Thank you for approving Wikipedia Women Do News Edit-a-thon @ Luminary in NYC so quickly. Ejgertz (talk) 16:12, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * This should not have been approved for mainspace. It's now at Meetup/NYC/Women Do News Edit-a-thon @ Luminary in NYC.--Ipigott (talk) 17:00, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I wasn't sure about that when I pressed accept. Would it have worked if I had changed the name to the one you used above when putting it through AFC, or is it like Redirects, where people posting meetups should go through a separate channel to submit rather than articles for creation? Regardless, good luck next week to you and ! Be sure to look at WP:NJOURNALIST for basic notability requirements so that we will be better able to assess the articles for mainspace. Bkissin (talk)
 * You need to be careful about what you put on mainspace as it is reserved for encyclopaedic articles. Anything else needs to go into one of the other slots. You don't need to have this kind of submission approved at AFC. If it had been presented it in the normal way for meetups, you or could have created it without asking for a review. On the basis of the detailed articles you have been writing recently, it looks to me as if you could move them straight into mainspace yourself without going through AFC. If you intend to write more articles about women, you should perhaps become a member of Women in Red where we could help you along. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 17:42, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Stewart Henderson (footballer, born 1982)
Hi Bkissin, I hope to edit and resubmit or have someone else submit on my behalf? Is this something you can help with? I wanted to be able to record the fact that i had played senior football.

I was hoping to use the following references but need help with the format?

My name is James Morris and I am new to Wikipedia. I am attempting to have a bio added to the page on South Dakota Speakers of the House. One of my family members held this position, Charles J. Morris. Charles was my grandpas brother, so I am his great nephew. I submitted my article on him and it was rejected as unverifiable. The two sources I used are about the only information available anywhere on him. I wanted to ask if there is some way I could submit copies of the article in the 1915 Kingsbury History of SD, and of Charles obituary to you for verification? Our local library has the Kingsbury History that I got the info from and they would not let me put the book on the copy machine because of possible damage from opening a 100+ year old to far. So I took photos of the pages I needed with the DSLR. I also have a picture of Charles sitting in the office of the Speaker in the capitol building that I would like to attach to the article. Can you instruct me if there is a way to make my sources verifiable? Charles had no descendants and myself and my 2 brothers are his closest living relatives. We would like to see that he is remembered for his contribution to South Dakota history. Thank you Jim Morris Jamorr1510 (talk) 16:43, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Neda Danilovic resubmission
Hi Bkissin!

Thank you for the feedback on the draft for Neda Danilovic, I appreciate it. I have taken your feedback into great consideration and have resubmitted the draft for review with new references that are reliable, secondary sources independent from the subject. Thank you for your time and please let me know if any further changes need to be made.

International Hybrid Law Article Declined
Hey Bkissin!

Draft:大肚基督長老教會
This page does not qualify for CSD G1, as it is perfectly comprehensible, just not in English. To delete it is not a loss (it is a copy of zh:大肚基督長老教會), but it should not be deleted under a criterion that explicitly state that it does not apply. —Kusma (t·c) 21:17, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I think this was a misread on my end. I'm trying to do some cleanup of non-English stale drafts, but couldn't find the correct CSD for the job. I misread G1 as including coherent material not written in English when in fact it says the opposite. I'll remove the banner for now, but looking for another way to clear up space. Bkissin (talk) 21:22, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
 * It is quite possible we don't have the a suitable CSD for the job (other than G13). A2 would apply in article space, but makes no sense to apply in draft space if somebody intends to actually translate the page. Thank you for looking through the old drafts! —Kusma (t·c) 21:41, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Non-English articles
Please do not tag articles written in languages other than English as "nonsense". I absolutely agree that they should not be in the English Wikipedia, but this is not the correct speedy tag. Anthony Bradbury "talk" 22:25, 6 November 2019 (UTC)


