Re: your comment on my AFC submission Draft:Stay Gold (BTS song)

Forgive me if this sounds stupid but I'm unsure of how to reply to your comment. Is there a template I should use? It doesn't seem like the normal 'replyto' is appropriate in the section. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 00:25, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

User:Carlobunnie - In the future, when replying about a draft, please tell the reviewer what draft you were replying to. I review a lot of drafts, and do not always know which one you are writing about. Robert McClenon (talk) 13:55, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: my apologies. It's the Stay Gold by BTS draft. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 14:56, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello again. I just wanted to ask if you would be able to remove the 'find sources' notice from the editing page that you added to the draft when you reviewed it back in July. I've significantly expanded the draft since then and don't think it needs to be there anymore. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 21:08, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Joseph Kramer (disambiguation)

The article Joseph Kramer (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

orphan disambiguation page whose nav function is served by hatnotes on Josef Kramer

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

HungerStation

Just to replay at every point you noticed in my talkpage, first you said that the references does not show that the subject qualifier for wikipedia article,

Answer: i tried to search for an official sources in the english language and i didn’t find so i had to translate an official arabic pages into english by google translate

Second, you said that the submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources,

Answer : yes i agree that it must be better but i have nothing to do, this is what i found, also the sources are reliable in Arabic so there are no excuses

Third, the HungerStation website is popular in saudi arabia and it must be published at all the times, there is an example of an article that does not have any criteria and it’s still existing, it’s Talabat you can check the article and find many mistakes and imperfections that does not qualifies for a wikipedia article, so my question is, when will my page gets published ? And if there are defects why don’t you give the rest to contributors to edit and do their job ? I think this discussion is not that worth. Wikipedia is a free encyclopaedia where around thousands of editors can correct, fix and add sources from their diligence. I call on you to get the page published again and i would be thankful to you if it happened

Edit: Talabat article has only one reference so should HungerStation also have one ? Aziz bm (talk) 03:40, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Management Move

Hi Robert, I see on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mark_Gillespie_(music_producer) you have labeled him as a music producer. There are no articles or sources that cite him as a producer. I have cited sources and publications labeling him as a music manager and executive. May you correct where he is mislabeled in parenthesis? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bouncecouncil (talk • contribs) 17:58, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

I believe this presumption that the article is about a music producer is what led to you declining publishing of this article. Bouncecouncil (talk) 22:40, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

User:Bouncecouncil - I am not entirely sure that I understand why it matters whether he is considered a music producer or a music executive. What is the difference? Do you think that he qualifies for an article based on musical notability criteria or general notability? If musical notability, which criterion? Robert McClenon (talk) 15:54, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

User:Robert McClenon Great questions. Thank you for opening a discussion on this. I’ll start off first by mentioning that I used the article on music manager and executive Scooter Braun. I used this article as a reference because Scooter manages similar recording artists as Mark Gillespie and also runs businesses and philanthropies in a similar fashion. That being said, neither of them would be classified as a music producer. The reason being is their roles as music managers and executives includes managing artists’ business deals, sponsorships, bookings, and day to day operations so that the artist can simply focus on being “artistic”. Music producers, on the other hand, are themselves artists. Music producers oversee the entire production of a song. This includes song writing, song arrangements, song recording, mixing, mastering, and in some instances distribution. A music producer may either have their artistic hand in all the aforementioned or may also delegate duties to sub contractors. The music producer produces musical works. The music manager is all the business that surrounds the music. The draft I published about Mark Gillespie would not fall under Musical Notability because the subject is neither artist, band, composer, or any other creative. Thank you for hearing my argument. I hope this helps in your consideration of reopening the draft for submission. Bouncecouncil (talk) 19:39, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

User:Bouncecouncil - Well, before I read the current version of the draft, I will say, first, that I am aware that many editors use an existing article as a basis for a new article. I do not think that this approach is useful, because it only works if the subjects of the two articles have the same notability. Second, if, as you say, he is not a music producer and so musical notability is not applicable, then general notability is the only applicable test, and that is a difficult guideline to follow, so I am not optimistic that I will accept a draft for a music executive. Music executives are businessmen, and they are mostly run-of-the-mill, and tend to get deleted at AFD. I will look at the draft. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:42, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Review Pangwali & Churahi

Hi Robert, I don't understand well what you exactly mean by 'project'. I am a native speaker of a Western Pahari language, and it is my interest to collect information about these languages. The identity of these language is very less known among the general public due to various reasons. I am here only to put on whatever I know about these languages, so that speakers of these language can have some sense of appreciation for there mother tongues and as well as familiarise others. There is a huge misconception that these languages are mere dialects of Hindi or are small in number or a single language with name Pahari. That's why I started creating page for each of these languages and updating other pages. I am planning to create two more pages: Gaddi and Saraji under Western Pahari as well as pages on kolong(sTodpa) which is a Tibetic language spoken in Lahaul Spiti, Himachal Pradesh. Updating each page with atleast some basic info on grammer and vocabulary is my next step. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nik9hil (talk • contribs) 19:16, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

User:Nik9hil - I meant to ask whether there is a coordinated activity, such as a WikiProject, by multiple editors. You appear to be saying that this is not an activity by multiple editors, but that you are individually taking the initiative to document as many of the Western Pahari languages as you can. If so, thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:30, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy submission decline

Hi, I would like to address some of the reasons you recommended the AEDP article for speedy deletion. 1. The notability of the topic has not been disputed. I'm sure WP: PSYCH will vouch for that (the APA video series, mentions in popular press and influence in the field as noted by inclusion in numerous research studies).

2. I did add a good deal of new sources - the article is re-written around new the 3rd party sources. All the sources after 2016 are new.

3. I did state my COI in the talk page. I was told that its not necessarily against neutral point of view to be a therapist who uses this model and has attended trainings.

4. If this is notable and it wikipedia needs it, then it would be terrible to blow it up just to have someone re-write it: they would be using the same sources and saying the same things. why not leave it out there for someone else in WP; PSYCH to work on whenever someone can get around to it. There are only so many ways to say what something is, why it is, how it is etc...

