher" with no source. You changed "Chilean-American" to Chilean which is not what source like this say and as he was born in New York City seams unlikely. KylieTastic (talk) 12:59, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
Could we at least keep the changes that I added, if you don't want to delete anything? comment added by Theogenese —Preceding undated comment added 12:51, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- If you want to add information that you have reliable sources for yes please do; if these is content you think is wrong and is not sourced then you can remove it; you can clean up the text to make more readable. However please do smaller edits to say a section at a time, with an edit summary that matches the actual edit. lastly as for "clean up the page so that the most important things are visible" that depends on what you think is important, please remember this is an Encyclopedia now a tool to just promote a subjects latest projects.

Where do I go to change the main image ? If its not possible its fine, just thought it would be good to have an updated pic !.....comment added by Theogenese —Preceding undated comment added 14:53, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Theogenese depends what you mean found... images must be uploaded WP:UPIMAGE but only if copyright/licence allows you can't just take any image from a website. If you found already uploaded (i.e. search "file:Nicolas Jaar") then yes those images can be used. The main image in the infobox is currently File:Nicolas Jaar live at Rex Club Paris.jpg you can see the file added to the infobox as "| image = Nicolas Jaar live at Rex Club Paris.jpg" and the caption is set on the next line "| caption = Nicolas Jaar live at Rex Club in Paris".

Draft:Chandler Taslitz
Hello, you rejected my submission and made a comment that IMDb is not a reliable source. I used multiple other sources as well. If I remove the content cited using IMDb will the submission be accepted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jareds19 (talk • contribs) 19:25, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Jareds19 no, use of non reliable sources should never be a negative, it's just a note as many thing IMDB is reliable, but its just user generated so often used for promotion. Other sources such as Instagram and YouTube are also generally not reliable sources, or not independent. Notability is about showing a subject has been "noticed" by the "world" not that the subject exists. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 19:35, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
The YouTube videos I used are from interviews with the subject. They are third party YouTube channels hosting the interviews. So the information is factual information about the subjects life, coming straight from the the subject themselves. To me that seems as reliable as information can get. Given that the interviews are on independent channels, I would say that is showing the subject has been noticed by the world. Please correct me if I am wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jareds19 (talk • contribs) 20:08, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Jareds19 although there is no "official" guideline for interviews see Wikipedia:Interviews. The "LAnded Late Night With Haley Ringo" one is a minor non-notable youtube channel, and although the other one is a larger channel it would not appear to be journalistic in nature. Interviews can be good sources for things that the subject has said, but in many cases they are promotional and as for these types the interviewer is unlikely to challenge anything that is claimed. For many outlets interviews are two way promotion, it helps the exposure of interviewer and interviewee. So although some interviews by respected journalistic channels should be note worthy, most do not help for Wikipedia notability. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:52, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Biography publishing

- Hi Melody23events unfortunately the AfC review process has a imbalance of reviewers to submitters. This year over 300 a day are being submitted, probably much more as deleted ones are not counted in the stats I can see. There are currently 1440 in the backlog. Ideally Wikipedia would have enough volunteer reviewers to keep the wait down to a few days, but the back log has been up to 5+ months, but luckily only 11 have been waiting more than 2 months. I have left a comment with a couple of notes on the article. You could also ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse for feedback, there you have a chance of lots of experienced editors seeing your questions.

As the article has the "speed delete" tag on it now, it's up to an admin to review and decide, and I am not an administrator. You can still improve the article to help avoid deletion and get it accepted - you need to looks for reliable sources that talk about him in depth.

Geographyinitiative (talk) 10:55, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Geographyinitiative the fundamental key is to show notability in this case Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). With 64 sources that's not a trivial task. I do have a tool that highlights known unreliable sources, and you have none apart from number 12 that warns it sometimes can be - however that also appears to be a dead link. Obviously it good to have sources that validate the statements but for instance you don't need 6 just to verify "Ilshat Hassan Kokbore" was a president, simple facts just need 1 good reference. Also to make the notability check easier for the reviewer you could add a comment to say which are the best notability sources with in-depth coverage. Note I haven't read the complete article or the sources as to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next.

- Hi Palli123 all new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). There are also other criteria that can help for music biographies - see Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles. Social media (facebook, intsagram) are not independent reliable sources, nor are links to works (such as spotify, youtube) - all they show is that the subject and works exist, not that the subject is "notable". The mbl.is is better, but mostly appears to be direct quotes so not very independent. Hope that help explain, and do look at Wikipedia:Notability (music) for a full answer.

However I would say that although "first=02 Sep 2019 11:45 PM MYT" is a mistake in usage the change from a raw url to a Cite web still saved key information such as the title still preserves information to help link rot. I wish it didn't try to guess the first/last for such articles though, it's rather presumptive on standardised website layouts, or parse the fields to see if they are dates (but maybe it does and failed a match as it included a time+time zone!).

There are probably many many millions of businesses in the world that are not notable. Keep safe KylieTastic (talk) 17:44, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello, KylieTastic!! Thanks for your reviewing my first article 'BoLCA+' and kind advice.
It really helped me to understand what is going on in the Wikipedia, especially about objective view could be always different from mine.
I will asking help at the Teahouse following your comment.

JetPunk
Excuse me, you declined my resubmission of Draft:JetPunk within one second of resubmitting the article. Your comment, "nothing changed - pointless re-submit" is a disgrace. I worked hard to get more independent resources and more data to update the article with, and you say NOTHING CHANGED?! I added two new independent resources, which is what you wanted for the article, and you don't even care. Please reconsider the submission of the JetPunk article.

Request on 09:21:44, 13 May 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Farmingsmalltownhero
Hello, I have added the new references for the article on Lance Molina. I'm sorry I'm new to this and if I need to put anything else in the issue please let me know.
I added additional sources regarding Lance Molina. I am sorry I am new to this editing process.
If anything else is needed please let me know and I will be happy to revise as necessary.
Kind regards, Mike Farmingsmalltownhero (talk) 09:28, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Farmingsmalltownhero thanks for adding more references, and don't worry about being new, most of us learnt the same way. Note that to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. However note the key here is to show the subject meets the criteria as set out on Wikipedia:Notability (people). All the bets, keep safe KylieTastic (talk) 09:44, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

If it's religious bias then you'll you should go have a chat with religious "activist" who all claim Wikipedia is biased against them.

- ThePoliticalAtheist, social-media is not a reliable encyclopedic source; the second ref is work by the subject not about the subject; The next two are not independent as is also clear from "I'm a very outspoken Atheist..."; appearing in YouTube is rarely notable. Note that YouTube/Social media "stars" with millions of subscribers/followers don't get articles unless they have outside sources. As I said on your talk page maybe ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse as getting different opinions is often good - you unlikely to find any Alex Jones or Ken Hams around here ;) KylieTastic (talk) 11:13, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

- ThePoliticalAtheist, Wikipedia "notabilty" is not about subjects existing or the works they do, or even the value to mankind, but more have others noticed and written about the subject in depth. We have some people/organisations that do really important work, things that could save millions of lives, but if no one writes, etc about them not "notable", however you get others that I would consider no value IMHO like the Kardashians that do. Not a perfect system, but it works to keep us more like an encyclopedic and less like social media. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:35, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi @KylieTastic:
Convenience link: File:Harvesting (cleaning) algae that has grown in an algae scrubber.jpg and File:Harvesting (cleaning) algae that have grown in an algae scrubber.jpg.
I was able to successfully request at Wikimedia Commons a rename for the file from "Harvesting (cleaning) algae that has grown in an algae scrubber.jpg" to "Harvesting (cleaning) algae that have grown in an algae scrubber.jpg". As you probably already saw, Mazbel has completed my request, and has also created a redirect. Hopefully that will end those good faith edits. :)

Hello my article is about my great grandfather he passed away in 2003 i dont have many reference links that can lead to him He was a big classical music teacher all i have of him are two wikipedia celebrities referencing him as their tutor how can i get approved — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oddmentiusmaximus (talk • contribs) 17:44, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Oddmentiusmaximus sorry about your loss. Firstly just top be clear sources don't have to be online if that's what you mean by "reference links", if he has been written about in books, newspapers, etc they can also be used. However sometimes subjects that would have notable in a general sense are not by the Wikipedia notability guidelines (WP:GNG, WP:BIO) just because sources do not exist, or can not be found. That's currently how Wikipedia works, and it works well in keeping it more like an Encyclopedia and less like social media or blogs. So add what references you can find, but if enough can't be found for the criteria of WP:BIO (or WP:GNG]]) then it wont be accepted. Hope that explains things, keep safe KylieTastic (talk) 18:08, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

- * Hi Oddmentiusmaximus if they mention just that he was there teacher then it's of interest but not in-depth enough to help notability. If they had a few sentences or more saying why he was important to them or there development then yes maybe. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:40, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Draft: Delta magazine
Hi,
I see my article was rejected due to:
"This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources."
What I wanted to do is create an English version of this site: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_(miesięcznik)
I basically translated the most relevant information (not everything though) and added a picture of the new edition of the magazine (the Polish version contains a picture of the order of the first issue from 1973).
Since we already have a Polish version I thought that it'd be nice to have an English one too :-)

Just a note about Draft:Crystallopathy (now at Crystallopathy). I saw you declined this a few weeks ago because it only had one source. I would have accepted it as it was; a review article in the New England Journal of Medicine, one of the most prominent medical journals, is more than enough to demonstrate notability for a medical topic IMO. Thanks for all your work at AfC. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 17:53, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi SpicyMilkBoy although out in the real-world I would generally agree and an article in such a journal is worth a thousand of say celebrity based sources, I try not to be a "academic snob" (as some would say) and trust that any such article should easily be able to find more sources. If none exist then maybe although it's interesting and factually correct it too new and possibly speculative. Without access to the journal to read it's hard to judge (also a single source is always a worry for copy vio issues). Also I'll be honest and had not twigged "N Engl J Med" - oops :) - but if you see such things it's always in my book to re-submit and accept, or go chat to the decliner. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:11, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks for explaining. I have access to the source and was able to check for verifiability and copyvio and it all looked good. :) SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 18:26, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Draft Robert K. Brinton (mountaineer)
Hi - Thanks for moving my draft article to the correct area. Apologies as I'm a first-time writer (and 71 years old) so not so adept with Wikipedia.
I do have a question. I saw that it was possible to expedite the review process by citing relevant Wiki projects. I tried doing this but apparently did it wrong as I received a message that the banners were in the wrong place. The two projects I found that were relevant were SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING and CLIMBING. How would I go about mentioning these two relevant projects in an effort to expedite the review? Many thanks. Donna Dmbrinton (talk) 03:16, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Dmbrinton happy to help and creating in your own sandbox and submitting is normal (that's why it had the template the help submit) - it's just once we start reviewing the draft namespace is preferred as bots other automatic processes can do more there than in a users own area. We all had to learn, and continue to learn, and we have editors of all ages. Nice try on the WikiProjects, the only thing you got wrong was they go on the talk page of articles (added now). It depends on the WikiProjects as to how active, or really if it has just one or more active editors looking for such flags. You could ask directly by posting of the Wikiprojects talk pages - i.e. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Climbing and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Skiing and Snowboarding - neither looks very active, but you can never tell how many stalkers are just watching. At least the AfC review max time has now shrunk to 5 weeks, a few months ago it was up to 5 months but we've had a few more volunteers recently. Lastly another place to ask for input as a new editor is the Wikipedia:Teahouse a place for new editors to ask for help from lots of experienced editors and admins.

Request on 14:38:48, 27 May 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Sohinimoitra84
Hello, Subarnalata was telecast back in 2010 on a Bengali Channel in Indian television. Those days, we did not have that much of digital coverage of regional TV. The cult following of the serial is obvious from the push it received on social media when in April 2020 channels decided to re-telecast old serials. The channel was almost forced into re-telecasting Subarnalata by audience pressure. I have added information from newspapers that appear about Subarnalata recently. Request you to kindly reconsider. Thank you.
Sohinimoitra84 (talk) 14:38, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Sohinimoitra84 unfortunately is sources don't exist then articles cannot be accepted, however you also said "digital coverage" so note that sources can be newspapers, magazines etc. and if it has a real cult following then maybe there are or will be new reliable source. If you have added more sources and can't find any more then resubmit and someone will review. All the best KylieTastic (talk)
Need help in finding out the status of the draft Afzal-ul Amin
Hi Kylie ! You have been of great help to me previously so I thought of asking you about this new article that I had made. It lacked citations initially and hence was moved to the draft space, I was notified about it. But now that I have added all the citations available on the internet. Idk how to move it to the article space or request a review of the draft because inserting the {{sust:submit}} tag displays "this is a misplaced article". Please help me out here 🙏 Riyyan Farooq (talk) 04:01, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

- Hi Riyyan Farooq it maybe that the google crawler just hasn't found it yet and it will just take time to first find it to add to it's index. However I have also heard that maybe articles that have not yet been patrolled by New pages patrollers are not indexed so that could be the reason. Either way it will show up in google at some point.

