Indoor Advertising
Hi, I just submitted two drafts of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Indoor_Advertising. Please consider the later because is has some errors corrected. Thank you. Fraredemptor (talk) 09:50, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * As you have been told the draft is "riddled with problems" tone is not appropriate and we already have an article on advertising. Theroadislong (talk) 09:54, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * My article refers to a specific form of advertising - indoor advertising. This is different from put of home advertising and this is the sole purpose of my article. I have tried to correct the problems of my article. Please take a look at it. Fraredemptor (talk) 10:22, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello Theroadislong, can you please mention why I used copyrighted content? All the informations given on the article is from the official website of bKash Limited. Hence, it will be really helpful if you could inform me about the copyrighted details so that I can recover accordingly. Sakib.mahboob (talk) 12:43, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Exactly, you also said in your edit summary "All the informations are taken from their official website: https://www.bkash.com/en/about" you CANNOT copy and paste content from their site, we have no interest in what their own website says in any case, we need independent sources.

Draft: Gary Hutton
Hi @Theroadislong,

Thank you for getting back.

The Interior Design industry regard is driven primarily by published interior design projects, ‘design’ focused features and thought leadership in interviews, dialogues, teaching, books and published articles.

An attempt has been made to establish Gary’s notability and cite reliable, in-depth sources.

Amongst all the cited sources, which ones can be retained to get the Wiki approved? SKCOTT (talk) 17:14, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The sources you have added are an improvement on what was there, do you have an undisclosed conflict of interest by any chance? the personal life section has zero sources where did the content come from? With regard to establishing notability Wikipedia ignores interviews and dialogues as they are not independent. Theroadislong (talk) 17:55, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Some questions
1.If we don't find any independent resources on the topic on which we want to make an article, will an article on that topic can enter wikipedia article space?

2.how you write an article on those topics which don't have any reliable or independent sources? Bhubaneswar2009 (talk) 08:20, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia articles are based on reliable independent sources, if they don't exist then we can't have an article on that topic. Theroadislong (talk) 08:25, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Theroadislong: Thank you for your continuing patient and kind support but I have to say that, at my advanced age, I do not believe I have the faculty to easily assimilate these tortuous instructions and the technical language required to meet the required standards for acceptance of my submission. This you have long mastered as evidenced by your great experience and contributions over such a long period. Would it be therefore impudent of me (in noting your positive remarks about my subject to DoubleGrazing) be prepared (if protocols allow) to complete my contribution to an acceptable standard under your name? It is, I firmly believe, of considerable theistic importance to the Protestant movement in France and to the history of Meaux in particular that the history of The Fourteen of Meaux should have its' place in Wikipedia. If this be impertinence I will not be offended to be told and I will persevere but question my ability, at 93, to complete before Azrael gathers me into his arms. Deo volente! Rowbarton.

Draft:Scottish Castles Restoration Projects
Dear Theroadislong

Hope it’s OK to consult you again about this Draft article.

But first, could I just say something? There was a very interesting article about Wikipedia in the UK ‘Daily Telegraph’ a week or so ago. I am hardly the biggest contributor to Wikipedia, https://en.wikiscan.org/user/ArchaicW, with three original articles and quite a few additions to existing articles, but apparently as a result I am in the top 5% of contributors!

As a measure of involvement, I’ve also spent quite a bit of my own money on buying books and quality illustrations to help with my contributions to Wikipedia (and also made an annual donation.) So this Draft article is not a paid for ‘one off’ trying to promote some unknown person or commercial company. I do feel that Wikipedia could do more to encourage people like me.

Anyway, at your suggestion, I put this article up for Review two months ago – and since then nobody has looked at it! I suspect this is because it has your name above it, so other reviewers are reluctant to comment.

