disclosed the COI FOR mdex
Thanks, Bkissin for your comment on my draft article.

in my latest edition ,i have discolsed COI of the article. however, altho i have COI, but generally i think the mentions,and the content are in neutral, and i ve cited the sources of YAHOO Finance, AS WELL as Business insider and so on.these are pretty legit media in the industry. as you compare to "huobi","binance",or "uniswap" they are citing and wording more like an advertisement than mine, but still their submission are up and running. that is why, i am not quite sure why is my submission is rejected.

I would appreciate your and any other assistance to improve the article. thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zzz2497 (talk • contribs) 13:04, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Draft: The Scottish Feudal Barony of MacDuff
For starters, thank you @Bkissin for finding my plea for help in the Tea Room, and taking the time to review my draft article. Also, thank you for not deleting it once you thought I copied parts of it from somewhere else, because copying would be a significant breach of ethics. All of the words and organizational structure in the article are my own. The parts that have references are not public knowledge and are cited. I googled phrases and only found the baronies website, which I helped to create. The language that was used there, in some cases, was verbatim from my wiki article. That site was created after the Wikipedia article and at one time linked to it when the article was in the main space. After it got moved back to drafts, the link went dead, and the sites owner removed the link. It’s the only thing I can think of that would lead you to believe I copied and pasted anything, and if I’m correct, I understand why that could have been your understanding. What do you recommend? Grnhrnt35 (talk) 07:26, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

I have updated my talk page to address your concerns, in addition to this post. I know you are both busy and an unpaid volunteer. I would like to know that I have done what I need to do to understand and address your concerns before I resubmit. Grnhrnt35 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:09, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Draft: Jeremy Nunes
This as declined due to not enough media coverage. I am new to wiki and really trying to help this comedian who I'm a fan of and is very talented. I can also add his discography (I beleive 5 separate albums released) and his filmography regarding his Amazon standup special. Would that qualify him? I'm really trying to be part of this community but it is increasingly difficult. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.245.84.106 (talk) 13:31, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest. Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:59, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
 * The template db-afc-move has been created - this template is similar to db-move when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Justin Guerrera's Page Denial
Hi Bkissin, Thank you for taking the time to review Justin's original submission. I have updated the article to include new sources from more well known outlines that you may find here ([Article 1, [Article 2 ])

Additionally, you left a comment that stated, "Justin will become notable when he plays in an MLB game", and would like a further explanation. Even though Justin has not yet been promoted to a Major League Roster, he is still considered a Professional Baseball Player even if he is a Minor League Player. Further, if the qualifier for approval in regards to Pro Baseball Players is to compete in a MLB game, could you provide some clarity into why many of Justin's contemporaries have received their approval and posses active Wiki pages. For clarity purposes, you may refer to such referenced examples as follows: Cody Morissette {highest level reached, Low-A) Link: ; Ivan Melendez (was drafted, but did not sign and is still in college) link: ; please let me know if you would like me to provide additional examples.

You may also find other Mets Minor League Players that have yet to make their big league debut, but possess a wiki page here:(See Highlighted Names).

Look forward to your thoughts and any adjustments I should make in order to receive approval. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read, review, and any guidance provided.

 * do you mind if take this offer as well. Not that I come across food articles often but on occasion.  Another trick, if they happen to be declined, is to add the  tag which will prevent them from being deleted the first G13 go around so keeps them for a year-ish and adds them to Category:Promising draft articles.

Question
Hi, I was wondering, you reviewed or left a comment on this draft submitted for approval. My question is if you are an extended confirmed user, how do you have the privileges of reviewing pages? Just curious. Neo the Twin (talk) 17:07, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , not that it's any of your business, but yes, I am an Extended Confirmed User and have been for several years. Bkissin (talk) 19:12, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , sorry mate I did not mean to step on your toe but I just wanted to be like you and be able to do more in the English Wikipedia. Neo the Twin (talk) 19:57, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , sorry man. I interpeted your "how do you have the privileges of reviewing pages" as "who gives you the right to review pages?" (which is a lot more aggressive than you meant, I'm sure). To answer your question, I've been for over 15 years, and I definitely started from the bottom, fixing vandalism and editing spelling mistakes, etc. Little by little I moved into adding my opinion on Articles for deletion discussions. After understanding what leads to articles deleted and what makes a good article, I started making articles, (some got deleted, but you live and learn). I only started reviewing articles for creation a couple years ago. Basically an extended confirmed user can join the Articles for Creation team at any time, but you'll be successful if you understand everything I previously mentioned.