Question about a draft article
Hi! When creating a previous page, I made it in my Sandbox, which allowed me to submit it for review. After doing so, you moved it to a draft article, which was great, and it was later accepted as a new article. However, when I went back to my sandbox to make another draft of a new article, this option for review was no longer there. I moved my new draft to a draft page but I'm not sure how to request review of the page. Would you able to help me out? Thank you very much in advance!! Ipowlick (talk) 01:21, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Ipowlick I have submitted it for you - you can just add {{subst:submit|Ipowlick}} to submit, or to add a box with a button you could add {{draft}}. I have also added {{User sandbox}} to the sandbox so it's back to new sandbox state. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 08:22, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for your help! Also, could you tell me how to restore my sandbox? I submitted another article via my sandbox and now when I click on my sandbox it redirects to this new page. Sorry for the dumb questions.. I have a solid feel on editing and the platform generally, but this has given me trouble. Thank you very much in advance!! Ipowlick (talk) 21:33, 31 May 2020 (UTC) Also, I have an unrelated question.. I have been updating articles in my area of interest (horses, riders, etc.) in addition to making new ones. How are important are article ratings? Such as if I update a stub, up to at least a start-class article, is it important that the article actually receives the new rating? If so, how do I go about requesting a review? Thank you again, you have been most helpful!! Ipowlick (talk) 22:08, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Ipowlick, when you click on a page that redirects under the title you should see "(Redirected from ......)" that allows you to go back and then edit the original page. I see you have found a way and removed the redirect so probably already worked it out. There are very few "dumb questions" most are just learning experiences, and I'm sure that one has confused all of us when it first happens. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 21:40, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi again! I submitted another draft via my sandbox and restored my sandbox, however I can't seem to unlink the talk pages, as my sandbox talk page automatically redirects to the draft's talk page. I just can't figure out how to unlink them... Also, could you tell me how to put up the draft submission box in the sandbox? Given that this is a recurring issue for me, is there a way to make new articles without using the sandbox, while still being able to submit them for review? Thank you so much for answering my questions, i really appreciate it!! Ipowlick (talk) 21:54, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Ipowlick, you had already removed the redirect successfully so should have just been able to edit your sandbox fine. I have added back the {{User sandbox}} to make submission easier. Yes you can create new articles not in your sandbox, you could for instance create User:Ipowlick/My New Article or Draft:My New Article or you could start from Wikipedia:Article_wizard. Hope that helps, but it's late I'm a tad drunk and very tired just trying to answer questions quickly so feel free to ask any follow-ups. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 23:05, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
Source question
I'm trying to enter the following References into the Edit Page for subject Shane Stay. Can you advise on how to proceed?
"{{Db-g7}}"
— Preceding unsigned comment added by Six free (talk • contribs)
- Hi Six free first {{Db-g7}} is for asking for a page you created to be deleted so not sure why that's here! Also I see that Draft:Shane Stay has both of those references, although one is just an external link so I'm not sure what your asking. So all I can suggest is looking at Help:Referencing for beginners. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:50, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
Can you give this draft article another look? --RockerballAustralia (talk) 04:18, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi RockerballAustralia well I can see you've added sources that are not just facebook and youtube and look to be from reliable sources (but I haven't read the content), and you have re-submitted so it's waiting for review. To be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. It is marked for Wikipedia:WikiProject Rugby union so it's more likely a rugby fan will find and review/improve. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:54, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

When a discussion at idea lab before getting to prospal has been satisfied or requested before how do I handle that. And how will you know are proposed idea has been accepted at proposals Tbiw (talk) 20:25, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) Tbiw, regarding your many proposals at the Idea Lab, I very strongly advise you not to try to move them to the proposals board. The Idea Lab page is intended for out-of-the-box thinking, and we make allowances for eccentric ideas there. If you were to present formal Requests for Commont for any of the ideas you've thus far suggested (giving the WMF back direct control of outreach, making it mandatory for all articles to have images, an annual Wikipedia Holiday, locking down every historical article, you'd very quickly exhaust community patience. We do appreciate your being here, but you need to understand that Wikipedia is a complex product developed over 20 years, and realistically you need to understand how it currently works before you'll be in a position to start suggesting major changes. ‑ Iridescent 20:49, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Interoceptive bias
Hi KylieTastic. I am contacting you because you accepted the article Interoceptive bias at AfC. Per the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sheldonium, the creator of this article, Vineword (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki), has been blocked as a sockpuppet of a blocked editor. Although the article may at first glance appear to be a legitimate article with reliable sources, I took a closer look at the sources, and it does not appear that the specific phrase "interoceptive bias" appears in any of them. It appears instead that this user Google searched "interoceptive bias" and pasted in some of the first results they found, without checking for their relevance to the topic.
I think the topic of the article may well be a real topic; however, given the creator's history of disruptive editing and the dubious nature of the referencing, I am quite skeptical about the veracity of this article, and if it is a real topic, I would strongly prefer it be written by someone else. With this in mind, would you mind if I speedily deleted the article under WP:CSD#G5? I think it meets the criterion as "created by a blocked user in violation of their block, with no substantial edits from other users", but I wanted to check with you as a courtesy. Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 21:27, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Mz7, hey thanks for the heads up - I'm fine with you doing that and trust your judgement. Thanks for the courtesy. Go for it KylieTastic (talk) 22:01, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Draft: Georges Brausch
Hello KylieTastic,
I am currently trying to publish an article on Georges Brausch, Belgian scholar and colonial administrator.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Georges_Brausch
I have seen that you have previously reviewed my article yesterday and suggested I add more references. I have done so now but I am unsure whether the article is now good to go. I am really new as a Wikipedia editor so this is all really unfamiliar territory for me at the moment. I would appreciate it if took a second look to judge whether the submission is now appropriate or if there are any further changes I need to make in order for it to meet publishing standards. I apologise if I am posting this comment in the wrong section. Thank you for your guidance.
Best, Luigi Muci (talk) 04:46, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Luigi Muci yes it does look I first reviewed it but then stupidly edited the old version when bolding the subjects name in the lead, hence why you got re-reviewed. Sorry about that, I've removed the duplicate decline from your talk page as it has not been declined twice. When you first submitted you only had a single source and in general articles require significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability. You appear to have addressed that issue, and I have just done some minor tidy up. With a glance it look good but to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. Note it would be judged on the criteria as set out in Wikipedia:Notability (academics) so the question would be which criteria from WP:NACADEMIC do you think they meet? Also I see you have also asked DGG and I know they review a lot of academics so they will probably be a better judge. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:18, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi KylieTastic,
That's fully understandable, thanks for the really useful feedback and for explaining how this reviewing system works. I'll definitely take a second look to see if it meets all the eligibility requirements.

Questions about my submission
Hello KylieTastic (I like the name!), As you may have figured, I am new to publishing on Wikipedia. I understand that you need references to know that my submission is not a joke. For publications however, I linked an NIH PubMed list, which is pretty authoritative (actually, i my field, the most authoritative) but you asked for "edit sources". Are websites not good and you want a reference for each of my papers (150)? My lab website is here:http://labs.icahn.mssm.edu/sorianolab/
Thank you for your guidance...
Philippe — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philippesoriano (talk • contribs) 18:21, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Philippesoriano there are three issues here. Firstly see WP:AUTOBIO as writing about yourself (that your username suggests) is strongly discouraged due to WP:COI problems. Secondly it would appear that this article would be checked against the criteria from Wikipedia:Notability (academics) that the single reference given may show is met - I'm not sure. The third issue is content need to be referenced, the reference just appears to be a list of publications, and does not verify (see WP:V) the rest of the content. So yes the link is fine for showing all the publications, but you should also add a short list of any key publications, but no not all 150. Then the key thing is sources for the rest of the content - you know you are you, and what you say is correct - but from a readers point of view its all unverifiable content from an unknown source. Hope that helps explain things. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:42, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Frankly I hate seeing the growing backlog as I always see it as a growing failure for good intentioned submitters, but there are only so many days in a row you can spend hours of your free time trying to prop up a failing system.

Issues
Hi KylieTastic. I had a few questions.
1) Rob Roy Rawlings, are we confident he was a state senator and then re-elected to a different district after redistricting? Something gave me pause about it and I can't see much of the cite used for his first term in office. For some reason I thought he might have been in the state house and not the senate at first?
2) Any chance you can properly format the cite for the composite photo of the "Radicals"? I'd like to use it in several of their articles and I am not great at ref formatting. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/collection/search?edan_q=*:*&edan_fq[]=p.edanmdm.indexedstructured.name:%22Nash,+William+Beverly%22&edan_local=1&op=Search|title=Radical Members of the South Carolina Legislature|website=nmaahc.si.edu}}</ref>
I'm also not totally confident on how to describe the photo montage. There was a source that says it was used to besmirch them as part of efforts to restrict African American voting at the end or after Reconstruction but the source wasn't a great one. Not sure of who took the original photos or for what purpose but that same source did I.D. someone. I will have to investigate a bit.
The other issue I had with it is that it's identified where we cite it from as from 1868 but it appeared to me it had officials from 1868 and 1870? I could be wrong. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:18, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi FloridaArmy if the source for Rob Roy Rawlings pre redistricting was a book I would be more concerned, but I would not expect a local paper to get that wrong. You said you can't see much of the cite, do you not have newspaperarchive.com access? For the work you do it would be very valuable... and when I got around to applying it was quick and easy (see wikipedialibrary if you weren't aware we could get free access). Also the new sources added show the same page 22. (I had searched for such records, but I guess you just have to no where to look, maybe Vycl1994 can help with others) so the additions show he was senator earlier from at least 1958.
- As for the photo ref how I would format it something like:
- <ref>{{cite web |title=Radical Members of the South Carolina Legislature |url=https://nmaahc.si.edu/object/nmaahc_2008.9.29 |website=National Museum of African American History and Culture |accessdate=8 June 2020 |language=en |format=photograph and description |date=1868 |others=Collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture}}</ref>[1]

- I agree trying to track down the original author and purpose of the image is not an easy thing (maybe impossible), so I guess unless you can track down a good source it's maybe best to just describe it in a functional 'encyclopedic ' way. i.e. basically the first part of the text below the image would do (up to the first comma). The rest of the description sounds most likely to have been to besmirch, but it is also possible (but less plausible) that they were more anti tax. As for the dates, I don't know enough to judge, and without good reason I would personally trust the Smithsonian archivists date. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:47, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

I am trying to create an entry on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Chisel%2B(programming%2Blanguage) and you requested "Requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability". What is your number on multiple sources? I cited one published paper and one web site, the official web site of Chisel.
I would be happy to continue and improve the article. However, only if this work is not wasted by not being accepted.
Cheers Schoeberl (talk) 13:48, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Schoeberl unfortunately there is no magic number of sources but usually at least 3. The key to Wikipedia notability guidelines is for hem to be both independent (WP:INDY) and reliable sources (WP:RS). Primary sources can be used for facts, but not notability. There are many new programming languages and frameworks etc, so having independent sources shows 'others' not directly linked to the subject have noticed. As the paper was from June 2012 I would have thought if it was being used by people it would have been written about, but have a look around and see what you can find and add. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:02, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi KylieTastic, thank you for your quick response and help how to fix the entry. I've added more third-party sources. Maybe you can check is this is the right direction. Cheers, Schoeberl (talk) 15:47, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Schoeberl glad to see you found some sources, I'm snowed under we real-life issues at the moment so trying not to be involved with Wiki stuff other than minimal effort edits. You could either use the "ask us a question" link on the decline notice to ask for input from the AfC help desk, or the Wikipedia:Teahouse is always there to help new editors, or you could just re-submit and one of the other reviewers will see it. Thought I'd give you a quick answer so you can move on without waiting. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 18:22, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

References for a Corporate Page
Hi Kylie, Thanks for the feedback on the LFL Group article. There was a concern about the lack of references on the subject and I'm trying to determine what types of references would be required to legitimize the article. As a quick background, LFL Group is the parent company of two better known Canadian furniture retailers; Leon's and The Brick, both of which have Wikipedia articles of their own. In 2013, after an acquisition, the LFL Group was formed...similar to how Alphabet became the parent company of Google. The LFL Group is traded on the TSX under symbol 'LNF', does over $2.2 Billion in annual revenue, and employs over 8,000 people in Canada. The Investor's Relations site can be found at lflgroup.ca and at the bottom of our retail brands' sites at leons.ca and thebrick.com. All of LFL Group's corporate documents can be found on Sedar. There are other references online, such as a press release touting [5] record earnings in 2019. Should I be including as many links and references in the proposed article as I can to help with the approval proccess? Thanks again for volunteering your time to Wikipedia. Lewis — Preceding unsigned comment added by LewisLeon (talk • contribs) 14:05, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi LewisLeon all new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). In this case WP:ORG is the guideline we would use. Notability is not inherited, so a group that has no independent sources would still not be notable even if it was the parent of the multiple very notable companies. Alphabet Inc. obviously caused a lot of press so became instantly independently notable. Also things such as being stock market listed, of the size of revenues, number of employees does not count - some very small companies get lots of interest, some very big almost none. Some groups do things that cause interest to the world, some do little but do what a group does and the child companies are the ones people talk about. Press releases and corporate docs are not independent so also don't count. We are usually looking for 3 good references that have non trivial coverage, and are independent reliable sources. Adding more will help, but adding lots that don't add detail wont help, so if an article is about one of the owned companies and just mentions is passing the group it's not going to help. Hope that help explain things a bit. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:14, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
LewisLeon--there's another possible approach, which is merging the three articles under the name of the owningentitity,and making redirects from the brand names. I've sometimes used this method. DGG ( talk ) 20:52, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

In this case Wikipedia:Notability (people). I don't think anyone would take the fact that Pewdiepie had used him as a subject for a video as a notable reliable source. If sources exist then add them, if not then maybe they are just famous to a little part of the internet but not enough for an Encyclopedia. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:47, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, this is regarding 'Dongalaku Donga' page. Unfortunately, for Telugu movies, particularly old ones, there aren't many references other than IMDB and You Tube. I did provide those as references. Not sure why this page isn't being approved. What else I need to do? I've seen many pages on Telugu movies, which are published with 'citations needed', why not the same rule apply for this page?

