Draft: Hily (app)
Hi Theroadislong - Thank you for reviewing Draft: Hily (app). Can you offer feedback as to which sections in the draft need reworking to meet neutrality guidelines? E-Stylus (talk) 20:28, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Well for a start terms like "Leveraging his experience, Pronin created Hily as a secure platform aimed at improving the way people connect" and "Hily maintains a safe environment through prioritizing user safety and platform security" are over the top promotional. Theroadislong (talk) 21:00, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Noted. I've worked on removing the promotional language. If possible, can you take a look to see if further revision is needed? Thanks. E-Stylus (talk) 22:43, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Theroadislong - Just following up on your feedback regarding the draft's tone revisions. The content refers to independent, reliable, published sources to meet verifiability guidelines and establish notability. Thanks. E-Stylus (talk) 13:43, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your review, follow up
Dear reviewer,

Thanks for the input/work that you provide to the users of Wikipedia.

I understand that your rejection of the "Scotching" contribution was due to the lack of information that was provided / lack of resources and data on the subject.

I would appreciate if you could guide me further in order to know which elements (lenght, depth, etc) I should take into consideration for my submission to be accepted.

This being a new form of art that i am a fan of, I would like to make sure that it has its own definition and description as it is normally confused with other forms of tape work.

Best regards,

Whizz Recordings declination
Why is Whizz Recordings advertising? It does not sell products, nor does it make money from it's music. I am also not related or associated with the company, but I do know a lot about it due to a long-running friendship with one of the founders, and I am merely setting this up due to the limited amount of information available on the record label. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inconspicuous Stick (talk • contribs) 16:09, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * It reads like an advert because all it is doing is promoting what they do. Your friendship means you have a conflict of interest. Notability is judged by looking at the depth of coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources containing significant coverage. Some degree of regional, statewide, national, or international media coverage is also required.  Most businesses are not suitable subjects for an encyclopedia article. Your draft has no reliable sources, YouTube is not a reliable source. Theroadislong (talk) 16:26, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Talk page question.
Hi, thank you so much for the comment on my draft article. I already disclosed on my own talk page that I was paid, per Wikipedia's note when you try to publish an article. Do I also have to do it on the individual page I'm publishing? I read this on wikipedia about it "They must do this on their main user page, or on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or in edit summaries." It says first I can do it on my main user page. I hope that works! I hope in the future to edit more pages and I might get paid by others and add it there too, unless you say the actual talk page is mandatory? Thank you again. Tuuzi (talk) 22:53, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Talk Page Warning for Edit Warring RE William Lane Craig Article
Good Evening Theroadislong, I appreciate the warning on my talk page about the recent edits to the William Lane Craig article and I sympathize with why it would appear that I am edit warring. However, I'd like to point out that I am engaged on the talk page and that I am only reverting the edits of another user who has 5 consecutive reverts across two other editors now and who has consistently not engaged on the talk page. The reverts are an attempt to maintain the page as was agreed to on multiple occasions until a consensus is reached on the talk page for further changes. This is not an edit war in the classic sense, but an attempt by an editor to impose a change on a page without discussion. Squatch347 (talk) 23:22, 6 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Bumping this comment. Again, please note before leaving warnings on my page that I am editing inline with the talk page discussion and actively involved in a talk page discussion.  Selective warnings to me while ignoring the consistent edits by others to remove content repeatedly agreed to in talk page archives is not productive to resolution. Squatch347 (talk) 15:27, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

To add preposition.
Respected sir, Yesterday, I browsed about Dr Shamsheer vayalil on wikipedia. There I saw an infobox in that an alma mater column is present. In that name of two medical colleges are given; 1.) Kasturba Medical College, Manipal. 2.) Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, Chennai. Sir, I request you to add preposition "in" between the name of second medical college (described up)and the name of the city where it is located.

Note: This preposition is "not"needed in first medical college name and it's location name.