This draft is a wounded animal that needs to be shot. I have it under review and will write it up for MFD within 24 hours.

I infer that you thought much the same and wanted to know if I agreed. If that was the question, yes. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:55, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Dan Erickson
Hi, thanks so much for reviewing my article about screenwriter Dan Erickson already. It's my first ever new complete article, so appreciate the feedback. There wasn't much information out there about him, most of sources were basically all the cast talking about the writer in glowing terms, so probably that's why the article sounds sorta "puffery". But I guess I was overcompensating with the lack of information. If you can tell me where it sounds informal, I can try to improve it. Or perhaps if it's approved, other more experienced wikipedia editors can take down the tone to the appropriate level. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SeveranceFan (talk • contribs) 03:05, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Template review
Greetings Bkissin, a while back you reviewed two templates I created, for which I grateful. A template I've recently put together was declined approval due to the amount of red links it contained. I personally do not think that's a reasonable course of action at all: if users actually see the articles that are missing, they're more likely to go ahead and create them. Would you mind revewing it if I resubmit the template? Thanks. Wareno (talk) 23:34, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Sam Brown (veteran) submission declined
Hi there, Bkissin! I hope all is well! If possible, can you help educate me on what documentation is needed to show notability for Sam Brown? He has raised over $2 million in 180 days, was on the front page of GQ magazine, is a Senate Candidate in Nevada, has been on 20 major news outlet segments in the last six months. What information should I send you to show that he potentially meets notability guidelines? Thank you so much for your time and support here. I am new at Wikipedia and your expertise means a lot. X72153 (talk) 16:18, 31 March 2022 (UTC)x72153
 * I think the subject passes WP:GNG but Draft:Sam Brown (veteran) is really promotionally written. At this point you need to come clean about any conflict of interest you have regarding Sam Brown. Those of us who run this website are volunteers and we do not take kindly to promotional efforts, especially from monied interests trying to push a political candidate. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 17:09, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * @Chris troutmanThank you for helping me to understand that the article appears to be promotionally written. This is my first article. I am a huge fan of Sam Brown because he seems to be a candidate centered around service, who was blown in Afghanistan serving our nation. What top three sentences stand out to you as "promotional"? I have tried to pull facts explicitly from news outlets. This is really helpful, thank you for your time and education here. X72153 (talk) 18:05, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * No, I insist you answer my question, as required by Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. In 2019 you twice . Coincidentally, the bio in question was another veteran, another Republican politician. Unless I get a satisfactory answer I'm going to escalate this. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 18:09, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I did not think that the write-up came across as promotional, given that the statements made in the article are facts coming from multiple news sources. In fact, the news outlets were much more salacious and promotional (you could even say they were sensationalizing content) for the sake of getting views. I dumbed down the news outlets to just facts.
 * Furthermore, I am saddened and feel sorry (for you) that what I wrote is causing you to have such a bad day and causing you to feel upset. That wasn't my intent. You have not answered my question, about which sentences you feel are promotional. I have told you that I am a fan of Sam Brown and I think he is a great candidate who served our country and nearly died doing so. Not sure what else you want me to say here. Should the proposed article have more sentences and more references? Want to meet up for coffee? Want a zoom call? Do you want physical documents about Sam Brown's service?
 * Well, anyway, I truly appreciate you taking out the free time here. You seem to have a lot of it. I have to run and pick my kids up from school. Hope that you feel good about yourself. Best of luck to you in the real world. If you have time to meet up for coffee or a zoom, please let me know. X72153 (talk) 19:26, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Miss information
The information quoted from the saltwire article on Nova Scotians United, is infact misinformation and a satire (I am the offical agent of NSU). We though it is true we don't agree in how covid restrictions were handled here in Nova Scotia, we do believe that there should have been a government response. The government response we believe should have been based in things like increasing space in our hospitals (permanently and temporarily), increasing pay for the hospital staff, government being more open and honest and allowing uncomfortable questions without belittling those asking the questions with labels like "fringe minority" all the way down to "terrorists". We believe in facts being presented separately to the opinions of the political opinions (ex; fact: the covid 19 treatment though it can help the majority of people, is not fully tested and the information on covid 19 treatment has not been fully released to the public though Phifer has begun to release that documentation. Opinion: the covid 19 vaccines are safe and effective)

