You've been doing good work in reviewing drafts; for the most promotional that are written exactly as advertisements, such as Draft:Webtrolive Web Solution (We put vigorously in our exceptionally capable gathering of SEO chiefs, Internet promoters, lead generators, SEO experts, site trained professionals, website specialists and substance writers who acknowledge how to successfully work in a gathering by playing out their individual commitments ability and achieve an authoritative assignment objective...You should realize that by introducing such a near and dear nuances to our site, you exhibit your affirmation to the terms given beforehand.

The tolerance for `1pm is higher in draft than article space, because draftsw are thereto be improved, but if it eally is no morethan an advertisement, it's simpler and more direct and send a stronger message to get it deleted.

Ted Kaczynski
Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Ted Kaczynski has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. There are a couple of issues with the article I'll draw to your attention:

In the High school section there are two quoted statements which I could not find in the citation that was used to support them. I tagged these "failed verification".

In the FBI involvement section this sentence appears:"His selected targets included Percy Wood and Professor Leroy Wood." A book is cited to support this, which I do not have. I checked online and found https://magazine.byu.edu/article/english-grad-student-plays-detective-in-unabomber-case/ This article says "BYU professor of electrical and computer engineering, LeRoy Wood Bearnson, was the return addressee on a bomb sent by the Unabomber in the early 1980s." i.e. he was not a victim?? I have masked this citation and note in the section's text. You can see it in edit mode.

In the Later bombings section this sentence - "Kaczynski then called Gelernter's brother, Joel Gelernter, a behavioral geneticist, and told him, 'You are next'" - is not supported by the citation given.

These will have to be fixed. Best of luck with the FAN.

Regards,

 * Will do. Thank you for this copyedit, it's a massive help! AviationFreak 💬 14:22, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry to ping you again, but I have a couple questions and explanations. The High School quotes are in the cited article; You can search for them within the source using CTRL+F. I haven't yet removed the "failed verification" tags for these in case I'm missing something.
 * The next one is actually pretty interesting - I've linked the book citation at Archive.org, with the page in question being available here. It seems Kaczynski intentionally put incorrect postage on a package with Bearnson listed on the return address. I removed the comment you left after updating the citation with a link.
 * Finally, I removed the last claim ("You are next") altogether. It was supposedly supported by this article, which just states that "An anonymous caller... said: 'You are next.'" Again, thank you for your copyedit. Please let me know if I've missed something here. AviationFreak 💬 15:12, 18 January 2021 (UTC)


 * My apologies for missing the reference in the High School section. I thought I read it carefully. By all means remove the tags. I think the article is in great shape. Twofingered Typist (talk) 16:12, 18 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I forgot to point this sentence out to you in the Mathematics career section: "At Michigan, Kaczynski earned five Bs and 12 As in his 18 courses. In 2006, he said he had unpleasant memories of the University and felt they had low standards for grading, as evidenced by his relatively high grades.[24] What was his grade on the 18th course? Twofingered Typist (talk) 14:56, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Good catch - The article it's sourced to just says he earned 5 Bs and 12 As, with no actual mention of the total. My best guess is that the editor who added that must've done the addition wrong in their head, so I've changed it. AviationFreak 💬 15:13, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Chandramouli_Gaddamanugu
Hi, first of all, thanks for your reply.

I agree with the point that you have mentioned regarding the rejection of the article. But, as the person is the project director for Akash Missle, there are high chances that people will search for his profile now or in the future. So, I am trying to create a Wikipedia page. Can you help me out in getting this article live? Please let me know what modifications do I have to make to the article to make it live.

 * At present there is not much you can do. Wikipedia's guidelines are designed to separate the notable from the non-notable, and it seems that this subject is not notable. If more sources cover him directly in the future, you could add those and resubmit the draft. However, it seems that at present there is no way to get this article accepted.

Information Need to remove from Dr KK Aggarwal Wikipedia
Hi

we kindly request to remove the content from the DK Aggarwal Wikipedia page which projected in the wrong way. So kindly remove the below content.

He has created controversy by propagating pseudoscience on multiple occasions. He justified Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call to light lamps during the Covid-19 epidemic by saying that "the power to heal ACE2 receptors in our bodies lies in the collective consciousness based on the quantum principle of Ritambhara Prajna"[10] He also claimed that the Indian epic Mahabharata offers answers to many psychiatric issues and Lord Krishna was India's first counselor.[11]

In January 2021, a video of his wife scolding him because he didn’t take her with him for the vaccination went viral.[12]

These two paragraphs need to remove from the page.

