 Thanks for uploading File:Dodgeball 1 1.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:18, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

CarmenRodriguez91
Hi SweetCanadianMullet. Thanks for welcoming me to Wikipedia. I have just submitted my first article, which I created in my sandbox. While this first article is being reviewed, I'd like to start drafting that in my sandbox. Can I just delete my first article from my user sandbox, now that it's submitted? Or can I create a second sandbox, and if so, how?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

--CarmenRodriguez91 (talk) 00:07, 9 April 2017 (UTC) CarmenRodriguez91


 * Thank you! You can delete the redirect on your sandbox (#REDIRECT Draft:Article) and work there. If you are planning to submit it to AFC, it is best to start and edit it in the draft space (Draft:Article). --SweetCanadianMullet 04:10, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Query re Acharya Polytechnic
Hello, I just wondered if you could explain why you rated Acharya Polytechnic as a WP:Good Article without it seemingly going through any of the assessment or review procedures let alone even being nominated via the GA process? I am removing the assessment, but would appreciate some insight into why you made this decision. Mabalu (talk) 09:25, 10 April 2017 (UTC)


 * That´s odd, I don´t recall adding GA class to that. I wouldn´t add GA without the procedure, but thank you for removing that, not sure what happened. I do remember that it had a good article top icon or something of that nature, so I´m not quite sure. SweetCanadianMullet 12:38, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmmm.... I wonder if our article creator added the template and the rest was just automated...? If so, someone's been a little naughty.... Mabalu (talk) 13:25, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Aha! It's a duplication of Acharya Institute of Technology - I've just speedied it for that reason. Mabalu (talk) 13:35, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

01:30:31, 11 April 2017 review of submission by Jammin75
Hi, I'm a little confused on why you're not acknowledging my subject's notability and the reviewer before yourself had not questioned it but only questioned my reliable sources. I've proven my subject is notable as she had a charting single in the New Zealand National chart and also charted in Japan. Is that not notable? I also believe my sources are reliable. Please explain why yet again this article has been rejected? Thanks Jammin75 (talk) 01:30, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I declined it for notability. I'm looking over the draft again and she is notable. I'm submitting it to mainspace now. SweetCanadianMullet 13:54, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Paul Fox (Singer)
Hi SweetCanadianMullet,

Thanks for reviewing my article: The reason I am trying to submit this page firstly is because if you Google 'Paul Fox Reggae' the first result is a Wikipedia page about Paul Fox of the Ruts who died a few years ago. We have the same name and this means that many people think I am dead! I am working in the same section of the reggae scene as a number of other people who have Wikipedia pages and I used their pages as a guideline to what is required as they were obviously approved. Below are a couple of examples of Wikipedia pages which either have the same level of links regarding 'notability' or less (and in some cases no working reference links at all). Please could you let me know if they were approved why my page has not been approved.

Many thanks and your time is much appreciated.

Edit conflict on Margaret Wharton

15:23:02, 17 July 2017 review of submission by DCooney
Dear SweetCanadianMullet, Thank you for taking the time to review my submission. I don't understand what sources need to be foot noted. Do you mean the links under "references" or do you mean the links in the body of the submission? Any advice is very appreciated. Sincerely, Daniel Cooney

Thank you for reviewing my submission.
Dear Sweet Canadian Mullet,

Thank you for reviewing my submission. This is my first Wikipedia entry and I am quite overwhelmed. Are you suggesting that all my inline citations should be footnoted or just the references listed under "References". I'm afraid that I don't understand what you are saying when you say to use footnotes. What needs to be footnoted? Thank you for your assistance.

DCooney (talk) 15:41, 17 July 2017 (UTC)Daniel Cooney
 * Footnotes means that references are cited inline and supports statements made in the article directly. To make a footnote, add, and put   in the ref tags. For instructions on how to use  , see the cite web template syntax. For more information regarding footnotes, see WP:IC. SweetCanadianMullet (talk) 17:06, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Charles Domingo
Thank you for accepting my article on Charles Domingo for publication on 4th July, however I have to question your award of a C-class to it. My experience is that a number of Wikipedia editors do this as a default option, without considering how much effort has gone into the production of an article. Of course, you must be bound by Wikipedia's quality scale, but it is difficult for me to fit your grading into the published criteria.

A C-class is one "...missing important content or contains much irrelevant material..." and which "...fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class". It is difficult to see what content, important or otherwise is missing, as the article effectively contains all that is known about Charles Domingo and it describes no more or less than his career without any extraeneuos material. If you think otherwise, please let me know.

As to the listed criteria for B-class, I don't think that items 1 to 3 or 6 are in question, but if you think so, please let me know. As to 4. there is no undeniably authentic photograph of Domingo, I cannot think of any other relevant material to include and such items are encouraged rather than required. As to whether or not it is reasonably well-written, I'm open to comments, but it appears to me to be neutral and grammatically correct.

I realise that you are busy and may feel you have done enough by simply accepting the article, but to me a C-class that seems unjustified is something of a kick in the teeth. Colonial African history may not be your field but I trust you will givecredit where it is due and revise the grading.

Continue?9876543210 moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Continue?9876543210, 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 follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. - The   Magnificentist  09:13, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