Carrieruggieri (talk) 01:30, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Also, according to biogeograpist who recommend the redirect, the re-direct was meant to be temporary until the article was improved . Carrieruggieri (talk) 01:58, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Carrieruggieri (talk) 01:58, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

One other point is that I had been waiting for someone from WP:PSYCH to review it or take it over as suggested by biogeographist but no one has since May. I would have continued to wait but fiddle faddle suggested I go ahead and submit it (he responded to my request for a pre-submission review). Carrieruggieri (talk)

Hi Robert McClenon, Hope you are doing well. Need your attention here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dev Mohan, as you recently rejected this draft. DMySon 05:47, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

User:DMySon - Well, I didn't Reject the draft. I declined it twice as not meeting acting notability, which requires multiple significant roles. The subject had one significant role. The subject still has one significant role listed in the article that it is up for AFD. I will recommend a Delete. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:34, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Brad Chase - Businessman

Robert I respectfully disagree with your comment. I added/rewrote an entire paragraph cited from a front page New York Times article where Mr. Chase (and his team) were a primary focus. I then added several recent podcasts and blog posts. I also edited texted to focus more on Mr. Chase directly. This feedback was added to address the notability objection. Mr. Chase meets the notability requirement. He conceived and executed the marketing for arguably the most famous software product marketing effort and product in industry history. He was a central witness in a landmark anti-trust case. He led multiple other efforts for some of the most famous Microsoft products (Office, MS-DOS, MSN). When he left Microsoft it was an above the fold front page Wall Street Journal story. He was one of the top executives and most famous people from Microsoft - one headline I cited called him a "Microsoft Legend." He has consulted or been on the board of major companies. He is interviewed frequently in the press. He has just released a book with impressive reviews so far. I have examined the entries for his Microsoft colleagues and they are almost all less complete and frankly in most cases less notable so it feels like there is lots of inconsistency in the standards.

I am pretty new at this and trying my best but it feels like I address the feedback and get no credit for doing so. I would appreciate reconsideration and welcome advice.

Thanks Phillipbach33 (talk) 04:39, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

User:Phillipbach33 - I said that my Rejection did not mean that Chase was not notable but it did not mean that he is notable. However, the changes that you were making to the draft were not addressing the questions about notability, and were also not addressing the question about whether you have a conflict of interest. I would be more inclined to reconsider my decision if your statement above seemed neutral, but your statement above reads as if you are writing about your employer. I am prepared to discuss at the Teahouse. I strongly suggest that you address conflict of interest when you discuss at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:21, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Robert. I went to the Teahouse but don't yet understand how to discuss this with you there. I will try and figure it out. Phillipbach33 (talk) 18:40, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Guidance before submitting a page for review

This is Soumyajit Bhar, a Ph.D. scholar at ATREE, Bangalore, under the supervision of Dr. Sharachchandra Lele. I, along with a few of his other Ph.D. scholars, Ms. Roshni Kutty and Mr. Amit John Kurien have decided independently to create a Wikipedia page for Dr. Lele (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bharsoumyajit88/sandbox). We are aware that there is a mild conflict of interest, but we have put together a page based on the materials available on him in various publicly-verifiable sources. Dr. Lele is a globally renowned scholar in the field of environmental studies and he meets the first criterion of notability for academics, because their papers have been cited more than 6000 times and his World Development paper is in the top 10 most cited papers in the journal.

I have the following questions/guidance:

1. Being new to Wikipedia, I have mistakenly created a duplicate page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Sharachchandra_Lele). I want guidance on how to delete this. I want to keep the sandbox one.

2. Please help me resolve the error in the #26 reference.

3. I have addressed all the comments given after the last submission to the best of my abilities. Please let me know if there is any further scope for me improve it.

4. I want some guidance on where to mention the declaration of this mild conflict of interest while I am submitting an article for review. May I include this at the beginning of the article itself?

Awaiting your response. Thanks in advance.

Fish allergy

Thank you for review and approval. Ever since I began looking at the food allergy articles, it irked me that among the eight most common food allergies, fish (and shellfish) did not have their own articles. Researching for the draft led me to some interesting facts, including that skin testing for fish allergy has false negatives because fish collagen in not in the standard set of compounds being tested. David notMD (talk) 17:29, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

User:David notMD - Does that mean that we were missing two articles, or three? Fish allergy and shellfish allergy are unrelated to each other except in both being allergies, but is shellfish allergy one syndrome, or two? After all, crustacea and mollusca are both called shellfish, but are not much more closely related to each other than they are to bony fish. Does the allergen in shrimp happen to be the same as the allergen in mussels, or different? Robert McClenon (talk) 18:36, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

PMID 28239537 states that tropomyosin as an allergenic protein is present across crustaceans (shrimp, crabs, lobster...) AND ALSO MOLLUSKS (mussels, oysters, scallops, squid, octopus), and may be responsible for cross-reactivity to dust mites, cockroaches...! Some of the other crustacean proteins, such as arginine kinase, are also cross-reactive to some mollusks. Based on this, and on the general identification of 'shellfish' as one of the eight common food allergens, my opinion is that one article would cover the topic.

Hi Robert McClenon! Thank you for taking the time to look at the page I created: William Woodward and noting that it will need to be disambiguated from the deceased artist of the same name. I am new to Wikipedia and I am hoping that you might give me a few pointers in this new article creation process. I would like to ensure that I set up for success, as best as I can hope to be, when the article does get formally reviewed. If you have the time, any suggestions or comments would be most appreciated. I also noticed on your talk page here that the page Articles for Creation has been suggested and I wonder if this would be a better avenue for my article to be reviewed and published?

Not just you. the IP solicited two other editors with the same request to by-pass AfC and move the article to main space. I left notes on their Talk pages. David notMD (talk) 02:45, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Robert McClenon and David notMD, I've been patient with all of you and to the editors who gave their input to improve further the article because I believe these remarks can help us move forward with the article and I truly appreciate these. But I find these remarks, especially on the talkpage of the article, quite bothersome. I am confident that we have followed every policy that needs to be done and we also asked plenty of times on how we can further improve this article to improve its notability. Like I said before, all of the accounts associated in this article are ALREADY DISCLOSED as PAID EDITING in the talkpage. Now regarding the IP Address, I use this because I get banned every time I use an account because afterwards, I get banned again due to "sockpuppetry" which I completely understand but how else can I reach out for help in the editor's talkpages if I get banned all the time, right? I hope you guys know where I am coming from. Apologies for this long rant but I believe it needs to be said. We just really need help on improving this article, I just don't understand why things get more complicated. Please note that I'm just new to Wikipedia that's why we are always reaching out for help. I hope you understand. Thank you. 119.94.9.169 (talk) 06:33, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Rishi Kumar

Hi Robert! Could you please help me fix the problems with my draft? I have multiple references about Rishi Kumar and I have tried to incorporate them into my article to demonstrate notability, as requested. By submitting my drafts I did not intend to annoy the reviewers, and I am very sorry if I did. I was merely trying to fix the references to the article draft and get the article published. Could you please provide some help on the matter? Or do you think it is not possible to write a Wikipedia article about Rishi Kumar until (or if) he actually wins his election? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joeinsanjose (talk • contribs) 19:49, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

