Hi. It seems that tend to withdraw from Wikipedia for having asked to delete my contributions. All I want is to contribute about the history of my country. Please help me.


 * That's fine, but you also have to satisfy Wikipedia's standards. In particular, WP:SOLDIER states that a single DSC by itself isn't enough to establish notability. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:35, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi!

Could you please put that link I've written into the corresponding position on the Theory of everything topic?

Thank you for your cooperation!

 * No, your WP:FRINGE theory does not meet Wikipedia's standards. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:20, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer!

How did you mean that doesn't meet?

The theory's meaning as is, or the extarnal site's edition on which lays? I mean which is the problem with that? The site and its syntaxes or the meaning of the content? Arrakistor (talk) 12:06, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

WP:HD
Hi, Clarityfiend. You replied that "Wikipedia doesn't accept dubious, unpublished WP:original research". That's true, but it also doesn't accept rock-solid original research. While I share your dubiety, your inclusion of "dubious" seemed rather bitey to me. --ColinFine (talk) 14:05, 20 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I took a lot of physics in university. Trust me, "dubious" was a lot more polite than what I was thinking. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:11, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Edward Howland Robinson Green
Hello. Sorry to bother you after all these years, but you made this change some time ago. I checked the Time article, and most of the info that you inserted was not there at all. There was simply a report of his sister's deposition. Can you tell us where the info you added actually came from? (Or maybe it is *I* who am confused.) There's a section you can use at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Edward_Howland_Robinson_Green#Time_magazine_citation Thanks so much! BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 20:52, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello,...
I have recently opened my contrebution's list and have seen your reverted an adding of a link to a movie called "Smitty!".  i wanted to add it to the list becourse a list was made for all Smitty related items... ok... not the right place ? where to put it then so it will become accepted?   Retrorick wikipedia     talk    12:20, 5 April 2018 (UTC)


 * There's a Smitty (film) listed in Smitty (disambiguation) now. Smitty: The Pied Piper, also released in 2012, doesn't appear to satisfy WP:NFILM. If the one you added is a third 2012 movie of that name, it doesn't appear in IMDb. (P.S. The disambiguation page is a good place to list it, provided it's sufficiently notable.)

Kirsty Hinchcliffe Afd
Hello,

I received a message from you regarding the deletion of a page - Kirsty Hinchcliffe. Thank you for your message. I was advised to create this page many years ago. I have not maintained it or even looked at it in years. Please feel free to do what is required to keep Wiki the wonderful source of information that it is. Thank you for your time.

Gregs
Should I remove the Gregs at Gregory (given name)? Normally it would be viable to merge them but the sheer amount of name-holders would make that unwise. The other issue is a lot of the dab pages contain both Gregs and Gregorys, so I presume they should be listed on both articles. &mdash;Xezbeth (talk) 10:08, 13 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I would keep the Gregs in Gregory. I've done the same thing on other name pairings. However, I'm not sure what you mean by "a lot of the dab pages". Example? (Also, not all Gregorys are Gregs. I have trouble visualizing a pope named Greg.) Clarityfiend (talk) 10:14, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Greg Jones, for example, lists both names. Then there are others that are at "Gregory X" but also list "Greg X" &mdash;Xezbeth (talk) 10:25, 13 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't see a problem there. Gregory Jones redirects to Greg Jones, and the latter explicitly includes both versions, even if, by some odd chance, Greg wasn't short for Gregory. Gregory Smith states that it includes Gregs as well, as does Greg Anderson, otherwise entries like Greg Smith (cricketer, born 1971) would be a bit suspect. So, when it's the case that the short name is almost always a variation of the long one, I'd just explicitly specify both. It only becomes tricky when there are multiple possibilities.