To be honest I’m a bit puzzled. On the basis of you previously approving my three articles, after I had written the first draft, but specifically without adding any references or illustrations etc, I asked if you would look at it. You replied as follows:

“ With sufficient sources I see no reason why Wikipedia couldn't have such an article. Theroadislong (talk) ”

I must say I took that to mean that, subject to adding those sufficient sources, you would accept the article? I therefore added, as I had intended anyway, a series of good references, eg in books published by Historic Scotland staff etc, and illustrations.

I re-submitted this to you, at which point you said it read too much like an essay. Re-reading it with that comment in mind, I could see there were too many ‘seems’ and ‘maybe’ phrases, so I have removed those and worked to make the Draft much more factual.

You also suggested that I put the Draft up for Review, but, as above, nobody has looked at it. Could I ask you therefore now to have another look? I’m sure you are very busy, but if you still think the draft article is not balanced enough, could you please advise me on exactly what you think is still wrong? If you have no time to do that, could you perhaps recommend another reviewer who might be in tune with this draft article?

I do feel that this article is a useful contribution to the whole ‘Scottish Castles’ field and not covered elsewhere. If the article is published, I feel sure others will come along and add more detail.

Apologies for the length of this essay  Thank you. ArchaicW (talk) 13:47, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I will leave this for another reviewer, it stills feels like it's written in an essay style to me. Theroadislong (talk) 17:37, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Draft article
Hello there,

Since you are one of the most active users in AFC, would you mind reviewing Draft:Prakash Neupane? I have added reliable references to the article and it has been on the pending list for quite a while. Thank you for your consideration. DIVIN</b><b style="color:#FA0">E</b> 18:07, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I see it has been deleted 9 times, you need to ensure that the draft passes the criteria at WP:NSINGER and I'm not clear how it does so I'll leave it for another reviewer rather than disappoint you with a decline. Theroadislong (talk) 18:11, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * You’re absolutely correct here that it has been deleted multiple times which can be clearly seen from the deletion logs. As the Ratopati, Lokantaar, Nepallivetoday, republica (as their staffs are mentioned as a contributor) but not an actual contributor platform which we can see from depth-review, The Hindu are WP:RS and national medias where it has been covered that the singer has won awards and has toured internationally, ABC Nepal TV is national TV, Taha Khabar national media of Nepal, BBC : The Cultural Program is actually a radio show which can be seen so, believe it passes the above criteria of WP:NSINGER for me but I’m not sure about you as you know very well than me I believe. But again Thankyou for your response & happy editing ! <b style="color:#29F">DI</b><b style="color:red">V</b><b style="color:#080">I</b><b style="color:#808">N</b><b style="color:#FA0">E</b> 18:24, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Gray and Sons
Dear Theroadislong, thank you so much for reviewing my article in the draft space. However, the comments stayed the same from the last review, even though I added a few more sources. Personally, I do think that the stories in the books are giving an in-depth information about the company. Besides that, I added a couple of secondary sources, which might not be independent, but they are still considered secondary. I really wish to receive a proper feedback, which I am not getting already for a month, and it is really discouraging me from counting to edit in Wikipedia. Please, if you will have time, could you please go over the article one more time, and suggest what I can add and what to change? Thank you. I hope to get a proper feedback this time. Gevorg Ghazaryan (talk) 13:06, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * is just an advert not a reliable source is a press release so not independent and  is a blog so not reliable. Theroadislong (talk) 13:11, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Theroadislong, what about the two other ones? Because the sources you mentioned, I was considering them as secondary ones, which I think can be press releases and blog posts. The first one is an informative page on the town's government websites, can it be an advertisement? thank you. --Gevorg Ghazaryan (talk) 13:14, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * They may be secondary sources, but they are NOT reliable so cannot be used to establish any notability I'm afraid. Theroadislong (talk) 13:25, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * What about the books? And, isn't the government website considered reliable? Besides that, I can also provide some more sources from books, and also interviews with the owner that are published on Amazon Music, Apple Music, and so on.--Gevorg Ghazaryan (talk) 13:28, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * i can't comment on the books, but inerviews are also NOT independent or reliable so cannot be used. Theroadislong (talk) 13:32, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Then, what is the problem with the books? Because, as far as I know, this kind of books or publications are considered main sources in many cases. If the publications, press releases, interviews, blog posts, government websites, competition websites and so on are not reliable sources, then at least I should be able to use the books.--Gevorg Ghazaryan (talk) 13:38, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * there is no problem with the books except I have no idea what they say about the subject do they have in-depth significant coverage of the company? You need to be able to pass the criteria at WP:NCORP. Theroadislong (talk) 13:44, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I wish I was able to share the information in the books, but I cannot do so because of copyright restrictions. I would also love to cite the sentences and the paragraphs where it is mentioning about Gray and Sons. More than half of the books in the world are not available online, does that mean that they cannot be used as sources? --Gevorg Ghazaryan (talk) 13:52, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * You are perfectly free to share what the books say without copy and pasting any content. Theroadislong (talk) 13:58, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Sujit Tiwary (talk) 14:18, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sujit Tiwary: The most obvious thing is the use of external links in the body, which aren't done on Wikipedia articles. If they must exist, they have to go in their own section at the bottom of an article. The references you're using link to the site's home page instead of to whatever page is supposed to link to, and even then, they seem like primary sources, which do not establish the subject's notability as defined on Wikipedia.I find the use of promotional language to be the number 1 reason why your draft would not be accepted.

