J. Desai
Hi there. The article for Draft:J. Desai was moved to Draft by a user who somehow construed this conversation here to fit with the consensus "Move to draft" - which was not an opinion given by any of the people in the conversation. This is not a measure which is usually taken against first-class cricketers. Raju's suggestion that the article does not meet WP:CRIN is nonsense. I don't believe there was consensus in the AfD discussion but enough nastiness has been shared over this issue over the last year.

Feel free to do what you wish. Enough of the Cricket Wikiproject was hacked down as it is, so deleting this draft article makes no real difference either way. Bobo. 12:54, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

This obviously wasn't ready to be moved anywhere. Do not submit other people's drafts when they clearly aren't ready. Taking even the smallest amount of time to look at who created the draft to see that it was a long term editor would have given you a hint that I know how to create, manage, and finish a draft. Don't make more work for reviewers by submitting things like this. --Majora (talk) 20:39, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Submitting others' drafts for review
As an AfC reviewer, there is no reason for you to be submitting other people's drafts for review unless one of the draft's authors asks you to. If you feel that an abandoned draft is ready to be moved to mainspace (you have done the due diligance involved with an AfC review to make sure the subject is notable, there are no copyright violations, there are sufficient sources, and there isn't already an existing article on the subject) WP:STALEDRAFT says to just move it directly yourself -- no reason to add it to the queue. If you feel that the draft is not ready, then either improve it, nominate it at MfD, or let it fall into G13 after six months. Also, keep in mind that not all drafts are written with the intention of being submitted to AfC (some may be drafts of planned improvements to existing articles, for example). --Ahecht (TALK PAGE ) 21:15, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Propagation-based Stereo Matching
Regarding your comment, I'm confused. If you think the page should be deleted, why did you move it from userspace to draft, and submit it for review? That just makes work for other people, i.e. me, who spent the time to review it. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:20, 19 May 2018 (UTC) PAGE ]]) 21:35, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I did not think it was too bad in the first place. I am trying to sort though the stale drafts category, and I submit the drafts that should have a chance to be reviewed. If it is not notable, it doesn't have to wait 6 months before being g13'ed and can be deleted. This one was stuck as stale for 5 years. -- &raquo; Shadowowl  &#124;  talk  18:24, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * But, it was sitting in somebody's private user sandbox. Why does anybody care if it sits there forever?  Anyway, if you think it should be deleted, at this point I suggest you send it to WP:MFD.  -- RoySmith (talk) 18:31, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Just let it sit for six months and be G13'd. There's zero rush to have it deleted. Primefac (talk) 14:51, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Great American Doll Company
Hello there. Could you please tell me which parts of my article are written where my article starts to sound like an advert? I used a quite a few references, is it OK to have a few that link back to the manufacturer page? I'm not sure how else I would be able to find info on some parts, like the dolls that were created. Is it OK if I use the manufacture page to get info like that? Can you please tell me which parts I need to reword? Much appreciated!

 * Sentences like the company quickly rose to become one of the most sought after collectable doll companies in the world, The firm is most famous for designing, the company became the proud owners of one are promotional and should be removed.

Dear Sir (Madam). Thank you very much for defending my article. Please, can you defend my work on maps of that region, from user "RoySmith". He is clearly personally against my work. And he is making false statement about me. I never claimed making space satellite photos myself, this is ridiculous of what he is trying to accuse me!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_the_Armenian_highland_and_Caucasus_mountains_12_12284.jpeg This is like personal attacks on me from RoySmith.

He wants to delete my maps just because they are bothering him and he just wants to do that.

 * you seem to be taking this personally. My only concern here is that we comply with copyright policy, and that requires correct attribution.  If the base photo is indeed public domain, that's great, but you need to provide the correct documentation for that.  See, for example, how somebody else did it correctly.  NASA is credited as being the author, and a URL (which, sadly, appears to be broken) is provided pointing to where the original was found.  Note that in the link you provide above, the license statement says, "This iconographic material is Public Domain ( Public Domain ) under US law and may be used without restriction. You must nevertheless mention its author."

Of course I taking that personally. It is obvious, you sir here to only attack my work. I guess it is your job now. It was perfectly clear I did not claim NASA's satellite photo is main, but you stated like I did. I explained already to public what it is all about. First of all ,the appearance of the image was changed from it's natural,original view to artistic more colorful look, even before labels of description was pouted on it. So, it is already not the same image, which was taken by NASA.Эльбрус Казбекович (talk) 16:29, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

You are lying about my work again sir. The image you provide for example is not like main. It is just plain satellite photo of the Earth's region without any changes of appearance and without any descriptions on it. The image I downloaded is turned into original looking map with explanations on it.Эльбрус Казбекович (talk) 16:47, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Looking for clarification on your review & decline of Analytic Theology submission by jmg5041
Hi Shadowowl. First, thank you for reviewing the entry for Analytic Theology and for the service you provide to the Wikipedia community. Seriously; thanks. Second, I see the reasons given for the rejection but I could really use a few specifics because I can't tell which features of the article correspond to the problems listed in the response. It says >

"This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner."