Problems
- There are some new tools to make it easier for newcomers to start editing. They are available on some wikis. These wikis had a problem with the visual editor for a short period of time last week. This was because of a bug in the new tools. It was soon fixed. [10]
- Some user scripts and gadgets stopped working because of a change to CSS selectors.
.vectorTabs
should be replaced with.vector-menu-tabs
to fix this. [11]
Changes later this week
- The developers are working on a new interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This will be released on 24 June. You can give feedback. [12]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 June. It will be on all wikis from 25 June (calendar).
Future changes
- A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. It will not work after 13 July. Wikis should use TemplateStyles instead. 91 wikis still need to fix this. You can read more and see if your wiki is affected. [13]

Notable?
Today I created an entry for someone who is a notable figure in Britain but unfortunately the internet hasn't caught up on her achievements so references are limited and this individual died in the 1960s when very little history of Black history in Britain was being documented. My entry was rejected the first time round, I've made significant improvements which I've added to the page - I would like to submit again but do not want it deleted in case not sufficient https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Pearl_Prescod — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mxthercxuntry (talk • contribs) 23:25, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Mxthercxuntry no need to worry about deletion from draft while making effort to address issues. In fact things are rarely deleted from draft as this step by step improvement is what it is for. Main reasons for draft deletion are major copyright violations, abusing content, pure advertising, repeated submission with no improvements, not being edited for over 6 months. You've addressed the issue and added more sources. However I did note that the DOD is not in the source given and this suggests she was working Sept 1966! So please check that the facts are backed by the sources and IMDB is not a reliable source, and the resubmit. Also note you said "the internet hasn't caught up" - sources do not need to be online. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:50, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Jobism
Re. Jobism. I accept your decision on this. But, just to say, Axiomathes (the “Where Science Meets Philosophy” journal published by Springer Nature) requested I carry out a couple of peer reviews for them, and in those reviews I talk about Jobism extensively. Also my own paper (called ‘Is it time for us to accept Einstein was wrong about time being relative?’) in which I introduce Jobism has been peer reviewed by Axiomathes. However, that’s as far as I’ve got at the moment. I’m currently waiting on a decision by Axiomathes as to whether or not they’re willing to publish my ‘Is it time for us to accept Einstein was wrong about time being relative?’ paper in Axiomathes. JohnBottomley6 (talk) 07:41, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi JohnBottomley6, Wikipedia is for publishing existing accepted knowledge not for promoting new ideas. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Clearly yours has no independent sources, and as your bio states "... I'm ... the only Jobist in the world" clearly there are not any others. Also claims such as "...fact that time is not relative" would need multiple exceptional sources due to the huge amount of science that says completely the opposite. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:21, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi KylieTastic, as I say I accept your decision on this. But again, just to say, although a huge amount of science assumes time is relative (depending on your frame of reference), I think it’s actually a demonstrable fact that time is not relative (and only a fact that the system of measurement of time is relative, which isn’t the same thing at all). And that’s what I explain in detail in my ‘Is it time for us to accept Einstein was wrong about time being relative?’ paper. And I think that, having read my ‘Is it time for us to accept Einstein was wrong about time being relative?’ paper, Axiomathes’ main peer reviewer now agrees with me on that particular point at least. But, as I say, I’m currently waiting on a decision by Axiomathes as to whether or not they’re willing to publish my ‘Is it time for us to accept Einstein was wrong about time being relative?’ paper in Axiomathes. I take your point though about the need for multiple exceptional sources. However, as you no doubt know, journals typically insist the papers you submit to them you do so on an exclusive basis, so I’m trying not to overdo the number of journals I’m submitting my ‘Is it time for us to accept Einstein was wrong about time being relative?’ paper to.

Do not show significant coverage
Hi Kylie
I didn't found the place where comes to this subject, or maybe I'm just not to smart for that hehehe:)
I got this message that you verify by my post "Bryan LeRoy : ( do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject )
For some stuff I'm really not the smartest, I do not wanna take you time, but if you could help me to understand a little more what is wrong, I would lovely appreciate it.
Thank you very much, and have a great Evening :)

- Hi Moodnxgt all new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). In your case Wikipedia:Notability (people) is the version of the guidelines that most applies. You have three sources, the first if the subjects website so not independent. The other two are "significant coverage" however neither appear to be well know sources, neither say anything about who they are, and one is an interview so is not deemed independent. Also there appears to be a lot of unsourced content. So more is needed to show they are notable. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:06, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing my Preston Tower Primary School submission, I understand that this article is not fitting for Wikipedia!
I think you do a amazing job to keep the site going! thanks, WikiEditBoy2
- Hi WikiEditBoy2 thanks. A school is a frequent first article but unfortunately they are deemed not notable just for existing so need significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability. In general most primary, secondary and middle schools get merged, redirected or deleted if they make it to the main article space. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 12:49, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Review of Tarakote state article
Hi Kylie Tastic ! Could you please review this article for me ? Someone is adding tags and trying to remove the page. :( Riyyan Farooq (talk) 13:26, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Riyyan Farooq Spbal has added some tags but I see no attempt to remove the page. You should discuss with them and ask them to clarify. They have taged as having unrelaibel sources, but none are flagged up on WP:RSPSOURCES so ask which ones and why; For circular reference issue I assume they mean the first one which does clearly state its from List of rulers of Odisha so yes cannot be used as a source, you should use the sources from that article directly (assuming it has them for the content in question). For the first tag ask them to specify, or to mark more directly in the article so you can address any concerns. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 13:41, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Alfa Theatre, Tel Aviv
I am trying to understand what kind of extra "sources" you required as to move my article on Alfa Theatre to draftspace. The theatre exists and operate for years, has reviews and is recognized by the Israeli Ministry of Culture and Sport and the Municipality of Tel Aviv. Do you kindly care to tell me what "reliable sources" do you need to approve the article? Do you need a verification statement from the official Board of the Theatre? The Israeli Ministry of Culture and Sport or the Municipality of Tel Aviv, both of which recognize and support the Alfa Theatre? The police? If you have any specific questions regarding the article, I will be more than happy to provide answers; but I have contributed many entries to Wikipedia in the past, and I must admit I never seen such a general, unexplained requirement, so I will be grateful if you care to enlighten me. Sincerely, Dr Sarah Fine, New York and Tel Aviv. Sfine8 (talk) 13:42, 4 July 2020 (UTC)sfine8
And by the way, there is a published article on Alfa Theatre on the Hebrew Wikipedia, as there is a mention of Alfa theatre on the long existing entry on the English Wikipedia on the Academy of Performing Arts, Tel Aviv. Aren't those qualified as "reliable sources? 13:42, 4 July 2020 (UTC)sfine8
- Hi Sfine8 all new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Draft:Alfa Theatre has no reliable sources just some links to YouTube videos. If it has reviews etc as you say then you need to add those sources. Sources are not to show some thing exists, but that it is notable. If you have been contributing and have not "seen such a general, unexplained requirement" see Wikipedia:Five pillars. Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Verifiability are key to all articles. Having an article on a different language Wikipedia is of no relevance as all Wikipedias have their own guidelines. Wikis including Wikipedia and other user generated content are not reliable sources. As for Academy of Performing Arts, Tel Aviv that is also not sourced, and could be moved to draft or nominated for deletion but for now I have just tagged to see if anyone improves. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 14:27, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, I have added an article on Alfa Theatre, Tel Aviv from a very significant and respectable international journal, Palestine-Israel Journal (ISSN 0793-1395), which as you will see qualifies to all the criteria mentioned in the sources you have referred me to.Sfine8 (talk) 15:29, 14 July 2020 (UTC) Dr Sarah Fine
Hi

Yes you could be using the same IP such as if you edit from a shared internet connection such as a private house, school, business, library etc. Otherwise it could be that the IP address was previously assigned to another user as happens with some ISPs or when editing on a mobile device.

Pure Salt Interiors - Article Declined Question
Hello,
I recently submitted an article for review for Pure Salt Interiors and it was declined for the reasoning "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources...that is they do not show significant coverage"
Could you explain a little further on articles I should reference? I believe the ones previously referenced are reliable & explain history / details on the brand further than the wikipedia article submitted.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Pure_Salt_Interiors
Thanks!
- Hi Mackenzie Skelton all new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). At the moment you have only one "independent" source (mydomaine) that still appear somewhat promotional. Also most of the content is still direct from the company (see WP:PRIMARY). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a place to promote subjects which at the moment is what the article appears to be. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:16, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
artworks
You seem to have declined Crosses (Andy Warhol) as non-notable ; in general every major artwork by a famaous artist is considered notable . DGG ( talk ) 00:20, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- DGG I'm not aware of that notability guideline - can you give me a link? As a simple engineer I have no idea if that is a "major artwork by a famaous artist" or not, or to be clear I knew Warhol is famous but not that piece. I would expect any major piece to easily have many reliable sources that could be used to show it is a "major artwork by a famaous artist" and thus notable. When I reviewed the submission it had a single source of what looked like a rather non-notable book I felt did not indicate any importance. Yes if someone has knowledge of an area they can catch poorly referenced submissions, but for the others surely we go on the sources, as would the readers of such articles, and those were not provided. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:13, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- I don't know if it's ever been written down as a guideline, but I think practice at AfD has almost uniformly supported it. and I can probably find them with enough work..I'll take a look, but it will take a while.. We do the same for writers and musicians, if there's enough material. fIf an artwork is in a museum there's almost certain to be further documentation. In borderline cases at AfC, I think the best practice is to accept and let afd decide. DGG ( talk ) 02:35, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
Cortland NY Page
Good Day,
I made an entry about a local person from Cortland winning a Gamma Sigma Recitation Award back in 1910. I am an alumni of Gamma Sigma and found, then purchased the award pin. I thought it was a note that would have been of interest to a local citizen of Cortland, so I posted it.
Gammasigma2020 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gammasigma2020 (talk • contribs) 17:00, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Gammasigma2020, information on Wikipedia needs to be sourced, also encyclopedic. Your name clearly indicates a link to "Gamma Sigma Fraternity" and that's what you were adding (without sources) so see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. As such it would also appear to be more about promotion of the fraternity than key information, in the case of your edit to Cortland, New York it is clearly an attempt to highlight/promote the fraternity rather than indicate the most important description of a person.

Pictures from Wiki article in another language
If there is a Wiki article in another language for the same topic (Portuguese but not English) and that article has images listed as Public domain, do you simply not cite the Portuguese article and use the images as public domain? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sgcli (talk • contribs) 22:45, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Sgcli if another language Wikipedia has local images then they cannot be used here directly, but if it uses images from commons as your active Draft:Hilário de Gouvêa does then yes they can be used here directly. If there are other images currently just local to say Portuguese Wikipedia then if they are public domain they can just be transferred to commons and used on any language see Wikipedia:Moving files to Commons for more info. If they are not public domain or have a suitable 'free' licence then sometimes they can be uploaded here as WP:FAIRUSE images. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:45, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
TCN Coalition
Hello KylieTastic, the draft article you initially rejected on June 13 has been significantly improved and resubmitted about 3-4 weeks ago now. Due to the timeliness of the space, do you see any chance to re-review? Thanks! Andreas — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:C23:643E:3800:D8A2:469B:8A31:85F0 (talk) 13:05, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi 2A01:C23:643E:3800:D8A2:469B:8A31:85F0 I've taken a step back from doing much AfC reviewing, and unfortunately so has another couple of big reviewers so the backlog has increased again from up to 4 weeks up to 8 weeks now. I suggest you either ask the AfC help desk the easiest way is to use the "ask us a question" link on the old decline note already on Draft:TCN Coalition or ask the Wikipedia:Teahouse where lots of active editors will see questions asked.

Naveenlambadesi (talk) 11:29, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Naveenlambadesi all new articles on Wikipedia have to show they are notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS).

Draft: Kevin Behr
Hello, I had seen u have check the site: Kevin Behr. I seen there is a draft about myself. Can you tell me, how is the status with this site and what we here had todo? Thank you! --KevinBehr (talk) 16:15, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi KevinBehr, Draft:Kevin Behr is still waiting to be reviewed, unfortunately there is a large backlog so things take far too long, but as everything on Wikipeida it relies on volunteers.

Help Required for improving/publishing a wiki page.
Hello, Kylie Tastic, I have created a wikipedia draft and submitted it. Would you please read it and suggest me how can I improve it and increase its chance to get published. Also, Can you give me a rough idea how many days it would take to get a decision from the review (I know that there is no specific order but just a general idea about the timespan if you could enlighten me with)? Thanks --Kabid1026 (talk) 06:50, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
Here is the draft link https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Malik_Khurram_Shahzad Kabid1026 (talk) 07:07, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
UPD1: Hello, Kylie. Can you help me in this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kabid1026 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Kabid1026 I'm at work so don't have much time, and also to be fair to all submitters I don't review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. Plus I'm not doing as much reviewing at the moment, and I tend to avoid WP:BLPs so not the best to ask. However I can make a couple of quick comments: as they help a political position that probably makes them notable per WP:NPOL, however some of the claims do need sources which is even more important for a WP:BIO - for instance there are 3 sections with no sources, and no source for what they are doing now. Also the "See also" section should not list very general links to the subject such as Pakistan, keep it to more direct items such as Government of Pakistan. Hope that helps KylieTastic (talk) 15:58, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
Ralf Ziervogel page
Hey
you have declined an artist page for German artist Ralf Ziervogel for lack of independent references - as I have provided quite a few sources of relevant curators/ publications, I wonder what else you would need. This artist has had multiple museum exhibitions in both Germany and USA, so would think topic is both notable and well covered. Any pointers on what to improve would be much appreciated. Thanks
- Hi, I assume your talking about Draft:Ralf Ziervogel - when I declined the article looked like this. Almost all the content and sources where added afterwards. However the article was not resubmitted for review - the blue "Resubmit" button on the decline note, and then the blue "Public changes" button at the bottom. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:04, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
Dear Kyle,
thank you for your advice and help, I just followed your guideline and did what you wrote, can you please check it again? Thank you.
- Hi, yes I can confirm it's submitted to review now, but there is a large backlog so it may take some while. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 08:31, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
Polycarpe Joaillier - rejected?
Hi Kylie The article was rejected mentioning "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources.". What are the reliable sources? There are almost no info on the web about this person and they are wrong. He is my grand grand father and I have the right infos. I would be pleased to understand the real/exact reason. Thanks and regards Fabrizio — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fabetto (talk • contribs) 15:47, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Fabetto you can look at Wikipedia:Reliable sources for a definition, and note that sources do not need to be online, they can also be books, newspapers, etc. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) in this case see Wikipedia:Notability (people), which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS) that are verifiable (see WP:V). As they are your grandfather there is also the issue of Wikipedia:Conflict of interest as most people with one can not write with a total Wikipedia:Neutral point of view (another key principle here). Reinquiring verifiable reliable sources does mean that some worthy subjects cannot get articles, but without those standards it would just be like blog, websites and social media with lots of claims of truth with no evidence. I hope you can find more sources to back up your article. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 17:51, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi Kylie Thank you for the explanations. There is no significant info about this person so I have doubt about wiki's "reliable sources". In any case, my website www.sebahjoaillier.com contains information only basis documents from consulates, churches, cemeteries, family, etc. and I don't write anything without any prove. This website and my future book may one day be few of wiki's "reliable sources", we will see. Until then, I shall consider any wiki info with question marks because of the verification way. Kind regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fabetto (talk • contribs) 19:14, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Dear Kylie I hope this not find you well. I wonder f yo can help. I saw that you were one of the people contributed to my page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kameel_Ahmady. I would like some one to post my photo on my bio ( http://kameelahmady.com/new/en/kameel-ahmady-15/ ) which i know understand it can not be done by myself. Can you kindly post it for me? Best Kameel — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kameel14 (talk • contribs) 09:05, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Kameel14 if Kameel Ahmady is yourself then you must review the guideline Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. As for an image those cannot be used as they have been published without a relevant suitable 'free' licence in fact the opposite "All photos and text Copyright © Kameel Ahmady. All rights reserved Reproduction or use by any means". However you can upload a new image to our sister site Wikimedia Commons that can be used here, or you can use an already published photograph (as I see you have already done) if the copyright owner provide the relevant open permission see c:COM:OTRS/CONSENT for the consent generator. You may think those images are your to donate but they have been flagged as copyright violations as the meta data attached indicates that "Milad Beheshti" owns the copyright. I'm not an expert on copyright or very active on commons so if you have questions try c:Commons:Village pump/Copyright. Hope that helps, Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:22, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
Thanks a lot Kylie I am new to all this :-). I will post a selfie which I think it will be OK.