 * My apologies; on posting this message I see that you have already been notified and, indeed, discussed the problem. It was not my wish to pile on; choosing the correct tag is tricky if you do not speak the appropriate language. If G13 applies to a draft then so be it. Sometimes it is obvious that the article is an advert, but perhaps not if it is Arabic or an oriental script. If the article is left on the CSD page an editor with the appropriate language skill will show up eventually. Anthony Bradbury "talk" 22:32, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
 * and, I definitely understand. Obviously we shouldn't be speedy-ing quality drafts just because they are non-English content, as we aren't giving editors an opportunity to translate that content. However, after several months of inactivity, it doesn't seem like the original editor is going to make the necessary changes, hence my desire to clean things up. G13 is probably as close as we're going to get right now. Until then, the articles could probably be tagged with a notice to translate. Unfortunately, even Template:Not English is not for use with Drafts, so they are stuck there until the six-month period elapses. Bkissin (talk) 14:30, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Question regarding decline
I'm confused as to how this sandbox was declined for the first two reasons used ("It is primarily designed to threaten, disparage or attack its subject" and "It is a biography of a living person that is unreferenced and entirely negative in tone"). Can you explain how you came to the conclusion that it is a BLP and an attack page?-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:47, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I chose the vandalism decline (the third reason on the list). Bkissin (talk) 17:50, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, so all three are automatically included in the 'declined due to vandalism' template? Thanks for explaining; I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing any revisions that might require deletion if the first two decline rationales were correct.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:01, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi I have been trying to submit my sand box and you keep declining it. I read it over and there was nothing wrong with the second submission so please fix it when you get the chance. Thank You! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuerst26hj (talk • contribs) 13:57, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hailey, Wikipedia is not the place for dank memes! You can do that anywhere else on the internet. Your sandbox is an area where you can test out your wikipedia skills but you don't have to submit it as an article.

Belle Delphine AfC
Hi. You declined the AfC submission for the Belle Delphine draft on the basis that it doesn't clear WP:ONEEVENT. I was just wondering what is the "one event" that sources (reliable ones, as you said in your declining message) covered? There is pretty clearly more than one event written about in the draft, as well as her early experimentation with an aesthetic that would pre-date her stunt events (and also her reception online). So, I definitely would like to know what's the "one event" you're talking about here. Thanks Soulbust (talk) 01:08, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Reliable sources for Al Jazeera’s new source
You have rejected the draft for Al Jazeera English new TV show The Bottom Line citing the lack of reliable sources. In this case I have cited Al Jazeera on this and this should be sufficient since the show is by Al Jazeera. Don’t you agree? Simpatico qa (talk) 15:40, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't agree, hence the reason I rejected it. Cited sources need to be independent of their subject in order to best achieve neutral point of view and establish notability. Of course Al Jazeera thinks the show is notable; it's on their network! Find reliable sources that aren't from the website of the show or Al Jazeera and then we'll talk about accepting the draft. Alternatively, you could try with another AfC reviewer. Bkissin (talk) 02:02, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Lego Creator Expert
Hi! I'm new here and I noticed my article was denied. I was just wondering about how it had a lack of sufficient content of an article. In the Lego Wikiproject, dozens of articles have far less content than Creator Expert and they're still subsided from this issue. Also, Lego Creator is technically called "Creator 3-in-1" on the LEGO website, and, in my opinion, both have sufficient content to be separate articles after research on both. One article (Lego Modular Buildings) is a subtheme of Creator Expert itself and even happened to receive GA nomination a while back with much less content.

I know I really shouldn't stick my two sense in, being new to Wikipedia and trying to backlash an experienced reviewer. I was just wondering this issue in comparison to other articles and how LEGO itself heavily advertises, promotes, and mentions the subtheme (mainly in designer videos, events, and product-work). If it could be re-reviewed on this reason alone, thanks! FredModulars (talk) 17:13, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Delete Rob Meyer?
Hey Bkissin, thanks for your help and email. Yes, I don't have any real updates to the Rob Meyer page so I guess go ahead and delete?

Draft Rejection
Hello, there. You declined my draft, Draft:2b2t, a few days ago. Could I have an explanation please? The topic is undeniably notable, without a doubt, having several sources from well-known gaming websites and even mainstream media like The Independent and Newsweek, as well as a Pearson Education article. I completely disagree with this rejection. On top of its sources, I believe its well-sourced and referenced. You've accepted so many other drafts that are not even close to as notable as this topic. The draft has had over a thousand views since its creation in September and it's not even in mainspace. I'm not 100% familiar with the process of drafting. Now that it's rejected, is it possible for it to be accepted now? Anyways, please consider what I've written, as well as 's opinion on the draft's talk page. -Melofors (talk) 02:49, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Draft denial for notability
Hi, Bkissin! I'd like to talk about the denial of the draft "Porno Massacre". I got that the issue was about notability for missing reliable sources. We have this, however, in brazilian web pages already quoted. Isn't that enough once we passed the avaliation on Wikipedia in portuguese? I'm a member of the issued band and it is very important for us... UPDATE: Just explaining the referenced sources to you: I think I can say G1 is the most important brazilian news website. We have one from São Paulo City Hall, a important museum and some music directed websites. I can say that there is brazilian bands on Wikipedia with less reliable sources than Porno Massacre... Since I last updated asking you to reconsider, there is no news... Looks like the next avaliator should be you again. Hope you can help!