Why did you remove the submission template and add a comment as if it was pending review? I'm curious as I'm learning to become a reviewer -- Ap  m  h  15:29, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Looks like that was a glitch in the software, I have re-added the submit template. Thanks for noticing! Theroadislong (talk) 15:53, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

Telugu Talons
Hello, could you help me understand why the four references used do not satisfy the requirements? There are 3 from news agencies and 1 from the league itself. PixelStudiosSocial (talk) 09:01, 4 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I just saw your message concerning Paid editing. I am not being paid to create this article. Rather, I am a friend of a few players on the team. I noticed that the league page showed all the teams in red. So, I decided to create this page for them, so they can get more exposure. Handball is very small in India. This is a HUGE opportunities for all the players. Every single one of them has full time jobs, in addition to their sports endeavors. However, the league is not managing this well. If I were paid by the team, I would rather spend my time creating a website for them, which they also don't have; or at least manage their social media accounts. But since I am unrelated, the best I can do is to put something on Wikipedia. PixelStudiosSocial (talk) 09:08, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * That is absolutely NOT what Wikipedia is for, please use social media or create a website for them. Theroadislong (talk) 09:10, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Very odd, because this is exactly how most of the pages for sports team and leagues are for. You are reading into my intent rather than focusing on the information at hand. Regardless of my intent, the value of the information is neither that of self promotion nor worthless. Thank you for your time, but I believe you are way more emotional about this content than a qualified reviewer should have. Have a nice day. PixelStudiosSocial (talk) 09:19, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

198 (number)
I have declined the speedy deletion as the redirect there is from a merge and the history is required for attribution. I think a form of history merge is required but i am not familiar with how to do it. You might need to ask at WP:RM for somebody with more experience to look at it. - Whpq (talk) 13:45, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 14:10, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Hey I want to know the reason--
Hey,

I want to know why Bookchor company profile rejected. We are verified account - fb and Whatsapp, more than 2+ Million users. Can You help me listing company profile on wikipedia.