 * Wikipedia is written from a Neutral Point of View, meaning that a subject's article will discuss all aspects of them, both positive and negative. If the information is factually correct (which it appears to be), it will remain on the article. AviationFreak 💬 16:46, 28 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi


 * Thanks for the reply but he already clears the information and issues a statement. Better include his statement and add a video link where he justified and clear the doubts.

 * Instagram is not a reliable source. The facts on the article are there because they were reported by reliable sources. If reliable sources have covered Aggarwal's denial, feel free to add them to the article but do not remove the existing content, as it is supported by reliable sources.

Misinformation on Dinesh D'Souza
Hi there, I noticed that you reverted my accurate description (conservative) back to the incendiary, libellous, and totally unjustified "far right". Can I ask why you chose to insta-revert it instead of getting in contact with me first?
 * I reverted the edit because it is currently under discussion, and "jumping the gun" to bypass consensus is discouraged. Please see the relevant discussion here. AviationFreak 💬 16:48, 28 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I understand what you mean. Since I brought the point up on the talk page, I suppose it is under discussion. To clarify: I wasn't actually trying to jump the gun, I was concerned that per the NPOV and living-persons policies, leaving a potentially actionable description in place while the discussion occurred would be less than responsible on my part, understanding that it could always be reverted once discussion was complete. 81.2.93.172 (talk) 16:53, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Gotcha, no problem. AviationFreak 💬 16:57, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

on editing the Amir Tataloo's page
Hello, I've been editing Amir Tataloo's page, and I've read before editing about the translation rules. I've started to translate the Farsi content to English with the references and citing that it's being translated from Farsi according to the guide. I also edited the birth date which wasn't exact and it was reverted too. I removed two parts which I was going to add them to the proper section because it was unrelated to his career. I am new to editing but I'm trying to follow the guides on the website, and this page really needs to be completed because as a native Farsi speaker I see the English page information is incomplete. It would be nice to help me through this, Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamird (talk • contribs) 21:20, 28 January 2021 (UTC)


 * No problem! I reverted your edit because the removal of negative content (like in this diff) is prohibited by the WP:NPOV guideline, as long as the content is factual and significant. In this case, the content appears to meet those standards. I'm always happy to hear that articles are being translated from other Wikis, but it is important that content is not removed or added outside of the English Wikipedia's policies. I'm sorry that all of your edits were reverted (Huggle, the software I'm using automatically does this) as I'm sure there were some constructive edits in there. Wikipedia's policies can definitely be confusing, especially given how many of them there are. If you have any questions or need help with anything, please feel free to let me know. AviationFreak 💬 21:31, 28 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for explaining. I wasn't going to remove them completely, I wanted to bring the under the section which is related. But anyway thanks I will read the guides so there will be minimum errors on edits. At the moment I just add the Farsi translations and leave the current edits. Just this one is somehow odd is it possible to delete it:
 * Tataloo's Instagram account, one of the most popular among Iranians, was permanently closed on 24 April 2020 (see allegations below).
 * This has gone under the career section and has not reference links!
 * Talking about the translations, I add all the references which are in the Farsi version and add < Content in this edit is translated from the existing Persian Wikipedia article at fa:امیر تتلو; see its history for attribution.> to the edit summary. Am I doing it right or is there something else to reconsider. Thanks again for helping me out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamird (talk • contribs) 21:49, 28 January 2021 (UTC)


 * What you're doing sounds good, but I have added back the sentence about getting banned from Instagram and added a reference to a source. Removal of this kind of content is generally not allowed per WP:NPOV. The attribution and everything looks good, the only thing I would add is that spaces should not be included in between references. AviationFreak 💬 22:06, 28 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Hey thanks for guidance, I had a question. Is it ok to move some parts through the page without deleting it? it's just for sorting the content according to the Persian wiki page. I'm wondering if it's ok to do so? thanks again :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamird (talk • contribs) 23:42, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

How?
How was my edit unconstructive? Land was never 'stolen' from native americans. --85.107.75.0 (talk) 00:29, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Land absolutely has been stolen from Native Americans - All of your edits thus far have been reverted, it appears you are not here to build an encyclopedia. AviationFreak 💬 00:32, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Proof? Any source? If you think that way, you could say that Refugees are stealing land from Europe. Are you xenophobic? Why do you hate refugees? English Americans are refugees. You're a xenophobic bigot. --85.107.75.0 (talk) 00:36, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * M'kay. If you're really interested in the seizure of Native American land (which I somehow doubt), Wikipedia has a broad selection of articles including (but not limited to) Indian Removal Act, Indian removal, and (more broadly) Genocide of indigenous peoples. In this particular case (Sing Sing) the land was purchased from Native Americans, and I have updated the article to reflect this. AviationFreak 💬 00:42, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Sorry for my late response; Websites of town and organizations usually are placed in the infobox of the article. I've added the website to the infobox now, you should be able to see it on the right just above "Historical population". In general, external links in the prose of articles are discouraged per WP:EL.

