Helm
Are you also going to remove Helm Glacier, Helm Peak and Helm Point etc., then, or will the rules be applied selectively to fiction? (Even though it is quite a large article, that I did not write.) --IByte (talk) 12:22, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Marisha Ray Article
Hi, Clarityfiend! You have rejected the draft for Marisha Ray's wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Marisha_Ray) last year because it didn't contain enough independent, secondary sources. I (and others) have added a couple of sources since then, and I wanted to ask if you could have a look and tell me if it would probably pass muster now or if it needs more still - I just don't want to risk it being deleted entirely. Thank you! Fajority — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fajority (talk • contribs) 14:56, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Please see link below to discussion of notability which also applies to Gerald Starr entry which you declined

I will duplicate this on my talk page since I am a newbie and do not believe I have figured out the process around "watch"ing pages. Thank-you. Squirrel2017 (talk) 14:29, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

You response actually makes my argument for me. The newspaper etc coverage is slim to none even for important indigenous figures. Thank-you. Squirrel2017 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:18, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Edit of Dark Matter TV series page
My edit of 'is' to 'was', is due to currency. It's not a currently aired TV show. I came to wiki first to see if it was still aired, and reading 'is' right off the top lead me to believe it was still aired, I closed the page thinking I missed something or couldn't find it through Syfy. I had to come back to read it was canceled. I believe 'was' is appropriate and correct. --Panoptican (talk) 05:08, 17 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Look at other TV series articles, e.g. I Love Lucy, Bonanza, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, etc. They all say "is", no matter how long it's been since they last aired. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:11, 17 March 2019 (UTC)


 * See MOS:TVLEAD: "References to the show, and its characters and locations, should always be in the present tense, as the show will still exist even after it is no longer airing new episodes". Clarityfiend (talk) 05:26, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Kora disamb page
Hi, you have been removing entries from the Kora disamb page. However (1) Many places in India have changed their English names from old "British Empire" spellings to new spellings that are more consistent with local pronuncation, e.g. Bombay --> Mumbay. The Koda/Kora case is one such pair. The disamb entry "Koda" should have said "formerly spelled 'Kora'" ro vice-versa; I just missed it. (2) I have read the WP style guids section that you referenced and I don't see why it applies to the other entries that you deleted. Some multi-word place names are often abbreviated (check "United States", "Britain", "Rio"), and that is explicitly the case of at least one of the towns whose pages I created yesterday. In case of doubt, it is better for the readers to list the entry than omit it. (And, besides, everything in the WP style guides is only the opinion of some editor like me. You cannot expect that editors will read all the 1,234,567 pages of the style guide, much less that they agree to them...) All the best,--Jorge Stolfi (talk) 20:15, 17 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I see nothing in the partial match articles that demonstrates that they are abbreviated "Kora". Nor do I see how WP:PTM applies here. It states, "Place names are often divided between a specific and generic part: "North Carolina" (where "Carolina" is the specific, and "North" the generic part). ... It is entirely proper to include such place names in disambiguation pages with the specific title" (which I don't particularly agree with, but that's beside the point). None of the entries satisfies the "generic part" requirement. As for Koda, other than Madhu Koda and Koda language, there are no other Indian entries. WP:SURPRISE seems to me to apply here. The average reader is not going to know what the connection between Koda and Kora is. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:13, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I still disagree... For one thing, I am assuming that the primary goal of Wikipedia is to be helpful to readers who come to it in search of information.  It seems to me that they would be better served if those entries are included, than if they are omitted.  Would you be too upset if I add them to the "See also" section? Besides, while some of those pairs may not fall under the generic+specific case, it is quite possible that others do.  Take for example Kora Amanikere, Tumakuru. There are many towns in India called "Xxx Amanikere"; and indeed there is a separate village called simply "Kora", just 1 km north of "Kora Amanikere".  Thus "Amanikere" (ಅಮಾನಿಕೆರೆ) seems to be a Kannada adjective (that presumably comes after the noun). I found one Kannada dictionary online that defines it as "(ಯಾವ ಗ್ರಾಮದ ದಾಖಲೆಗೂ ಸೇರದೆ ಇರುವ) ಸರಕಾರದ ವಶದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಕೆರೆ" and Google translates that into something like "government-owned lake[? = ಕೆರೆ, kere] (that is not officially part of the village)". And, again, the Manual of Style is not an official Wikipedia Foundation document, nor approved or monitored by it.  Every rule in there is just the opinion of some editor.  Referencing "WP:MOSxxx" may scare novice editors; but it will not convince the old ents that have seen those rules being made, and share Bismarck's opinion about laws and sausages... All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 00:44, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I have no objection to adding the villages to See also. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:21, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Request on 13:14:31, 3 April 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Footy21
Hey! I recently got notification that my draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Max_Aken-Tyers was denied. However, I read the guidelines and it says that the NPSL counts as a notable league in the USA. There is also the link https://www.riverhounds.com/news_article/show/918805 that has the player in the US open cup abasing USL Pro side Pittsburgh. Aken-Tyers has been at Erie for numerous years now and has gained a rather good reputation around town with fans. More about the story was here on a local Erie fans podcast https://twitter.com/DavisMattek/status/1012448588411097088

If you could give me more info that would be great

Revision done, article resubmitted
Hi, you recently reviewed an article I had submitted ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Pogo:_The_Complete_Syndicated_Comic_Strips ), and it did not pass.

