Kharaneka Viachaslau
Hi How are you? I saw you posted the Kharaneka Viachaslau article out of the WP:AFC queue into mainspace. Did you not notice the article didn't have a single in-line citation on it, apart from at one sentence and one of the four references is a wikipedia link. I think it should be moved back to draft and let it collect some additional refs. It is a BLP and should have a much higher quality of references.  scope_creep Talk  01:29, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I did notice it. I did some verification of my own and he is indeed a notable person who passes guidelines. He also has articles in multiple over languages. As one of the few people who is going through the insanity known as AfC, if I can find one that is notable I'll let it pass. Someone can always improve it. Feel free to add a tag, edit, improve, remove content if needed, etc. He passes our guidelines, just needs improvements. But, I live in the "improve before disapproving" school of Wikipedians. :) Cheers. Missvain (talk) 04:31, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Coolio. I know what you mean. Afc is hard work and sometimes I find it take 20-30 minutes to check some article. Hard going. The fact he has an article on other language wikipedia is a criteria I use as well. It is a very quick way which I like. For bands, assuming they are signed I look up Spotify, Deezer, Itunes, Youtube and Soundcloud and if they have fairly large, 100k or 200k fans or plays, and some coverage I'm happy. It seems a quick way as well. I see the queue is going up quite a bit since Legacypac left. I think we need a sustained backlog drive for a maybe a week or something, unless we are already at capacity.  scope_creep Talk  13:08, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:St Vincent (Indianapolis).jpg
Thank you for uploading File:St Vincent (Indianapolis).jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:12, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Not sure about if that's the correct tag, but the issue is: even though the sculpture is non-free, and there is no freedom of panorama for 3D artwork in the US, the photograph needs to be free per WP:FREER. The image description page does not mention the license of the photograph, and the link to Flickr is dead so I can't check it. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:32, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Vibha Saraf
Hi, you missed the copyvio in Vibha Saraf, the unsourced BLP stuff, the plain incorrect statements, and the fact that the major source is "paid-for" news content ("advertorial", as is pretty much everything in the "Metro" edition of The Hindu). There are good reasons why that article's creator has been trying unsuccessfully for at least seven years to get the thing into article space, not least of which is dubious notability, regarding which I note that the creator was recently rebuffed by. Any chance of you reverting your move from AfC? - Sitush (talk) 06:23, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * One of out 100 AfCs (what a mess that is) ain't too bad... I'll figure out how to move it back somehow. Missvain (talk) 06:24, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * It looks like you've cleaned it up. I do believe she passes notability guidelines. Thanks for you work. Just because the person submitted a crappy submission originally doesn't mean the content should be turned back into an AfC to just rot there until someone comes around and attempts it again..., in my opinion. So, I'm going to leave it be. If folks want to discuss it, perhaps talk page is best, or nominate for deletion if there is concern about notability. Missvain (talk) 06:26, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * She is not notable and I haven't finished cleaning up. When I have, it will be little more than a two-line stub. You're a very experienced contributor and should know better than not to check for copyvio etc before moving from AfC, especially stuff from India/Pakistan. - Sitush (talk) 06:35, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Feel free to nominate it for deletion and/or speedy. Thanks again for your efforts. Missvain (talk) 06:37, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Or you could just move it back to Draft space and so fix the problem you created. It is obviously poor and should never have been moved in the first place. One day, perhaps, she will actually have a decent number of notable songs against her name but right now, with a couple of minor film contributions, she is many thousands of songs behind the big names in playback singing etc (literally, good singers in Bollywood etc rack up thousands of credits). - Sitush (talk) 06:51, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Not really sure the point of letting it rot in AfC if "one day" she'll pass GNG. I appreciate all of your edits and your contributions to Wikipedia. I prefer you to respect my own decisions and also respect that occasionally mistakes get made. I'd never call any of your contribution messes, so I appreciate if you use a more respectful tone with myself and other editors. I'll handle my "mess." Have a great afternoon. Missvain (talk) 14:41, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi again. Just an FYI: she passes notability guidelines – I expanded her article this morning by utilizing more information from the sources, finding additional sources, and looking at the work she's done. Heck, she was just nominated for a Filmfare Award – the Oscar of Indian film. Have a good day! Missvain (talk) 15:40, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Carola Nossek
I'd like why you'd think that Carola Nossek relies too much on primary sources. Operissimo quotes Kutch/Riemens, the bible of opera singers which alone would be good, - just her page is not available online. + the recordings have many independent sources. Thank you for releasing it from draft space! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:46, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Oops, that was meant to be primary sources! Would love to see some media coverage about her. Cheers! Missvain (talk) 19:02, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, it's not "my" article. LouisAlain (French) kindly translated what's there in German, and on top is recovering from after hospital. I have no time to search. If you are interested you could perhaps help? At the time of her successes, newspapers were not yet on the internet, and she wasn't among those about whom books were written. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:11, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Trying once more: The Kutsch/Riemens Großes Sängerlexikon (quoted in Operissimo) is THE secondary source for singers, and the project opera people have asked me to write a bio on one of its entries alone. Unfortunately, her page is not online, but compare other singers, such as Hermin Esser. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:51, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Feel free to remove the tag if you want. I'm just trying to focus on moving content from the backlog nightmare of AfC right now! I trust you to make the right call :) Missvain (talk) 19:53, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Request on 22:25:33, 4 September 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Justintunes
Hi Miss Vain:

Thank you for your careful review of my draft submission on Mary Lou Newmark. I can easily replace the Broadway World citation with newspaper reviews from critics. I see your point about the need for specific press coverage on Ms. Newmark. When an artist works across categories—composer, playwright, poet—as she does, such media coverage is not easy to gain in this age of celebrity.

A more important point is that Ms. Newmark does appear to meet one of the Wikipedia criteria for composers and lyricists, namely #2: “has written musical theater of some sort that was performed in a notable theater.”  Newmark’s two theater works—“Street Angel Diaries” and “Breathing Room”—have appeared in full theater productions at the Boston Court Pasadena and at the Greenway Court Theatre, both well-respected avant-garde theaters in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

I see that Boston Court is referenced notably in a Wikipedia entry on Robert Miles Fisher. To quote:

“’Street Angels’ is a multimedia project first presented in 2005 in Los Angeles to great critical acclaim. In 2006 the program was presented eight times at the Boston Court Theater in Pasadena. . .”

Bob Fisher was an outstanding painter, but he did not create the “multimedia project” or “the program” of eight performances, at which his paintings were exhibited in the theater lobby. Playwright/composer Mary Lou Newmark did.

(I was initially inspired to write this Wikipedia entry to correct that citation.) The Greenway Court Theatre, at which Newmark won a “Best Musical Score” award from LA theater critics (astonishingly a co-winner with a major Broadway musical score), appears occasionally in Wikipedia entries, most notably for a production of “Orphans” with Al Pacino and Jesse Eisenberg.

thank you for your consideration, Justintunes

The Lady Armani article you created
Hello. I noticed the Lady Armani you created on a new articles list. I held off tagging the article because it was created as part of a project by an experienced editor. Otherwise, the article makes no credible claim of notability per WP:BASIC or WP:ENT. X number of films was removed from the now-deprecated WP:PORNBIO back in 2006. I have looked for additional sources, but even the porn trade press does not have anything independent and non-trivial. If the article is challenged for deletion, it is not likely to survive. Please consider moving it to draft space. • Gene93k (talk) 23:14, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Looks like it should probably be deleted then. I'm not going to be working on expanding it at all. Thanks for letting me know! Missvain (talk) 23:22, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Ukrainian Shumka Dancers
Hello Miss Vain:

Thanks for your feedback on my Ukrainian Shumka Dancers draft. With respect to your copyright concerns, I am the original author of both pages. Per your recommendations, I will be sending an email to the permissions account; is there any other actions you would recommend to prevent my work from being removed? Thanks, studiofourStudiofour (talk) 17:49, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi there! Yes, for copyright and legal reasons we need permission to use any copyrighted material, so sending in that email will be helpful. After that is complete, a volunteer at Articles for Creation will take a look again! Thanks! Also, you shouldn't write articles about businesses or organizations you work for - please check ot WP:Conflict of Interest to learn more. Thanks! Missvain (talk) 17:51, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Draft: Modus_Group review
Hello Missvain. The review of draft:Modus_Group is taking quite long, it was submitted more than three months ago. Would it be possible to know the remaining time for it to be reviewed? Thank you! Vamockute (talk) 12:43, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi User:Vamockute, I don't know. There is a very small group of volunteers who work on that project. Just a bit of feedback – your article reads almost like an advertisement for the company, so consider rewriting it to (1) be as boring as humanly possible and (2) cite everything – if there isn't a reliable secondary source (magazine, newspaper, television coverage, a book written about the company by an outside writer) then it should just be removed. I have a feeling it'll most likely be rejected for being promotional sounding. Also, if you work for the company or are affiliated in anyway, you shouldn't write about it – see WP:COI for more information. Thanks for contributing – I hope you'll consider working on other existing articles about subjects that interest you on Wikipedia! Missvain (talk) 15:10, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

AfC?
Wow. You seem to be kicking ass there lately. Thanks for picking up the slack from losers like me who try to take a break from time to time. lol --CNMall41 (talk) 03:40, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes indeed, great work, thank you! However, I don't believe it can ever be appropriate to move content marked as WP:UDP into mainspace unless you're quite sure the tag is no longer applicable, so I've moved Michael Handler Ruby back to draft space – the reasons are at User talk:Michael Ruby1. I was a little surprised to see it accepted, as I thought it had not been submitted, but it seems that the draftily script had slipped a cog there. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:33, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I take a lot of liberty at AfC. Ruby is notable, so I just accepted it and moved on. What happens to it when I do my clean up is up to everyone else. ;) Don't care if the guy wrote it himself, even though COI is pretty dreadful, he wrote one of the better autobiographical articles I've ever seen, seeing so many crappy ones. Oh well, he'll just have to suffer another six months before someone reviews it again. Bhwhhaaha...thanks for cleaning up my messes! Gratitude! Missvain (talk) 17:48, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

User:CNMall41 – My pleasure. I do it sometimes just to kill time and the backlog is frightening. But, I accept more than I reject – when I start rejecting a bunch of stuff I start getting sad messages from AfC submitters on my talk page and it makes me have a panic attack. So sorry I can't do it all ;) Heheh... Missvain (talk) 17:49, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello Missvain (talk)

I must say that I am sad to hear that a page about a great woman have deleted. I understood that you are helping me in building a good article which is out of plagiarism. I have referenced the material from the news article unaware of this consequence, But I have done a lot of researching on her and gathered many articles which are referenced in the draft page. I am very depressed that those references are also lost. Please help me in recovering those references so that I can start my article again and let the world know about such an environmental friendly woman and a great professor who inspired many students.

Replaceable fair use File:Louise nevelson smoking.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Louise nevelson smoking.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Animalparty! (talk) 20:07, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Louise Nevelson at work.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Louise Nevelson at work.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Animalparty! (talk) 20:09, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Also, it looks like the bar (Sunset Terrace) no longer stands. It was replaced by apartment buildings in the 90s (about three blocks from where I earned my undergrad). Missvain (talk) 19:09, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Mouse Guard
Hi, I was the creator of the draft. I’m just wondering what the reason was for moving it into mainspace? Given it’s not a movie expected to ever be made. Rusted AutoParts 17:49, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Research Help
Hello! I do not know how to really use Wikipedia so forgive me if I'm not doing this right.

I'm working on a history book on the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and I happened to notice that you've worked on a lot of articles about people we're researching who are affiliated with the school. We are having some trouble locating the papers of Louise Nevelson, and I was wondering if we could discuss if your research involved looking at primary sources, or might have some direction. You can contact me here or using the general email on the Skowhegan website.

Sorry if this is weird!

Thanks 72.43.104.170 (talk) 20:34, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, it's not weird! The Nevelson papers are held in the collection of the Archives of American Art. I worked at the Archives and improved the Wikipedia article using the papers onsite. You can find the papers here, which are digitized here. I also used a series of books that I had borrowed from a local DC library. Nevelson is my favorite artist, so it was a fun project. I hope that helps some! Missvain (talk) 20:51, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Recent projects
Greetings Missvain.