User:Joeinsanjose - First, articles on candidates for Congress are very seldom accepted if the subject was not already notable before receiving the nomination. so it might not be possible to get an article about Kumar accepted. Second, I am aware that you were not trying to annoy the reviewers. Very few editors try to annoy the reviewers. However, you did submit drafts eight times in 24 hours, which is inherently annoying to reviewers who are also volunteers, and who keep getting two copies of the same thing back on the same queues over and over again. It might have been a good idea to slow down and ask for advice or help. At this point I suggest replying at the deletion discussion about avoiding getting both copies of the draft deleted, rather than asking how to fix anything else. At this point your main problem is that your drafts have been tagged for deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:14, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Please kindly clarify

I want bring your notice here, every club has a fan group now a days, but that does not matter that it passes wikipedia guidelines most importantly WP:SIGCOV and WP:GROUP. Without fulfilling these guidelines we cannot keep these kind of articles. I agree with that.The article Manjappada, fan group of Kerala Blasters FC was first created in 2016 and deleted per discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manjappada, failing SIGCOV. Again it was recreated in 2018 and redirect per discussion at 1, failing SIGCOV along with failing per G4 and G7 of WP:CSD. And recently it was recreated again in May 2020 and deleted per G4:recreation of deleted page, G5:creation by blocked user.

However, if we consider the first deletion of Manjappada was basically for not having significant coverage. And the latest article created was atleast four times the size of the 2016-2018 article. Its well structured than before and has coverage in TOI, The News Minute, FirstPost, AsianNet News, Sportskeeda, Goal.com, New Indian Express. I just want to ask you why the draft for the article is now protected by admins.Yoy were in favour for the deletion of the draft..Please kindly explain to me the matter. Shahoodu (talk) 09:31, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

User:Shahoodu - Explain what? The redirect is protected due to edit-wars. Discuss with the protecting administrator, User:GB fan, or some other administrator. Or don't discuss it. I am not sure what the issue is. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:49, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

About Draft:Pichu

I am confused, are you declining it solely due the comment left by the banned user? Is there any way to get this article on the mainspace as I think that notability has been proven by the sources provided. Can you please help me?(Oinkers42) (talk) 19:25, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

User:(Oinkers42) - I made a mistake in not noticing that the comment had been made by a sockpuppet of a banned user. The comment is still valid that not every species needs an article, and a considerable amount of electronic blood has been shed over the notability of the mythical beings, known as the Pokemon Test. I am willing to reverse my decline. I am not ready to accept, but would suggest that there should be discussion at WikiProject Pokemon. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:47, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, I have my issues with the Pokémon Test, as I feel it is really exclusionary and especially mean to fictional works and other media, specifically Pokémon. I do, however, understand why it is there.(Oinkers42) (talk) 19:55, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Draft Feedback

Hello, thanks for you feedback on my recent draft - it's helped me learn quite a bit about Wikipedia.

One of the pieces of feedback on the draft was about notability and significant coverage. The draft had citations from several reputable independent sources including The AP, Outside Magazine, GeekWire, The Denver Post, a government website, and more - 16 sources in total. Nearly all of these articles are directly about the company or its founder/CEO in relation to the company. This coverage appears equal to or greater than similar companies that have live pages. Was the feedback here suggesting that the sources themselves were inadequate? Or that the sum of their coverage did not meet the notability standard?

The other issue outlined was POV, "This draft is written from the viewpoint of the company, focusing on what the company says about itself. Corporate notability is based on what independent reliable sources have written about the subject." Each point of coverage was from the independent sources discussed above, only the introduction of the company's core functions (what it sells) is sourced from the company. Since I have a (disclosed) COI, I wanted to keep the draft very factual. Does this feedback mean I should try to write more about the company's impact? There are some published independent articles from notable sources that cover unique aspects of the company business model that could be included. How else might the POV be improved to be more neutral?

Thanks, Msklar12 (talk) 20:02, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Draft Declined

Hi Robert,

I completely understand why my draft for the 2020 Meath Senior Football Championship was declined by you. I had created the draft in June and it was awaiting review. However, last week, another user created the same article and was obviously in a position to publish it immediately without requiring a review, making my draft redundant.

I was wondering if there was any chance in getting another of my drafts reviewed (Draft:2020 Meath Intermediate Football Championship)? This is a similar article to the one declined by yourself (it's the competition grade below) and, as of today, no one has published this article. I'm eager to be able to create articles on Wikipedia having made a number of edits already. But obviously it'd be a bit disheartening if I spent a long time on two separate articles only for both of them to be made redundant while awaiting review due to another user creating their own article. If this draft can't be reviewed, I understand. Thanks.

I do think other editors have commented on conduct in the DRN, but have done so in a way that make it not as easily collapsible. This is more of an observation than a call to action.

Wicks Thermodynamically Ideal Engine

Dear User: Robert McClenon,

I am speaking on behalf of my professor Mr. Frank E. Wicks, the creator and developer of the Wicks Thermodynamically Ideal Fuel Engine. He requested to initiate a conversation with you upon rejection of his Wikipedia page. We need your attention on the following talk page : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_talk:Wicks_Thermodynamically_Ideal_Engine_Cycle which was professor Wicks attempt to address your comments on original research. Professor Wicks truly appreciates your volunteering work and Wikipedia's commitment to make peer-reviewed material available to the world. Here's a quick summary he prepared.

"The motivation for Wicks to define the ideal fuel burning engine started in the 1970s with concepts for more efficient space heating. It would lead to practical inventions and many presentations and publications. It also begged the question of what is the maximum efficiency space heating system. It would be comprised of an ideal fuel burning engine driving an ideal heat pump. Carnot defined the ideal heat pump as a function of indoor and outdoor temperatures, but Carnot does not define the efficiency of an ideal fuel burning engine. Thus Wicks proceeded to derive the efficiency as a function of the maximum combustion product temperature $T_{hot,max}$ and the ambient temperature $T_{cold}$. It is notable that fuel burning engines have powered civilization for three centuries, but an ideal equation and the corresponding three process cycle was not published until 1991. This efficiency equation also defines the ideal bottom cycle for a combined cycle engines and for heat engines that harnesses hot water from a geothermal source."

The talk page includes multiple attachments relevant to this work as well as references made by independent researchers on the Wicks cycle. We hope this work will help you re-evaluate the original content and provide us with a feedback on how to improve it.