Charles rolls
Why if Charles rolls parents were welsh why is he English, and why was my edit flagged for promotion and deemed as disruptive? Tom k Williams (talk) 19:35, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry for my late response; Per WP:NATIONALITY, biographies should refer to people based on their country of citizenship. In this case, Rolls was of English citizenship and was born in England. AviationFreak 💬 21:24, 29 January 2021 (UTC)


 * well if this is true why is Christian bale on Wikipedia a "English actor" since he was born in Wales and I'm not saying he's welsh .. double standards Tom k Williams (talk) 21:29, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Christian Bale is presumably of English citizenship - Again, the relevant guideline is WP:NATIONALITY. I don't know for certain the citizenships of Charles Rolls or Christian Bale. Bale has a quote on his article that I believe addresses this very issue: "I was born in Wales but I'm not Welsh – I'm English". If you'd like to see the citation, it's located in the third sentence of his "Early life" section. AviationFreak 💬 21:36, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the double-ping, but I wanted to point out that Bales seems to be the exception, not the rule. There is already a banner on his article's talk page about the issue, as well as multiple different users asking the same question you are. AviationFreak 💬 21:38, 29 January 2021 (UTC)


 * exception aye? I like my term "double standards" better, and in Charles rolls case it also says although born in London he kept strong links to his home in wales ,or something to them words ,and if your not sure of said nationalities what gives you such authority over the article..I've seen his statue in Monmouth Wales and the people there are proud. and also my edit was disruptive how? Tom k Williams (talk) 21:54, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Christian Bale's nationality has been discussed and rediscussed multiple times on Wikipedia. All I'm doing is enforcing consensus, which in this case was determined here. Please see that discussion and the article's talk page for more information. Your edit was disruptive through its subversion of consensus. AviationFreak 💬 22:15, 29 January 2021 (UTC)


 * if you read my previous comment I said "I'm not saying he's welsh" refering to Christian bale I was just using bale  as an example, this issue is not about Christian bale he's English I'm not disputing that, it's about Charles rolls where's the consensus of Charles rolls..were going In circles ..what I've taken from this is take Wikipedia with a pinch of salt ..with people such as you at the helm..have a good night Tom k Williams (talk) 22:30, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry you feel this way, but I'm not "at the helm" - I simply follow and apply the guidelines set by the community through consensus. Christian Bale is the only instance I am aware of where there is such a significant conflict relating to nationality. At just about any other biographical article, the person's nationality will be listed according to their citizenship, which is generally the country of birth. I'd like to make it clear that I'm a disinterested American here, and I'm not trying to make any attacks against Wales or its residents. AviationFreak 💬 22:38, 29 January 2021 (UTC)


 * the citizenship of Wales and England are the same since the 1600 under the laws in Wales act, and since Charles rolls was born 200 years after that I don't see how he can be just a English citizen but Wales and England are different countries with different cultures.so why there is a issue with Charles rolls being referred to as welsh ,when it clearly says I kept strong ties with his ancestral home in Wales ,and being corrected by a "disinterested American" with less knowledge on the issue is somewhat insulting..I don't mean to come across argumentative ,but Wales always swept under the rug . this is a perfect example Tom k Williams (talk) 23:01, 29 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm sure it used to say that his nationality was welsh and aloud to be edited.where is the consensus of Charles rolls being English Tom k Williams (talk) 23:07, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It does appear that the nationality was changed in July of this year in this edit. My apologies for not spotting this sooner, and thank you for pointing it out. I have changed the page to restore Rolls' nationality as Welsh. To answer your other question, there is not a consensus on Charles Rolls being Welsh (the default is the guideline which I linked above) since it appears the issue has not been brought up before this. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, and I encourage you to continue editing even though this interaction has been subpar. If you'd like more information on how to improve Wales' coverage specifically on Wikipedia, see WikiProject Wales. Again, I'm sorry I wasn't quicker to spot and correct this - Have a good one!