Some recent drafts I've been working on including some Ive6 had trouble getting approved include:

I stumbled on Draft:Benjamin Brown French and think he's quite interesting especially for his journal and collection of photographs. Lots more needs to be added. For some reason I'm having trouble getting the villain from a Tarzan movie added, Draft:Armand Cortes. Draft:Golden Crest Records has been tough to get across the goalpost. Draft:Universidad Loyola de Bolivia is a University in Bolivia that I haven't yet been able to get approved to mainspace. Draft:Moses White was a local civil rights leader that I wanted to work on and found someome else had started. Tone and sourcing are still problematic. Draft:Tilford Cinema Corporation is a short-lived but interesting film company. There's Draft:Edgar Jones (actor). Draft:Astra Film Corp seems abundantly notable to me. Draft:Stranded in the Arcady was a book and a movie. Draft:Jim Horne (Florida politician) certainly qualifies for inclusion as a state senator. Draft:Arrington High this fellow is notable. Draft:Gardiner High School (Maine) wants to exist. Seeking approval for Draft:Waka hurdling has been like trying to jump a boat over a log. But probably the toughest time I've had has been with Draft:Bantaskine which I started about an artist who resided there and then broadened out to be about the park, estate, and its history, but still no luck. If any of them interest you that would be terrific, or you'd like me to have a look or help out with any of your projects please let me know.

I also just drafted up some bits on Draft:Luise Vosgerchian who you might find interesting and would seem a good addition to the W.I.R. project. FloridaArmy (talk) 00:34, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Happy Thanksgiving FloridaArmy. I'm on the couch with two broken toes (!!!!) and going to sink some time in to your articles above :) Missvain (talk) 19:02, 28 November 2019 (UTC)


 * So very sorry to hear about your toes!!! At least it's not a hip? Happy Thanksgiving and do what you love. I certainly appreciate all your help. Thank you. Feel better soon!!!!! FloridaArmy (talk) 19:10, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Proinnsías Ó Duinn
Hi! With this edit you blanked Draft:Proinnsías Ó Duinn for listing at WP:CP, but also added a G12 speedy tag. I don't suppose you did that on purpose, so wondered if some script was playing up? I've removed the speedy tag for now, but do please put it back if it was intended. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:06, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi User:Justlettersandnumbers! Yeah, that was surely a glitch! Really strange. Thanks for keeping a watchful eye on things. Missvain (talk) 17:26, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, actually I've seen it before in another nomination of yours; I think I deleted that one, thinking you'd had second thoughts. This time I thought I'd better check with you. Just a thought: is it possible that something has mixed up db-copyvio with copyvio/bottom? Because it's sort of unusual to see the G12 tag placed at the bottom of the text. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:34, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, you know what, it is totally possible did that - mixed the two up. I'll be sure to double check my copy and pasting. Thanks again! Missvain (talk) 17:36, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Nellie Talbot Kinkead
I haven't submitted this one because I can't find a lot of coverage. Any suggestions? Father notable? Are you seeing better sourcing? FloridaArmy (talk) 23:53, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think she'll pass the test - even on my end. I did a bit of research and found just really small mentions or name drops but nothing significant to pass WP:GNG. Looks like she'll have to stay in the sandbox until more information surfaces! Missvain (talk) 19:00, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for having a look! Her dad had a NYT obituary and seems to be notable so perhaos I can merge into a combined entry. I hope you're all healed up and stsying warm. Thanks again for all your help. FloridaArmy (talk) 00:28, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's the challenge - just because dad was notable doesn't mean she can have her own article. So yes, good idea just to mention her in the article about him. Staying warm - I'm in California so it's just rainy and overcast. Florida sounds nice, right now! :) Missvain (talk) 16:26, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Anastasiya Makarevich
Please check the Draft:Anastasiya Makarevich, I added more than 25 links to quality sources, it's been a long time since a decision has been made Savcheg (talk) 23:53, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
