Dear Timtrent, I have troubles with the user: Anthony Bradbury. I don't think that this user is able to follow the problem. The LCOE definition presented by Wikipedia is mistaken. Would you be so kind to tell me a name of Wikipedia user, who is able to follow mathematics problems. Unfortunately, from my point of view ( I'm sorry) the discussion with Anthony has no point. He does not understand the importance of the problem. regards Adiepp — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adiepp (talk • contribs) 10:17, 26 March 2021 (UTC)


 * @Adiepp please raise whatever the issue under discussion is at Talk:Levelized cost of energy I have seen no evidence of a conversation with @Anthony Bradbury whom I have pinged as a courtesy. Please do not impugn the character of other editors nor make assumptions about their level of understanding. If you have had such a conversation then you must have failed to explain your issues well enough.

Dear Tim, I didn't have a conversation with Anthony because he referred to U5 and he fired my work without any discussion. He didn't give me the slightest chance. I understand that many people who do not have a mathematical background would send me to the Holy Inquisition's stake. Giordano Bruno also wanted to explain, but was not allowed. The same is the situation now. What is this Wikipedia institution that works like Anthony? I understand that publishing nonsense is allowed and accepted there. I gave a trivial example in my edition, but nobody is interested in that. regards adiepp — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.173.132.78 (talk) 11:29, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Message from User:Devprogrammer789
Hi Trent,

Thanks for the notes. As a Wikipedia newbie I missed a lot of the original ones and I am still trying to work through Wikimedia to get a cover page back up on the Electronic Design (ED) page. Now that I know a bit more I will make sure that new pages start out in my sandbox and let you take a look at them. I'll keep an eye out for any comments you have on the current page. I was not sure about the links I did have to articles on ED but they seem to be as valid as articles that would be found on other sites. I also included a significant number of new citations and cut out the rest of the details from the prior version.

I did change my user page to reflect that I work for Endeavor but I have a question about making changes to other pages related to companies I may have worked for/with. In particular I was going to add some details to the PCMag page about PC Labs which I thought was a significant effort as it drove the editorial and was one of the first sources of benchmarks for PCs. I was the first lab director and worked the Bill Machrone. So, do I need to make any annotations to my user page?

Again, thanks for the notes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Devprogrammer789 (talk • contribs) 19:02, 26 March 2021 (UTC)


 * @Devprogrammer789 I won't be the one to look at them, necessarily. There is a pool of submissions and a pool of reviewers. I try to steer clear of things I have reviewed once already or been near the periphery of. Other sets of eyes are far better than those who have seen material before
 * We trust you to judge whether you have a COI with places. However if you are in doubt, Conflict of interest/Noticeboard will give you a direct answer to a direct question. Transparency is very much appreciated. My view is "If in doubt, declare it". Where Paid-contribution disclosure is required is tighter. If you are at a distance from a prior occupation I view it as unlikely that you need to declare paid status, just COI status. You can make this distinction on your user page. As a mag editor you are probably way ahead of me here in terms of wording.  Fiddle   Faddle  19:52, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you very much indeed for your comments on this article in the draft. I tried to follow your advices. Now, the article is much shorter but I cleaned it from interviews etc. Do you think the article is good now? Regards--Citrustree (talk) 08:28, 26 March 2021 (UTC)


 * @Citrustree The referenicng has to get better. Cutting down was an excellent idea, but we need to find WP:THREE - three good references which pass WP:42. The book: Itcannto be a reference, but it CAN be an external link. Use the ISBN in the form ISBN 9780300233223 and add the book's name. The Google Author page cannot be a reference either.

But in my opinion sex worker are outside of society. About Roux it is interesting that she has much publicity not because of her work as an escort but as an activist. There are so many articles and interviews with her. But I know that interviews are not sufficent. What do you think about the wikipedia article now? Regards!--Citrustree (talk) 14:00, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * @Citrustree I think you have your answer. Now acceptance is just that, acceptance. If it gets nominated for any deletion process I almost never comment on the discussion and always remain neutral. The discussion is as much about my acceptance as the notability of the article itself. In the event it is proposed for deletion argue once, well, and with precision, and then hope that the community has the innate desire to keep the article.
 * I accepted because I believe it has, after your hard work, a better than 60% chance of surviving deletion process.