PlanetarySystemStacker
Dear AviationFreak

Indeed I need your help.

I understand that you had no complains about the article (how could you; the article survived German review; the moon photograph is extraordionary; even the layout of the article was not too bad -- except that the draft mode has some limitations).

Your only complain was about missing references to the software because Image Stacking is mainly for experts and you may not be sure this to be a face article (but aren't the photographs prove enough?).

Where is the draft that I can improve it?

Thanks again!

Tubas (talk) 13:29, 30 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I found the draft! I fill in some references. Please keep in mind that the software is quite new compared to eg Registax (2000) and it takes time that people are aware about the open source alternative and we can add further references. Tubas (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 13:35, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * References added, help about error message Check date values in: |accessdate= appreciated.
 * In case you still have doubts about the software you may follow the discussion of stacking experts at: cloudy nights. Tubas (talk)
 * Looking at the draft now, it looks a lot better. Most sources look good reliability-wise, but I'm still not sure this would meet the WP:GNG. Most of the sources seem to be published by Rolf Hempel, but it does appear to have articles in a few publications. I can't speak German, so I don't think I could fairly evaluate this draft against notability guidelines. As far as the access-date issues, I believe you are getting an error because you have entered a date in the future. I've also gone through and reformatted the page to better meet the Manual of Style guidelines on the English Wikipedia. I would suggest submitting this draft for review soon, as there is a large backlog of drafts (~3 months) at the moment and it will likely take a while to get a review on this due to the non-English sources. While non-English sources are just as valid and reliable as English sources, we unfortunately do not have as many German-speaking reviewers as we do English-speaking ones. I would also encourage you to add more sources if they are available, but only ones that show significant coverage. Let me know if you have any questions. AviationFreak 💬 16:28, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot about your hint. It was the wrong date February...
 * Please have a look on Registax. This is a freeware which development stopped 2011 -- but mentioned in Wikipedia. People would be happy to learn about an open source new development. But because it is open source the developer has no strong interest for promotion. For him it may generate more work than help (ie people asks silly questions but do not contribute to the development).
 * What do you intend me to do? Simply waiting? Tubas (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 19:28, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Registax has a banner about needing additional references that has been there since 2013. If you think it might not meet the General Notability Guideline, you can nominate it for deletion at Articles for Deletion. And yes, my suggestion would be to wait, unfortunately. We have quite the backlog at the moment, and multilingual reviewers are few and far between. If you like, you could inquire at related WikiProjects like WikiProject Astronomy or WikiProject Germany to see if any reviewers there would be willing to do it. Note that reviewing is a permission that is granted through application, so most users you encounter may be unable to review the article. The other place you could look is the list of reviewers, where reviewers list their subjects of expertise and interest. I see a few there who list astronomy. AviationFreak 💬 20:14, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem to wait or start discussion with astronomers. But I do not want to take your and my time for discussions instead of writing articles. I would be disappointed if writing of the article would be in vain (both because of my work to write and and for the pity to others not to learn about this nice software).
 * Would you please remove Submission declined on 27 January 2021 by AviationFreak (doesn't decline mean rejected?)? Otherwise no one will have a look on the article.
 * What do you recommend: simply waiting or contacting WikiProject Astronomy -- or dropping the English discussion for now and concentrate on German community (like WikiProject Germany)? Tubas (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 08:39, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you're asking - currently the page is in the Draft namespace, not the Article one. Users won't be able to access the page without typing "Draft:PlanetarySystemStacker" into the search bar. What would the purpose of me removing the decline notice be? A decline is similar to a rejection, but you can re-submit drafts that have been declined (like yours) for review again, whereas rejected submissions cannot be re-submitted. At the moment, I would recommend asking at WikiProject Astronomy or contacting some reviewers who state astronomy as an interest or expertise at the list of reviewers. AviationFreak 💬 17:56, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

 * I can't properly review the non-English sources, but I will note that YouTube is not considered a reliable source (see WP:YOUTUBE). The English source looks only semi-reliable (appears to be a self-published source) and even then provides minimal WP:SIGCOV. Again, as this software is still relatively new I would recommend perhaps posting about it elsewhere, waiting for reliable sources to pick it up, and then using those sources to support the draft.