Thank You 103.61.197.51 (talk) 10:38, 7 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia does not have "company profiles", not a single one. Wikipedia has articles, typically written by independent editors wholly unconnected with the topic.  Wikipedia is not a mere database where existence permits inclusion.  This is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion, called notability. 331dot (talk) 10:39, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Your draft has been rejected it won't be considered again. You still haven't adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor either. Theroadislong (talk) 18:32, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Peter Roach (phonetician)
You seem to have added a COI tag to the article about me. I can't see any explanation of what it is that you object to, so I am at a loss to know what to do to improve it. Please could you advise? RoachPeter (talk) 19:03, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * As you are the subject of the article you should use the request edit template on the article's talk page and not edit the article directly. Theroadislong (talk) 19:06, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The recent edits that I made (in response to comments that the article lacked references) were four in number. I have made a start on requesting that someone else make the edit for me, and have removed the offending references. Are all four to be regarded as cases of COI? In the "Research" section, all I have done is add references to published sources that are related to articles that are already in Wikipedia. I really struggle to see how this creates a conflict of interest, but if my edit requests work I will continue with the others. RoachPeter (talk) 20:02, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Peter. I think you might be misunderstanding; it's not that the specific references you added had issues (and I've restored them to the article for now). I think Theroadislong just happened to notice that the article has been contributed to in large part by you, which can be a sign of a poor article. You should make edit requests in the future as mentioned rather than edit the article directly, but that doesn't mean every contribution you have made has to be removed. At some point in the future, another editor will assess the article to see if it's particularly biased due to your contributions (at a glance, it doesn't seem so to me), make any necessary changes to adhere to Wikipedia policies on neutral point of view, notability, reliable sources and due weight, and remove the COI notice.  WP scatter  t/c 20:14, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for explaining. I had not understood the COI rules. I'm happy to wait for further advice. RoachPeter (talk) 06:27, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Contradiction
In the Evolution page, one sentence claims the following: "Despite the estimated extinction of more than 99% of all species that ever lived on Earth, about 1 trillion species are estimated to be on Earth currently with only one-thousandth of 1% described.", while the next section claims something different: "Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million". This is why I removed the first section, it's bad to have contradictory statements like this. TheVictoryOfTheProletariat (talk) 16:15, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

National Hispanic Medical Association
Hi Theroadislong,

I hope you are doing well. I replied to your message earlier, however, I'll also drop my response here. Regarding this wikipedia topic, I am not a paid editor; I am just a college student building this website for an academic credit. To clarify, the topic for this assignment is "impacts in your community". Since I am latino, and lowkey heading down the pre med track, I kinda figured this local org would be a cool topic to tackle.

If there is anything else I should attempt in order to successfully finish this topic, pls let me know.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best,