Widder, Ontario
I am not clear as to why the source material has been declared unreliable. The author is an associate professor of history at University College of the North in Thompson, Manitoba with a PhD. He has published numerous articles in scholarly journals including Urban History Review, Journal of Urban History, Historical Studies in Education and so forth. The source material in this instance was privately published, admittedly, but given the author's track-record it would seem that it would hardly fall in the 'unreliable' category. Clarification would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LambtonClio (talk • contribs) 16:18, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * First, Draft:Widder, Ontario relies upon a single source: a non-notable book by a non-notable author published by a non-notable press. You're asking Wikipedia to accept that content as the sole proof of your assertions? There are sources like this and this that I found in a quick five minutes of searching online. If you went to a library you could find more. Second, I don't think the subject passes our notability criteria for places, which is the standard you have to prove for inclusion. I posit that you could develop a couple decent sentences in the article about Lambton County which might someday be a standalone article per WP:SPINOUT. As you are a new editor, I don't think you understand how we write this encyclopedia. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 16:32, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Hero Elementary
Can you review this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Hero_Elementary? Demond Anthony (talk) 18:01, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello ! It hasn't been submitted yet, so I can't make a decision on it, but I can give you my two cents. It's probably notable as a topic, but it doesn't have nearly enough reliable independent sources to accept at this point. One sentence does not make an article, and it's probably WP:TOOSOON to accept. I would say keep working on this in draft space, collect good references and resources about the show, then when it's ready (or the time gets closer to the release date) we can re-assess your draft.

Articles for Creation
Hey, I noticed you placed the AfC tag on a number of different articles, and they all showed up as "veryold" and the AfC log now shows as "overloaded." My guess is these were about to be deleted but had never actually been nominated for AfC, possibly due to an error, and you saved them, but the timestamp went back to their original creation date? I don't consider this a problem at all, I'm just trying to figure out why they weren't tagged as being nominated for AfC today. I've reviewed as many of them as I feel confident reviewing to try and clear the backlog, though! SportingFlyer  T · C  12:05, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks ! You are absolutely right. I was using the AfC review tool, and there didn't seem to be an option to change the date of submission, only who was submitting. I try to use the option to submit as the last submitter, but I'm not sure if they get notified when it has been submitted (and if it's a borderline G13 candidate, is the original editor even paying attention). I don't know if there's a bot or a diligent user who has gone in and fixed the dates in the past, but I appreciate your judgement calls on the ones you reviewed!

Draft:Focus Softnet
Hi Bkissin,

Thank you for providing your inputs. I want a bit more help here if you don’t mind.

I have posted article on Focus Softnet, which Wikipedia editors had declined it due to insufficient information. Since, I did not manage to find more information that time, I had to stop working on it for the moment.

Now that, I have found some latest news about the company, I would like to continue with the page creations.

But before that, I would like to share the available news links with you so that you can guide me on their possibility of being accepted in my wiki article.

I will be glad if you can review my drafts
Hi Bkissin (talk),

I submitted two drafts and I would be happy if you can have a review on the drafts for corrections. Draft:Trending Yoruba Names and Draft:Omotola Bello Barakat

Thank you for the review and I am hoping for approval. Goldie19 (talk) 05:36, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi ! Thanks for reaching out. At this point, I would probably end up declining both drafts. Here is why:


 * 1) For Draft:Trending Yoruba Names, Wikipedia is not a website that covers trending topics like Twitter or Buzzfeed. If you wanted to talk about common Yoruba names in an academic way (This is why names like Oluwatosin are popular, because it means ____ in Yoruba) then you might want to add to the existing article we have on Yoruba names.
 * 2) As for Draft:Omotola Bello Barakat, Wikipedia has policies for musicians and singers:
 * Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.

''Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. Singers and musicians who are only notable for participating in a reality television series may be redirected to an article about the series, until they have demonstrated that they are independently notable.''
 * 1) * This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries except for the following:
 * 2) ** Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves, and all advertising that mentions the musician or ensemble, including manufacturers' advertising.
 * 3) ** Works consisting merely of trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories.
 * 4) ** Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar), in most cases.
 * 5) Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.
 * 6) Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.
 * 7) Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.
 * 8) Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).
 * 9) Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles. This should be adapted appropriately for musical genre; for example, having performed two lead roles at major opera houses. Note that this criterion needs to be interpreted with caution, as there have been instances where this criterion was cited in a circular manner to create a self-fulfilling notability loop (e.g. musicians who were "notable" only for having been in two bands, of which one or both were "notable" only because those musicians had been in them.)
 * 10) Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
 * 11) Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.
 * 12) Has won first, second or third place in a major music competition.
 * 13) Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read the policy and notability guideline on subjects notable only for one event, for further clarifications).
 * 14) Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
 * 15) Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.

Does Omotola meet any of those criteria or guidelines? I don't see that she does right now. If she does, add that information (with a proper reference, of course)

Best of luck!

In regards to the David Gokhshtein
Hello! I was showing some Wikipedia edits off on my twitter and they caught the attention of David Gokhshtein himself who needed help in the editing of his Wikipedia article.

I obliged always ready to help someone in need and all for the free and decentralized information on the web this sit provides. I worked on reorganizing links as well as making it look more formal. I should also tell you that he did pay me for this however this was of his own volition and I did not ask for it he just wanted to thank me for my help. I am unsure if this makes him my employer and me a paid editor? By technicality but either way I'm disclosing this information.

According to another wikipedian I've heard his article was declined as it did not meet standards of notability? Now I got the informal complaint and I have worked my best to fix that. I also believe I have.

However I see no reason why he would not be notable? He has several official sources backing up his name. And not only is he running for office I'm the 2020 congressional elections but his name is even mentioned in the wikipedia article as one of the runners.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections_in_New_York

(Link provided above, look under district 1)

This in my opinion not only speaks for his notoriety but should also address the fact that this is a chance to add missing information to this website.

I know I'm a very new editor but I have a passion for this already and I would appreciate any answers to why this article was and is being declined on that basis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jessica_Cisneros
Hello, Bkissin.

I'm enthusiastic about primary challengers, which is why I wrote the Cisneros article. I live in New Orleans and work for an environmental nonprofit but am not working for the campaign. I think other people might be interested in all the research I have compiled. I submitted a draft with 23 citations from national articles that are about her candidacy, including CNN, CBS News, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Atlantic. I believe she meets the general notability guidelines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline

Please review these links: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/10/jessica-cisneros-justice-democrats-aoc/599941/ https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/23/politics/jessica-cisneros-democrat-intern-henry-cuellar-trnd/index.html https://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-congressmans-former-intern-challenges-him-in-democratic-primary/

What would I need to add to legitimize the page in your eyes? I went to the wikipedia help chat, and they said I should try talking to you because they thought the articles I provided possibly met the threshold.

does Wikipedia really want new contributors?
I have edited some pages, and last year came up with a topic that does not exist. (cybercovernance or cyber-governance). The whole Wikipedia experience is restricted to insiders. I am very frustrated. I run an IT business, I can get elected to corporate boards, I am convinced that I could overcome the technobabble and exclusivity of Wikipedia. However I do not have the will or the time.

This is an environment for the initiated and those who have time to kill.

As an outsider, I find the learning curve too steep and the barriers to entry too high, so I will probably give up.

This is sad, since I am technically competent and have information to share. Just no way to share it in a reasonable way on this platform. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.140.72.66 (talk) 20:52, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:CIR. The barriers to entry are a willingness to learn and a history of useful edits. Rather than climb that learning curve, you've chosen to foolishly complain to one of the insiders you accuse of holding you back. I surmise you're just a shameless self-promoter disappointed that your dreck doesn't fly here; maybe I'm wrong. Like any institution, it's designed for the insiders. If you cannot become an insider (and many do, everyday) then you don't belong here. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 21:02, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry you feel that way. The reason the article was recently deleted is that it had not been edited or fixed in six months and just sat there, languishing in the draft space. In my mind, there were a few things holding back the article. First was that the sources provided weren't in inline citations next to the information they reference. Additionally, we have articles on Internet governance and Technology governance if you'd like to contribute your expertise there. Bkissin (talk) 21:12, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Declined Draft: Clara Michelson
Dear Bkissin,

I want to inform you that there is also an article in the German wikipedia about Clara Michelson at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clara_Michelson. Perhaps you rethink your decision about the draft article Clara Michelson in the English Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Clara_Michelson.

