Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice
Hi, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, (talk) MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:35, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Tetris games
Hi, HELLKNOWZ, I am very glad that there are people on Wikipedia who are helping us new ones. My interests are Tetris-based games and I don't think it's a conflict. We have a large community of similar people. After your comments, I realize that my post Astris(game) resembles an ad, and I'll try to fix it, add independent sources, or delete it. I wanted to write about more games that are interesting to our community, but can be difficult for someone to find, so I thought Wikipedia was the right place to help a lot of people with similar interests. It is probably a better option to create my own page, where thousands of people will be able to find links or give their ratings, than to write on Wikipedia. In addition, user Arcorann helped me find a TetrisWiki where I can write without any problems, but neither TetrisWiki nor my page, unlike Wikipedia, is known and found by most users. Thank you.

 * Hi! So just to be clear -- you are not the developer of the game Astris and don't have any connection with them? — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 15:13, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

I still have trouble understanding the principle of Wikitext and html. I've definitely never programmed a game, but I've contacted development companies to license images for use and editing on my site that I'm trying to create. I did not expect how many problems there will be with creating a post on Wikipedia. Please delete or correct the post. I no longer want to publish anything on Wikipedia. TetrisAnnie (talk) 15:41, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry that this experience has been problematic for you. Creating a new article is very difficult and Wikipedia has many rules, including the minimum sourcing threshold for articles. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia after all. Copyright is also a very complex subject and (being so visible), we must follow the laws correctly.
 * You uploaded commons:File:AstrisScreenshot.png and indicated that you are the copyright holder and it's your own work. I was just trying to understand if you used an incorrect license there (Wikimedia Commons) or if you are the developer/agent of the game and must disclose this connection here (English Wikipedia). It seems that you are not connected with the company/game, in which case the image cannot be accepted there. But there's no problem editing here. Whether the game actually passes our threshold for articles is a different matter, although it doesn't look like it does.
 * Sorry that this has been troublesome for you. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 16:10, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Invitation to RedWarn
Hello, Hellknowz! I'm Ed6767. I noticed you have been using Twinkle and was wondering if you'd like to beta test my new tool called RedWarn, specifically designed to improve your editing experience.

RedWarn is currently in use by over a hundred other Wikipedians, and feedback so far has been extremely positive. In fact, in a recent survey of RedWarn users, 90% of users said they would recommend RedWarn to another editor. If you're interested, please see the RedWarn tool page for more information on RedWarn's features and instructions on how to install it. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your talk page. If you have any further questions, please ping me or leave a message on my talk page. Your feedback is much appreciated!

Alpha Black Zero moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Alpha Black Zero, 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. CommanderWaterford (talk) 09:04, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Alpha Black Zero
I saw you tripped over an editor with this article. I hope you will accept the suggestion for the next draft of yours to do what I do, which is to keep it in Draft or Sandbox form until it is indisputably not going to trip over an editor with a hair trigger?

That you are correct in moving it back to main space is probably immaterial, I fear. I tend to feel it's an easier life to protect ourselves from those who can be over rigorous. Fiddle  Faddle  10:47, 27 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Hey! Yeah, I probably will just edit in sandbox in the future to avoid that. I usually do, but I wasn't going to work on this article past a stub, so I was avoiding a pointless move (ironic in hindsight). — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 11:11, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Request on 03:22:44, 5 August 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by JackGR2020
Hello.Since the draft has been declined I'd like to ask for some advice and answers.Because it's my first time editing sth on wiki and not quite familiar with it.And I'm non native English speaker.

①First,how can i remove WP:GAMECRUFT? I don't think I have added it before?(Using visual editor)

②Secondly,should I delete the cites for fandoms/Game wiki edited by players?It seems that the sources from fansite are not quite reliable.However some of the words describing heroes/weapons/etc. are copy-pasted from the game without editing any word.I thought it reliable enough since it's directly from the text within the game...:-(

③And do I need to look for more coverage from more-famous gaming website in order to make it more reliable?