The covid 19 response could have been a major win for our health care system through government investment in our Healthcare system and by allowing covid to hit our population slowly. Any attempt to say this to a government offical has come back to haunt those who say it with new restrictions and laws made against them in response, ignored phone calls and emails, a refusal of a public conversation or private conversation that answers questions without pushing a specific opinion. Refusal to look at facts and allow people to come up with their own opinions and make their own decisions with out government consequences based on specific information.

Our fight is not against covid restrictions but simply the ability to question government as a whole, the proper use of tax dollars for long term effective strategies for Nova Scotians along with fighting for independence in the media with the presentation of facts separate from opinions. 64.66.210.126 (talk) 12:38, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello!
Hi, Bkissin,

I came here to ask you a question but I instead decided to leave you a comment. It seems like you get a lot of queries here on your talk page from editors that you don't respond to. It looks like you were pretty active on your talk page up to February 2022 but basically stopped responding after that. As a very experienced AFC reviewer, you're going to get a lot of questions about your reviews, especially when you decline a draft. I imagine this can get tiresome, especially when a draft shows little promise of ever being approved and moved to main space. Every day I look at stale drafts and many of them are in poor shape.

But for some of these new editors, you might be their first and only contact to an editor with experience working on Wikipedia. If you are too busy to offer personal advice, I encourage you to point them in the direction of the Teahouse, the Help Desk or the AFC Help Desk where they might find an editor who can provide them with some help. This doesn't take a lot of time and it can point a confused editor in a helpful direction. Thank you for all of your contributions to the project, it is appreciated! Liz Read! Talk! 00:25, 4 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Liz. I will try my best to respond better to folks. Usually (for my own sanity) I subscribe to the school of thought that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, but that doesn't AGF among the myriad of paid or COI editors that are over in the AFC queue. I will be sure to at the very least refer them to the helpdesks available to new editors. Thanks for reaching out. Bkissin (talk) 15:40, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

NI elections
Would you mind double checking the numbers you enter (62.51% [North Antrim] rounds to 63, no 62 - seems the Beebs got it wrong)? The turnout percentage should be given to two decimals in any case (the exact numbers are available from the Electoral Office Northern Ireland Twitter, ), like it is elsewhere throughout the articles; and similarly for the FPV percentages. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 16:56, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. I saw your note in Newry. Since I'm not a twitter user (just a lurker), the EONI account will only show me a handful of tweets before there's a wall. I'll just use simple math (or maths, if you prefer) to determine the percentages that extra decimal place. Bkissin (talk) 17:00, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I just haven't refreshed the Twitter page in an hour or two, so that's probably why I have the older tweets. Anyway there's not too many constituencies where the turnout numbers are not there yet so I'll just run through the rest if that's simpler for you. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 17:03, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, absolutely if you want to handle the turnout that's fine. I'm working on updating the counts anyway. Bkissin (talk) 17:04, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Fractional votes
Should we really include them? I bet that they're inconsequential about 99.9% of the time, and it only leads to more inconsistent (since nobody seems to bother to keep a consistent number of decimal digits) and cramped formatting (since, well, decimal digits take up extra space...)... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 18:52, 6 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I feel like I saw them in previous templates, but I'm more than happy to round up if you think that's best. (Though I will just highlight the irony of us putting multiple decimal places for percentage and not for fractional votes, LOL) Bkissin (talk) 19:02, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, 0.01% of 40,000-50,000 votes is a few people; 0.1 "votes" out of 40,000-50,000 is, well, far less than 0.01%... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 19:05, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * And also, an example of why fractional votes can make the formatting go bonkers (in this case, far too wide...) RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 19:29, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, I absolutely see your point (and it's more me being silly than anything else). Though, 23 counts is going to be wide regardless ;) Bkissin (talk) 19:36, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, now it just manages to squeeze by on my not particularly wide laptop screen, so I'd say that was a success :) RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 20:03, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Also RTE has them already rounded so if that makes things go faster. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 20:33, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Draft: Jane Kovarikova
Hi Bkissin,

Thank you for the feedback on the article.