- I saw you uploaded a selfie so I added to Kameel Ahmady for you. I'm not doing as much Wiki editing at the moment due to real life demands, and I have little interest in most WP:BLP articles apart from anti-vandalism like the previous edit I made to the article. So I would suggest asking for help from others such as the Wikipedia:Teahouse, or the editor who tagged the article and left a note on the article talk page Talk:Kameel Ahmady.

Template:Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway
Roughton Road station is correctly shown on the template on the left hand line as an open station with the open station icon, but on the right hand line, there appears to show a closed Roughton Road station with a closed station icon. I ask if that is correct, as I cannot seem to trace a previous station there prior to British Rail opening their station. If my assumption on that matter is correct, the closed station icon on the right hand line against Roughton Road needs removing from the line template.

Thank you for your advice and help to write my first article.

Thank you. --Nieto Ivan Gabriel (talk) 14:40, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Nieto Ivan Gabriel thanks for adding the extra information and sources. However to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. You can either submit or use one of the two options in the decline notice for "If you need extra help..." or just resubmit and one of the active reviewers will get to it. One note it that it could seem rather non-neutral as it's written as all positive but I note that all the fundraisers appear to have a lot of complaints (but it's not easy to tell if this is a significant number of backers or not). Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:22, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
From what I saw there are just a few fundraisers that complained. Thank you very much for your suggestions. I will read the articles you sent me.--Nieto Ivan Gabriel (talk) 21:43, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks :)
Sherlock2020 (talk) 15:31, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Sherlock2020 is not about being "factual and correct" Wikipedia works based on a concept of notability. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). So social media accounts, and the subjects own content have no bearing on notability as not independent. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 15:42, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Ok, I will add more notable references, would that suffice then? Sherlock2020 (talk) 16:03, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Sherlock2020 yes the key to getting an article accepted is to show notability with content backed by multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). After that it's just having additional content backed by sources. So look for things like articles written about them (rather than by them). Then once you've done that just resubmit. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 16:13, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Why you not reviewing my draft?
Draft: Lockdown Ki Love Story is reviewed by you in previous times. Now why you are not reviewing? I add reliable sources to it,you can check also. Please review it and transfer to main space ASAP. Unknownnreasonn (talk) 10:09, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Unknownnreasonn there are currently 1,825 pending submissions submissions waiting for a review, some have been waiting up to 2 months (see Category:AfC pending submissions by age). Reviews are done by volunteers and unfortunately there are always more submitters than volunteers. Some of the key reviewers who used to review 100+ a day are not currently active. I have not been reviewing much myself due to real life issues. It is a regrettable problem that I wish there was a solution for, but unless more experienced editors take part, the unacceptably long waits will continue. To be fair to all submitters I don't review/re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next.

Note that all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Currently all the sources appear to be interviews so not independent, although some interview sources are OK as references most are not. What you need to do is find other sources that talk about the subject and there work. Hope that helps explain things a bit.

Thanks for replying. Like I say, Wikipedia isn't something that comes naturally to me. Absolutely there are articles, but he's also available on DVD, Bluray, streaming and actually the radio. I just don't know how else to prove that he should be here, because I don't have the skills to.

- Hi Makeajesting notability is not about having done things (such as "DVD, Bluray, streaming and actually the radio") but having been "noted" for it by others independent. What you have done so far shows you have the basic editing skills to just add basic references (i.e. <ref>http://....source...</ref> so you just need to add any if they exist. If independent reliable sources don't exist then they will no qualify for a Wikipedia article. It is not a subject I know or am interested in and there are 3500+ articles waiting for review, plus a dozen I am working on myself. Search around for any articles, reviews about them and add them as references, and as I said ask at Wikipedia:Teahouse to ask multiple editors who are looking to help.

Hi KylieTastic, I wanted to let you know that recently you declined this draft twice due to non-reliable sources. But it has been moved to mainspace. No changes were made before moving it to mainspace. How can this be acceptable? The draft which doesn't have reliable sources having no significant coverage is now an article. Thank you. Tears. Empire AS Talk! 07:02, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Empire AS well to be fair there are more sources than when I rejected - but yes I would still class it as not notable - maybe just WP:TOOSOON. You could WP:AFD it for a full consensus discussion, or ask the reviewer who accepted why they believe it is notable, or you could bring the issue up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation too question if it was a good review. The reviewer is rather new, only 3.3K edits and an AFC reviewer from yesterday so some friendly feedback may be an appropriate start. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:58, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Page draft misname "Hank Wist" should be "Hank Wiest"
Greetings,
I recently embarked on creating a page for a very good friend of mine, Hank Wiest. Although he hasn't accomplished a life-time of achievements, he is a very bright individual with a unique personality who is known around our hometown, Erie, Pennsylvania.
Is there a chance I can get the title for this draft corrected to be "Hank Wiest" and to also get confirmation of the sources I've listed for him. I can try to find more if needed, but figured local news would be enough to get started.
Thanks, -Justin — Preceding unsigned comment added by JJBruneau (talk • contribs) 01:28, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS).

Can you tell me how I can improve the references in my article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Gymnasium_Post#Gymnasium_Post)?

Request on 14:51:05, 30 August 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by BillAlpha
Hi KylieTastic, I've added a couple of references to my draft page and wondered if you could check to see if they are enough? As he's not the actual artist of the tracks he mixes, I can find lots of one line references to him as part of the production or on personal blogs, but I've found it difficult to find any that I would consider being called 'significant coverage'. Thanks for your time :)
BillAlpha (talk) 14:51, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi BillAlpha to be fair to all submitters I don't review/re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. However I can make a couple of comments. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Most of the claims made are not-notable and unsourced. I cannot see anything that would indicate notability, certainly something like just submitting an entry to Switzerland's search for their entry to the Eurovision and not getting past the first vote is not. At the moment it looks like they probably are not notable enough for a Wikipedia article, at least at the moment. Cheers KylieTastic (talk)
Ah, sorry I didn’t realise it would be someone else next time round! I think it’s going to have to wait a while till further sources are developed. Thanks for your help. BillAlpha (talk) 18:29, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi BillAlpha no worries at all. Some reviewers will re-review but if that means decline after decline I believe it can be rather negative for the submitter with the appearance of one person blocking the article, so I think leaving it more open to multiple opinions is more healthy. However yes I think in this case waiting is probably best - but feel free to ask the Wikipedia:Teahouse if you would like a second opinion. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 18:44, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
Dear Kyle,
Thanks for taking the time to look at my article. You rejected my edit on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:EAGO and I assume you would do the same for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:MAiNGO.
I find this strange. These two software packages are competitive open-source alternatives to deterministic global optimization. The current commercial, close-source software packages BARON and ANTIGONE have wikipedia entries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BARON https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANTIGONE so I would argue taht EAGO and MAiNGO also deserve one.
Moreover, I do not see a difference between the two pages I created and the existing wikipedia entries for BARON and ANTIGONE. In fact, I based my entries on these two pages. For sure, the references in the wikipedia articles of BARON nor ANTIGONE are by no means more "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent".
For full disclosure: my researchers have developed MAiNGO.

- Hi Alexander.mitsos all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). With 6.1+ million articles yes there are ones that exist that are not up to the current guidelines. This is more likely in obscure topics that were created some time ago (BARON was created in 2011). The Other stuff exists argument only works for getting existing articles deleted. Certainly there are a number of articles in Template:Mathematical optimization software that are poorly sourced and possibly non-notable that could be put up for deletion discussion (WP:AFD). Also note that BARON has a claim to independent recognition, where Draft:EAGO does not. Also thanks for the disclosure and see please review Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). In this case note WP:NSCHOOL and WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. The references just show it exists, there is nothing to show it is notable. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 22:08, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
Thanks User:KylieTastic i will respond back after i read the details before asking about summitting. Richard Raleigh (talk) 22:11, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
Everything is good. Please go check out the Draft:Spring Hill Elementray article. Im happy to support with you. Richard Raleigh 23:00, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Richard Raleigh thanks for taking the time to improve the article and add more sources. I see you have re-submitted, but note to be fair to all submitters I don't review/re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. However I did see "The MCS Website is an random website. If you click it you will see the truth" - a random website is not a valid source - and mcsk12.org looks to originally been for "Morristown Central School".

You made some minor edits to Draft:Moon Bin. Are you recommending that it be accepted, or were you just making minor edits to it and leaving it to the judgment of another reviewer? Robert McClenon (talk) 20:51, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Robert McClenon if I was thought it was acceptable or unacceptable I would have accepted or declined. I was just doing a pass through the new submissions which I do to find easy accepts/declines and bookmark those I want to come back to, and on the way I tend to do basic tidy ups. I didn't look at the sources, but in general most members of such bands are not notable on their own and I would guess this will be the same, but tbh I've had enough of BLPs and pass most over as 99% and just levels of being nothing of note. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 21:06, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- User:KylieTastic - Okay. I had previously declined it as not providing individual evidence of notability, and had said that any resubmission should explain, in AFC comments or on the draft talk page, why the subject satisfied individual musical notability separate from the band. It was resubmitted with very little change. So the submitter is just being tendentious. Thank you.

Hello KylieTastic,
First, sorry for the username change, forgot old password.
Anyways, do you mind elaborating on why the Complete Reprint of DC Comics Draft was declined from being an article? I'm not Wikipedia-savvy nor tech-savvy, so I could be missing an appropriate article to help strengthen the webpage. But, I think this article should have its own webpage because when younger DC Comics fans begin their journey reading comics, they may enjoy seeing a condensed web article that helps them decide what comic books to get (especially if no one else in their area reads comics). I look at this idea like a crossover show, without a condensed page comprising the whole story, people can miss out or wonder if it's worth reading.
I hope this makes sense and thank you for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Someoneelsesomethingelse (talk • contribs)

Hi Kylie,
I do not understand the specific problem with the article. It was previously rejected for being a primary source. That was fixed. Could you please explain why it was rejected and how to fix this issue.
Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by SineofTan (talk • contribs)
- Hi SineofTan all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). In this case Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) is the more specific guideline. The references are clearly not independent, they are just listings, so for Wikipedia notability there is currently none. I doubt that many real estate agencies are notable enough for an encyclopedic article. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:05, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that you have declined my submission of this article draft. I used News sources for the citings as it is approved by wikipedia as explained in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#News_organizations. Could you please advise me on your expectations to approve this article. Thanks. comment added by Sandra Patel
- Hi Sandra Patel, those are not "News organizations" they are PR outlets and each one clearly states they were posted by the company themselves. In fact I note that allthough the first three are different websites they all have the same PRF tab icon, and they all appear to just be "PRFree" and all state they are a "press release distribution service".

- Hi Dgmitchell91 You tried to add File:Elder Gary E Stevenson (1600272511611973976754).jpg and then File:Gary E .Stevenson.jpg (16002745797351833224960).jpg neither of these are valid images. Images must be uploaded WP:UPIMAGE (copyright allowing)). You have not uploaded any image to wikipedia, or Wikimedia Commons. Also I can find no images already uploaded by others either. I don't know where to find a 'freely' licenced image so I can't help upload one. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 17:02, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Dgmitchell91 I see you had at one point "content://com.android.chrome.FileProvider/images/screenshot/16002745797351833224960.jpg" which suggests firstly that it's on you phone not uploaded, and secondly that it is a screenshot so probably copyrighted.

- Hi Tamizh Alchemist all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Draft:Karthik Muthukumar has four sources from IMDB which is not a reliable source as it is user created content with no sources, also they are just name mentions and nothing in-depth. The other source again is just a mention. People are not notable for just doing a job, hence why we generally require "significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources".

@Sphilbrick, KylieTastic, and Gibbygibson987: This doesn't appear to be a copyright violation of text from an external website. It appears to have been WP:COPYWITHIN-d from Four Past Midnight#The Langoliers, and the external website has itself copied the text from the English language Wikipedia article. Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 09:39, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

- Shirt58, Thanks for the heads up. Our copy patrol software doesn't check to see if matching text might match existing articles, so new articles creating or articles expanded using text from another article often show up as false positives in the tool. They should not get flagged and reverted if the copywithin guidelines is followed, so that the edit has the appropriate edit summary but if editors are unfamiliar with that guideline, those edit sometimes get reverted.

I did wonder about removing it myself but thought best to leave to the admins. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:33, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- KylieTastic, I'm not quite sure what to say. It was technically a violation of our copyright policy — editors are permitted to use material from existing Wikipedia articles but only with attribution and that wasn't done so it was a violation. My preference would have been to cure the violation by adding the attribution. I don't know whether the deletion was done based on the copyright issue or other issues — perhaps Anthony Bradbury can weigh in. if the deletion rationale was copyright, one option is to restore it and add the attribution, another option is just to re-create it which might be faster and easier.

I was frankly shocked to read your prod of this article. You wrote that there was "no … indication it passes WP:BOOKS". The article stated when you prodded it, and I was quickly able to confirm, that it received the 2001 Prix Femina. That is a clear indication of passing NBOOK #2. Would you mind explaining your reasoning? AleatoryPonderings (talk) 05:47, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hi AleatoryPonderings tbh I don't remember PRODing that :/ I don't know why I didn't just leave as tagged as unsourced which I had just done just before! However I believe it was probably because the history showed it had been created in 2013 and was still unsourced. NBOOK #2 says "major literary award" and when I think of "major" I think of ones like the Booker Prize where every winning book has an article and for that prize even almost every shortlisted book does as well. I had never heard of Prix Femina and although I'm not sure if I checked the awards article but it is tagged for better sourcing and most of the other books do not have articles not making it look "major", but I'll happily accept that it is on your say. Also NBOOK does say "is notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources" so technically it fails as it stood in isolation. However that was very sloppy of me and I clearly did not google it or it would have been obvious and I would have added a source myself - hence i guess your "shock". Partly the trouble of working at AfC where there are dozens of submission a day that claim notability for awards that mean little to nothing or made up, but I clearly failed due diligence on this one. I always hope that any actual notable subjects PRODed the creators will add a source once notified, but this editor does not appear to address the many notification they've got. I also just noticed they did add a source when created, but it was removed as dead rather than fixing or marking as dead. So yes sloppy PROD from me so thanks for catching and fixing up, always rather have an article than see deleted. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:04, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks so much for your detailed explanation :) I really appreciate it! Apologies for the accusatory tone above—I probably should have phrased that better. All the best. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 14:56, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Apologies
I am very sorry for changing atgerberg´s surname, I look it up online and got no results. Now I realize that his surname was VAN Atgerberg and that makes a lot of sense. Recently I have been changing inconsistencies with Dutch artists and their surnames because some have German surnames while others dont.
My apologies, Kohl Thompson
- Hi, OK but please note that such things should be sourced and the sources in the article used the existing name. Some people have different spellings so Wikipedia uses the most common name see WP:COMMONNAME. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 16:15, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
Question
Is Pot Dutch?
- If you mean Cor Pot then yes it says he is and this about his biography indicates yes. If you mean is Pot a Dutch name then no idea, and we only appear to name a few articles about people with that name: Cor Pot Dutch, Philippe Pot French and Pol Pot Cambodian.