Thankyou. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.230.167.2 (talk) 17:39, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

"Mícheál Mór" "City Sue"
Hi

You've rejected "Mícheál Mór angus City Sue" as not relevant enough to merit a wikipedia article. But if you Google "Mícheál Mór" "City Sue" you get over 100 entries and two pages of video uploads. The provenance of this poem has long been unknown, and so to reveal it now is something of interest in Irish oral culture - are you expert in that, may I ask? I would want to expand the page with later versions

Hi Theroadislong how are you?
I am sorry that my addition to the Prince biography broke rules/upset you/violated something. I added the info because it is true. I went to St Louis U School of Med 80-85 (took a year off trying to decide whether I wanted to do Residency at Mayo Clinic vs NY. We met by accident in Minneapolis and developed a strong attachment - I was not in the music world, and he and I became very close friends and confidantes. I will NEVER sell our secret info ... ever, but I just thought that it would be disrespectful to Prince not to acknowledge our deep friendship. I decided to go to NY, he ended up not marrying Ms Melvoin but they remained friends ... at a distance lol. Since she worked with him, as did almost all of his friends/associates ... the working relationships often bring out different personality qualities (as many in V Fair commented) He was intrinsically kind and soft and good. He enjoyed conversation and jokes and non music related stories. He wasnot cold or harsh. Anyways Theroadislong ( and it seems too damn long for me@) respectfully I say I did not IMHO "vandalize" his bio. Please tell me what I did wrong? Thanks! PS I chose NY where I am a physician ... on leave bc I was a 9/11 first responder and have a potpourri of medical issues. Prince and I are (were) the same age - perhaps you are younger and do not feel the "joy" of the joint pain of a life well lived!

Articles for creation: Dubblestandart
Dear Theroadislong,

I understand and respect that Wikipedia needs to keep the highest standards when approving new articles, However, i am disappointed that it still didn't go through. All i want is reasonable information for the English speaking world about the band. A German Wikipedia site already exists. Dubblestandart is a band from Vienna, Austria(which is not really known for very many acts becoming internationally known)who produced a full length album with Grammy winning Lee Perry, Ariup from the Slits and film director David Lynch, toured with them and many more since 3 decades! The website https://www.discogs.com/artist/26293-Dubblestandart?page=1 lists the band with more than 30 international releases. The reference section has a long list of internationally known producers and musicians who worked with them. All this are independent sources and i don't understand what's the issue here. This given the fact that the band is already listed on the German Wikipedia site with far less detailed information.https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubblestandart They are mentioned on David Lynchs Wikipedia entry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lynch_discography As well as on Lee Perrys Wikipedia entry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_%22Scratch%22_Perry The collaboration of Dubblestandart & Subatomic Sound System and Lee Perry also put New Yorks Subatomic Sound System on the map! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subatomic_Sound_System

Of course most of the mentions belong to the past but it is a pretty unique thing that this band made it that far, given the fact that they always have been working 100% independent and coming from a country that is lesser known for delivering acts in that field.

Please think about and i really would appreciate if u could approve the information i put together and put the article online. A lot of people looking for information concerning this band, will thank you.:)

Many thanks!

Hi, Thanks for your prompt reply. I just saw the guidelines and I think I may have goofed at a place as I approved a submission based on my knowledge of the subject.

Saffron Wiehl article declined
Hi Theroadislong,

Thanks for reviewing my article. But I don't agree that this isn't a notable topic. Saffron is an artist that has worked hard and sold a lot of her work in the past years. So is her mother Shireen Mody. They haven't been much on the internet limelight as they literally work as artists every day from morning till evening... I feel it should be written about them as they are 2 strong women that live in India and make a living off of their art. If this is a topic that's not notable then I think it is quite unfair cause there are so many people out there with a Wikipedia page with less to speak for themselves.

Please consider if this article might be published with maybe more information about the individual.

Also I was about to write an article about her mother who has been an artist since the 70's and they don't have a lot to show on social media since they don't invest their time in social media marketing, but they definitely are notable personalities.

Thanks for your time..

How to get this wiki approved
hi i would need your advice on how to get this wiki approved. could you let me know how does this article qualifies as wikipedia?