I completely understand that a political candidate doesn't meet the notability guidelines, however the article only mentions her as a political candidate, but more aptly focuses on the work in child welfare advocacy as the main focus.

Would removing the mention of her current candidacy make any difference? Again, that is far from the focus of the article itself.

Please let me know, as I'm interested in learning.

cgpartridge Cgpartridge (talk) 22:27, 12 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Even without mention of her candidacy, the tone of the article is written to praise and promote Kovarikova. The aim and goal of wikipedia articles is to write about their subjects in a neutral point of view. I appreciate your willingness to learn. Perhaps check out the Teahouse and see if another editor can give you some pointers. Bkissin (talk) 13:08, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

This is meant fully constructively and this isn't personal as of course I like and respect you, but the fact that you accepted this without even at least cleaning it up or Twinkle tagging it is nuts.

Draft:Hammond Gazette & Il Risorgimento Italiano Nel Maryland
Hello Bkissin,

I saw that the draft for the Hammond Gazette has been declined for the criteria of not meeting enough different sources, so I will get to work on that, but I felt like there was a discrepancy in your criteria for denying it. You approved a similar article (Il Risorgimento Italiano Nel Maryland) that cited a different part of the same project, yet denied this one. As I'm still learning, I was wondering what exactly the difference between these two drafts were so that I might avoid it in the future.

Thanks,

Brendan

 * Part of it is the number of sources. Usually I look for at least three, but definitely the more (and better quality) the better. I notice now that the Il Riso. article cites almost exclusively from the Chronicling America project. We also want diversity of quality sources. Chronicling America and the NEH/LOC are decent sources, but what is said about the newspaper elsewhere in history? What is said about the paper in the academic sphere? Take a look at Articles with a single source and Reliable sources for more information. I definitely understand that finding newspaper sources about other newspapers is a wild goose chase in and of itself, but I know you'll figure it out. Bkissin (talk) 19:55, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Understood. Would citing Chronicling America (i.e. the article about the paper) and then the digitized versions of the paper itself be acceptable as two distinct sources? I'm trying to track down some books in the library here for some other citations, so hopefully I can get those up soon.
 * On a tangential topic, perhaps you might have some advice. Would a list page documenting newspapers digitized and made accessible through CA be of any value? Would it be more appropriate for the Chronicling America page itself? My only concern is that it could potentially become quite long as an addendum to that page...
 * In any case, thanks.
 * Brendan

 * LOL don't say it like it's a threat! I could care less if the articles are there or not.
 * That being said, the biggest issues with the sourcing are that they are 1. Mostly database sources proving the channels exist 2. Not in-depth sources 3. The number of sources (I'm usually looking for at least three quality sources). Bkissin (talk) 15:12, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Cassidy House in SD
Hi, thanks for contacting me re this article. Please see my comment/request at its Talk page. FYI, additional sourcing available includes File:Cassidy_House_(Rapid_City,_South_Dakota).JPG (a photo of house before its original color scheme was restored). And there is this at Flickr, which is possibly copyvio posting of a photo from the National Register nomination, and with possibly plagiarized/inadequately sourced text. But further there will exist local and/or state-level news coverage of its original listing, and other news coverage which I am pretty sure I can dig up in "Newspaper Archive" literature searching which I recently got up to speed with, and/or Newspapers.com searching which I am about to apply for access to be able to use. As I state at the Talk, I would prefer to improve the article in mainspace (and I hereby commit to you to do so), which is largely because I think the contributor (who is apparently the owner of the house, per their userpage) should be affirmed for their contribution as being good enough already. --Doncram (talk) 17:17, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

P.S. Actually the Flickr contributor is apparently the office of the historic preservation department of the state of South Dakota, and there is statement that they uploaded only photos taken by SD employees, which they would have copyright ownership of, so their posting of photo is probably okay. Probably also about the text, which may well appear in the NRHP nomination document but if so they probably wrote it themselves and have copyright ownership. I will address this further and document at the South Dakota section of wp:NRHPHELP, for which i think wp:NRHPHELPSD should be a shortcut. --Doncram (talk) 17:24, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Draft: Canoeing (war crime)
Hi mate, thanks for pointing out a flaw in my draft page. I assume the problematic section was the phrase  as I have no source for that claim specifically (note: I have now changed the paragraph wording to be clearer and less speculative).