Mabel A. Shaw
Just wondering why you would make this change, which had the effect of removing the image number? Now the searcher cannot find the story easily. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mabel_A._Shaw&diff=next&oldid=839624632. The old way worked just fine. Thanks, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 15:47, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * You made the same kind of change here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_Howland_Robinson_Green&diff=next&oldid=833900175. It doesn't make sense to me. Thanks. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 15:57, 24 June 2018 (UTC)


 * That just doesn't seem encyclopedic/formal to me. Template:cite news has only one field that might fit ("at"), but none of the examples it gives is like what I removed: "section (sec.), column (col.), paragraph (para.); track; hours, minutes and seconds; act, scene, canto, book, part, folio, stanza, back cover, liner notes, indicia, colophon, dust jacket, verse". If I still had my newspapers.com subscription, I might have tracked down the page number. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:08, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, you don't need a page number when you have the number of the microfilm image. I know this is not the way that it's usually done, but Ignore all rules. There are no more paper copies anywhere, so the microfilm is all we have. I hope you understand the reasoning here. I am trying to make a better encyclopedia, not follow some arcane system that I don't understand. Sincerely, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 05:11, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Award theater movie listings
Yes, I disagree with your singling out this particular entry as showing "too much information" when I thought that Wikipedia tried to show as much information as possible on a related subject. There are literally hundreds of Wikipedia listings regarding television shows that list every episode, the plot line, who starred in the show, the director and the date the episode was shown. Why single out Award theater for information limitation when there is such great detail in other areas. I happen to remember watching Award theater as a kid and enjoy the information as it does have a nostalgic touch as I'm sure many of the listings do for millions of Wikipedia users.

Rollback
Hi Clarityfiend. After reviewing your request at the Afc desk, I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AClarityfiend enabled] rollback on your account for added support. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Lourdes 06:05, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.

East African war

On the topic of Marisha Ray's draft
I understand that she might not be suitable for Wikipedia, but I can't see the reason why. She's worked as a voice actress for 18 different videogames and 2 shorts, as well as several live-action productions, and the Draft is accompanied by 48 references to show all of this. I just want to know, what's missing?


 * Unlike IMDb, Wikipedia doesn't list every actor. She fails all three criteria of WP:NACTOR, especially #1: "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". Video games and shorts don't generally qualify, and her credits are no exception. More generally, she has not "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" as required by WP:GNG. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:43, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Willoughby (given name)
Hi Clarityfiend, about your revert of Willoughby (given name), the reason that I put in the redirect for Willoughby Aston is WP:DOUBLEDAB and WP:INTDABLINK.

Discussion at Talk:Passengers of the RMS Titanic
I'd like to invite editors who participated in the deletion discussion to give their input at article talk. There was considerable interest in cleaning up this article in one way or another, but there have been few responses to my proposal to trim the passenger lists. Alternative proposals are certainly welcome as well; I'm hoping that we can build some sort of consensus for the scope and direction of the article moving forward.

Good afternoon!
Hi there, I apologize up front for not knowing if this is your talk page, or mine-- I've only ever written one article for wikipedia, and am not 100% sure of all of the etiquette.

I am writing to find out if you could give me some further guidance regarding my article on Kenlon Johannes (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Kenlon_Johannes&action=edit). You denied it for publishing back in October. I'm a full-time student and had a pretty tumultuous semester so I haven't had a chance to respond until now, so my apologies for the delay.

The feedback you provided stated I didn't have sufficient sources (not just mentioned in passing etc). I have included articles exclusively about Mr. Johannes in addition to books that credit him for the creation of the Biodiesel industry. Some of these publications are most certainly exclusive to agriculture, but agriculture is a massive industry, and the sub industries of soybean production and biodiesel in the state of Kansas alone, oilseed brings a $1.6 billion dollar contribution. Other sources like the LA times I mentioned only to add to the scope of his role in the industry.

I had a few missteps when I started researching to write the article, and got some great guidance (such as needing to post a statement that I was an intern at the time). I'm no longer an intern, I just feel very strongly that Mr. Johannes's contributions should be recognized. If there's any guidance you can give me I'd welcome it. I'm sure you hear all the time that people put a lot of work into their articles, and I did, but I'm also willing to put in more in order to get it approved. If I made the quotations from the several books more extensive would that help? Or maybe direct quotations instead of just citing where I found the info?

I greatly appreciate any guidance you can offer, and thank you for reviewing my article!

 * Which are the "articles exclusively about Mr. Johannes"? All I see is one (#17), and that's really just an announcement. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:31, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

One more thing to add
Hey there-- I apologize for the multiples-- Something that I didn't mention in the article, and I'm not sure it would help but perhaps? One of the books I referenced was dedicated to Mr. Johannes in addition to detailing all of his involvement in the birth of the industry. I didn't include the dedication since it didn't seem as relevant to the material, but if that would strengthen my case I'll add it!

Thank you again for your assistance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessi.Freeman (talk • contribs) 19:46, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
