Question
How to become an admin in Wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by ProRavan Official (talk • contribs) 03:00, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Why do you want to become an admin in Wikipedia? -- KartikeyaS (talk) 06:38, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Because as much as I know about Indian TV shows and their production houses. That I can create and edit a Wikipedia page because I want to become an admin — Preceding unsigned comment added by ProRavan Official (talk • contribs) 10:23, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The WP:RFA page has some information. You've got a long way to go before you should even think about being an admin.  You need to understand the core Wikipedia policies and guidelines, be a good editor, be willing to resolve disputes, back your actions with policy / guidelines and especially not use the power of being an admin to get around restrictions just because you want to do so.

Kashif Shaik reliable sources.
Good morning

I hope that you are doing very well.

thank you for reviewing the Kashif Shaikh article.

We have provided links/references for all the information provided in the article.

can you help me in getting more specific on which part of it needs more reliable resources?

05:12, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I will be happy to do that but before this please tell me who are "we" here? -- KartikeyaS (talk) 06:40, 29 September 2020 (UTC)


 * okey. I'm not used to say I... I got the article and links from the organization, Pillars Fund, to create this article about it's founder.


 * updates? 13:37, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , first of all, please sign your posts using the four tildes. Now, if you have any Conflict of Interest with the topic of your article then you will need to disclose it first. Your draft contains some advertising/promotional tone. Please remove those and structure the citations properly then you may submit again for the review. -- KartikeyaS (talk) 07:11, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Manoj Verma (IPS)- Article for Submission review request
Sir, Please check all the references and citing websites of this article and accept it. Please left me a message on my e-mail reewapal2018@gmail.com or my talk page for afc report of this article and I will correct it. Regards, Dibyojyoti RC (talk) 09:02, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The decline reason has already been posted on your talk page. Please check and improve the article accordingly. I can still see only routine coverage and lack of citations for some claims and awards. For fairness, I will leave it for review by another reviewer. Thanks, -- KartikeyaS (talk) 09:08, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Draft has general references, not online
Draft:Order of Saint Helena contains general references as well as some inline citations. Are there particular statements in the draft that you feel require an inline citation according to WP:MINREF, but do not have one? If not, your decline would seem to violate WP:AFCSTANDARDS #1. Please be more specific about your thinking in declining it, leave it unreviewed, or accept it. It isn't a great page, but its problems are the sort best fixed in mainspace. --Worldbruce (talk) 12:42, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * there are a lot of unverified claims in the article without any inline citations. If the topic is notable enough for inclusion then there must be some reliable sources to verify which should be added to improve the draft before submitting again for a re-review. Mentions of books as references merely establishes the fact that it exists but doesn't state why and how it is notable for inclusion.-- KartikeyaS (talk) 14:53, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

How can I verify the reference by myself?
Please give me suggestions how I can verify the reference so that I can understand it. Like I gave a reference and I will verify it anyhow... Dibyojyoti RC (talk) 14:36, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Please read 's message on your talk page and you will also need to answer to the COI concerns please. -- KartikeyaS (talk) 17:44, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make any draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle   Faddle  17:47, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , I have tried to do better than that. There has been a somewhat stilted discussion on my talk page, too. Fiddle   Faddle  17:48, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , you jotted very well. Thanks so much. -- KartikeyaS (talk) 17:52, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Sreedhar Bevara’s article based on your feedback and about reliable media sources
Dear Mr Kartikeya, thank you to kindly review/offer comments to let the article hold a neutral view and have re-submitted based on your kind feedback.

However your another comment ‘sources not referred to independent/reliable & creator’s own’ may need your kind second consideration. Mainstream media sources/links such as ‘Forbes, The Hindu, Times, Sunday Guardian, Indian Express and many others, I hope you will agree holds reliable and independent distinction.