Notability of amateur porn tuber: How?
Hello, may I have a question again: Beside youtube there excists several big players like xtube, xhamster, xvideos which are very large and which host amateur porn producer in their own right. Is it possible to see them somehow like youtubers or perhaps artists in the porn niche? How could they claim relevance on wikipedia. Perhaps if someone has more than 1.000.000 clicks? They work in their very own space and they are very different from industrial porn companies because they are independent. I believe in the 21st century it would be relevant to see them as well on wikipedia. They do not gain any prices and they are not listed on porn actor directories because the porn industry is fighting against them for the market. Until today the big industrial adult companies gain more attention on wikipedia than the independents which are the porn youtubers of today. And where is the right place to discuss this topic. Or is there a answer to it perhaps already? Thank you!--Citrustree (talk) 17:56, 27 March 2021 (UTC)


 * @Citrustree I'm honestly not sure how to measure true notability. The media outlets you mention seem to be user generated content, so getting a reading of true notability is hard. Equally, a minority fetish performer may get fewer hits than a chap with an enormous gentleman's area, yet still feel notable. It's a legitimate way of making a living, but one not talked about a great deal, especially in mainstream media. And when it is, it's generic, not worker based.
 * I'm thinking aloud, really. I know a number of young folk are paying college fees with Onlyfans. If I were their age, thinking back to n the days when I was sleek and svelte, I think I might have given it a go, too.
 * Notability for Youtubers is really hard. Followers rather than clicks, I think. How about asking at the teahouse? Fiddle   Faddle  18:57, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

My dreft article on Uday Phadke
I forgot to say that in response to your comments, this is not an autobiography. I am a business academic, and set up a lot of the entrepreneurship courses at the Said School in Oxford. I think the triple chasm approach has merit and deserves greater attention. In attempting to draft a page I have closely followed that of Sir Ronald Cohen whom I know and respect.Jeter1956 (talk) 10:30, 2 April 2021 (UTC)


 * @Jeter1956 I'm glad it's not an autobiography. There is work to do finding references. For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle   Faddle  14:14, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Timtrent. Sorry my original article on author Randall Lee Goodden was so lacking, but I've redrafted it. Part of the problem was that I could see no "save" button on the sandbox page so it apparently went out in very rough draft form.

 * @A Flaneur We will set the other draft to one side. I will not review the new version. I view myself as being now involved, thus recuse myself from making a review.

Sorry my article on author Randall Lee Goodden was so wanting, and I hope this revised one is more to the mark. Part of the problem was my mistaking the 'publish' button for a 'save' button. A Flaneur (talk) 14:42, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

A Flaneur (talk) 14:42, 2 April 2021 (UTC)


 * @A Flaneur The issue is a technical one with licencing. There is no concept of private workspace on Wikipedia, including one's sandbox or any sub pages in one's user space one may create. This means that every single thing we 'save' is irrevocably released under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and GFDL. This message I am typing to you is, as was your message to me.
 * We are granted a courtesy on user sub pages. That courtesy is that they are generally considered pages we can play in untrammelled by interruption. There are exceptions, mostly where laws are 'bypassed'.
 * Now, there is a difference between "Publish Changes" and "Submit" or "Resubmit" for review. The latter pair of actions create a marker in the pool of submissions that a review is requested. I see that Draft:Randall Lee Goodden has not yet been submitted for review. To perform this when you are ready use the normal editor and type  . Publishing changes creates the submission.
 * Having an article about yourself is not necessarily a great idea. You have no control over it, no ownership of it, and it may be edited to contain any indiscretions reported on in the media. None of us has led a blameless life, so the sword is a true double edged one. Fiddle   Faddle  17:08, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Mudiwa Hood Draft
Good day, i hope you are well, i noticed you declined Draft:Mudiwa Hood without going further, i understand your pointers but i also wish you could help making the draft better than just declining before you went further, if there are references that should be removed then we remove because if its about Mudiwa Hood being notable, he is indeed notable if you go on to research. Also note that i would like contributors to observe Zimbabwe media how it usually publishes and that most of our media are blogs that write about musical artists. Him being an actor it is a mention yes on Mirazvo Productions article because he was part of the cast for 3 seasons.