Hi, I have edited Draft:Miimaland that you have moved to draft, now I think it can be moved to article space. You can refer to Roh (film) for references. I want to submit the draft for review, but it will take too long to process, plus it will keep getting rejected without solid points. On notability and referencing, it is a local Malaysian film so obviously it will not receive any major media mentions, but it is very notable as it is going to be released nationwide. I have added well-cited references. So, I personally ask for you to check on this article, and if no problems, I hope you can turn it into article asap. Sorry for any comments, thank you so much ;)) --User:LoveFromBJM (User talk:LoveFromBJM|talk]]) 20:05 UTC
- Hi LoveFromBJM I assume the "Sorry for any comments" is referring to the edit summary comments. No problem at all, such things are understandably frustrating and it's a normal human response. I must admit I would normally try to leave longer before moving but honestly I don't think I checked the time. I actually only noticed due to the invalid image showing up in a maintenance category, but it was unsourced and also a future release, and not many film are determined notable before the release. Unreleased films are not going to pass WP:NFILM so we have to rely on WP:GNG. I normally don't review on request, but as I moved it's a fair enough request. The first source seams to be half quotes and half about the theme park; The second is a listing nothing in-depth just shows it exists and is being released; The third just says "Mimaland (Sept 24) – Synopsis unavailable" so adds nothing; The forth is mostly an interview/quotes so not independent; The fifth is better but lots about the park and from an interview, then a synopsis that appears to be a cut-and-paste with no indication they even watched the film; sixth and last is about the park not the film. So sorry to disappoint again but I can't see how this currently meets any of the notability guidelines. I would say wait a few days until it's been out and add some actual reviews and submit then. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 20:36, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Best regards, Zjarr Bujari — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zjarrito (talk • contribs) 17:03, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- Zjarrito, (talk page stalker) It is not the type, it is the quality and the quality of the referencing. Look at WP:MUSIC to see of the gentleman qualifies. If he does then you need referencing.
- For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle Faddle 17:55, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

"This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia." Arapaho9 (talk) 14:00, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Arapaho9 all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). You just have a single reference of the YouTube channel, which is not an independent reliable source.

- Hi Leocaglio firstly if you are the subject you need to review Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Secondly it's not a case of not believing the information but a case of how Wikipedia works. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). In this case Wikipedia:Notability (people) is the most applicable, or maybe WP:NMOTORSPORT. I doubt that you are notable enough yet to qualify for an article, I wish you luck in your career and that ou achieve the success that will mean others will create a Wikipedia article.

Why did you declined the article request, and what could I do to improve this for it not be declined? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:811C:6901:BD4B:D5C7:CC2:D6F1 (talk) 19:00, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
- As per the decline note and the extra comment I added it's unsourced. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS) KylieTastic (talk) 19:02, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
Draft:Society for Abandoned Animals
Might as well delete this one :( they don't have a PR team so don't get articles to use as reference. --Catxx (talk) 14:09, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Catxx Wikipedia is not interested in PR, have no news sources mentioned their work? Unfortunately a lot of charities doing good work are not recognised thus don't meet the Wikipedia notability guidelines. Doing a google news search for "Society for Abandoned Animals" found "Society+for+Abandoned+Animals"&tbm=nws 355 hits, have a look there may be enough to support notability.

Dear KylieTastic
Do you know how to make a route marker. I need B4 and B30 for List of road routes in the Northern Territory, an M37 marker for List of road routes in the New South Wales and an A230 and a B250 for list of road routes in the Australian Capital Territory.

Mistake at El Dandy article.
Hello, so I've modifed the article because the born place and date are wrong. He was born at May 28th 1962 at Guadalajara, Jalisco, México. He even make fun that his article at Wikipedia it's wrong. Greetings. Asa 2210 (talk) 22:38, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Asa 2210 their is a source but it's not online to verify, you changed with no source so no one can tell if it's true or vandalism. We unfortunately do get vandals that go around changing dates of birth etc for a joke (or whatever reason vandals have). Do you have a source? Where did he "make fun" of this? I looked and found another source that says October 2 this and its been that way since 2012. Also wrestlingdata.com says the same, also IMDB (not that they are reliable). Also this and this and this. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:39, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi!
I saw you reviewed Draft:Shahab Khan (Actor) with an edit summary that implicated that you declined the submission. The original creator has however still moved the page to mainspace and the AFC tag now shows it was created via said process. CDid you decline it (in which case it should be re draftified) or did you accept it?
Thanks in advance,
Asartea Talk | Contribs 05:58, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Asartea no I did not accept, and no editor would with just IMDB as a source. Even if IMDB was a reliable source it appears to show no major roles so not notable. However 2pou has already resolved the issue while I was sleeping and moved back to draft (thanks). Thanks for bring this to my attention as I would have moved back if it had not already been done. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:53, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
- @KylieTastic:, Thanks for the reply. I thought so already but didn't want to re draftify it before knowing it for sure. But luckily enough 2pou already resolved it. Asartea Talk | Contribs 09:59, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello! I've given this draft a good look, and I firmly believe it's good to go as-is. It has "significant coverage about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources". It looks nearly identical to current (active) articles about college football coaches; in sum, I think it should not have been declined. So what's the next step in this case? Mrgate3 (talk) 14:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Mrgate3 the first option would if you think the first review was wrong just resubmit, however if you can find any additional reliable sources that would help. The other would be as I said on Sulfurboy's talk page to ask for feedback/advice at the Wikipedia:Teahouse or use the "ask us a question" link on the decline note, or ask at Wikipedia:WikiProject American football as they have an interest in the topic. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:56, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
I was about to decline this draft when you declined it. I included some comments on the draft talk page. I think that you and I are in agreement. BLPs of the subject have come up before, and there have been two deletion discussions. I think that the next real review should be in March 2024, when the guideline on minors no longer applies, and the question will still be whether his personal life and education (when he will be selecting a university) have anything to do with anything. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:34, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Robert McClenon at the moment he is non notable for so many reasons, and if he becomes notable in the future is a job for the crystal ball. I guess it will partly depend on if Trump gets elected for a second term or not, or he may do "notable" things on his own merit as all humans can, but most don't. For now there is enough now to worry about the future. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:41, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I am wondering if you would be interested in re-reviewing [Draft: Christopher Hollins]. It is about an American politician who is leading the charge in making sure all Harris County, Texans are able to vote by mail in the upcoming election. Harris County is a major county to watch because it is slated as a County that could determine whether Texas goes red or blue in November 2020 and Mr. Hollins' work will be instrumental in the outcome. He recently appeared on VICE, and is scheduled to appear on MSNBC and CNN in the coming daysBostickLaw (talk) 20:45, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi I understand your position man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPlSlXSlyxg&feature=youtu.be there's the interview where he says his born date and place and also makes fun of the article it's from minute 1:17 to 1:54 where he says all that, I think there is no better source than he's own word. The interview is on Spanish I hope there's no problem with that. Greetings — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asa 2210 (talk • contribs) 12:13, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hey Asa 2210 thanks for coming back with that, it would not be the first time a "fact" has been spread wide but is incorrect, but also sometimes people lie about there own age. I personally don't think so in this case as it's usually to remove years from their age to appear younger - not the case here. It's amazing that this probably wrong date has been so wide spread, but probably the language barrier does not help. Wikipedia does not care about the language of source though. However although I would personally accept this, the guidelines don't like "primary" sources, so I have used this as a reason to remove the wrong/challenged date from the article but not update - and so thanks for help improving Wikipedia. You could use that source to add the corrected date, or a good idea would be to post first on the article talk page as a suggestion and if no one disagrees then update.

Dear KylieTastic
Could you please make a BMD tourist drive shield, like this: https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.7226388,150.3283457,3a,28.7y,163.53h,83.16t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sCLfUdjS2raoKlDWwidD7gg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
Also Could you change the D1 shield from this
to something like this
Could you also do the D5 shield from this
to something like this
Also could you put a black border around the D1 box but please dont put the black border around the D5 box. Also could you put an ACT style font on D1 and an NSW style font for D5. Sorry for the confusion, its just how its signed.
Thanks, Thent1234 (talk) 23:09, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Thent1234 the first one looks similar to Category:Diagrams of Australian tourist drive route markers, apart from it looks a lighter brown, wider, with no top text. Unfortunately I can't find a free copy of the official spec. I see on List of road routes in New South Wales this is File:Australian_Tourist_Drive_BMD.svg has been added to others from this category - so will this do is similar?
- If the D1 should be like a ACT style then I assume you want {{AUshield|ACT|D1|size=x30px}} not {{AUshield|NSW|D1|size=x30px}} which would be filename File:New_South_Wales_alphanumeric_route_D1.svg? Again with no spec I have no idea of the proper details (colours, size, font)
- I'm thinking you will probbly be better off posting this request to Wikipedia:WikiProject Highways/Route markers where the real road fans keen on accurate signs hang out and someone who has already made lots of Aussie signs will probably see. The person I'm thinking off may have a copy of the spec as I have seen them cite it. As there are no existing templates I would just be guessing. So I suggest post there, and if none of the serious road fans picks it up I'll do my best attempt. Fair enough? Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:33, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Thent1234 (talk) 07:16, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Thent1234 I've done the B77. As for the others note that people are busy and sometimes requests are done quick sometimes a long time - especially in these times. By removing your request on Wikipedia:WikiProject Highways/Route markers it made it look like you no longer wanted them. Fredddie did the first one and is probably the most likely to have the ability and details to do the others, so may still do them. If not I'll try to get around to having a stab but I'm not feeling great at the moment so not today. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:10, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Reply to Draft: S.M. Nurse
Hello. Thanks for checking my draft. My wiki is actually the translation of a Dutch wiki about a well-known underground band (S.M. Nurse). I consider it is proper to have it into English since it is an influential group for its kind of music. So, if there is an approved Dutch Wiki, I don’t grasp how the translation could it be wrong. What is missing please? Best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Norvic77 (talk • contribs) 18:00, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Norvic77 firstly different language Wikipedias have different criteria for inclusion. In general the more articles the more rules, so English Wikipedia tends to be the most strict. Secondly Wikis including Wikipedia are not reliable sources - any good wiki has sources and those should be used directly. Draft:S.M. Nurse has no sources at all, and as a band would need to show they met the criteria on WP:MUSICBIO. I hope that explains things, and if they meet the Wikipedia:Notability (music) guidelines please do add the sources and re-submit. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:14, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

However I'll also make some extra comments... "Pandoratv-raws" does not appear to be a website, but more of a username used on several sites. The article seams to just promote downloads of Doraemon which appear to be copyrighted material. Wikipedia is not a place to promote illegal downloads/torrents. Some 'references' like https://nya.iss.one/user/Pandoratv have links that just send you to spam sites. There is nothing to suggest this is encyclopedic content, and I see nothing but promotion of illegal torrents. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 18:12, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS).