Your GA nomination of Strom Thurmond filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Strom Thurmond filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957 you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

NYT Article
I uploaded a copy of the Times article that we were discussing; you can find it here. The link will expire within fourteen days, so you'll probably want to download the file. Let me know if you have any problems accessing it: I'm not too familiar with these PDF-sharing sites. Hopefully the article will be useful: there's lots of interesting information about his rhetorical style (he read "monotonously, even listlessly", "laps[ing] into a drone and drawl that could not always be heard"), what he ate the day before (a steak), a visit from some Italian parliamentarians, and more antics from Senator Knowland.

Levy Rozman
Hi! I did source where relevant? There were a couple of things that could be sourced, but they are true. I was just hoping someone else would add the citations. There was indeed a 1.25 million audience for the match. It only comes across negative because it is negative. A cheater got exposed. Could you look at maybe making the tone more neutral? I do think the info is important and relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Electricmaster (talk • contribs) 18:32, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * While I agree that it's important to state things as they are per NPOV, Rozman's page should focus primarily on him - this incident's coverage on his page doesn't need to cover what happened with Dewa_Kipas' performance in other tournaments or the payout he received as a result. As for citations, the WP:BURDEN is on you to provide them - if you don't provide sourcing, don't add content that needs to be cited. Phrases like "jarringly inconsistent with his extremely high performance" and "demonstrably proven to be a cheat" are particularly contentious and require strong sourcing. The only source I see you provided was one to a minimum wage calculator - per WP:MINREF, all contentious material about living people and statements you think might be challenged need to be cited. Let me know if you have any questions! AviationFreak💬 18:46, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi AviationFreak. The match can be found here. You can see the Facebook post by Corbuzier here listing the 1.25 million views. including FIDE themselves confirming. I think it can be re-added though with some minor changes to make it less inflammatory against Kipas and with said added sources. It's relevant to Levy as the rest of that paragraph is relevant to Levy. I think the sentences I added covers it sufficiently and there are enough external links to not need other outside sources (as this would require someone who speaks Indonesian/Bahasa. I'm not including the supposed 7,000/14,000 dollars won and the CAPS score as it's not directly posted anywhere outside of a few Twitter profiles. --KoRoBeNiKi Medical Coder, chess specialist, retired SSBWiki rollback, hi? 04:42, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree for the most part - I didn't doubt that the claims made were accurate, they just needed sourcing. Thank you for your edit to the page, I've removed some information I felt was unnecessary or editorialized. Let me know if you have any questions about my edit. AviationFreak💬 05:16, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the more concise edit. I understand removing the chesscom Twitter posting but I would clarify more about the match; that being the significance of it being that it was on Deddy Corbuzier's channel with said GM/WIM commentary. It gives more of a reasoning why it was seen by that many people. Also I don't understand the removal of Levy's response to the match as it is directly related to him and it brings the article back to him rather than the match as the article in question as noted is about Levy, not the controversy. The latter at least definitely should be added as he gave a direct response to the match. --KoRoBeNiKi Medical Coder, chess specialist, retired SSBWiki rollback, hi? 15:25, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I removed the Tweets included in your edit per WP:ELPOINTS. In general, external links should not appear in the body of an article. I would be open to using Tweet in the article for a tweet of Levy's if the tweet itself is mentioned in a reliable source - I'm not sure if this is the case though, as I haven't looked at the Indonesian sources. If a tweet is not mentioned by a reliable source, that starts to get into WP:SYNTH and WP:OR territory IMO. AviationFreak💬 15:47, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I can understand the case for not disclosing the money made by either part (although I personally disagree, albeit not vehemently so); however, I still think the view count for the match (both the 1.25 million concurrent live viewers and the 9 million views on YouTube) are significant and worth mentioning. Indeed, it was a record for online chess viewership. —Electricmaster

Seismic Unix
Hi AviationFreak You reverted my updates about the external links in the Seismic Unix page. As far as I understand, external links are not warmly welcome in wikipedia. Anyway, the current links are outdated. I think that it would be a better idea to edit the full article to comply with external links policy if there is a problem but it is not a good one to cancel my update.

 * WP:ELNO is a Wikipedia guideline on when to use (and when not to use) external links. Generally, these links should not appear in an article's body/prose. The Seismic Unix page has a surprisingly large number of these links, and I've started a talk page discussion on removing them. Let me know if you have any other questions!