My wish is that you look more and research to see that Mudiwa Hood is a notable person and the most popular and awarded hip hop artist in the history of Zimbabwean hip hop with over 40 awards and several nominations, so i think lets improve the article than to decline it or put it aside.

Hi, Tim! Thanks for reviewing the draft! I'd like to note that in comparison with the first version of the draft, when I picked it to improve, my version looks much better. Actually, I removed "Awards" and "Products" sections from the previous version as it look like a blatant advertisement. Yet, I agree with you that this draft still requires some work and I accept that it has issues with the sources but I'm not that experienced with that part yet.

your comments re deletion Betsy Z. Cohen page
Dear Timtrent, I could not figure out how to reply to the discussion you started about deleting the page for Betsy Z. Cohen. Regarding the references: they are archived only because after spending a full day reviewing Wikipedia guidelines, it seemed like that was the proper procedure - to archive them first and then link to them. Regarding the second comment about whether this individual is worthy of a Wikipedia listing, all text that might have spoken to that were removed based on previous feedback by other editors. The content of the many media references (and board positions) support the fact that this is a woman who broke many glass ceilings and has been inspirational to five decades of business women, and who continues to innovate in the financial sector. Public comments (on online platforms) following many of her presentations for various organizations and institutions have cited her pioneering in finance, business acumen and inspiration, and equally inspired this page because people were seeking information about her. This is now a summary representing very sincere best efforts to work within Wikipedia's parameters. What started as a more robust page (more comparable to the Warren Buffet page) became more akin to the Sallie Krawcheck page to eliminate anything that might be construed as "peacocking." I hope this answers your questions and will resolve the discussion about potential deletion of the page. Thank you for your considerationPaula F Warren (talk) 20:13, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Timtrent, Yes, you have my permission to make any necessary changes to the disclosure item that will make this correct, thank you! Regarding the archiving references, I swear to you that I spent a whole day trying to learn the correct way to do this. I've been trying to find the Wiki article I read that said it was important to archive the referenced articles first to avoid having dead links. but I can't seem to locate it. But it was a Wiki article and had explicit instructions. So that's what I did, for 31 references. And then I used the drop down menu that was presented for each to create the citation. I followed the instructions exactly and it seemed to work beautifully, so I was not aware that there would be any later problem in viewing the references - they seemed to show up fine when I checked them. Very sorry to learn that this is not correct. Is there an easy way to make them visible without having to undo and rebuild the whole reference section? Thanks again for your guidance.Paula F Warren (talk) 22:35, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Let's look at first.

That fails. So I clicked the link and got to: http://archive.ph/8zhEI whcih is about is much use and a useless thing. WHat we need is https://libdigital.temple.edu/pdfa1/Oral%20Histories/TOHFCJZ2016020012Q01.pdf which is the link you archived.

To create a correct citation for it (Let's assume itls a valud reference for now) we wil create this:

That produces

With me so far? It was a very much manual process. It was time consuming. But now I can save you a lot of time.

How?

Well, as a reference it is useless. We need this:

For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make any draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.

As you can see, this is not about Cohen, it is her words, so is by Cohen. It's a Primary Source. We can use it to verify simple facts, but it cannot verify notability. It also lacks a date, a minor issue.

Your rather horrible job now is to run all your references against the tough criteria. Those that fail? Drop them like a hot brick, and consoder whether the fact they support adds value to the aticle.