④Finally Can I site some videos/playback/review from Youtube?Some of the youtubers voluntarily made some videos about our game without us sponsoring.Can it be considered reliable sources?

Many Thanks!And I'm willing to take as many advices as possible before resubmission.

JackGR2020 (talk) 03:22, 5 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi!
 * The main thing to focus on is to have sources that satisfy these requirements -- multiple independent reliable in-depth sources. This is called notability on Wikipedia, and is the minimum threshold for an article.
 * WP:GAMECRUFT refers to excessive detail about the in-game content -- scrolls, weapons, heroes, etc. Unless reliable independent sources cover these in-depth, they shouldn't be mentioned more than a couple sentences in a "Gameplay" section. Wikipedia includes much much less content like this than game wikis. We focus on reviews, development info, cultural impact, etc. In other words, primarily real-world impact.
 * Video games project has a peer-reviewed list of sources at WP:VG/RS -- these are the sort of sources you would need. We have a custom search too.
 * YouTube videos are almost never reliable unless the person in question is reliable, which normally means they just work for a reliable publication or are an expert in the field. Let's Plays are basically never used. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 09:51, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Request on 11:49:03, 15 September 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by SerenityNAO
Hi there

This is my first time attempting to create an article and I am seeking some guidance around the below rejection reason for an article i'm trying to publish, "List of Xbox games with mouse and keyboard support", similar to this list below of games with xbox one x enhancements: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_One_X_enhanced_games

Reason left: "Stand-alone lists have to pass list notability, which means the list as a group/topic itself has to be discussed by reliable sources. Sourcing individual items is not enough. This list is very unlikely to survive a deletion discussion because of its nature -- a very narrow intersection of selection criteria."

My questions:

1. Which reliable sources are provided in the list of xbox one x enhanced games article, so that I may seek equivalent sources for my list of games which support mouse and keyboard?

2. Are the below considered examples of reliable sources discussing the list as a topic itself, and if so how would I go about referencing them in order to obtain approval?

https://www.windowscentral.com/list-xbox-one-mouse-and-keyboard-games https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/xbox-one-games-mouse-and-keyboard-support/ https://www.trueachievements.com/keyboard-and-mouse-support/games

Thanks for all your efforts in ensuring wikipedia is kept up to a good standard!

 * Hi! Comparing to List of Xbox One X enhanced games is probably not a good idea. The list was created by a new user and no one has taken the time or effort to review this list and see if it actually meets the notability bar. Since then, a lot of users simply appended to the list without considering its compatibility with Wikipedia. I am not sure this article would survive a deletion discussion either. In my opinion, it's just unencyclopedic per WP:NOT, in particular WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I know that different editors view such lists differently, so it may end up not being a clear-cut case even based on all the existing criteria.
 * Notability asks for significant coverage. This means the source has to actually discuss the topic in-depth, not just mention it. This criteria for lists is somewhat less strict, but there still has to be some discussion. The source (arguably) cannot just be a list itself. Digital Trends seems to be the only one to say anything extra about the topic, but it's not a very long description. Basically, if you remove the actual list from the draft, you should still have a bunch of content discussing the list itself without resorting to just examples. That's an ideal list. But, again, there's some leeway and editors have interpreted different lists to different degree. I'm essentially basing my decision on the previous cases that I have seen.
 * I don't personally think you can improve the list to the point where it's suitable. I also personally thing the other list doesn't belong on Wikipedia either. But, again, this is a difficult call. I won't myself decline/reject your draft if you improve/resubmit it, since it's a more ambiguous case and I'd want someone else to agree or disagree with me.
 * If you want other editor input, you can also post at the AfC Help Desk or even bring it up at Video Games project talk page, although this might result in more direct feedback. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 12:41, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Request on 18:40:12, 25 February 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by JoshSprung
Hi,

Thank you for your review of my first draft. I have made your recommended changes regarding the text and added two more sources.