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

this is my page User:Kschay/sandbox

 * The page you linked does not exist, it has been moved to Draft:Kwai Chai Hong. Regards, CiaPan (talk) 05:53, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , an acceptable Wikipedia article summarizes what reliable, independent published sources say about the topic, and includes references to those sources. Your draft contains no references, and cannot possibly be accepted into the encylopedia until you add those references. Your draft fails two policies: it is not verifiable and seems to consist of original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  06:45, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Hey, Theroadisalong

I noticed you declined the Draft:Belle Delphine page back on June 1st. I never actually helped create the draft but I actually created Belle Delphine instead today after noticing significantly more notability. If you find that's it's good, and notable enough, I'd gladly want it reviewed. Also that draft was definitely copyvio AdrianWikiEditor (talk) 10:19, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your advice, it is well taken, and I will attempt to correct the issues you've raised.

I've asked for the assistance of a colleague who does not have a COI, as you've pointed out that my relationship to the subject may indeed be a factor in the article tone. It may be a wiser choice in my situation to make a suggestion for an article from another editor, rather than try to write the article myself.

I will research this further, and I appreciate your suggestions.

Only actor not recognized by Wikipedia in several films and projects in which he was a lead, supporting lead role...
As recommended I will pull all IMDB notations, but when I researched the wide array of films and television that Michael Buie has been a part of, I've noticed that he is often the only actor listed without his own link within the system...I was looking to rectify this.

Draft:Mark L. Hinshaw, FAIA FAICP
Thank you for your feedback. A group of Mark's colleagues suggested an article for Wikipedia about a year ago, and as no-one had any experience writing an article, I volunteered to try and learn how to do so.

It was not my intent to promote Mark, rather I was the only one of several who had the time and writing experience to take on the project. However, my writing experience is not on Wikipedia, and it has been a challenge to learn all of the different rules as well as how to use the platform. Although I've read many articles about how to write on Wikipedia, it seems I still haven't quite mastered the information.

I was unaware about the COI rule until it was brought up, and I actually do not know where information of this sort should be placed on the entry. I am not unwilling to disclose anything, merely ignorant of how this information should be disclosed and where.

Were it possible to have another author work on this, as well as any future edits, I certainly would be happy to turn the project over to someone else. To that end, Mark has contacted his editor as well as the colleagues I spoke with originally, to inquire if a person without a COI can take over the project. Like me, Mark was unaware of the COI rule, and does not wish to either stress his wife (me), or cause issues of any kind.

Whatever my personal opinion, I was approached by a number of architects who believed Mark's contributions were important enough to add to Wikipedia, or I would not have agreed to take on such a task.

I appreciate your assistance, and I will hopefully turn over this endeavour to a person more suited to the task.

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019


Hello ,

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important. Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR. The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever. NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so  you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations. Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for  the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging. Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway. School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Jorgen odegard decline
Hey Theroadislong!

Hope all is well. I happen to notice a decline for Jorgen Odegard’s wiki page which is totally okay because I’m very new to creating wiki pages. My goal is to improve and help songwriters and producers’ lifes with publishing & management company by creating sources of all their music credit and praises as this is one of the most useful tools publishing companies use to determine their qualifications for sessions, pub deals, and so much more! Also as you mentioned, the information on the producer is lacking and scattered all over the internet, which is why this wiki page is super important for a lot of these producers and songwriters.

That being said, would love your thoughts and suggestions that’ll help this process. To give you an idea, I used Sarah Aarons as a reference who’s another songwriter with a similar amount of credibility as jorgen in this industry. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Aarons Again, would love your input!

Argyros Theater in Idaho
Hello,

I have reviewed your decline decision. It states, in part: "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject."

I do not understand this reasoning. Five separate articles have been attached, all of which are not just "passing mentions." Each article is entirely about the Argyros Theater In fact, the title of the venue, The Argyros, appears in the subject line of each article.

Second, each of these five sources is "published, reliable, [and] secondary."

Can you please let me know why this article has been declined?