Kidnapping of şehzade Halil
Hi, please don’t move the article Kidnapping of Şehzade Halil. Check the history. That’s the original article created in 2011. The other is just a copy made in 2017. Şehzade Halil is a boy, quite unnotable except for the kidnapping and the political consequences. That’s why the title includes the word “kidnapping” Cheers..Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 07:28, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Reworking text on Brian Primack page
Hello, the subject of this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_A._Primack has recently been hired as a dean by the University of Arkansas. I have been asked to update his page and, of course, saw that it has a COI tag on it. I work for the University of Arkansas so I might face similar concerns about conflict of interest. I do not work for the college at which Primack will be serving and do not know him personally. Is there a way for me to bring the existing article back within a neutral point of view? Thanks for any and all advices. Runnel (talk) 21:15, 18 June 2019 (UTC)


 * The only questionable content is "Primack is internationally recognized for his expertise in health-related media and technology research." An appearance on the Today show does not prove that. A proper source or a weaker claim (e.g. "Primack is an expert in ...") would solve the problem. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:24, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Attorney and Notary Public, Walewyn ( Walewijn ) van der veen, in New Amsterdam court of law.
Hi, in reply to the decision to not approve the article regarding Walewyn ( Walewijn ) van der Veen ( resident of the Nieuwendijk at the time of his marriage), I would like to add that the courthouse documents from the New Amsterdam cases where he was involved, are used for the study of early American law and history. He was sworn in as Notary Public in 1662-1664. Walewyn was not a famous person but was active in the courts until the British takeover of New Netherlands in 1664. In some of the documents his stepson, Jacobus van der Water's signature is seen. His stepson later became 'auditor 'and mayor of New York.

What is needed for the article to be approved? Gabby 09:37, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Hello Clarityfiend! I’ve read your note on the draft for (Out of Bounds (2019 film)). I genuinely appreciate the details. Thank you. My apologies, but I’ve been working on this submission since earlier this year; hope I’m not a bother. I’ve done some digging and I’ve found some helpful information that may help in the approval of my submission. Memphis Flyer is indeed an alternative newspaper, however it’s core values are aligned with the demographic for the film and the journalist wrote a favorable article. The Jackson Sun although a smaller newspaper does have a weekly circulation of 118,865, it’s a 150 year old newspaper that is delivered to 13 counties, and is one of western Tennessee's major publications. Although WMC Action News 5 is a Memphis station, it covers four states that includes parts of eastern Arkansas, northern Mississippi, southeastern Missouri, and Tennessee. The station is located in Memphis, but the coverage is broad. Please take into consideration that all of those sources have established Wikipedia pages. IMN is another credible source, which is IMDb approved and has many film reviews listed there. Lastly, I completely understand that you are busy. If you would rather another reviewer look at my draft for approval please let me know how to do so. Thanks again for your assistance!
 * You don't have to do anything more. You must have resubmitted it for review, as it's showing up in Category:AfC pending submissions by age/Very old. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:28, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Inline citations in Round World version of the Silmarillion
The illogicality of your comment at the AfD is breathtaking. You said book is not an inline reference, so it's impossible to tell just what it's good for and to what extent. Whether or not the reference is inline does not make a blind bit of difference. I could easily turn it into inline references by adding ref tags. I could even provide page numbers since the Whittingham source provides them in her references to Tolkien. One can only judge whether or not a source verifies the material by actually reading it. The presence or absence of little blue numbers does not help one little bit. If you are unwilling or unable to read the source, then the rule is WP:AGF unless there is some other evidence that the material is problematic. SpinningSpark 20:26, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi Clarityfiend, thanks for your edit to Alliance Rising here. Just for information, "EC" is used a number of times in the novel, starting at around page 15.

English-produced movies made in foreign countries.
From what I know about the Infobox rules on Wikipedia, the distributor of the movie must remain how it is in the film's country(ries) of origin, not regarding what language it is produced in.

 * It's a silly rule, but WP:FILMDIST agrees with you. ( You were missing an "=" so it wasn't recognized as a separate section. Your border problem was due to a formatting error two sections up. Your missing "=" was a separate issue.) Clarityfiend (talk) 05:55, 29 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I missed that FILMDIST also says "If there are only two distributors in total (a domestic and foreign) then include both of them."