The true proicess for article building is as follows:


 * 1) Research referencing that meets (for shorthand we'll use WP:42) WI=ikipedia's needs
 * 2) Choose the facts from the references tha you wish to assert and verify
 * 3) Sort those facts into a storyboard (don't try to retrofit references to an existing narratve, its hard, hard, hard!)
 * 4) Write the prose, incorporating citations
 * 5) Note that a fact, once cited in a proper reference is cited. Two or three or more citations just gild the lily. Use the xtras for other facts

The key to success is reference quality, not quantity.

Completely at random I'm going to grab a reference I've not checked yet:

Let;s look at or, in clear:

Where we end up is https://www.yahoo.com/now/ftac-parnassus-acquisition-corp-announces-203000120.html?guccounter=1 and this one is problematic. It's a Press Release, Apart for, being able to recognise them at 1,000 paces because I used to write them for a living it says so near the foot.

Your user page statement on WP:COI‬".
Hi Timtrent, I know it's past midnight where you are so I won't be looking for your immediate reply (thanks for your speed, btw). And sorry for the "new section" - I am completely stumped by how to reply to comments on talk pages (and in the discussion about possible deletion, which I hope we've resolved), but if you can tell me how to reply I promise to use it going forward. As for the Betsy Z. Cohen references, the far majority of them are major media such as Wall St Journal, Barron's, Bloomberg, etc., so deleting the ones that don't qualify will not be hard - you happened to pick the one primary source (which I now understand is taboo) and a press release (which I only used because I saw other Wikipedia sites with references that started with "Press Release" so it seemed OK). I'll work on rebuilding the References section over the weekend. I am not a coder, but hopefully I can follow your code template to make it right. Good night,Paula F Warren (talk) 23:58, 6 April 2021 (UTC)


 * @Paula F Warren Replying is easier than you think. Edit the segment, and place your reply beneath. The ":" character idents things one tab stop. IT is the same at a deletion discussion, but the opinions are left in a more stylised manner.
 * Even major media carries press releases. Bloomberg does. Let me pick another, again at random: http://archive.ph/QDGbf, which resolves to https://www.forbes.com/sites/danielwebber/2021/02/17/payoneer-and-the-spac-betsy-cohen-and-scott-galit-on-going-public-payments-and-the-future/?sh=17fc80ac7c20 which I have not even looked at yet.
 * This has a byline, often an indication that a real journalist has given it some attention, but finding "  announced  " in the first sentence shows me that this has been fed to the journalist. This is normal. I used to target releases to the right medium and in the right style for a journalist. Now the piece starts to quote Cohen's words. It isn;t a real interview, but it is still words she "speaks", thus is probably primary. Digging deeper, ignoring the pretty graphs, there are also words "by" Galit. So the release has been created jointly on Cohen and Galit's behalf by a good PR team. Then there is faux "conversation" swinging between Galit and Cohen. This confirms to me that this is a regurgitated, targeted PR piece. It was designed to fool the readers, but it's really a journalist saving time by regurgitating PR department material and hitting a deadline with ease.
 * Again it is not about Cohen. It isn't even really about Cohen' s business. Fiddle   Faddle  05:47, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * @Paula F Warren But there is another problem. The draft was accepted (not final), you have a COI (unavoidable, because it is broadly construed) and cannot do more than request an edit in the published article, and it has been nominated for a deletion process. That process, once started, is out of the nominator's hands, iyt has a time limited course to run. So we need a solution.
 * I am going to withdraw my nomination summarising the conversation that you require time to edit and request that it be closed (It has to be closed by someone else) to return the article to Draft, where you can work on it at will
 * Reply to the discussion if it has not been closed. Use words similar to these:
 * Draftify in order that I may correct the issues that this discussion has brought to my attention. I cannto do those in the article except b requesting edits, but am allowed to in the Draft namespace. I believe this was accepted too soon.

Samuray Kuba page translation
Hello there Tim, regarding: Samuray Kuba I'm just trying to translate the already present and live page on Wikipedia DE, into English. I've been asked previously to cite every song he made, and unfortunately when you mention "PR puffery", it wasn't my intention some websites are just music streaming provider where I can find a citation of a certain song published. Instead, when you mention: " self published sources " can't really see which.