Ok, so the article has 28 references from almost exclusively academic journals and books so I'm guessing citations are not the issue?? Is there a section that seems overly opinionated? I'm not trying to quibble; I genuinely need input here. Is it the diagrams? Is it that I discuss opinions on what AT is? If an article did not list out opinions on what AT is, and instead just listed one view then _that_ would certainly be a biased article. I try to list out three views. For example an article on Quantum Mechanics would certainly discuss the various "opinions" of physicists as to which model of interpretation is best (e.g. Heisenberg, Bohm, etc..). Likewise an article on Analytic Theology would list out some opinions of what AT is... because....currently in the academic literature that .. just is... part of the going discussion (i.e. "What is Analytic Theology - merely a method of doing theology in a philosophical style OR an attempt by theologians with philosophical training to defend orthodox Christianity). If an article says AT is just one or the other, it is not objectively reporting the state of scholarship on AT.

Regarding writing the article less like an essay, I attempted to write it based around un-connected thematic sections (rather than) like an essay with a thesis, sections defending the thesis, smooth transitions and a conclusion. I organized it around definition, history, geography, example literature, criticisms. What do I need to be more encyclopedia like? So again, I can't tell what is essay-like about the article that needs eliminating. Your help is requested in seeing more specifically what needs to be changed. Again, thanks. . Jesse (jmg5041)

Hi Shadowowl,

I'm trying to get some more insight on why it's not appropriate to have an album page for a band. Re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Give_It_Back_to_You

Both you and Legacypac wrote: Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Give It Back to You instead. (this redirects back to the band's (The Record Company's) main page,

Plenty of legit bands have album pages separate from their main band page. Many legitimate citations were provided for this album page. Could you give any further insight as to why this album page isn't making the cut?

Please, don't decline my draft. You have no reasonable and/or factible motive to do so
Hi. You hinted that the martial artist I'm writting about, is not of the "tier" high enough to have a Wikipedia page, as I understood; because "she doesn't have 3 fights in a 'top-tier' organization".

Who decided, and why, that 'Combate-Americas' isn't of the high enough tier/level, for the fighters of its roster to have an article in Wikipedia? There are many martial artists with less experience and less level (based on their ranking and martial arts belt grade) that have a wikipedia page; fighters that haven't competed in the "top-tier" organizations that were defined in the article "WikiProject Mixed martial arts/MMA notability". Combate Americas has several highly ranked fighters, by well-recognized webpages and organizations (like Sherdog, Tatpology, Fight Matrix, etc.); for examples: Érik Pérez, ranked #33 in the world at bantamweight; Kyra Batara, ranked #20 in the world at atomweight; etc.

And Melissa Martínez, the fighter I'm making my draft about, is a world-class kickboxer: Winner of silver medal at the 'World Games 2017'- Kickboxing world championships, panamerican kickboxing champion, , among other things...

Please, check out again the draft I'm creating Melissa Martínez (fighter), reconsider your decision. PLEASE. I'm basing on facts to argue that Melissa Martinez has the notability enough to have a Wikipedia page. I spent a lot of time and effort in creating this draft, and I know it doesn't deserve to be declined. Thank you very much for your time, and I hope you be comprehensive and empatic to me.

I suggest that some of your colleagues should learn manners. All I ever wanted to do was tell the story of my former American football club, even my photos were deleted without my consent.

AfC Decline of Draft:Raphidiophrys drakena
Hello! I saw that you declined the draft Draft:Raphidiophrys drakena about a year ago with the rationale that the topic may not meet WP:GNG. I moved it to mainspace per Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes. The common outcomes page speaks specifically to plants and animals, but in general it seems the same is applied here to all published species. Sometimes it can be hard for a reviewer to check the refs since too many biology journals are behind paywalls.

Response to your comment on my draft: Kopparapu Poets
With reference to your comments on my draft: Kopparapu Poets, I request you to go through the earlier discussion on the same points that you raised in your post. Unfortunately new editors/administrators keep on visiting the draft and repeat the comments of the earlier editors/administrators who have been duly answered on the same issues. Kindly note the following points before  you argue any further.

1. At the time of your declining my fresh resubmission, the discussion on the suitability of the draft: Kopparapu poets has been moved to TEAHOUSE for expanding the discussion on contentious issues raised by User: Robert McClenon,User: Legacypac, User: Paulscrawl, User:Discospinster, etc.

2. Sufficient links and references have been incorporated in the text as well as references on the notability of the poet duo.