Neither the true story of starting career as street vendor due to extreme poverty is wrong nor the rise to corporate success internationally, nor the leadership author success of the book ‘Moment of Signal’ - all these three factors were well documented in the mainstream media and needs your kind attention. Await your kind revisit/review soon again 2001:8F8:1B2F:ACDE:155:C8E8:1EEE:E2EF (talk) 18:00, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Apart from the undisclosed paid-editing problem, the references used in the article are paid placements and routine coverages. Not notable enough as per the guidelines for inclusion. -- KartikeyaS (talk) 18:08, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Kaushal Srivastava Wikipedia page
Hi there! I noticed that you flagged the Kaushal Srivastava draft page as being not suitable for Wikipedia. What do you suggest I change, improve, or remove to make it suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia? One of the reasons you cited was that I had included a reference written by Professor Srivastava himself. If you could please tell me what I could improve to make this page suitable for inclusion, I would be enormously grateful!

Thank you! Greenrohan (talk) 22:20, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
 * first of all, please do not open multiple accounts unless necessary because this is against the policy of Wikipedia. Now, for your article, you need to present why the subject is notable. The relevant guideline is here. Thanks. -- KartikeyaS (talk) 06:27, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Administrator nominations step
sir, how can a user be an nominator for administrator could you please tell me, as you think just a knowledge part of wikipedia. Dibyojyoti RC (talk) 10:45, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * You can check the relevant details here. Thanks. -- KartikeyaS (talk) 06:31, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Sreedhar Bevara - Sources and Fact-check please
Dear Mr Kartikeya, thank you to promptly respond.

I can understand if it needs further clean up; but for an experienced and unbiased editor like you to dismiss the whole case with unfounded suspicions such as paid-editing, paid-placements and routine-articles which is not only unfortunate but a mere discount on the reputed names such as Forbes magazine, Times of India, The HIndu, Indian Express along with top class names like Dr. Kiran Bedi who received me at her Raj Niwas to appreciate the work, Honorable VP of India Dr Venkaiah Naidu’s appreciation or even the man himself Chris Gardner’s words about the book ‘Moment of Signal’.

Secondly, someone who belonged to crushing below poverty line, worked as a street vendor and waiter to mitigate hunger issues, who went on to do bigger things that were well documented in mainstream media, if not a story of inspiration to reflect 80% of world’s population then what else can be, sir? I submit once again, the extensive coverage about the whole story was specific, categoric and in conjunction with the published (not self publish) book ‘Moment of Signal’s success. I stay positive for your kind reconsideration and fact-checking to guide accordingly2.51.51.189 (talk) 21:04, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, to disappoint you but autobiographies are strongly discouraged in Wikipedia. The paid-editing tag was placed by an admin, not me. I just declined your draft because it read like advertising, promoting the subject. Please read WP:NPOV for more details. -- KartikeyaS (talk) 06:37, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Bowling Solitaire
Thanks for your work as editor. You declined the following article on the grounds of concerns about sourcing: Draft:Bowling_Solitaire_(game)

To help me figure out what needs changing for it to be accepted, I have a question. I can understand your decision given that some of the sources I included (#2, #3, #4, and #5) were not ideal. I simply included them with the draft that I submitted to help give editors some sense of the notability, with the understanding they could always be deleted if necessary. I'm happy to remove them.

Source #1 is in fact the key reliable and verifiable source: Sid Sackson's book A Gamut of Games. This book is a classic in the world of games (which is my area of expertise), and is often referred to by hobbyist gamers. This is the book that single-handedly popularized the game Solitaire Bowling, as a solitaire game with standard playing cards, and even leading to a published version. If I remove the other sources in light of them not being sufficiently reliable (at least by Wikipedia's standards), would that address the concern sufficiently? Gregorytopov (talk) 07:17, 15 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Here's one other source I could include, if it meets Wikipedia's criteria:


 * Doctorow, Cory. Bowling Solitaire: a smarter solitaire game, BoingBong, (January 15, 2013). Gregorytopov (talk) 07:23, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , not sure about the reliability of that link. I did not find any editorial policy there. You may ask this in WP:RSN. A vast section in the article remained unreferenced and cited sources are mostly store listing. -- KartikeyaS (talk) 17:49, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Israel Weinstein Draft
I saw you denied Draft:Israel_Weinstein citing WP:ADMASK and in reading through the draft I do not agree that it reads like an advertisement in any sense. It seems to me the article follows WP:NPOV and WP:RS, so I don't understand why it was denied. Can you please expand on your reasoning as I would like to help this article to get published and it seems the grounds you denied it are either not correct, so I am at a loss as to what can be improved. Acidskater (talk) 13:49, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , the version I saw indeed looked like it was promoting the subject and after carefully checking the article & its creator's contribution, there seem to be a conflict of interest here. -- KartikeyaS (talk) 17:36, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * You still have not expanded at all about your reasoning, especially in any way that would be helpful in editing the draft to become an article, just citing that your opinion is that this violates WP:SOAPBOX, which I completely disagree, and insinuating that the creator has a conflict of interest without any actual explanation or reasoning of the conflict of interest. At most there were a couple of problem sentences but definitely not enough to completely deny the creation of the article. I'm especially baffled at your new statement of the conflict of interest when the article is about a person who died over 40 years and quite easily meets the guidelines of WP:N. Is it because the user states she has an interest in New York City history? It personally feels like what you are doing is Biting a newcomer and not assuming good faith, most especially in that you have not given evidence explaining why you believe these policies were breached. I have even advised the user to follow this advice laid out by WP:PSCOI, which I believe she has followed quite well. Acidskater (talk) 19:38, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , There are lots of unverified claims in the article and it was written in a tone to promote the subject. If you feel my judgement is wrong, you can raise your concerns at WT:AFC. Regarding the COI issue, I already told you it was due to the article creator's contribution. I have not even checked their userpage and I am willing to provide detail explanation to any other reviewer or admin for this. -- KartikeyaS (talk) 20:16, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , just out of curiosity, how did you know it was her not him and exactly where did you advise the user? A diff will be helpful because I see nothing in the editor interaction timeline? -- KartikeyaS (talk) 20:19, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The user is a friend of a friend who contacted me to review the article after the article was denied because they knew I had a long history of editing Wikipedia. It was in these first private messages in which I advised her to create a username and to read the guidelines. Acidskater (talk) 20:28, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Sreedhar Bevara - Sources/Queries
Thank you and appreciate Mr Kartikeya for quick response.

I would agree too not to make it 1) an autobiography (my explanation in the last note was purely to acquaint you on the background) or 2) Promotional. Hence based on your last comments; these things in view of NPOV were carefully presented in the second review upload (as you may please notice).

All I humbly request you or anyone that may have had a query - genuine sources speak for that (I in fact didn't mention few other big names from Gulf region like Dubai Eye 103.8 (which is Dubai’s number one business/english radio channel) & Gulf Today etc). While your suggestions are valuable; hope this edited version qualifies your idea of Wikipedia presentation2.51.51.189 (talk) 19:58, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

It seems to me that you do not give fair service. I have sent you the link published by the Election Commission, which is a government body. Even then you did not accept. If your fairness is ever questioned in future, then at that time we will also agitate against you, and will appeal against you in court. I have saved the comment due to your rejection as a screen shot.

Regarding your draft, it has been declined several times by other reviewers so you should read the decline reason and fix the issues before submitting again for re-review and if you have any questions, you can ask at WP:Teahouse. -- KartikeyaS (talk) 17:51, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia, India is the verification election commission of India to any political party in the country. I sent you the link to the official website of the Election Commission of India, in which the name of the Berojgar Aadmi Adhikar party is mentioned. ( http://ceobihar.nic.in/pdf/562016PPS-III.pdf ) Party name is inscribed on serial number 300. I have also sent you a link to national newspapers like Dainik Bhaskar, in which the news of the Berojgar Aadmi Adhikar Party has been published. Apart from this, a link has also been sent to many other fair news and institutions, in which news related to different electoral activities of the party is published. So I request you to please all the party members by giving our party a place in your Wikipedia.