With appreciation,

Britannia POV Tags removed with zero concensus

Hello [[User: Robert McClenon]

I'm not sure where to add on the dispute page, following your latest guidance. Please note the POV tags on the Britannia page, which were inserted and partially triggered the dispute you're moderating, have been removed (again) by one of the people involved in the ongoing debate. This is neither ethical or correct, given what Wiki says about when to remove them:

You may remove this template whenever any one of the following is true:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

None of them are true and I'm not going to add them again myself (I can't) or ask anybody else to. However, if this dispute is to be dealt with fairly, then surely both sides needs to colour in between the lines.

I hope this will be addressed, Regards, SR SethRuebens (talk) 21:07, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey Robert, I removed the tag for a couple reasons. First, there is no real POV issue among reliable secondary sources because there are none to support the claim. Second, because there is consensus that there is no issue between editors who aren't banned from the page. I believe either of these satisfy the removal criteria, but would appreciate your thoughts if you disagree and would be happy to revert myself. Thanks, PAVA11 (talk) 22:37, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

User:PAVA11 - The two accounts that were advancing the plagiarism claim have been blocked as suspected sockpuppets of each others. The removal of the tag was appropriate. The dispute will be closed. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:38, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello Mr Robert,

I need a review update of Evan Luthra.

I added independant, relevant, and centralised sources to the page. Also, I removed deprecated ones like DailyMail.

Admissibility criteria of Wikipedia for particulars requires at least 2 relevant sources where the subject is the main element. Thus, I think he meets this.

Thanks Fayssaloss (talk) 15:05, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

User:Fayssaloss - There are myths in Wikipedia about sources, including a myth that the addition of more sources is the way to get a draft accepted.

Coactive and halogen nonmetals

G’day Robert McClenon

I write to gauge your thoughts about a proposal to change the nonmetal categories appearing in our periodic table from {reactive nonmetals} and {noble gases} to {coactive nonmetals} {halogen nonmetals} and {noble gases}

thank you, Sandbh (talk) 08:15, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

*     *     *

Context. There has been some discussion about nonmetal categories at WP:ELEMENTS.

I suspect most active members of that project (including me) would agree to divide the reactive nonmetals i.e. the nonmetals other than the noble gases, into two relatively clear and self-descriptive categories. However, since the WP periodic table was created, we haven't found a good way of doing this.

I caveat the expression "relatively clear" by what we say in our periodic table article:

"Placing elements into categories and subcategories based just on shared properties is imperfect. There is a large disparity of properties within each category with notable overlaps at the boundaries, as is the case with most classification schemes."

That said, didactically speaking, the use of "natural" classes or clusters to organise information supports content processing.

In Wikipedia history, the categories of "other nonmetals" and halogens are the two most enduring nonmetal categories used in our periodic table. That was until we started complaining about what a non-informative category name "other nonmetals" was.

Now, the halogen category is consistent with the traditional aspect of teaching the periodic table by contrasting the alkali metals with the halogens.

Long story short, we don’t currently have a halogen category because we weren't able to satisfactorily characterise the other nonmetals as something other than {other nonmetals}. So we decided that they and the halogen nonmetals would collectively be the reactive nonmetals.

Developments. A couple of articles in the peer-reviewed literature have prompted me to revisit this question. The first is "Metals are not the only catalysts", in Nature. The second is "Organising the metals and nonmetals", in Foundations of Chemistry (disclaimer: 1, authored by me; 2, the scheme I propose is not the same as that in this article).

The upshot is that the other nonmetals can be characterised by their:

1. tendency to form covalent or polymeric compounds;
2. prominent biological roles;
3. proclivity to catenate i.e. form chains or rings;
4. multiple vertical, horizontal and diagonal relationships;
5. uses in, or as, combustion and explosives;
6. uses in organocatalysis; and
7. dualistic Jekyll (#2) and Hyde (#5) behaviours

The first six properties of the nonmetals in this part of the periodic table are documented in the literature. #7 is an observation by me.

Coactive. In light of properties 1, 3, 4 and 6, I suggest the term "coactive nonmetals" would be a good way of referring to the other nonmetals. The remaining nonmetals (F, Cl, Br, I) then become the halogen nonmetals, thus restoring the pre-eminence of this category. Here, we show astatine as a post-transition metal since condensed astatine is expected to be a full-fledged FCC metal.

"Coactive" means, "acting in concert; acting or taking place together". That seems like a good adjective wrt the covalent compounds of H, C, N, O, P, S and Se. For their polymeric compounds, e.g. of H, N, O or S, the connection is to the linked nature of their repeating structural units. That is how the literature tends to deal with the nonmetals, except that it has no common term for the first category. There is also the catalytic conation of "coactive".

The literature. Bear in mind the expression coactive nonmetals is not found in the literature.

That said, the complementary term "coactive metal" is found in literature, in the following senses:

• "…adding a coactive metal (such as Pt, Ir, or Rh metal)"
• "The same set of experiments was performed in presence of other co-active metal ions Fe +2, Fe +3, Co +2, Ni +2, Mn +2, Cd +2, Ca +2, Mg +2…".
• "It is of great interest and challenging to improve new catalysts that consist of any of those components and new active metal component (ie co-active metal, promoter)."

There are several other references in the literature to "co-active" elements, materials or substances, including manganese, iron, nickel, cobalt and plutonium.

In the endeavours by WP:ELEMENTS to nail the other nonmetals, we will have now gone full circle from the original {other nonmetals and halogens} → {polyatomic nonmetals and diatomic nonmetals} → {reactive nonmetals}. Now we have a putative categorisation scheme for going from {reactive nonmetals} → {coactive nonmetals} and {halogen nonmetals} that would fulfil the worthy intentions of our predecessors.

Question: Is "coactive nonmetal" a neologism or is it a descriptive phrase, c.f. "coactive metal"? If there are coactive metals does this suggest there are coactive nonmetals? The other nonmetals category is well enough seen in the literature. The covalent-polymeric, biological, catenative, interlinked, combustive/explosive, and organocatalytic properties of the nonmetals in this part of the periodic table are documented in the literature. Historically, and as noted, the "other nonmetals" category is the most enduring nonmetal category used in the Wikipedia periodic table, until we started complaining about what a non-informative category name this was. Do we now have enough content, in pursuit of a better encyclopedia, to support a change back to a binary categorisation of the nonmetals as coactive (formerly other) nonmetals, and halogen nonmetals? ♦

User:Sandbh - I apologize for the delay in responding. My first comment is that asking whether 'coactive nonmetal' is a neologism, or a descriptive phrase like 'coactive metal', misses the point. 'Coactive metal' is a neologism, and is descriptive anyway. I never heard of coactive metals when I was studying chemistry in 1966 through 1969. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:40, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

I will add that the controversy about what goes under Y should be based on the chemistry of La through Lu and not on Ac through Lr. The elements between barium and hafnium all have chemistry. Many of the elements between radium and rutherfordium don't have chemistry. If the element doesn't last long enough for its compounds to be measured in the usual fashions, talking about its chemistry is a game more than a science. For that matter, measure the solubility of francium astatide in water. We know that francium astatide is a simple salt like sodium chloride only because we know what its elements are. It doesn't have chemistry in the classical sense. Okay, the lighter actinides do exist long enough to have chemistry. But the matter of how to arrange the table should depend on the lanthanides. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:40, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: Thanks. I wasn't far behind; 1968–1972 were my high school years. Like you I'd never heard of coactive nonmetals, nor coactive metals for that matter.