3. Independent verifiable external links have been added to support my draft, and articles similar to this draft posted on wikipedia have been cited to suggest to the editors/administrators to go through such posts on English wikipedia to arrive at informed dicisions. See the posts Tirupati Venkata Kavulu, Nanduri Sambasiva Rao which are not based on any strong independent verifiable sources or references.

4. As I went on pointing out the inconsistent policies the editors/administrators have applied to various posts at different times, the new editors like you enter the field and repeat the issues which have been settled during discussion.

5. User: Robert McClenon raised the issue of quality of English of the draft. But, it seems you and User: Legacypac, User: Discospinster, User:CambridgeBayWeather did not appear to have any such problem. As User: Robert McClenon repeatedly raised the issue of quality of English, User: Paulscrawl suggested that he too felt the need of a co-author. He even suggested to translate the Telugu draft in Telugu Wikipedia to be posted here.

6. I responded to all the comments of the  User: Robert McClenon,User: Legacypac, User: Paulscrawl, User:Discospinster, etc in Teahouse talk page. Meanwhile, you have posted your comments on my drat page:Kopparapu Poets.

7. Please develop a mechanism to resolve the issues of draft rather than complicate it. Presently editors/admins are quite whimsical in their posts declining a draft much well written and supported by independent verifiable sources and references on one silly pretext or the other.

MUMACHA2203 (talk) 15:39, 7 June 2018 (UTC)


 * 1. User:MUMACHA2203 - I have repeatedly asked you not to top-post.  I have moved your long comments to the bottom where they belong.  If you don't know how to post to talk pages, ask for help rather than guessing that you should top-post.  Robert McClenon (talk) 18:51, 7 June 2018 (UTC)


 * 2. Our comments were not inconsistent.  The fact that other reviewers did not mention the poor quality of the English does not mean that they thought it was good, only that they did not mention it.  The draft is not "much well written", and that phrase does not read well for an American.  (I don't know about a Briton.)


 * 3. I tried to centralize the discussion at the Teahouse and keep a record of it on the draft talk page.  You are complicating the discussion by asking a large number of questions on the talk page of yet another editor.


 * 4. I will comment more later.  Robert McClenon (talk) 18:51, 7 June 2018 (UTC)


 * (talk page watcher): Just curious, if (quoting your statement) "new editors/administrators keep on visiting the draft and repeat the comments of the earlier editors/administrators," how about you post these concerns on the draft talk page and ping/reply (Template:ping; click edit and see how I have pinged you if you want to see an example) to editors there? I just want to help you centralize the discussion a bit.  Cheers, JustBerry (talk) 01:28, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
 * User:MUMACHA2203 - The draft in question is Draft:Kopparapu Duo Poets. You say that you want a mechanism for resolving the issues of the draft rather than complicating them, but you are the one who is complicating the discussion.  First, you persistently top-post your comments, after being told over and over that top-posted comments are likely to be ignored.  Maybe you think that this is a clever way to get attention, but it is really a way to be ignored, because an editor looks to the bottom of their talk page.  Or maybe you just don't know how to use talk pages.  If so, ask for advice, rather than running around talking without listening.  Second, you post your comments to the pages of multiple editors, and then wonder why you get such different answers.  Try keeping the discussion in one place, such as at the Teahouse.  Third, try spelling the names of reviewers correctly.  The fact that you repeatedly misspell names suggests that you aren't really trying, and that you expect other editors to do your work for you.  Fourth, when you want to talk about your draft, provide its name, just as I did above.  Robert McClenon (talk) 17:19, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Fifth, you can always move your draft into article space and risking Articles for Deletion. That might be better than just annoying large numbers of reviewers by posting to multiple talk pages and complaining about multiple answers.  Sixth, do you really want a centralized discussion?  If so, please post a question at the Teahouse and ask the editors to discuss on the draft talk page.  Maybe you don't want a centralized discussion.  Maybe you only want to deal with as many reviewers as possible separately in the hope that one will accept your draft.  If you do want a centralized discussion, and don't know how to do it, just ask.  I know that you don't want to ask questions, because you think that you already know the answers, but it really does help to ask questions sometimes.  Robert McClenon (talk) 17:19, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Draft:History of the Kurfürstendamm
Dear reviser, you declined submission of my draft and posted a template giving the reasons of your choice. Could you elaborate on them?

submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia

 * Can you tell me if this applies to the whole of my text or only to some parts of it, and which?
 * Is it a matter of tone and style, or of content?
 * Can you indicate which "company or individual" seems to be "promoted" by my text?
 * Can you show the passages that I should change?
 * Do I sound too interested in the subject of the article and that contradicts the principle that articles should "be written from a neutral point of view"?

independent, reliable, published sources
Each bit of information included in the article is supported by a citation form a published work or (in one instance) from a Internet Site (the official Internet Site of the city of Berlin). One or two sources appear several times,because they are comprehensive works on the subject of the article. I didn't either copy nor resume them, but several bits of information can be verified through those works.