What should I do with this vandal?
Dear KylieTastic
I am very unsure what to do with Effluvium1. He/she has been vandalising "List of road routes in Victoria" in 2017 six times and has been unnoticed for 3 years. I gave him his fifth warning today. Should I block him/her or not. Also this morning (on the Saturday 17 Oct) he/she tried to change my mind by thanking me on the removal. Currently I've manually removed his edits but six is a lot.
Thanks, Stay Covid Safe.
Thent1234 (talk) 00:54, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
2017 - List of road routes in Victoria
- This message is directed to user by the name of Thent1234
In response to your ridiculous warnings and threats to block me, let me set you straight on a few moral dilemmas on your part that I intend to take severe issue with...
When I edited the page back in 2017, the page was largely unfinished - many of the tables were blank. I started adding data which I received by looking at Google Maps to the tables, and found it to be somewhat therapeutic - road routes has always been a bit of an interest of mine. I am in no way refuting your right as a fellow Wikipedia user to edit my work on this page and update it based on your own findings, however, I will NOT tolerate being threatened with blocking or accused of blatant vandalism. I believe that any data is better than none at all, but if there are any inaccuracies I will gladly accept them. I would have appreciated a less invasive and, frankly, belligerently alienating response to this matter. Instead of belittling me and refuting MY rights as an editor, I would have liked a more educational and understanding response.
I am, however, thankful for your enlightenment on the matter that NSW does not use C-routes to identify their rural roads, which, in future I will adhere to, unless your rude and arrogant attack has disheartened me to the point of never wanting to edit another page ever again.
I have chosen to put this behind me - I will endeavour to not let your actions affect me in any way, and again I thank you for updating the page for the benefit of other road users. I will take no further political action, and I hope that you, apart from your rightful scrutiny of the page, choose to do the same. However, you should know that if you choose to respond to my act of gratitude with any more hostility, then hopefully other users will see this as a reflection of your ugly personality and belligerence, rather than of me.
Hoping you are well, Anthony. Effluvium1 (talk) 01:02, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
Dear Effluvium1
I'm really sorry that the Wikipedia messages disheartened you. Next time please source your information. I understand that you find it as an attacking statement, but these are Wikipedia templates, not mine. Also to me, any edit that has incorrect info is considered as vandalism. Please note than every map of NSW that you see doesn't have a C route in it. Also please send the message on MY talk page and not someone else's. Also NEVER trust google maps as it is rarely updated. Its got many routes wrong such as SR6 in QLD, B76 in NSW in a lot of places and it doesn't show that B79 reaches the Queensland border. It is also better to have multiple sources and not one. The main reason I was so annoyed by your incorrect information is I probably asked 20 or so people whether C612 went to NSW or not, wasting their precious and valuable time, whereas they could be doing something more productive. Hope that gets you why I was so annoyed at your incorrect info.
Hope you are well and stay COVID-19 safe Thent1234 (talk) 01:13, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Thent1234 I assume you are talking about these and this. To be honest I can't see what you see to make you think these are vandalism? As Effluvium1 states above this appears to be mostly filling out details in a previously blank tables with roughly correct details. Their may be mistakes but from your own changes they are not major and not vandalism. For example C381 Effluvium1 filled in the blank details, you have changed it from ending at Howlong to ending just outside at the border. From google maps, and street-view, it looks like you are correct however I can;t see how this is vandalism, it was just using vague locations rather than exact ones. I would guess even locals would describe the route from Chiltern, Victoria to Howlong as just taking the C381 all the way. Technically wrong but in day to day life people would say that rather than take the C381 up to the NSW border then continue on River Rd for the last kilometre. Wikipedia should be accurate so updating and pointing out to Effluvium1 that the C roads don't exist in NSW and stop at the border is fine. The change for the C375 is similar, yes technically wrong but roughly correct in giving the rough start end of the road. As such I believe the warnings to Effluvium1 were incorrect as not vandalism. Also if someone was a major vandal 3 years ago then stopped we would not warn now if none since as people change. Also if these were vandalism and recently done, as the edits were all in one go you would give one warning not one for each. You started with the correct approach, fix the issues and left the message for them pointing out "NSW doesn't use C routes", the warnings after that are not cool as you had already addressed the issue and effectually kept re-warning for the same edits. In summary I believe the original edits by Effluvium1 were made in good faith, then Thent1234 your fixes were correct but you have just let your passion for correctness and for Australia get the better of you and see malicious intent where I believe there was none. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 14:33, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
Dear Effluvium1 and KylieTastic
Okay, so I've done more research on what is vandalism and what isn't. So this is what it isn't "A user who, in good faith, adds content to an article that is factually inaccurate but in the belief that it is accurate is trying to contribute to and improve Wikipedia, not vandalize it. If you believe inaccurate information has been added to an article in good faith, remove it once you are certain it is inaccurate, or discuss its factuality with the user who has added it." I now understand that these are good faith edits and not vandalism. However, NO SINGLE MAP stated that these routes crossed the border and as such, I had taken it as vandalism. Please note, when filling something thats blank, please do your research from both state's websites. Also back the information up with other websites and travel guides too. Even if one map had it in error, there's always (or most of the time) google streetview to back up your edits. Also (to Effluvium1) it is highly inappropriate to put your attacking statement on someone else's talk page and not mine. Also,doing good faith edits does NOT give you the rights to confuse people and provide incorrect information. So please put accurate information and NOT what would help people trying to find out. I also want to tell you that I has thought this when giving out the warnings.
1. Use level 1
2. Use level 2
3. use level 3
4. use level 4
5. use level 4im
In conclusion, just do your research while doing your edits if it is blank, because I had wasted around 20 peoples time trying to find out whether C612 crossed the border or not when they could be doing something more productive and not sorting out this incorrect information.
Stay Covid Safe and hope that helps.

Hello. I ask for your help in correcting the advertising style of the article. I don't understand English very well and it's very difficult for me to understand what exactly needs to be corrected to get rid of this problem. I ask for your help as an experienced editor. Thank you very much! 2A00:1FA1:137:7985:F18B:4A4F:48B8:B821 (talk) 08:47, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi 2A00:1FA1:137:7985:F18B:4A4F:48B8:B821 I have no interest in the subject or most BLPs - you should talk to the decliner and/or ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse instead where lots of experienced editors will see the request. I have a backlog of articles I've working on/reviewing due to real life pressures so I'm not going to get involved with anything new. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:44, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Please review this article
Hi KylieTastic
Could you please review this artice about Oda Faremo Linholm who is a Norsk journalist. This page is translated in English.
Cheers, Thent1234 (talk) 09:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Thent1234 I'm not very well at the moment so not doing much Wikipedia, and nothing that needs much thought! It's not clear for what written how she is notable as per WP:BIO? Is Brage Prize one of those awards that just being nominated is notable? Just writing a book does not make someone notable, as these days anyone can with a little effort.

Draft:Heisenberg time
Hi KylieTastic,
I recently drafted an article on the Heisenberg time, a basic concept in many body quantum mechanics.
The Heisenberg time is an important concept in the fields of quantum chaos, it is not obviously a subsidiary of some more general concept, and it features a lot in our understanding of how quantum statistical mechanics emerges from the quantum theory of isolated systems. These are extensive and established fields of research. As an expert in these fields I am confident in this assessment. However, I am not an expert in wikipedia, and it is my assumption that this would qualify this concept for a short article.
At the moment I have provided two reference to two pedagogical texts which introduce the Heisenberg time. This seems to have not placated the reviewers. I can provide an extensive list of published papers in which the Heisenberg time is discussed, this would provide evidence that this concept is often used in the academic literature, however it would likely be quite useless for readers of wikipedia, as these texts discuss the Heisenberg time, but it is not the aim of their work to explain its relevance. Would this be a good way to proceed? Or is there some other criteria for which the article fails to meet wikipedia's criteria?
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19B:B00:87A0:8AB:48D:6446:861 (talk) 16:22, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi 2601:19B:B00:87A0:8AB:48D:6446:861 being short is not an issue per se, as this is what Wikipedia calls a stub. However for a topic like this being very short it can look just like a dictionary definition or a neologism neither are considered valid as encyclopedic articles. Also ll new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). However I would think this is possibly a notable topic, so I would suggest two things: first add just a couple more sentences to make more than a definition; secondly add a couple of additional sources to show generally notable - if you can find any less academic source that discusses that would be best, but in not academic literature is fine but should cover the subject non trivially - i.e. not just use it as a term. Also you could ask for help at Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics and/or the Wikipedia:Teahouse to get more eyes on and maybe get help from someone with knowledge of the subject. Hope that helps. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 16:38, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
Declined Al Imran Niloy Article
Hi, can you tell me why decline my article? Where is problem explain me then i will solve this article problem. Warmthain (talk) 20:50, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Warmthain I declined Draft:Al Imran Niloy as it only had one reference, all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:59, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for explain me. I need to find more reference and add becuse that my hard working and writing. I need to improve more edit. God bless you ☺️ Warmthain (talk) 21:06, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi kliyetastic i replaced this article and add more more nine reference link. Can you see my Article? Its perfect or something else? That really soo hard work thank you Warmthain (talk) 09:27, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Warmthain I'm just home from work and see the article has been deleted as G7 (author request) so I can't comment! KylieTastic (talk) 19:35, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
Hey there! I'm not arguing that this article as it stands should be put into the main namespace (it's clearly not worth it as it stands), but I am a little confused by the tag used for rejection -- it is not humorous or a hoax, and refers to boycotts of the newspaper after the Hillsborough disaster of 1989 (mentioned here: The_Sun_(United_Kingdom)#Total_Eclipse_of_the_S*n_Campaign), though I presume you already knew that. Is this just based on "example.com" being used as the reference? --Bangalamania (talk) 01:14, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Bangalamania it's difficult to judge sometimes the reason why someone made a submission, and yes I can see from your coments this was actually serious. It was more that I couldn't see this as a serious attempt at an article, and we get a lot of weird "joke" submissions. I haven't checked but I would expect that the article about the "newspaper" itself would mention when their coverage had caused outrage and boycotts. If there are reliable sources mentioning the boycotts on that article would be more appropriate than a stand-alone article - unless there has been a lot of these boycotts to warrant a spin-out article. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:07, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
Raniya Sundall Mateo
Hi, i will get to you straight. You should edit the page of miss rabiya, and lock it to avoid vandalism made by indoneisans like what they did to malaysia’s francisca luhong james. Shame. Playing dirty, that will not help you win a crown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ph awesome (talk • contribs) 11:35, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
- Ph awesome I absolutely zero interest in any beauty pageant crown - just vandalism. You chose to vandalise the page rather than request page protection, and if you do it again you risk being blocked. KylieTastic (talk) 11:50, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
- then do your job! Dont be one sided! Be fair to all! That page was clearly vadalized by some retarded indonesian editor, and putting references like blogs and news page that clearly has not being researched. You should base it on offical records like the posted yearbook! And in the philippines, we never put the name of the father’s middle name.

83.209.107.147 (talk) 04:07, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi 83.209.107.147, all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). The current references for Draft:UFO Recordz do not show this. Actual full links, or details are required not just website root links like the first one, or 5 and 6 that are just searches. Existing and doing things is not notable, you need sources about the label itself not just the artists or the records. Hope that explains things. You can always ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse for more advice. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:12, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
Photos
Greetings Kylietastic. Thabks for all your good works. I nkticed you're often able to add photos. I think the Irvin Miller article would benefit from some. Is the one on the left here from a 2009 auction public domainฯ? I've seen some other floating around the internet as well and there are probably ones for his shows too. Advertising etc. I coukdnt2 find anything on Commons. Thanks. FloridaArmy (talk)
- Hi FloridaArmy most the time such as that auction page it's unclear so would be deleted from commons, also for that image as they say circa 1930s-1940s unlikely to fall in any US expired. Some places such as floridamemory.com are a joy as they are clearly marked PD, and commons has {{Attribution-FLGov-PhotoColl}} to make the licence claim easy. Other than that I usually search newspapers.com for any images published in the US paper pre Jan 1, 1925 as they also get a pass using {{PD-US-expired}}. From a quick look I found this bad image (many pre 1925 are!) which I could crop out. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:51, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
- Interesting. Thanks so much for looking into it. That image would actually be great because Broadway Rastus the show is also very notable and ran for many many years with lots of notable performers. FloridaArmy (talk) 12:00, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi FloridaArmy I've cropped the full image File:Irvin C Miller & Henry Jines (circa 1917).png and cropped version File:Irvin C Miller (1884-1975) circa 1917.png and there is also the article link for a source. I couldn't find any other "free" images. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 22:17, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
Vandalism
Hi!
Why did you removed my vandalism picture on the wikipedia vandalism page? This is an actual vandalism piece what I upload. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaaasNL (talk • contribs)
- Hi JaaasNL I removed it because it appeared to be an invalid image, also dumping an image at the top of an article looked dubious. However I see you have been typing to add images you've uploaded on commons. There has been an issue with some new commons images not being available recently, so just wait a while and hopefully things will start working again. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:15, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi KylieTastic,
I understand you! Thank you for your answer. Do you know how long it will take? I keep getting an upload error message and tried several files.
I have now been able to upload some text but unfortunately without a photo ...
Kind regards, JaaasNL JaaasNL (talk) 14:58, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi JaaasNL this isn't normal, normally you can use an image almost straight away, so there must be technical issues with English Wikipedia and/or Wikimedia Commons. I havn't seen anything to indicate why, you could try asking at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical). Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 15:24, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Kyletastic,
Thanks again! I will do!