The real issue, as I see it, is a gap in classification science terms. So, after applying the most popular categories found in the literature to the periodic table, the remaining nonmetals occurring in this part of the periodic table have been referred to by a motley range of names such as biogen nonmetals; carbon and other nonmetals; CHONPS nonmetals; intermediate nonmetals; light nonmetals; nonmetals (does this mean that F, Cl, Br, I are not nonmetals?); organogen nonmetals; orphan nonmetals; other nonmetals; and quintessential nonmetals.

Perhaps the most popular of these is other nonmetals. That said, whereas a category name is supposed to be descriptive and informative, "other nonmetals" (H, C–O, P–S, Se) is uninformative, and a non-defining-characteristic name.

Given such a schemozzle, it seems like a small, not unreasonable, step from "other" to "coactive". The meaning of coactive is supported by reliable sources. All the properties of interest are set out in the literature. No new ground in chemistry will be broken. The topic is notable.

This may be a rare case which meets the exception provided for by our neologism policy…

”In a few cases, there will be notable topics which are well-documented in reliable sources, but for which no accepted short-hand term exists. It can be tempting to employ a neologism in such a case. Instead, it is preferable to use a title that is a descriptive phrase in plain English if possible, even if this makes for a somewhat long or awkward title.”

…not to mention WP:IAR, in pursuit of a better encyclopedia.

Further, as I understand it, WP:NEO is about articles, not articles setting out concepts. Here I mean that the content on other nonmetals, or coactive nonmetals, will form a section of our nonmetal article, not an article of its own.

WP:MOSWTW adds:

”Adding common prefixes or suffixes such as pre-, post-, non-, anti-, or -like to existing words to create new compounds can aid brevity, but make sure the resulting terms are not misleading or offensive, and that they do not lend undue weight to a point of view. For instance, adding -ism or -ist to a word may suggest that a tenuous belief system is well-established, that a belief's adherents are particularly dogmatic or ideological (as in abortionism), or that factual statements are actually a matter of doctrine (as in evolutionism).”

Here, the co- prefix is a common one e.g. coaxial, co-operate, coauthor.

I seem to be faced with the fallback of the unhelpful and uncontroversial term "other nonmetal", or the logical alternative of "coactive nonmetal" and—as I see it—unproductive excitement about neologization. Could we not do better than that?

Hopefully what I've set out here sheds some new light on the situation.

On group 3, I suggest there is no universal solution. Context rules. For example, the actinoids may be relevant in a table that includes considerations of predicted chemistry. Or an Lu table may be suited showing the underlying symmetry of the Madelung Rule, and so on. I feel the key issue is to explain the context for the particular form of table under consideration. --- Sandbh (talk) 11:29, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Robert: It seems like a completely generic term would be pre-halogen nonmetal since that is what they are, no more no less. Your thoughts? thank you, René (Sandbh (talk) 06:33, 21 August 2020 (UTC))

Re Draft: Freedom (Robeson magazine)

Thanks for giving my draft, Draft: Freedom (Robeson magazine), your consideration. I think that referring to it as "Robeson magazine" does not accurately describe it, on a couple of grounds.

In the scholarly articles that make up my references, Freedom is mentioned six times as a newspaper, once each as a monthly newspaper, journal, and paper. I have never seen it mentioned as a magazine except in this Wikipedia article title, as you've changed it. I observe that the Wikipedia article Freedom (newspaper), concerning "a London-based anarchist website and biannual journal... which was formerly a monthly newspaper" has no compunction about tying monthly and newspaper together, rather than describing it as a magazine.

I note that Wikipedia's Paul Robeson article describes Freedom as a periodical, and the Wikipedia article on its successor publication Freedomways describes that publication as a journal.

Also, I think that an exclusive association with Paul Robeson is too restrictive. He is listed last in the Editorial Board of the first issue, not listed at all with the Editorial Board in the second issue. The third issue does not have a staff listing at all, while Robeson listed as Editorial Board Chairman in all of the others that I've reviewed. He was not the editor; that was Louis E. Burnham. The publisher was Freedom Associates.

I understand the difficulty of creating an unambiguous name for the article. The Freedom (disambiguation) article lists two publications under Press:

• Freedom (magazine), a Scientology publication; and
• Freedom (newspaper), a British anarchist newspaper.

So I offer the following alternatives:

• Freedom (monthly newspaper)
• Freedom (journal)
• Freedom (African-American newspaper)

I am concerned about some of the other edits. When you removed the hidden label from two infobox items, you introduced some inaccuracy. The staff under hidden|ta1=left|Other artists were editorial cartoonists, not photographers. They were important to the publication, with its visceral illustrations, but the template does not otherwise allow their inclusion with accuracy. Removing hidden|ta1=left|Other writers includes contributors who may or may not have been staff writers; I have not been able to determine their exact status.

I wondered about your removing weblinks in article body. I have seen this in other Wikipedia articles, which is why I thought it was a legitimate practice. If you would, please refer me to the appropriate reference.

Finally, I think your italicizing the quoted material in the lede paragraph is not in keeping with Wikipedia style. I have never seen quotes italicized like this, and plan to remove the italics. An ordinary double quote is used quite widely in American English for direct quotation, where italics are used in reporting speech only for emphasis (aside, of course, from book titles and such that make their way into direct quotation). If I am mistaken, please refer me to the appropriate reference.

Thank you for your efforts and your consideration. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 20:13, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

World Library Catalog likes "African-American newspaper" not "magazine"

Further to this argument, WorldCat characterizes Freedom's genre/form as, among others, African American newspapers.[6] So it would appear that the best title for the article would be:

• Freedom (African-American newspaper) Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 01:45, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello Robert, I have requested help to write an article or page in order to submit my article again. I am not sure if you can help me or guide me to find assistance.

I have already wrote the article but it was deleted in two opportunities, even when i used real and original pictures, all the information about the artist was based on the his history, taking notes from books, interviews and other articles.

Here is the link of the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Adrian_Arguedas_Ruano Draft:Adrian Arguedas Ruano.

I am really confuse about the way I have received such a negative feedback about this article.