Would you indicate how should I change this aspect of my article?

Thank you

Dear Shadow Owl

thank you so much for your comments on the Thomas Clough Daffern article about copyright issues

actually, there is no copyright violation as the author of the other website gave his permission to use the material 100%

however,to make this absolutely straightforward, the other page has now been totally altered and changed so there is no longer any possible copyright issue here about this page

hopefully therefore this now satisfies your criteria and you change your mind and alter this decision accordingly..

thank you,

"The Kurfürstendamm, an avenue in the western districts of Berlin, was built during the 1880s, when the territory of those districts was being urbanized. It became rapidly one of the ‘’boulevards’’ of the German capital. Its history mirrors the vicissitudes of the social, cultural and political history of Germany."

Your reason to decline my article 'Child Guidance Centre (Japan)' is unwarranted
Hello. You rejected my article on tha ground that '[t]his submission appears to be taken from http://www.hrw.org/sites/default/files/reports/japan0514_ForUpload_0.pdf'. Unfortunately however, this is totally unwarranted claim. Although I indeed referred to the report of the Human Rights Watch you cited, it is only one of the various sources I deployed to compile my draft. You stated that it 'appears', i.e. you confessed that you rejected my draft without hard evidences. If you still keep asserting your claim, you should provide me with hard EVIDENCEs which support it, by comparing quotes from my draft and those from the report from Human Rights Watch and show these two coincide in many parts of my draft. If you cannot show me the evidences, I will resubmit the draft again shortly. --CGCJapan (talk) 13:52, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Oops, I used the wrong page in the copyvio decline. The correct link you copied from is . You copied various parts, as shown here. -- &raquo; Shadowowl  &#124;  talk  15:52, 18 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Your anti-plagiarism software COPYVIOS is not functioning properly or somehow rigged. The file  is titled 'Consideration of reports submitted by States parties under article 44 of the Convention -- Concluding observations: Japan'.  It is the list of recommendations to Japan issued by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in 2010.  It covers whole issues on the situation of the child rights in Japan and points out possible infringements on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, NOT limited to the issues on the child guidance centre.  In fact, only several paragraphs of the 2010 recommendation are devoted to the issues on child guidance centre (especially paras. 62 and 63), which consist of just a few hundred words. How I can copy 'various parts' from such short passages and end up with >60% plagiarism?  You should check it by yourself using your naked eyes, without using COPYVIOS, if you are in doubt.  I would like to stress that there is NO plagiarism in the article that I submitted.  I therefore strongly request your reconsideration, else, I resubmit it again shortly since your rejection has no proper rationale.  --CGCJapan (talk) 09:42, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

WP:ORGNAME
I’ve just declined two of your UAA reports based on apparent WP:ORGNAME violations. In both cases, there was nothing in the ediotr’s contributions linking them to an organization that matched their username, and I saw no sign of a real-world organization by that name in a web search. Please be more careful when reporting and if the connection is not obvious you need to explain why it is a blatant violation. thanks. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:51, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

LaTurbo Avedon
Hey Shadowowl,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to respond so I apologize if it's not.

I understand how LaTurbo Avedon's description would be confusing because of the pronouns and the non-human nature of the avatar. LaTurbo is an artist that exists entirely as an avatar on the internet. They are not publicly associated with any human artist (and I am not the creator). They prefer the pronoun "they" instead of "he" or "she", as is common with people who don't identify with the gender binary.

I hope this clears things up. I believe the references included in my draft should be more than adequate for approval, especially compared to the page of Halim Shah, who I noticed you recently approved with much lesser qualifications, references and international stature. I'll resubmit the article and copy/paste the first part of this in the new submission.

Thank you, T — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tschear (talk • contribs) 20:23, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

To decline 'La Cinémathèque Méliès'
Bonjour :-)

I'm not surprise about you're declining my article La Cinémathèque Méliès, it was also discussed for the french article : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion:Cin%C3%A9math%C3%A8que_M%C3%A9li%C3%A8s/Suppression and be mainted for :

- The encyclopedic subject that Georges Méliès is.

- The historical interest of this non-profit organisation in preservation and restoration of films

- The testimony of the familly action in preservation of Georges Méliès memory

The Cinémathèque Méliès is already linked as a source in Georges Méliès article : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_M%C3%A9li%C3%A8s#cite_note-FOOTNOTECin%C3%A9math%C3%A8que_M%C3%A9li%C3%A8s20137-6

The place of the familly was questioned in the discussion page : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Georges_M%C3%A9li%C3%A8s#Family

We also work with the familly to improve the Georges Méliès article which is a very US point of view. The main reference is the Miriam Rosen article which is quite incomplete.