If I input the same amount of references and citations as in the German version, will it be accepted or not, as I'm just trying to translate the current existing page? here as follows you can find the German page: Samuray Kuba DE

At last, please I'd like to double check with you whether I have to find a reference for every song and every album as well, or those don't need to be added, as in the German version?

 * What is required is quality of referencing, not quantity. The German Language Wikipedia has different criteria forth English Language one. You need to show that the artist passes Notability (music). My message was generic, and relies on your skill to see what is what.

Latest Edits to Randall Lee Goodden
Hello Tim Trent, Related to the question of whether I am "Goodden" or not, my brother has also been helping me with the article, so I speculate he said "I am not Goodden", whereas I said "I am Goodden". That is why we selected going under an anonymous name.

Secondly, when we did submit a revised version to be looked at, Wikipedia sent it to 2 Editors at the exact same time, which they messaged us and told us was an accident that sometimes happens, and the other Editor was CommanderWaterford, who then began a dialog with us.

Third, I either took the pictures, or had someone use my camera to take them, which means I own the rights to the pictures.

As for the Oxford brochure, here is an email from them verifying it's authenticity - --- On Thursday, April 8, 2021, 04:58:22 AM CDT, Technology  wrote: Dear Randall, Thank you for your email.

Kind regards, Jack ---

The current displayed revised rough draft article is the latest. You had seen the very short version which CommanderWaterford had criticized for being too short and not having larger explanations and more material, so everything was added.

Now we apparently have a problem as we're now dealing with you and him on the content, so I'm not sure what to do.

I should also mention that the current version is a Sandbox draft, and wasn't being submitted for Editor review yet as we're not done with it. But I hit "Publish" because the system says that is the only way of saving the newly edited material, as I lost the new material numerous times and had to re-add it.

Randall Goodden A Flaneur (talk) 15:20, 12 April 2021 (UTC)


 * @A Flaneur you may not share an account between you and your brother. One of you must stop immediately, which should come as no surprise to you you accepted the terms and conditions when you joined. Continuing to share an account will result in the account being blocked. See SHAREDACCOUNT. It is a form of sock puppetry and is a blocking offence.
 * You are not dealing with me, nor with @CommanderWaterford except insofar as I am considering your edits very carefully and have come to the conclusion that you have been economical with the truth over who "you" are. You are dealing with Wikipedia, a community of volunteers. Any time you publish text, including when you published this message to me, that text becomes Wiipedia's, and you agree to irrevocably release your text under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and GFDL.
 * Any proof of licencing and/or authority to post the material must be sent to whichever is relevant of COM:OTRS or WP:OTRS. This depends on where you have posted these pieces of self aggrandisement. I have neither the interest in it nor the ability to deal with it, but I will always chase down improperly licenced material.
 * You obviously hit Review at some point, which is why it was reviewed. Creating a further sandbox version tends to be seen as attempting to game the system. Edit the existing draft that has been reviewed, please.
 * In general messages such as my formal enquiry about your rather bifurcated identity shoudl be answered there. Since oyu have replied here I will put a link beneath it. Please note that Wikipedians are used to hearing a variety of "My brother did it" excuses. They do not wash with us.

Tim In answer to your last question my brother was only trying to help edit certain paragraphs in the article while it is in the Sandbox, and then he would ask me if I wanted to go with his edit. I didn't think this would be a problem especially being that I was the only one pushing "Publish" in order to save what we did, but I can handle it myself from this point on if it's a problem.

Randall Goodden A Flaneur (talk) 18:18, 12 April 2021 (UTC)