I am an Art promoter and I am trying to add a good article to the Wikipedia encyclopedic data, at the same time, I am trying to included this artist because, I have read articles about other contemporary artists, that I have known, but they do not have the half of importance and trajectory of this artist I am referring to, never the less, Wikipedia have published articles or pages about them.

I have never wrote an article like this before, but i would like to learn and maybe I would be able to continue adding and editing information about more artist in the future.

Deletion of Kojo Yankson

Hello Robert,

Pleased to make your acquaintance. I am messaging about the deletion of the page "Kojo Yankson". I am new to Wikipedia and still learning the navigations of this platform so to be honest I did not really understand the reasons for deletion. Kojo Yankson is one of the most prominent radio hosts in Ghana and hosting one of the most listened to morning shows, The Joy FM Super Morning Show, which he has been doing for 4 years. The show has been running since the year 2000 and all the past hosts for the show have Wikipedia pages (Komla Dumor, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Francis Abban, to name a few). He was also listed as of the 100 most influential people in Ghana so it surprises me that you say he is non-notable, maybe I just need to understand why you say so. There are radio hosts with much smaller shows and followings that have Wikipedia pages so I'm thinking that maybe I just didn't create the page properly. I also just saw that there were previous versions of this page that were deleted in 2015 on the same basis but I can understand that because it had only been a year since he began. In current times however, he has gathered a faithful following and is quite well known in Ghana. He also does news anchoring and reporting on one of Ghana's top news outlets, JoyNews. Currently he is one of the top paid journalists at Multimedia Ghana which owns Joy FM and JoyNews because he hosts their flagship show. However there are less known journalists of Multimedia that have Wikipedia pages. Multimedia Ghana owns many of the well listened to channels in Ghana (TV & Radio) and so Kojo Yankson being a top member shows the value the company places on him. This convinces me that it was probably how I went about creating the page that was the issue. I created a draft and submitted it for review and then when I learned I could publish after 4 days I went ahead and did. I didn't realize that that annoys the reviewers. My sincerest apologies for my novice behaviour. I would really appreciate your input and help on how I can properly recreate this page and what I can do to prevent another deletion. I would also like for you to point out to me the specific points in the article that were considered non-notable so that I can correct or improve them. The interface of this platform still confuses me a little so I would really appreciate the assistance. Thank you so much for you help and patience.

Draft articles for Fivefold repetition and Seventy-five-move rule

Thanks for the feedback. I added the relation to the threefold repetition rule and the fifty-move rule for the two rules and resubmitted the drafts.

Just for information, the fivefold repetition rule is currently organized as a section of the threefold repetition rule. As such the redirect Fivefold repetition to Threefold_repetition#Fivefold_repetition was created. Similiarly, the redirect Seventy-five-move rule to Fifty-move_rule#Seventy-five-move_rule was created. The redirects are of course to be removed when the rules are organized in their own articles, being independent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dlbbld (talk • contribs) 09:03, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Re: Your comments on my article about Cees 't Hart ['t Hart]

Dear Robert,

Thank you for your comments on my draft on Cees 't Hart - the CEO of Carlsberg Group (the world's 3rd largest brewer). I am now aware of the COI and have therefore disclosed my affiliation with Carlsberg on my User Page (I am a student assistant in the company).

The reason I wanted to create the page, however, is not for professional purposes. I merely find it strange that Cees' peers (AB InBev's Carlos Brito (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Brito_(businessman)) and Heineken's Dolf van den Brink (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolf_van_den_Brink)) have Wikis when Cees 't Hart doesn't.

I will redo the article based on your comments (independent sources and less directory entry format) and resubmit the page for review. Again, thank you for the comments.

The subject is notable because of her extensive experience in tax policy law, as displayed by her experience developing legislation on Capitol Hill, working in top consulting positions in numerous prominent firms, and her ongoing work in establishing and serving on high-level positions in several notable non-profits. The coverage of the subject has also been revised to focus on her noteworthy career as opposed to her candidacy.

Furthermore, the sources have been edited to reflect a neutral point of view, in that they are reliable and independent of the subject. The sources have extensive coverage of the subject’s career and notable work, and the subject is widely mentioned among several prominent sources.

I implore you to publish this draft, as it provides an important addition to Wikipedia and is a satisfactory summary of the subject’s career and work.

Maybe we should leave them alone and either let them cause trouble for someone else or let them calm down. Thank you for trying. We both tried. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:01, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I just don't seem to have the required diplomatic skills! Deb (talk) 07:58, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Requesting help

Hello, I am requesting your help. I am new to Wiki and have been trying to write a draft on a famous Indian Actor Sean Banerjee, which you have reviewed and rejected twice. In your comment you have written the following "If this draft is resubmitted without expansion, or without an explanation of how notability is satisfied, such as only with the addition of references, it may be Rejected. Since the subject likely is notable, please don't ruin this submission by empty resubmission.". Can you please explain what you mean by "empty resubmission"? Also, the draft was expanded before re-submission. Could you please let me know what else do I need to add so that it gets approved? Thank you. Urmi Mukherjee (talk) 20:52, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Second paragraph of The King Eternal Monarch

Hi, @Robert McClenon:, I have a proposed text for the second paragraph. 'Just wondering if you missed this in one of my responses in our dispute resolution discussion. I thought I still had time to discuss it but the dispute got closed. Here are the arguments for my second paragraph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_King:_Eternal_Monarch#RFC_on_Second_Paragraph_of_Lede

May the choice be between this and the current text instead of between removing or keeping the second paragraph? Somebody needs to play moderator to every change I make because it keeps getting reverted. It feels like my every edit has become somebody's obsession.

Wikipedia sure has a weird sense of justice. I tried to follow the rules; the only lapse being the minor edit to revert somebody's change to the title of the Controversy section while we were in a dispute resolution discussion, but I seem to have ended with the short end of the stick.