Request on 14:00:21, 12 November 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Jwallismartin
Hi Kylie, I'm not sure what to do to be honest. I came across the Wikipedia page for the BBC adaptation of one on my novels, and wanted to add a page of my own that people could link to from it. Is this possible? Kind regards, Julia
Jwallismartin (talk) 14:00, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Jwallismartin it's understandable that people don't realise but Wikipedia has many guidelines for content and editing, and is not a place for people to write about themselves. In this case the main guidelines to note are Wikipedia:Notability (people) and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. The general advice for people is to continue doing what you do (in your case write) and somebody will probably write an article about you at some point if enough other sources write about you and your work to show notability. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 15:03, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Hope you are now feeling better, just a quick question. Am I allowed to copy and paste from another Wikipedia article and reword it? Thanks, Thent1234 (✉) 11:08, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
Great to hear that you're well. Just another question. Thanks for the link. The main reason is that Bidgee has been threatening me that I act like I own the Blackheath Bypass article but they are legit being such a hypocrite by removing my content that I added of a Criticism bit thinking they own that article. They also decided to do that with Giinagay Way providing info to false websites that have been copied. (or it's from the Pacific Highway article and in the process of rewording but they removed it before I even had the chance to edit.) They have also put my Great Western Highway sign for deletion and I decided to make it so I looks similar to the Pacific Motorway (Sydney-Newcastle) or Great Southern Highway but states it has little purpose. I agreed to delete it later and they cannot accept defeat and decided to add a comment on File:Great Western Highway distances.png stating that the other three users are sock puppets of Jermboy27 though I did ask my friends to write their opinion on my laptop (two have an account, one doesn't) which is why we all have the same IP address. They also reverted my edit on List of road routes in the Northern Territory or see the link below what I reverted back. Instead of only removing the sources, they decided to revert the entire thing and asked me to read WP:NOR which I said yes but was too lazy to read some other changes that I've made like changing to and so I gave a warning to them. They instead replied to me that I've misused it and removed it. I then added a comment(on my own talk page) saying that that is a misleading comment and was reverted. But then yesterday, they added a misleading comment of what I said above, sockpuppets of Jermboy27 (who lives in Perth wheras my friends live in Sydney so obviously not true and I didn't even know that user existed until now) so I decided to remove the ones saying keep as I the owner said to delete and add it back once it's finalised but then they decided to say, it's vandalism. Also I think they are stalking me. They only edit the articles that I've made big improvements to. So am I allowed to write a harsh message to Bidgee? Just hope they don't remove my currently unused alphanumeric markers. They are there if WA switches to alphas so Fredddie doesn't have to do all the work. Thent1234 (✉) 23:45, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
@KylieTastic and Bidgee: Excuse me Bidgee, Now stop being such a hypocrite again. I see your user contributions and you ONLY edit the ones that I do. Also from what I saw on the Admin's Noticeboard and saw that Jermboy27 lives in Perth while I live in Sydney or specifically the Parramatta LGA. Now I only know Wikipedia policies a fair bit because a fair bit of edits of mine have been reverted, as soon as I read the policies and with your WP:NOR there. Now back to your stalking me. "Well Oh and I also seen comment where you accused me of stalking, I have edited road articles in Australia and all of which are on my watchlist (including the project pages)." is such a big lie. You saw my contributions and decided to come here, if not, you would have gone to someone else. Get better at your lying skills. About the ownership, then what is this! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Thent1234#November_2020 I removed all the comments as I happily decided to delete the image and add the image again once the route is confirmed. I was fairly tired so I didn't realise that bit. Now also keep Thegwh32 out of this. I initially decided to create a username but didn't have any ideas other than the NT. So I got the idea from Thek22900 and the northern territory so I got Thent. The 1234 is about the NT and also relates to "mubd1234" a redditer who I find inspiring and keen to make road signs. So there was the 1234. Now recently Thek22900 had changed their username to Thegwh32 which is why we have similar usernames. For Thevic1234, (aka my close friend) we decided to talk through the talk page (I logged on through Chrome and he went onto Safari) through the same computer and make route markers which I upload. His username comes from Thent1234 to annoy me. The bit that you claim is plagiarised is from the Pacific Highway and the Great Western Highway article so go and give them a warning instead of attacking, harassing and bullying me. Also taken note of your appalling behaviour when sending messages. Your messages sometimes dishearten me of not wanting for me to ever edit another Wikipedia article for the benefits of other readers. Now here's what I have to say about your disgraceful behaviour: I am in no way refuting your right as a fellow Wikipedia user to edit my work on this page and update it based on your own findings, however, I will NOT tolerate being threatened with blocking or accused of blatant vandalism. I believe that any data is better than none at all, but if there are any inaccuracies I will gladly accept them. I would have appreciated a less invasive and, frankly, belligerently alienating response to this matter. Instead of belittling me and refuting MY rights as an editor, I would have liked a more educational and understanding response instead of a disgraceful, disheartening message that is intended to bully and harass others. I have chosen to put this behind me - I will endeavour to not let your actions affect me in any way, and again I thank you for updating the page for the benefit of other road users to get rid of the plagiarism I didn't add. I will take no further political action, and I hope that you, apart from your rightful scrutiny of the page, choose to do the same. However, you should know that if you choose to respond to my act of gratitude with any more hostility, then hopefully other users will see this as a reflection of your ugly personality and belligerence, rather than of mine. Thent1234 (✉) 03:05, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Also if you can not do original research, then how are you supposed to measure out the distances in the first place! Nearly all of the WikiProject Aussie Roads use Google Maps to measure things out. Then we'd have to put most road pages for speedy deletion. Thent1234 (✉) 03:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
First I was unsure how to write in encyclopaedic way. So I decided to learn it off Thek22900 (now Thegwh32) That's how I learnt it. If you want to see both of our reddit pages see them below: Thek22900(Thegwh32): https://www.reddit.com/user/thek22900 Mine: https://www.reddit.com/user/Opposite_Ad_2996/ So yes I do have a different username for reddit but I have different usernames and passwords for each website. My other friends don't have reddit accounts . Now back to Jermboy27. I read the administrators noticeboard and Jermboy27 didn't get disheartened or even bothered about those warnings whilst I did. Also I never had vandalised any page on en.wikipedia. whilst Jermboy did. Thent1234 (✉) 03:22, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Please do not change historical names. There was no Kyiv in 15th century. Lembit Staan (talk) 14:00, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Lembit Staan there was nothing on the article to suggest is was a historical name. My understanding was the Kiev/Kyiv was purely an argument over how to romanize the spelling, not historical. I could see that there is a good argument to keep historical articles of the region to the previously accepted English spelling. If keeping as "Kiev Voivodeship" then the article needs updating/reverting as others had already changed it all to Kyiv, also it should include something to indicate why it's Kiev to stop happening again - at least a talk page note. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:43, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
There are precedents over historical naming, the most heated quarrel was about Gdansk/Danzig. Kiev/Kyiv is not about Romanization, it is about naming in Cyrillic in the first place. The difference is small because the languages are close. Lembit Staan (talk) 16:45, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Reverting someone’s edits

Adding/ Editing Someone’s Wikipedia Page
Preston Glass has new CDs as well as a documentary that needed to be added to his Wikipedia page. Please tell me how/ why you felt the need to revert my updates on Preston Glass' Wikipedia Page? Thank you Carla Thomas. Carla Thomas (talk) 03:45, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Carla Thomas, firstly "...given permission by Preston Glass" - Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia written by people about subjects, not a place for people, companies, brands to promote - that is there own websites and social media. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest
- I reverted the edits for multiple reasons some given in the edit summary "Invalid image, link spam (mid artcile), & unsourced additions" - see your version
- random junk [[ [[|thumb|Preston Glass]] ]] at top
- File:Surviving & Thriving Preston Glass v2.pdf is not a valid image - Note images must be uploaded WP:UPIMAGE (copyright allowing)
- You added a list of artists "Larry Graham, Narada Michael Walden, Rebbie Jackson, Johnny Mathis, George Benson, Michael Bolton, Dionne Warwick, Stanley Jordan, Evelyn “Champagne” King, Deniece Williams, Anita Pointer, The Temptations, Freda Payne, Cindy Herron" with no source - information on Wikipedia requires Wikipedia:Reliable sources for Wikipedia:Verifiability. Also it is not helpful or readable to just list everyone someone has worked with. This if really big articles with decades of work, you would have a whole screen of names. Such lists should be a selection to show major and interesting collaborations not everyone - and must have a source (not "Preston Glass" told me).
- the link to http://personaltouchrecording.com/ was then just dumped in the lead and is somewhat promotional, but I have added back in a correct location at the bottom in "External links".
- next another link to facebook just dumped in the lead with misleading link pretending it went to thrillentertainmentgroup.com - thrillentertainmentgroup.com is already in the infobox, adding again is just promotional - again this is an encyclopedia not for promotion
- The documentary "Surviving & Thriving" is fine to add - as long at there is a source - if you have a source please add
- “Love And Compassion” Vol 3 CD could be added to the Discography section - as long at there is a source - I have added back with source
- His wife and kids was removed as unsourced and you have to be extra careful adding information about living people - see Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons and note the section on "Privacy of names" - unless they are public figures already they have the right to there own privacy. If you have a source we would normally still just say he has a wife, a daughter and grandchildren.
- I hope that explains things. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 12:53, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Carla Thomas Wikipedia Page
Dear Editor, For some reason, 9 years ago, someone deleted my Wikipedia Page. They said it was advertising or something of that sort. Not true. I am a Native San Franciscan from humble beginnings, and I moved to Southern CA, and worked as an AE to the owner of one of the oldest retail shops, in Beverly Hills (GEARYS Beverly Hills). I then went in to managed a non-profit ( Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce in BH and I have the oldest blog in the city of Beverly Hills - https://www.rodeodrivelifestyles.com/?m=1
You might say sarcastically, “Big Woop!!” But for some, this was quite remarkable. Phil Savenick, President of the Beverly Hills Historical Society asked me to return from San Francisco, to Beverly Hills, to be included in their documentary entitled, “Beverly Hills, 100 Years, 100 Stories.” http://www.beverlyhillshistoricalsociety.org/video- collection

Harboro' Rocks
Hello KylieTastic. You removed 2 photos that I added today to my Harboro' Rocks article with this message: "Revert - not a recognised image file - Note images must be uploaded WP:UPIMAGE (copyright allowing)" Please will you explain what this means (no idea what WP:UPIMAGE means) and what I'm supposed to do to fix it. I uploaded the images as photos that are my own work using the standard Visual Editor feature to insert an image. Has the tool not worked properly? I have used it many many times without this problem. Thanks, Douglal (talk) 20:16, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Douglal you added File:Cave Entrance at Harboro Rocks.jpg and File:Cave Interior at Harboro Rocks.jpg neither of which showed as existing (red-links) - I assumed just one of the regular additions we get using filenames from who knows where, but not uploaded. However I see from your commons uploads c:Special:ListFiles/Douglal you had uploaded them but something had gone wrong - there was a note at the top saying no file and links to upload or purge cache - which I did and they have appeared! First time I've seen that glitch. Fixed now on article. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:44, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Ive recently just made my wikipedia account like 2 hours ago because i thought it would be very fascinating to edit and correct wiki articles, i have little to known experience with this space but i just went ahead and made an article about me. You declined it but thats ok, can you tell me things on what i can improve? I don’t know if i made a Wikipedia article or a page about me, can you please help me? Sorry to bother. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RandomEditorDude (talk • contribs) 13:46, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi RandomEditorDude and welcome to Wikipedia. The content you put on your submission User:RandomEditorDude/sandbox is more suitable for you user page User:RandomEditorDude see Wikipedia:User pages for more info. There are lots of things to do on Wikipedia depending on your interests from updating/improving the 6.2 million existing articles, expanding the many stubs, writing new articles (I'd wait till you have some more experience), anti-vandalism, maintenance tasks, working on backlogs, getting involved with wiki projects - See Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia for ideas, and if you have any questions along the way Wikipedia:Teahouse is there to help new editors. Cheers, happy editing KylieTastic (talk) 14:26, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Draft: RimWorldPorn
Could you please tell me which source is regarded unreliable, and I'll do my best to find something more reliable.
Thank you Tripsmimed (talk) 22:53, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Tripsmimed user generated content such as urbandictionary, reddit and tumblr are all not reliable sources. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources for more details. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 23:01, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
I've found non user content websites that mention the terms used and replaced them in the draft, are they deemed reliable? Tripsmimed (talk) 23:12, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
Draft:Nizar Abdullah Alsufi
Omg am a big fan of you i like your articles and everything I only have a few minutes so could you review my draft again and reconsider your opinion because I traveled to get this information and you just refused it plz check it again all love ❤️ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Host 9099087 (talk • contribs) 10:02, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry but all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS) - In this case see Wikipedia:Notability (academics). No article without [WP:RS|reliable sources]] will be accepted, and if it was it would be deleted by others. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 10:45, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
New Page for Bria Homes
Good day! I received your comment regarding the article I created for Bria Homes which you recently reviewed. Noted on the lack of credible sources not related to the brand. I was planning to edit it but the draft was deleted. Is there a way to retrieved the deleted draft so I can continue on improving the content?
Thank you!
Kimboli1993 (talk) 06:35, 26 November 2020 (UTC)Kimboli1993
- Hi Kimboli1993 I see that both Draft:Bria Homes and User:Kimboli1993/sandbox were rejected, and both deleted as "G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion". As I'm not an admin I cannot see the deleted content and I can't remember. Wikipedia does has a WP:REFUND option but not for those deleted for this reason, you could ask the deleting admins - the names can be seen in the red information boxes at the top of the deleted admins. However note that Wikipedia is not for promotion and articles need to be written with a Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and companies must meet the requirements set out in Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). And finally if you are linked to the subject you must be aware of Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 09:51, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
Eric Feng
Hi Kylie Tastic. Thank you for your input; however, we are trying to amend what this "software engineer" has done by "impersonating" the real Eric Feng. He might have had the accolade he's put on his own wikipedia page but he has no claim to the name "Eric Feng" and has been trying to mislead away from our website by placing it on his own page. We recently requested for google to remove our website from his Wikipedia page. Therefore please refrain from undoing our edits as we have been working hard to amend the damage this person has done. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Korrectorr (talk • contribs) 03:41, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
- Wow the arrogance! Eric Feng the software engineer is not impersonating your Eric Feng, they are just one of presumably many Eric Feng's in the world. Your use of "We" suggests that you are also editing against the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest guidelines. KylieTastic (talk) 09:30, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
LoneDev Draft:Narcolepsy_(video_game)
Hello Kylie! Thanks for your notes, sadly it's not clear to me what should I edit to make the article respect Wikipedia requirements. I'm the developer of this videogame and I only have YouTube videos about it, no website, no Steam shop page, so I have no other references to be added to the article. Let me know what I can do, thanks again for your time! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Narcolepsy_(video_game) — Preceding unsigned comment added by LoneDev (talk • contribs) 09:26, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi LoneDev Wikipedia is a place where subjects that are already notable get written about. It is not a place to promote subjects that are not yet notable. So what you should do is keep working on you game(s) and use social media and/or your own website to public information about your work if you want to keep people informed. I wish you all the best with your projects, hope that you have fun doing it, and if your successful then someone will probably write article(s) about your game(s). All the best, KylieTastic (talk) 09:43, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
Draft:Adam Jeppesen
Although I revision deleted Draft:Adam Jeppesen, I think the article is riddled with copyvios and it might be better if the creator started over again. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:32, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hey Cwmhiraeth I agree it did look like it probably had more issues and needs more checking, but I couldn't directly find enough evidence to merit a G12. I doubt anyone would accept in the current form, I'll try to find some time to give it a deeper look. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 12:37, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Clarify a coheren rejection reason in accordance with similar articles for Draft:InnoVISION_Multimedia_Limited
This https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:InnoVISION_Multimedia_Limited was rejected with a boilerplate reason.
The article is about a small but well established computer hardware company and adds missing information on Wikipedia about the relationship between the INNO3D brand, its owner InnoVISION and PC Partner, a larger company that owns InnoVision.
The article is made in accordance with other articles for similarly small computer hardware companies (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palit_Microsystems) and it includes only useful information without pointless fluff (such as a useless lists of computer hardware types made by a company) added to the article just to have many words and low SnR.
What is the clear coherent reason why this information should not be on Wikipedia when there is nothing more to say about this particular company at this time? — Preceding unsigned comment added by OrlanCV (talk • contribs)
- Hi User:OrlanCV the Other stuff exists argument is rarely helpful and is much more likely to get existing articles removed than new one approved. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). In this case Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) are the best fit to look at. For Draft:InnoVISION Multimedia Limited the first source is the companies own website (not independent), the second and third just passing mentions. To clarify on your last two points, we definitely approve of not including pointless fluff and nu-encyclopedic padding. The issue is purely on showing "notability" as that is the standard Wikipedia uses for inclusion - and for that you require significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Hope that explains things, all the best KylieTastic (talk) 09:50, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
Thank you!
Thank you for cleaning up the references on my current draft. I'm still new at this so I need all the help I can get, and I learned about a new tool, as well! Have a great day! Jcollinsycc (talk) 15:39, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi KylieTastic, another thank you for further cleanup! Question: is having External Links after References the standard format for entries? I appreciate your feedback! Jcollinsycc (talk) 16:21, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Jcollinsycc, yes - content first, then the references that back up the content as those are the primary purpose for an encyclopedia - then external links that readers can choose to follow off-site if interested further. Often new-editors try to use external links to post "promotional" links - this is why in most cases there should not be external links in the content - see Wikipedia:External links. As a paid editor (I note from you user page declaration) it's probably even more important to be as neutral and un-promotional as possible as any submissions will be much more careful scrutinised. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 16:43, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
I keep getting editor messages ... It isn't me ( from NZ)
Hi !
I haven't edited anything for years ... and then . only one small thing from memory . I assume I am being lumped in with all traffic from NZ ?
If you are tracking this computer ( my laptop) and believe I am the source of edits , be advised it is not the case . Please advise appropriate authorities of this identity theft (?).
I guess it isn't an issue ... until whoever is actually doing something you keep changing does something unsavoury and I AM BLAMED .
I would like to avoid that if possible.
Cheers