I should clarify that while I haven't come across any secondary sources which specifically link the information I wrote about, the speculation that bin Laden's body was canoed is a very common one and present in one of the sources in my article (which I also referenced in the section). I have added the source to an earlier section of the paragraph to make the connection more clear. Tell me if the new version is any good once you've looked at it, if not let me know where I'm going wrong. Still new to editing so the feedback is much appreciated.

Soup Kitchen (La Soupe Populaire de Casablanca)
Hi Bkissin,

On  16:02, 17 October 2022 you reformatted citations from the References of the article. It makes the citations text lighter; however it has a problem, many books I quote are e-books (mainly Kindle) or sometimes PDF,  I do not  always have the paper version. Therefore, the paper page number is unknown to me and I am not in position to give the requested location of the text I quote. One solution is to explicitly write in the reference the text I quote in italic. I propose to do that only on e-books, for the remaining sources, I will provide page, and line number of the selected text. Please let me know whether this solution is acceptable. Thanks

Your Reason for Declining Dawn Smith Jordan draft
You said, "Being a Miss America runner-up is not notability..." which seems inconsistent with existing pages on Wikipedia. For example, as I look at the list of other Miss South Carolina winners in Wikipedia, there a number of former winners with their own pages and most have their chief measure of notability as winning Miss South Carolina. Note that you have to win Miss South Carolina to even compete in Miss America, and Dawn Smith was a finalist in Miss America. A good specific example is Ali Rogers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Rogers). Ali Rogers has nothing more on her page other than winning beauty pageants, the most significant being Miss South Carolina and also was a finalist in Miss America. She did not sing in a Billy Graham crusade, hasn't recorded songs, written books, have an active ministry throughout the United States, and so forth. I intend to continue to add to the draft providing additional items of notability, but the above comment by itself is inconsistent with what I already see approved on Wikipedia. My assumption is it will eventually get approved as I document more, but I contend it should already be approved based on what I see on Ali Rogers' page.

Please can you explain in lay mens English whats wrong with this? Spiceheads is the worlds leading brandname for information, help and advice to the public about NPS, that has sold many pix and videos to News agencys that have been published without accredication. It comes up hits 1,2 and 3 in Google and Bing when you serch the term Spiceheads and has provided cited information, advice and photographs to the Sunday Times. I just do not understand what is wrong, most of it refairs back to the cited main article in Vice and I have asked for help to connect up the citations, but no one has offered. I am both phisically and mentaly disabled, as you should be able to tell by my spelling and grammer. Instead of just rejecting it over and over, why will one of you intelegent accademics help an old guy with dementia? Is it because I am disabled that I am being treated in this way? Or is it the subject matter? All in all I am bewildered in a page that openly says that anyone, can publish or edit somthing, when clearly it is realy anyone with a degree in English that's part of the club. Not having a go at you personally, just very upset, almost suisidal that no one will halp me and I am being treated this way

Regarding outright Rejection to publish an article about a renowned Professor
Hi, Dear moderator Bkissin I have sent a small introduction about a scientist that you have rejected. In my opinion, this is a very and biased action. Rupesh Chaturvedi has contributed much in the medical field that is benefiting to the science community and it will give more benefit in the future. If you are writing an article about a person who has not given anything this world like (I can give you many examples) and at the same time declining a person who has a number of research articles/papers in the famous journal like PNAS, Cell, Nature, present on PubMed cited by approx 50000 times. Besides this as per I know He is the most cited scientist of India's Top Ranked Jawaharlal Nehru university, that you can see Rupesh Chaturvedi google scholar citation. He is also Director of R&D of JNU New Delhi that you can see on JNU website. Rupesh Chaturvedi is in USA Washington DC and already started a Big Startup project in the medical field. It was my first article and now it was last also. Public opinion that I have listened about the biases of Wikipedia, I got it to be correct. This is the respect what we as a researcher get from the common people for whom we worked for day and night.