My edit
The edit I made on Mehmed the Conquerer was not a test. Please restore it. 76.69.165.254 (talk) 03:28, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I believe the way the article was originally worded was more accurate and informative, as it tells an uninitiated reader that the Sultan was a position of authority ("ruled from x to y"). I also personally prefer the wording of "was an Ottoman sultan" to "was Ottoman sultan", but that's just me. Mehmed I, Murad II, and Bayezid II (the Sultans serving immediately before and after Mehmed II's rule) use "was the sultan of the Ottoman empire" and "ruling as the Ottoman sultan from x to y". Most other articles on historical leaders use this wording or some variation on it (in U.S. Presidents, for instance, the typical opener is "served as the Nth President of the United States", sometimes with "from x to y" appended).

Hello AviationFreak!

I hope you're well. I wanted to ask you why you undid my edit on Online Chess. If it broke any Wikipedia rules please let me know so I can avoid making the same mistake in the future.

Best Regards
 * In general, Wikipedia articles shouldn't include lists of things or people that are not directly related to the article's subject (See WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTDIR). This includes a list of chess streamers, especially one with no clear line for inclusion and no sourcing. The list of chess websites in the lede is unnecessary as a similar listing appears in the "Origins" section of the article. The other changes (keeping the short description and image at the beginning of the article) are formatting-based. short description should always be at the top of an article per the documentation, and it doesn't make sense to have an image anchored at the bottom of the lede. Please let me know if you have any questions. AviationFreak💬 13:37, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

On Notable games section of Levy Rozman
Hi AviationFreak,

You removed the notable games section of Levy Rozman, asking why that particular game was notable. I do not know the rules of this website so well, therefore I ask for your assistance so that I may learn. On the matter of the game, I chose that game as it was the same game that chess.com has used to showcase Levy's ability and playing style in their "Chess Celebrities" section. Further in the game, Levy used a dubious opening to defeat a Grandmaster rated more than 200 elo points higher. I find that the fact that it was played over the board in a long classical game adds value to it. From the annotations, it is clear that Levy too is proud of the game. Such was my rationale when I picked the game.

All the best,

--DavidOfThe (talk) 16:49, 6 July 2021 (UTC)\


 * While the term "notable" usually refers to the subject of a Wikipedia article (see WP:N), when used in a chess article's "Notable games" section, I tend to thinks of it as a game that has been covered by secondary sources and/or is widely known in chess circles (with one usually comes the other). I don't have a guideline or anything to point to for this, and I know this is a qualifier not necessarily met by "Notable games" sections of other players' articles. For these reasons, it may be a good idea to try and establish a consensus at some point to codify what exactly qualifies as a "notable game". In any case, welcome to Wikipedia, and I hope this response wasn't too confusing or indecisive. If you have further questions about this or any other Wiki-related inquiry, please let me know. Thanks!

Request on 22:05:17, 13 September 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Bigbattery
Thanks for taking the time to review my article for creation request. I am writing to ask what more could be done for the article, which as submitted is a stub. As referenced in Wikipedia:NJOURNAL, I am relying on the first criterion (The journal is considered by reliable sources to be influential in its subject area). By criteria 1c, having an impact factor assigned by JCR is usually sufficient for notability. I can add that it is indexed by the Social Sciences Citation Index (see https://mjl.clarivate.com:/search-results?issn=0308-5147&hide_exact_match_fl=true&utm_source=mjl&utm_medium=share-by-link&utm_campaign=search-results-share-this-journal) if that would be useful. This should be sufficient to qualify as a stand-alone article.

Thanks for your help. Bigbattery (talk) 22:05, 13 September 2021 (UTC)


 * No problem! I declined the draft because the sources included in the article at present do not demonstrate notability by WP:NJOURNAL. At present, the article includes only two sources - the first appears to be self-published and therefore not useful for notability, and the second is just an institution's biography of a professor of theirs and does not show notability for the journal (both of these sources may be reliable, but are not useful for notability). The SSCI link you provided should be enough to demonstrate notability per Criterion C2 (this is not my area of expertise, but the guideline seems fairly clear), but of course if there are other sources out there that you'd like to add please do so as they help to corroborate and "beef up" the information in the article. If you add that link as a reference I'd be happy to accept the article. Thanks! AviationFreak💬 00:28, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi,

Thanks again for your help and your good work.

Unfortunately your new map (with Piscataway added) is not showing up on the Wikipedia article.

I checked WMC and the new image has an identical filename to the old one. I think if you change the filename and then upload it again, then, when I add the modified map to the article, it will work.

Or maybe there is another solution.