I am reverting the massive changes that were done to the Rating section while we were having a dispute resolution discussion. I feel it's fair to revert such changes done in bad faith. But please let me know if there is something wrong with me trying to right somebody else's violation (since I really don't understand Wikipedia's sense of justice). Lizzydarcy2008 (talk) 07:58, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

User:Lizzydarcy2008 - Hmmm. This is a dispute where Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, as implemented, do not work very well. I will study the situation again within the next 24 hours. The problem is that we have an editor, CherryPie94, who was editing the article at the same time as using dispute resolution. I will see whether there is anything obvious that I have missed, or whether the problem is all in the details. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:13, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

User:Lizzydarcy2008 - I see that this is a problematic situation, and I don't have a straightforward answer, and I haven't forgotten you or the situation. I don't think that it is so much that Wikipedia has a weird sense of justice, as that sometimes justice is complicated. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:00, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: And it seems that complicated justice is leaning one way. Editing an article while it is being disputed seems to me to warrant some form of penalty. Yes, it seems I am the one being penalized. I have asked before how impartial the RFC process is and my fear that the voting editors would be partial has been founded. An editor voted on both RFC's even before I wrote my opening statements. How obviously partial is that? Lizzydarcy2008 (talk) 02:30, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

User:Lizzydarcy2008 - Is there anything in particular that you think should be done? I am not entirely sure what you are asking for or about. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:32, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: My apologies for my rant. I'm just tired of repeating myself to the other party. I don't know if I have the right to say what needs to be done. I just want to ask, is it fair that somebody who flouts rules, though she keeps citing Wiki rules that suit her agenda, did not get any kind of penalty for causing a dispute to fail? All those hours I spent up to 6 am for, trying to get my message across, gone up in smoke and now I have to do it all over again, twice, since there are two RFC's.

Hello! Thank you for your comment on Charles Tracy Draft:Charles_W._Tracy. Could I suggest that the disambiguated title is Charles Tracy (art historian) as he does not use Charles W Tracy in publications. I am sorry, I don't know how to change that myself. But I am happy to add to the main Charles Tracy disambiguation page. Thanks for your help! KerstingFan (talk) 13:54, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, thank you for reviewing my draft on the musician page - Gayathri Girish. I had only intended to edit the existing page and based on your comment on my draft article, I have taken the edits back to the actual article page. I have also followed your advise and marked my draft for deletion by inserting the template you suggested and publishing the edit. I see on the article page your message about the article being marked for merging with the draft. Please would you remove that message since the AFC draft has been deleted? Thank you so much.

Reconsider double-submitted article

I am trying to create an article for "Kapaemahu (film)", an animated short film. I originally submitted it as a draft, but when I saw it would take months to review I consulted the internet (big mistake!) which said to submit it directly in create space, which I did by copy-paste. That was rejected because there was already a draft, but meanwhile the draft was rejected because already as article. Help! How to get the article considered? Itʻs a notable film (Variety magazine, Oscar qualified etc) and the article follows wiki format. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imi Ike Nui (talk • contribs) 20:31, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

User:Imi Ike Nui - I have marked the draft as resubmitted, so that it will be reviewed by another reviewer. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:53, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Reply tool

The number of comments posted with the Reply Tool from March through June 2020. People used the Reply Tool to post over 7,400 comments with the tool.

The Reply tool has been available as a Beta Feature at the Arabic, Dutch, French and Hungarian Wikipedias since 31 March 2020. The first analysis showed positive results.

• More than 300 editors used the Reply tool at these four Wikipedias. They posted more than 7,400 replies during the study period.
• Of the people who posted a comment with the Reply tool, about 70% of them used the tool multiple times. About 60% of them used it on multiple days.
• Comments from Wikipedia editors are positive. One said, أعتقد أن الأداة تقدم فائدة ملحوظة؛ فهي تختصر الوقت لتقديم رد بدلًا من التنقل بالفأرة إلى وصلة تعديل القسم أو الصفحة، التي تكون بعيدة عن التعليق الأخير في الغالب، ويصل المساهم لصندوق التعديل بسرعة باستخدام الأداة. ("I think the tool has a significant impact; it saves time to reply while the classic way is to move with a mouse to the Edit link to edit the section or the page which is generally far away from the comment. And the user reaches to the edit box so quickly to use the Reply tool.")[7]

The Editing team released the Reply tool as a Beta Feature at eight other Wikipedias in early August. Those Wikipedias are in the Chinese, Czech, Georgian, Serbian, Sorani Kurdish, Swedish, Catalan, and Korean languages. If you would like to use the Reply tool at your wiki, please tell User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF).

The Reply tool is still in active development. Per request from the Dutch Wikipedia and other editors, you will be able to customize the edit summary. (The default edit summary is "Reply".) A "ping" feature is available in the Reply tool's visual editing mode. This feature searches for usernames. Per request from the Arabic Wikipedia, each wiki will be able to set its own preferred symbol for pinging editors. Per request from editors at the Japanese and Hungarian Wikipedias, each wiki can define a preferred signature prefix in the page MediaWiki:Discussiontools-signature-prefix. For example, some languages omit spaces before signatures. Other communities want to add a dash or a non-breaking space.

New requirements for user signatures

• The new requirements for custom user signatures began on 6 July 2020. If you try to create a custom signature that does not meet the requirements, you will get an error message.
• Existing custom signatures that do not meet the new requirements will be unaffected temporarily. Eventually, all custom signatures will need to meet the new requirements. You can check your signature and see lists of active editors whose custom signatures need to be corrected. Volunteers have been contacting editors who need to change their custom signatures. If you need to change your custom signature, then please read the help page.

Next: New discussion tool

Next, the team will be working on a tool for quickly and easily starting a new discussion section to a talk page. To follow the development of this new tool, please put the New Discussion Tool project page on your watchlist.

Right way to ask question? Here are a few

Robert,

I feel that my effort to use the dispute resolution noticeboard has not really brought results. I admit, I had not read the instructions thoroughly, and although I did notice the others I named, I did not do it in the mandated manner, on their user pages. I have done so now, and hope it is not too late.

I presume I can still add to the article talk page, after beginning a DRN. But I can't change the article, because there is an ongoing dispute? I actually could not find that in the instructions, but I saw that another DRN was closed out on the basis that someone had changed the article, while the DRN was ongoing.

But, my main question is, can I close it (the DRN) out, without prejudice, and do an RfC at this point. If so, how?Truth Is King 24 (talk) 00:52, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

User:Truth Is King 24 - I will make a few comments now, and maybe say more later. You can always publish an RFC. DRN does not stop an RFC. An RFC does stop DRN.

I don't think that there are instructions at the top of the page that say not to edit the article while dispute resolution is in progress. However, the moderator usually states what the ground rules are for mediation, and some of the standard sets of rules say that no one may edit the article while discussion is in progress. That really seems like a common-sense rule, although some editors do not see it that way.

There isn't a set of rules that cover everything. Some matters are resolved using either common sense or past observation and wisdom.

Robert McClenon (talk) 16:34, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Robert, I'll await your further input.Truth Is King 24 (talk) 18:30, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, User:RogerLeLievre/sandbox/Know Your Ships: Guide to Boats & Boatwatching, Great Lakes & St. Lawrence Seaway

Hello, Robert McClenon. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox/Know Your Ships: Guide to Boats & Boatwatching, Great Lakes & St. Lawrence Seaway".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:41, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

User:UnitedStatesian - Huh!? That's even worse than most of the things that Twinkle thinks I had something to do with. I probably moved that page from the sandbox to draft space. I certainly wouldn't have edited someone's sandbox without moving it. But I would rather get stupid notices than have someone complain that they didn't get a notice. Huh.

