Requests
I see that your edit history is exclusively of making requests for articles at Requested Articles. Requested Articles is severely backlogged with literally tens of thousands of requests and a limited number of volunteers to work on them- your requests may not be seen for some time, never mind acted on if possible. 331dot (talk) 09:41, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

January 2023
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Newport Folk Festival, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. ''Please read the sections on overlinking and repeat links. Those artists' articles were already linked to earlier in the section. Linking them multiple times creates redundant links.'' Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 21:38, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy.

Deletion discussion about Muggs Fogarty
Hello, Presshintsboston, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username BoyTheKingCanDance, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Muggs Fogarty, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Muggs Fogarty.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And, don't forget to sign your reply with. Thanks!

Nomination of Lenette Azzi-Lessing for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Lenette Azzi-Lessing is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Lenette Azzi-Lessing until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished. BusterD (talk) 12:36, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Lenette Azzi-Lessing moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Lenette Azzi-Lessing, is not suitable 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.

You might slow up on creating new pages
It's clear that while your writing is good and the formatting perfectly reasonable, the subjects about which you are writing are considered of quite marginal notability. I'm also concerned because of these recent creations there may be conflict of interest or paid editing. Editors who are writing for pay are REQUIRED to so state on their user page and on each of the talk pages of their creations. BusterD (talk) 13:08, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello I am not paid by anyone, no one knows I’m doing this, I am literally just a nerd who has been to a lot of local shows and thus has a lot of historical context of the scenes in New England that is not featured on Wikipedia. This stuff should be catalogued somewhere because it had plenty of notability in its time and now it is subject to link rot and performing arts spaces getting shut down by the pandemic and it’s harder than ever to archive what had for many years been incredibly popular and notable Elttaruuu (talk) 18:55, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for engaging. We are happy to hear that statement from you. I spent some time last night looking at your contributions and came to the early conclusion that you're interested primarily in your own subjects. My concern for a new editor is that they might get started creating articles on subjects which don't meet general notability. Such articles may get sustained pushback, as you have seen. Lenette Azzi-Lessing ‎seems a wonderful human and I'd love to see a subject like that have an article, but so far, I'm not seeing anything which claims she's more important than any other professor. As one editor pointed out in the AfD, her book might meet GNG, but as an academic, she's not particularly well-cited or published. Muggs Fogarty also seems weakly sourced. It might be wise if you were to create draft articles and develop them more thoroughly in sheltered draft space before the entire universe has the opportunity to pick them apart. When experienced editors move your creations into draftspace, they are doing it with the best of intentions. If the creations were less well-created, they would have been nominated immediately for deletion (as you have seen). Please do not move such moved pages back into pagespace without getting some reviewing help. If you really want to contribute meaningfully to Wikipedia, I strongly suggest you demonstrate some good faith to others and improve some pages you didn't create yourself, getting more experience and connection to the community. Then when you create new articles, they are more likely to be better formed and will likely be better supported with reliable sources. BusterD (talk) 19:21, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

I appreciate that insight. Thank you for taking the time Elttaruuu (talk) 19:24, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * To be perfectly clear: I'm not trying to discourage you from editing; quite the contrary. I'm attempting first to let you know you're not alone here (welcome!) and second I'm attempting to soften somewhat the reception your work is attracting today. Feel free to contact me or any of your other reviewers for help. BusterD (talk) 19:28, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Finally, if you desire assistance responding to comments in the WP:AfD procedures, we may help you better make your case as well. Nobody you've met so far is your opponent. BusterD (talk) 19:32, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Afaq Mahmoud
Hello Elttaruuu,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Afaq Mahmoud for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Afaq Mahmoud to be deleted, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Disambiguation link notification for January 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Porsha Olayiwola, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Eugene Williams. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:02, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

The accusations you added to the article being discussed above require high-quality sources before we even consider adding them. I have suppressed your addition; please don't repeat it without far better sourcing, or you risk a block. Vanamonde (Talk) 04:30, 29 January 2023 (UTC)


 * @Vanamonde93 FYI, I've received a message from Elttaruu on my talk page about this here. In fact, I just received an email saying I've just received another message, which I'll read over. Expect a ping. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 04:36, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I think they will stop. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 04:38, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Yeah I’m all set. I understand now. I accept the terms and also if this page needs to be deleted Elttaruuu (talk) 04:39, 29 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I have no opinion on the deletion of the page itself: from what I've seen it isn't obvious whether this person is notable, but that's something to determine via discussion at the venue linked above. Happy editing, Vanamonde (Talk) 04:43, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Maddie Jay moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Maddie Jay, is not suitable as written to remain published. It appears there is a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. 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, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. As per WP policy, please do not move into mainspace yourself.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:09, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Quotations
Hi, I noticed your edits on Aja Monet. Thanks for working to expand that entry! I wanted to let you know that as an encyclopedia, i.e. a summary of available knowledge rather than an in-depth source, Wikipedia generally uses only limited quotations and instead aims to give an overview of what someone said, ideally using secondary sources to characterize their view instead of our own interpretation of primary sources. If you do need a quote, the best is to use not even a whole sentence, and at most one to two sentences. While there are always exceptions, quotes longer than that should be summarized in the vast majority of cases. You can read more advice on this at WP:QUOTEFARM. I hope that’s helpful as you continue working on WP. Glad to have you! Happy editing, Innisfree987 (talk) 21:04, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