I removed any language that seemed promotional as well as the details around the services, opting to only list the services.

The first source I added is from gameindustry.biz again, not from an interview this time but from the company page on the site. This is found under the first source.

The second source I added is in Russian and is found under source nine. When translated, the article describes the founder of 'Frostkeep Games' talking about their game 'Rend' and the work Sprung Studios did for them.

Unfortunately, there are no other articles regarding Sprung Studios that I could find at this time, but I will continue to search and update accordingly when found.

I was hoping you could proofread/provide feedback on this draft when available.

Thank you again for the initial feedback and I hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,

Unofficial request for review on Draft:Red Eclipse by TucanHolmes
Sorry to take up your time once again, but could you please take one last look at the use of primary sources at Draft:Red Eclipse before I properly submit it to AfC? I want to fix the primary source problem pre-emptively before somebody takes a deeper look at it.
 * Draft:Red Eclipse

Here is my use rationale for the remaining primary sources: In total, 4 out of 25 sources are primary (6 if you count the two that are on sites dedicated to Cube Engine games in general). TucanHolmes (talk) 19:43, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Attribution (the list of authors, that is source [1])
 * Licensing (that is source [3]; I also use it as a supporting source for the claim that Red Eclipse is a continuation of another, defunct project)
 * That the game is available on Steam, as well as Steam reviews (source [4], which is the game's Steam page)
 * Gameplay descriptions (esp. the different modes; that is source [7], which is only used for that purpose, and supported by secondary sources)
 * Hey! The WP:AFCPURPOSE is to determine if a topic is notable (and the draft doesn't violate WP:NOT), but everything else is a content issue. So that shouldn't stop your from submitting. I only commented about the primary sources without actually reviewing (declining/accepting). It's just something that stood out to me and usually indicates there's aren't good non-primary sources. In this case, there are, but I'm not entirely sure the secondary sources are in-depth enough for WP:GNG. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 11:54, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. Nevertheless: Thank you for your assistance. TucanHolmes  (talk) 11:59, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

RegetPages not processed
Hi, a week ago I made which had. Yesterday, I did something similar : but the pages are still in WikiProject Stub sorting/Article alerts. What did I do wrong the second time? -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 22:33, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey! To sum up: reget page list doesn't change subscriptions; open workflow subscription changes are updated automatically; closed workflow subscription changes are ignored.
 * The reget pages list is for re-retrieving the "inside" data for a page. It's a bit tricky to explain, but basically it's everything about the page that is independent from external factors -- discussion page name, users, dates, votes, result, etc. But it is not "external" stuff like which workflows the page is in or which subscription it belongs to. Those are determined by categories/banners/etc. Basically, page data retrieval happens after pages have been assigned to subscriptions. So putting a page for reget after changing its belonging to a subscription (i.e. removing the banner) doesn't actually do anything visible. If you put an active page (e.g. draft submitted) there, the bot would still reget the page's data as requested, but the actual subscription change would have already been caused by no longer being tagged with the project's banner. However, once the workflow is closed (e.g. draft declined), the bot stores the original subscription(s) it belonged to. This is necessary because pages often "lose" their subscription once they are processed - deleted, moved, renamed, merged, etc. The bot cannot rely on categories/banners and such anymore (the page itself could be gone), so it assumes the pages were part of the subscription. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 10:34, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