- Hi John, the messages that were on User_talk:49.224.73.65 were back from March and therefore we know could very likely be a different person assign it now (I have removed them). The IP addresses that your ISP assigns can change, so you just saw messages aimed at a previous person. If you regularly change IP address, such as some internet providers will assign you a new one if your router is turned off for a while, then you may be seeing other messages for addresses belonging to your provider, not all of New Zealand. So no there is no tracking of your computer, and you are not being blamed. So just ignore, and if you see old messages they are aimed at the person who was using the internet address at that time not you. Note if you create an account and browse logged in you would not see these, you don't even have to give an email address. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:01, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Draft: BENA World: Query
Hello KylieTastic,
Thank you for your valuable comments on the draft "BENA World". Just so I learn to improve this draft, could you please explain why a content as in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_International_School,_Doha
is approved to be a Wikipedia published article? Eseelalsammarraie (talk) 19:39, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi User:OrlanCV the Other stuff exists argument is rarely helpful and is much more likely to get existing articles removed than new one approved. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). In this case Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) are the best fit to look at. As for Cambridge International School, Doha firstly it wasn't approved, it was created directly, and with a quick look I don't think it does pass notability (see NSCHOOL) and could be put of for deletion (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion). As for Draft:BENA World your concern if with showing notability as the rules stand now, as even if an AfC reviewer accepted a new page patrolled would almost certainly put it up from deletion. As my comment on last review said, neither reference mentions the subject let alone significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

I have been un able to present a Wikipedia Bio for the great and amazing life of my dear Father, he was a true fighter a honorable man, when you Google his name Carlos Morales Treviño, please check the Bio on www.thestoryofarchitect.com blog and www.storyofarchitect.com where you can download the book I wrote both about the life of my father and the most important painting in Ibero-America, of course I understand the need to be encyclopedia related, but remember that both stories come from family albums and documents, so if you want to start a Wikipedia of the Painting, you need to ask yourself the following: Is the Painting real? Yes, was it painted by Miguel Cabrera? Yes, Was Miguel Cabrera an uneducated Indian? Yes, Was this Painting his First? Yes its Certified, Was Miguel Cabrera a Protégée of Bishop Pantaleon Alvarez? Yes, Was Pedro de Cebrian the ViKing of America? Yes, did he take Paintings from Church from Miguel Cabrera to his House?

- Hi Carmors I'm sorry for your loss but you miss understand the purpose of Wikipedia. You have a clear Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and blogs and books you have read are not independent reliable sources. Also this is so muddled what does "Carlos Morales Treviño" have to do with "Miguel Cabrera"? You need to look at what you have been submitting a wall of text, and ask is this readable - no it's not. For this to be acceptable you would need to break the text apart to be readable and add independent reliable sources. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:20, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Premature undoing of revisions
Your talk page has a disclaimer: "I'm often busy with work and other real-life matters so may not respond quickly." Given this fact, one would expect that you would reciprocate the understanding you expect of others in this regard. Clearly this is a one-way street.
Just dropping you a line to let you know that it is poor form to undo an edit within less than half an hour when said edit is not vandalism or damaging to the content on the page, as you did at both the Military awards and decorations of Sri Lanka page and the page for its navbox. I made those edits wwithout logging in meaning to upload the image and create the articles later that day, but like you, was also busy with work and other real-life matters. In addition, may I point out that WP:Sri Lanka has long had a practice of creating links to pages that should exist but don't yet.
Give people a little leeway.- ක - (talk) 07:22, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi User:Jesuschristonacamel if you had been logged in then yes maybe, but when an IP editor just adds invalid images (and because they are an IP are in no position to actually create) it just looks like one of the many daily IP editors we get adding images because they don't understand they have to be uploaded. Many copy from other language wikipedias and other wikis, or local computer thinking that it will just work. Template:Military awards and decorations of Sri Lanka is transcluded into a number of articles so I would have just seen 30+ errors flagged in CAT:MISSFILE. Also the articles didn't exist and again an IP editor is not going to create quickly having to go through AfC, but that is an aside as red-links to articles are fine if correct. Obviously if again you had been logged in it would have been obvious as you are the only editor on Template:Military awards and decorations of Sri Lanka. In this case the fact that it was reverted after 19 minutes rather than your 30 is moot as the images weren't created for hours. Also when I originally started tackling CAT:MISSFILE when it had ~14000 issues I found many that were caused by good intention to come back later and fix. I prefer to think of the readers first and not have pages with errors etc. Lastly and most importantly it's a no harm action - in the case it was a random IP edit things are left good, in the case someone forgets to make the images things are left good, in the case where the images are created as intended it takes 2 seconds to revert and all is good.

A few minutes back I have submitted a request to publish a page in Wikipedia having the name, People's Reporter Bengali but unfortunately, the request got declined. May I please request to have the reason behind the action of declination and as well as I want to make a request to help me to publish the above-said page (People's Reporter Bengali) in Wikipedia which will bring an edge of prestigious value to our News Portal which has been running since more than 4 years now. Our official news portal site can be reached at https://peoplesreporter.in/
Looking forward to you eagerly to get help in resolving the issue and publish the page successfully.

Significance
How many Followers must a Twitch Account have to be considered "significant for Wikipedia"? As there are not many sources, the sources avaliable are obviously not independent of the subject... Isn't wiki also meant to be a melting pot of information? Greetings! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adulescens (talk • contribs) 22:05, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Adulescens the number of followers has no significance to Wikipedia notability - see Wikipedia:Notability (people) for what is required for people. In general all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). So someone could have 10million followers but if no one outside of the platform/fanbase notices they would still not be notable. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 22:12, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- Oh well, this is kinda sad... :(
- Hi Adulescens I didn't look and hadn't heard of them before but if they have 422K followers it's still possible they could have had enough articles written about them. It's just that followers itself is not a metric we use - Wikipedia certainly has some YouTubers with around that number of subs and an article.... it just depends on if the they have done things to make the world autside the platform notice.

Wetherspoons
I edited Wetherspoons page and may have inadvertently deleted a link to an image or something like that but the basics of my changes were sound and have been reverted twice so would welcome you salvaging the justified changes I made and correct any invalid format change(s).
The page heading should be changed to Wetherspoon which you [probably] have access permissions to do.
Wetherspoons is just pub talk lingo or a colloquialism. Wetherspoon's, using the possessive apostrophe, is a suitable alternative that I amended every textual Wetherspoons in the document to read.
You are clearly a more committed / experienced editor / invigilator than me so help you can make this topic page less of a laughing stock with its used of colloquial rather than office company terminology.

- Hi 86.142.115.135 what Wikipedia uses for names is the 'common name' see WP:COMMONNAME. Also on a quick side note its not just a colloquialism but the original Wetherspoon pub was called "Wetherspoons" in 1980. It wasn't just the image you broke but changing the title of the sources such as the first instance was [22] where The Independent uses "Wetherspoons". hence your changing "every textual Wetherspoons" caused multiple factual errors. You also added "Wetherspoon's" to the alternative branding which I have never seen, doing some googling "Wetherspoon" and "Wetherspoons" are very common but "Wetherspoon's" much less common, and even some "Wetherspoons'". Per WP:COMMONNAME I think it's correct at the moment, but Wikipedia works by consensus so the thing to do is start the discussion on the article talk page, and/or see WP:RM#CM for starting a requested move. Lastly any change needs to be in content not a search replace. Not only does the second change actual source titles, and break images it's easy to break other things, such as links or quotes from written works. A last option to the two above is to ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse where lots of experienced editors could see and reply. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:59, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
For the Ha Tuyen
Accept my draft please. Joefrance1995 (talk) 13:10, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
- Joefrance1995 no article will be accepted with no reliable sources - you had none, and have not added any. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS).

Tattini Boots Copyright
Thank you for devoting your time to reviewing this recently submitted article: Tattini Boots. I wanted to reach back due to the mark of "Speedy Deletion" and exclaim that copyrighted content has been rewrote in personal translation vs. direct copy and hope to reach a resolution.
Thank you, Equestrian0 (talk) 21:22, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Equestrian0 thanks for the re-write - I've removed the speedy deletion and just requested an admin removes the copyright issue from the public history. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 21:25, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks KylieTastic! I have a more general question if you do find one more free moment to grant me. If I desired to dive deeper into the product information of the company (beyond what the credible sources) provide; can I quote directly from the hosts website? (www.TattiniBoots.com).
Equestrian0 (talk) 21:26, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hey Equestrian0 yes some information can be taken from a companies website but firstly not long quotes due to copyright and secondly for new articles the main thing is to show notability, in this case Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). I would concentrate on making sure that the company has independent reliable sources first, and if shown to be notable other information can be added. Hope that makes sense, cheers KylieTastic (talk) 21:31, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks KylieTastic I was assuming the same! I will keep it short and sweet for now until approval and allow other information to be added down the line through further contributions. Thank you. I am also being recommended to move this to "Draft". Can you handle this for me?

My article about Carlos Camino keeps getting declined by you
Hello, I'm user:kenadams1138 and you keep declining my article about Draft:Carlos Camino because "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article". I think this is wrong. I have given so many valuable references that show this person is a well known actor in Spain. There are articles about him, his legit iMdb page, news about his upcoming projects, interviews on TV, etc. How can this person with these many valuable references cannot qualify for a wikipedia page? Please reconsider your decision to decline and please let this article be published on wikipedia. Thank you — Preceding undated comment added 11:44, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Kenadams1138 all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS) - in this case as the decline notice says it's Wikipedia:Notability (people) that you need to show they meet. IMDB is not a reliable source as it is user content, so the amazon page that takes the content from IMDB is also not helpful. YouTube videos showing they have done things also do not count to notability. Interviews such as the los40.com source are not used for notability as they are not independent. The variety.com and dreamlight.es sources do not mention them. If as you say they are "a well known actor in Spain" then it would be normal for sources to exist. I see you have re-submitted with no improvements, but I will leave to another to review. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 11:59, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Article not accepted because of lack of references
Hi, there, you recently sent me a notification that the article I tried to publish had been declined due to certain reasons. I wanted your help on what I should do next, because the person I am writing about, is a war veteran, who hasn't received significant recognition ever since the war ended. However, he has tried to make his voice by publishing a book which is now on AMAZON. Can you tell me my next steps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fnechz (talk • contribs) 21:31, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Fnechz all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS) - in this case Wikipedia:Notability (people) is the guideline you need to meet. However if as you say they have not got much recognition then I guess sources may not exist, so you would not be able to meet the Wikipedia notability guidelines. Wikipedia is not for gaining recognition but for articles on subjects that already have it (deserved or not). Regards, and seasons greeting KylieTastic (talk) 21:41, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
Beast Keeper Draft
That all the references I can find for Beast Keepers. But how come did Dinofroz got a page without references? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondo_TV DinosaurKnight (talk) 18:19, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinofroz DinosaurKnight (talk) 18:20, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi DinosaurKnight Wikipedia:Other stuff exists is almost never a good argument as it usually only ends up in getting the other articles deleted rather than help any new ones get approved. However you are correct as Dinofroz look just as bad, but as it was created in 2013 before Wikipedia had as strong a guidelines as we have now, and before we had AfC/Draft and new page patrolers to keep the non-notable out. We do understand that the existence of such articles can mislead people into copying rather than following the guidelines, but with 6.2M articles there are many old articles that need to be improved or deleted. I have tagged Dinofroz as possibly not notable and unsourced for now because I'm not in the mood to look for sources to see if it is notable or not - The difference is that in Draft it's up to the submitter to show a topic is notable, but to put an existing article up for deletion we have to do pre-checking - feel free to do so if you want see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. hope that makes sense, Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 23:17, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for help on Draft: Arnold S de Beer
KylieTastic, thank you very much for your work done on the many references of this article. Without your help one would never ever have gotten the references correct. How does the path go from here to publishing, when or if approved, please? In short, is there anything more I should do except wait for approval? Mieliestronk (talk) 20:08, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Mieliestronk no worries I generally do a quick check of new submission for quick declines (junk, abuse, copyright violations, etc) or easy accepts and also try to tidy others such as your as I pass through. We don't expect new editors to get refs perfect and you have done the important bit, I just did the tidy to help readers and to make dead links recoverable. The article is submitted so it's waiting along with the rest, and unfortunately the backlog is big as Covid hit some of the key volunteer reviewers. I have tagged the talk page to possible attract interested projects. As for that there are two things that can help. The first is finding an interested party - i.e. if there are any closely associated existing articles look at major contributors and ask if they are interested in assisting, or you could try asking the editor who moved to Draft as some are happy to reverse once improved, or check this to see if any reviewers specialise in the topic (check they are active though). Also making it clear how they pass the notability criteria can help - in this case it would be Wikipedia:Notability (academics) - if you add a comment to say meets Wikipedia:Notability (academics) criteria X because... it can speed things up. I hate the backlog but we have few volunteer reviewers for a couple hundred submission a day so for now it's mostly waiting. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 23:41, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
Request on 06:07:15, 28 December 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Iamjhaalok
- Iamjhaalok (talk · contribs)
Hello my article is declined because the submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject . I need some help with this article, because its my first one and also because I can not see whats wrong with it. Iamjhaalok (talk) 06:07, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Iamjhaalok well I can't see Draft:Zigma Paints because it has been deleted, but I assume it was similar to Draft:Zigma. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). You have no references and also it just looks like how a company would write about themselves rather than an encyclopedic article. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 12:02, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

For Advice!
Hi KylieTastic! I recently resubmitted an article titled The Porter (film) after your review. I hope its correct now, but if not, please let me know how I can fix it. It is my first time submitting a new page!
Happy Holidays!
Sincerely, Nate Menninger Njm3ka (talk) 23:13, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Njm3ka firstly yes much improved now with actual sources. All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS) - in this case the notability guideline we would use would be Wikipedia:Notability (films). Also having the CNN ref as the first source is a good move for establishing notability. However to be fair to all submitters I don't review/re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. One last thing from your name above you need to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and subsection WP:DISCLOSE. Happy Holidays! KylieTastic (talk) 12:59, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