All the best.

91.22.77.225 (talk) 21:51, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Just because the same article exists on one Wikipedia does not mean that it automatically makes it on another. In the five sentence article that currently exists, there is no explanation as to why she is important or how she fits WP:NBIO or WP:GNG. Is she an author? Just someone who died in the Shoah? You left a link to the Leo Baeck institute, but not only didn't you format the reference correctly (if you used that as a reference), we also don't know what information you grabbed from that reference. So at this point, no, I don't think I'm going to rethink my decision. Bkissin (talk) 21:56, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Orange-blue coalition moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Orange-blue coalition, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Draft: Sir Thomas Saunders
Thanks for your comment regarding the draft article on Sir Thomas Saunders

To briefly summarize the Aylesbury elections of 1640, I'll quote from an article I wrote this year on Sir Thomas Saunders.

We find a reference to a Certificate of Return from April 28, 1640 to Sir Thomas Saunders to be ‘one of the burgesses for the borough of Aylesbury5. It is worth noting the exact terms of the entry, as the same terms are used to describe the election to Parliament of others in Buckinghamshire, including Bennett Hoskyns, whose certificate is dated the very day previous to Sir Thomas’. We have further record of Hoskyns sitting for Wendover in Bucks to confirm it. There are records of the return to Parliament of several Buckinhamshire men in April of 1640. Sir John Pakington, Bt. And Thomas Fountain appear to be the first members, while Ralph Verney was the second member. We find reference to a double return in the Aylesbury election with ‘Two of the Burgessess returned not to fit till further order; one, returned in both Indentures, to fit, 1 May’6. The Short Parliament only sat for less than a month (from April 13 to May 5). It appears as if the double return references the fact that Sir John Pakington was also returned for Worcester County, for which he decided to serve. Pakington and Verney had initially been returned for Aylesbury, but after Pakington decided to sit for Wocester, another election took place7. Perhaps Sir Thomas Saunders, instead of Ralph Verney had been returned to Parliament alongside Thomas Fountain. I think its highly likely that the records of these two or so weeks are incomplete and that it is likely that Sir Thomas Saunders represented Aylesbury in Parliament, albeit for a very short period of time. If this is true, Sir Thomas was amongst several friends and associates from Buckinghamshire returned to Parliament, including John Hampden and Arthur Goodwin. Local elections were usually overseen by the High Sheriff of the County. It is interesting to note that the High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire in 1640 was Sir Thomas Piggott, a neighbor of the Saunders and as mentioned before, connected to the Saunders family through the Blounts.''

The entry for the return of Sir Thomas Saunders as a MP for Aylesbury can be viewed online here: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nnc1.0049729870&view=1up&seq=55

Tagging of Draft:Shiva Makinian
You recently tagged Draft:Shiva Makinian as a copyright violation, and I have deleted it on that basis. Thank you.

However, you did not notify the page creator of the tagging. I have done this on your behalf. It is considers very mush normal practice to notify the page creator of any speedy deletion tagging. Twinkle can be set to do this automatically, I believe. In any case, all the speedy deletion templates, when placed, include code which can be copied and place on the creator's user talk page manually to give such a notification. Or you can do it completely manually, but I would advise using the template or Twinkle, myself.

If taggers do not notify page creators, editors, particularly relatively new editors, do not understand why and how a draft or article vanished, and complain at the teahouse or help desk, or simply become discourages and leave. In any case the education which the notice is intended to give an editor is lost. Please remember to notify in future. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 21:24, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

There is a lot there. But the source from the Library of Congress/ADST is more than 400 pages. Hence the stub. I have a BA in international relations but here neither the time nor the experience with Eastern Europe to sift through that level of detail and take what is most important/relevant. My goal is someone who knows better than I do can improve the article, either through that reference or others they may find. Hence the stub tag. But it is less likely any experts will find it if it is still a draft. Postcard Cathy (talk) 20:43, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Definitely understand . Been there, done that with the BA in International Relations. A quick Google Search pulled nothing else up? Not even doing Google Scholar? I'll see what I can find. Normally we like to have at least three reliable sources for an article, hence my reticence with accepting as well. Bkissin (talk) 20:49, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