Meeting Page Notability of List of schools in Nairobi County

Thankyou for your feedback on the page List of schools in Nairobi County. Do you think it makes sense to cite over 2000 items on the article using inline citations in order to meet WP:N. considering this is just a list such as this and not geographic feature. A quick search of the topic can pass WP:GNG as a list?. The map serves to explain the geographical location of the list, but the article is only about a list only. --waweruboyWaweruboy (talk) 22:14, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

WHY: Texas A&M College of Liberal Arts article denied

You continue to deny the Texas A&M College of Liberal Arts article saying that it doesn't warrant its own page outside of the main Texas A&M University page. However, several other colleges (Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Texas A&M College of Architecture, TAMU College of Engineering, and more) have their own individual articles. Could you please help me figure out what it is about the Liberal Arts page that makes you feel this way?

I look forward to hearing from you!

User:Revlib24 - First, sign your posts. It is very hard to reply if you forget to sign them. Second, I do not know about articles on other schools and colleges of the university, but see Other Stuff Exists, also known as WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. Maybe the other articles should be merged into the parent article. Third, did I say to explain, in AFC comments or on the talk page or the draft, or at Talk:Texas A&M University, why a separate article is in order for the college? Did you resubmit the draft without explaining? Fourth, you may ask for the comments of other editors at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:18, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

DRN closure

Hi. With all due respect, can't understand the point of the DRN itself? Where I can find neutral policies-based opinion on the matter? Corvus tristis (talk) 07:04, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

User:Corvus tristis - First, are you inquiring about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Formula_One#Points_in_brackets ?

I closed that thread simply because it was not being discussed. Do you want to have another discussion? If so, I will re-open the case and notify the other editors. Is there a particular question about which you want a neutral policies-based opinion? Do you have a specific question? Robert McClenon (talk) 15:24, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Yes, about that. I thought that everyone who were involved should leave their opinion on the matter, and then a volunteer should have give neutral answer to my question and neutral overview of the case. The goal is to interpret the policies on the matter and close the case with the clear understanding which position is correct. If DRN could do it then please re-open. If not then please tell me where I should address my issue. Cheers Corvus tristis (talk) 15:38, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Somatic mutation

I have only just noticed your note on Draft:Somatic mutation. The person concerned did start a discussion in Talk:Mutation, but put it in the wrong place, so it was missed. I have now moved the discussion to the appropriate place.

Robert,

Hope you can help me recover a draft you deleted. I'm kinda desperate for the work and I have no backup of my own.

I just created {{db-moved}} for future cases where this happens. {{db-move}} isn't ideal for that purpose, since it means that a move still needs to happen. Jackmcbarn (talk) 01:22, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

User:Jackmcbarn - Excellent! Robert McClenon (talk) 04:27, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Unione Giovani Ebrei d'Italia

We probably have posted the same page twice, because the first one was declined. Now I have modified the first one and submitted it again, therefore the second page, the one you declined, can be completely discarded. We are a non profit organization just trying to create a wikipedia page, but it is taking us way longer than we thought, so could you please help us? By the way, we managed easily to submit the version in Italian and in Hebrew, why English has to be so complicated? --Gibbone22 (talk) 19:33, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

User:Gibbone22 - You can ask at the Teahouse for a better explanation than I can give of why the English Wikipedia is different from the Italian Wikipedia and the Hebrew Wikipedia. However, each language of Wikipedia has its own policies and guidelines, and the English Wikipedia, with 6.1 million articles, is often misused for promotional purposes, and so has relatively strict notability guidelines, which include organizational notability. Also, the English Wikipedia has conflict of interest policies and guidelines, and the officers and employees of a non-profit organization do have a conflict of interest that should be declared. You probably did not know that you were required to declare your conflict of interest, but that is and long has been the policy. You can ask about conflict of interest at the Teahouse. Neutral point of view is the second pillar of Wikipedia, and articles that are written by officers of a non-profit organization will not be neutral about the organization. Other editors may be able to answer your questions better.

Your draft article, User:Enviropup/sandbox

Hello, Robert McClenon. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:25, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

User:Liz - This is even stupider than most of the Twinkle G13 warnings that I get, because in this case I only touched it negatively, in that I moved the contents of the sandbox into draft space. But no, please do not delete those stupid messages from my user page. If I get email about them automatically, I would rather ignore then than have to read the history of my talk page to ignore them. This is even stupider than most. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:22, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Well, I don't actually post these CSD messages on user talk pages, Twinkle post them automatically to the page creator when I tag a page. There are some editors who have told me to skip the notices, editors who, for example, create hundreds of categories, so I just uncheck the notify button. You can let me know if you'd like me to do that. I don't think I've tagged many pages you have started so it might not come up much in the future. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:11, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

User:Liz - No. Don't skip them. I am willing to ridicule them. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:26, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Compaq Armada

I deleted Compaq Armada. I don't want to take credit for your AfC review, so I didn't move Draft:Compaq Armada there myself. Jackmcbarn (talk) 17:20, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

User:Jackmcbarn - Thank you. I don't see a piece of paper where I get the credit for AFC reviews. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:44, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

About your opinion

Your opinion in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2020_September_25?markasread=200645887&markasreadwiki=enwiki# was to endorse.But please umderstand what happened here. If we consider the first deletion of Manjappada , it was basically for not having significant coverage and not properly structured. And the latest article created was atleast four times the size of the 2016-2018 article. Its well structured than before and had coverage in Times of India ,The week, The News Minute, Asianet News, Goal.com Sportskeeda, Khel now ,The bridge, New Indian Express, Scroll. Majority of them are the most reliable source in India.Also Goal.com is an reputed international football website So I dont see the point why it was deleted. So the summary of the issue is that 2 inexperienced users created the article back then in 2016-18 period which later got submitted.When it was done for the third time, it got permanently protected from recreating . And finally when a person who believes who can create the article in a good way (me) tries to create it , this causes an issue here. I hope you understand. Also go through West Block Blues.This is also a fan club that does not have enough notability as Manjappada.Still it exist in wikipedia even after having 2 deletion discussion.So please tell me your comments Shahoodu (talk) 05:49, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Unione Giovani Ebrei d'Italia

Hi, it's me again, I've made several changes to the page, adding various third party references. Considering that that the duplicate page Draft:UGEI can be deleted, is it possible now to approve Draft:Unione Giovani Ebrei d'Italia?Gibbone22 (talk) 17:24, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