 * It's not at all clear how they pass WP:NORG? Theroadislong (talk) 16:02, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Overall, just by making a small Wikipedia post. It's supposed to be a quick and easy A, really. So here are the main parts of the assignment:
 * 1. Why did you select this article to create or improve? What is the larger historical significance of this entry, and how does your work make it better?
 * 2. How did you improve/create this entry and bring it to “good” status? Why did you choose to intervene in these ways?
 * 3. How does your work show your skills completing historical research? In highlighting Latin American Joy or Impacts To Your Community?
 * 4. How did you shape your edits to meet the Wikipedia community guidelines (5 Pillars)
 * 5. What, if any, interactions did you have with other Wikipedia editors?
 * You are required to meet all of the "regular" specifications, but the total length and number of sources is higher:
 * compose at least five new paragraphs with at least three internal wikilinks each (around 5000-6000 characters or 750 to 1000 words total)
 * incorporate at least four reference sources that meet Wikipedia's standards for evidence (footnoted in the “Sources” section)
 * include an image from Wikicommons (where appropriate - if not, make sure to explain this in your project memo)
 * So, this really is mostly what the assignment revolves on and how I'm getting graded.
 * Best,
 * -MMM MedicalMrMoose (talk) 16:17, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * This is an encyclopaedia which has guidelines for inclusion of topics, your topic needs to pass the criteria at WP:NORG and it's not clear how it does yet. Has your tutor read Student assignments? "Student assignments can help improve Wikipedia, but they can also cause the encyclopedia more harm than good when not directed properly." Theroadislong (talk) 16:48, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Removal of google references
I have removed the google references Nanyutterman (talk) 10:31, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Removal of Name in Article
You removed the name of the college. Government First Grade College, Carstreet this college was renamed as Dr.P.Dayananda Pai - P.Sathisha Pai Government First Grade College, Carstreet this name officially ordered by Government of Karnataka. if the college was not named then the college generally called as Government First Grade College. Sir can you explain why did you removed? Ardo27 (talk) 14:38, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The lede usually uses the name of the article as titled ie. Government First Grade College, Carstreet not Dr.P.Dayananda Pai - P.Sathisha Pai Government First Grade College if you want it to change then you will need to move the article to the new title. Theroadislong (talk) 14:42, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Apologies.
I understand, I chose to do this because the case had such a drastic impact on our culture, given how it made domestic violence and the use of social media nuanced topics and drew such massive attention. It also popularized social media as a form of news consumption. However, I feel that if I had focused a bit more on that and less on the substantive case itself, I may have had something. You're free to edit the page or delete it, however you feel is appropriate, and I apologize for any misunderstanding. If you choose to delete it, I understand and I urge you to do so if you feel it necessary, but if you think that there is room for fixing it to differentiate the page from the current article on the case so that it only focuses on the impact of the case, I ask that you take that into consideration because it is still a case that is being talked about to this day, as Biden's youngest delegate Victor Shi referenced the trial when presenting his case for the criminal trial of Donald Trump to be televised to the nation. 47.40.238.193 (talk) 00:02, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * As I said before it is pointless to continue editing this draft, you can edit the article we already have here Depp v. Heard, you can't create a new version of it via the WP:AFC process. Theroadislong (talk) 07:27, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Nate Wilbourne
Hi @Theroadislong, thanks for the comment on the page I am making. Are you able to elaborate why it is not at all clear what makes Nate notable? Maxclayman (talk) 09:00, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

FeGiS
Dear Theroadislong, you have added an "undisclosed payment" banner above our article about the research project "FeGiS" for road safety. No one has payed for it. For the neutral point of view, we have a lot of scientific references and papers in our reference list. Isn't this enough? Can we ask someone for help to make the article more than it should be? Thanks in advance for an answer. Sichere.Straßen (talk) 09:26, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * You clearly have a conflict of interest though and please not you call it "our article' it is NOT your article it is Wikipedia's article about your organisation. Theroadislong (talk) 09:32, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Help Needed - Could interviewing a person be legible part of the research?
Dear @Theroadislong, thanks for the review!

I am trying to write a biography article on the movie producer, but I have problems with resources. Basically, iMDB is the industry standard for researching what these people have done in the past. Moreover, it is pretty tough creating a page for just one member of the crew on the movies - as most journals usually publish articles highlighting cast members, although sometimes there are more than 300 people working together on just one film. That's one of the reasons, actually the most important motivation for me to start creating articles for other members as well.

I deleted one of the resources, as I agree it's not that reliable, but not sure what can I do in order to make the article stronger as I spent a lot of time interviewing the person. Could that be somehow part of the reference?

Apologies for the longer question and thank you so much for your patience on this matter.

Here is the link towards the draft:

Many thanks! Mili Radumilo (talk) 17:47, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * See WP:IMDB and more generally reliable sources, interviews are NOT considered reliable and if you are interviewing them, then you have a conflict of interest which you will need to declare. Wikipedia summarises what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a topic, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable topic if those sources don't exist then we can't have an article.

Regarding my sandbox article: Urban Photography
I'm interested in your suggestion and have reviewed the article "street Photography"

But research shows me that urban photography is not the same as street photography

so it can be posted as a separate article

hope there's no problem with that

Good day Fahim Mostafa324 (talk) 11:59, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The problem with your draft is the lack of sources and the tone eg."an enthralling genre that seizes the liveliness and dynamism of city life" it will need a complete re-write referencing ONLY what reliable sources have reported. Theroadislong (talk) 12:55, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * i'll try my best to make an acceptable rewrite Fahim Mostafa324 (talk) 13:50, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