is Minecraft a Programming game?
Even the main article for Category:Programming games mentions Minecraft as an example of a programming game. Martin Kraus (talk) 21:01, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, actually, it mentions it under "Related areas", so I guess one could argue that the article doesn't mention it as an example of programming games. But to me it is clear that it fits the definition of "a video game that incorporates elements of computer programming, enabling the player to direct otherwise autonomous units within the game to follow commands in a domain-specific programming language, often represented as a visual language to simplify the programming metaphor." Martin Kraus (talk) 21:06, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Do reliable sources consistently describe it as a "programming game"? Otherwise, categories are not exempt from verifiability requirements. The article never mentions this term/genre. The main article doesn't actually contain any direct source for this, it is talking about a mod. Regardless, sources have to exist for the game itself calling it that, no matter how the main article describes it. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 21:40, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I do not think that every item that is described in wikipedia has to be consistently described as X to be in category X. This might not even be true for the majority of categories. Martin Kraus (talk) 22:13, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Anyway, I added a scientific reference to the Minecraft article which lists Minecraft as one of 49 "serious programming games". Martin Kraus (talk) 00:03, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, I didn't understand the nature of "Minecraft: Hero's Journey." I guess, I have to look for further references for Minecraft as a programming game. Martin Kraus (talk) 00:42, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * WP:V requires that everything non-trivial or contested is sourced. This is also explicitly stated about categories at WP:CATV. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 10:37, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Possible sockpuppetry
Thanks for reporting several socks of Javito1993. A certain account named StxQ appears to be exhibiting the same behavior since the beginning of this month. Many of the pages that it edited were also edited by other socks of Javito1993. It is odd that mobile tags began to appear only after the most recent SPI report was closed. The edit summaries are either blank or similar to those that were used by Joplin201017. Also, there are edits to some pages that are related to medicine or Ecuador. Is the account a sock of Javito1993 that was hidden well enough for it to go undetected by CU scans? LSGH (talk) (contributions) 12:22, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I was wondering why it was a bit quiet, although I didn't watch too many of the pages. It's very likely them. There were a bunch of sleeper accounts CUs saw but didn't take action on. They probably had to get around a block and waited it out to get confirmed. I think this definitely warrants an SPI. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 12:54, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Source removed from Factorio
Hello Hellknowz! Why have you taken away a source from Factorio? (I've seen that an information was added but lacking of source, so I've searched one for that information, and I've added it.

This doesn't need an explicit citation unless you want to contest the accuracy of the material and/or want to show a reliable source discussing it (which would be best, but not required). In this case, "official" label also doesn't mean anything, because Wube does not in any way verify the content of the wiki, they just link to it. — HELL KNOWZ ∣ TALK 21:04, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

 * At this point, they've been covered in major media outlets. I'm not sure what else I need to prove notability. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/traefik-labs-recognized-2022-hashicorp-223000244.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kcmastrpc (talk • contribs) 05:05, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Talking to myself here, sorry, that's just PRNewsWire. I don't know, I just briefly looked and I guess because this is just a boring software tool that millions of companies use and trust but they haven't managed to do something notable enough to garner press attention, no major media outlet really cares to report on them. There are tons of articles on Wiki that match this very description -- yet they still have a page, so I'm trying to carve out why not Traefik? Thanks. Kcmastrpc (talk) 05:12, 7 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi. Honestly, I barely even remember the article and I have no personal opinion about the subject or any kind of quarrel towards yourself. Looking at the AFD, I only replied to you 4 times, all just explaining various points about sourcing. For the page itself, I nominated it for deletion because I believed it does not pass GNG. This process may seem hostile towards the creator of the article or someone not familiar with Wikipedia's notability concept, but it was just another run-of-the-mill AFD as far as some company/product is concerned.
 * May be there are now sources that let it pass GNG. I couldn't tell you without actually reviewing them and I just don't have the spare time or desire to do so for every article that's been nominated over the years. You can always recreate the draft or the article. If you do, I suggest making it crystal clear which 3+ sources unambiguously establish GNG. Writing a new article is the hardest thing you can do on Wikipedia and you practically haven't edited in last two years, so I personally would not recommend doing so before gaining sufficient experience on Wikipedia. But I'm not going to nominate it for deletion again myself (or review the draft). I might leave my assessment (or draft comment) if someone else does. —  HELL KNOWZ ∣ TALK 11:45, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