 * @A Flaneur We wil take @Oshwah's opinion since it was their question, not mine, on whether it matters. However, I would make the very strong point that your statement I was the only one pushing "Publish" in order to save what we did is at variance with the statement made by your account that you are not Goodden. Indeed it is evidence that this cannot have been so. That leads me to consider that not only does it matter, it matters a very great deal. But I am not an administrator of this project.  Fiddle   Faddle  18:23, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * A Flaneur - The important question is: Does your brother have access to your account? Does he have the password to it? You admitted to letting him use your account to enter content into pages (albeit the sandbox) before you publish them; you're wholly responsible for all actions pertaining to your account. If your brother wants to help with editing content, he needs to create his own account and declare that you two share the same IP. Then, you two can work together on separate accounts by working in one of your account's sandboxes. Your brother, in no circumstances, should be using your account to do things or have access to your account in any way. This is prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on user accounts. Please have him create a new account for himself so that you two are in compliance with Wikipedia's policies and Terms of Use.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   18:52, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Tim I should clarify that when I said he was editing my Sandbox version and offering me recommendations, it meant that when I had made changes to my rough draft in Sandbox, I then hit "Preview" copied the content and emailed it to him in a Word.doc and he would tell me what he thinks. Sometimes, for the sake of discussing the html, I would send him the "Edit" version pasted on a Word.doc. So he wasn't in the site itself as he was working with me.

He's a retired English teacher, in his 70s, and was a professional writer after he taught. And he was a Wikipedia member in 2010 which is why I was asking him for some help, but doesn't know if his membership is still valid.

And to add to that, as it refers to your comments, I am 69 and retired as well, and am no longer involved in anything mentioned in the article, so this article ISN'T promotional or an advertisement for business, because I retired from the business, or any business. It is just a FACTUAL 3rd party review of what I did.

So I would like to get back on track and find out what needs to be changed. A Flaneur (talk) 00:19, 13 April 2021 (UTC) A Flaneur (talk) 00:17, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


 * So, to paraphrase your answer to 's question with precision, you say that your brother has not had physical access to your account, not been logged in as you.
 * That does not explain your statement here For the record I am not the above person. This is a firm, assertive, definite statement, one that elicited an aoplogy from me for considering that you were Goodden until I checked historical conversations, wholly suggestive of one of two options:
 * That the person making that statement had control of your account, and was you, the real Randall Lee Goodden
 * That the person making that statement had control of your account and was not the real Randall Lee Goodden
 * Neither of those two options is particuarly appetising.
 * I wonder if you would care to offer commentray upon that?  Fiddle   Faddle  07:19, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

When I opened the account I wanted to remain anonymous and submit everything from a 3rd person perspective, as required, and just as I did. When certain Editors see you wrote about yourself, they tend to instantly say "it's all promotional and a big advertisement for you" and don't accept it. Then when you submit it under a different name, they think you're paying someone to write it for you, and take off from another perspective because they're against that too. It appears to be a no-win situation either way. Yet Wikipedia encourages authors to write the articles themselves.

So I did not expect an Editor to ask me if it was really me. Why did that even need to be known? Discussion should just be about content regardless of who the author is. So I said it wasn't me in order to maintain my anonymity, as I felt it really didn't matter and the fact there was even a question being asked was for negative reasons. And then I gave in and said it is me, because we were beating it to death.

There's no reason for my brother to have to log-in to the account, because I email him drafts of what I wrote when I want his opinion. And he does not have my log-in information anyway and he's not even interested in Wikipedia and tried to discourage me from even pursuing this.

So can we move on now and continue to review what was submitted, from a non-bias 3rd person perspective? Or would you recommend that I ask Wikipedia to assign me a different Editor because it is becoming apparent you don't want to work with me?

 * Wikipedia has assigned no-one to you. You requested a review. Two of us reviewed the original draft at once and viewed it as not suitable. We are each independent of each other and of WIkipedia. We are not directed in any manner by anyone at all. To be fair, no-one will miss me or them if we go away for a few years.
 * An experienced reviewer can spot unusual circumstances a long way off.
 * One thing that you seem not to have understood is that Wikipedia is a volunteer project, a hobby. Those of us who love it protect it from WP:COI. It was immediately obvious that you had one. The thing was to determne what that was. It is apparent that you are not a paid editor and are simply choosing the rather difficult thing of writing about yourself, albeit with some inconsistent statements allmg the way. ALmost all autobiographers learn very quickly that they are notable to those who love them, respect them for their many attributes, but not necessarily to Wikipedia's standards for inclusion
 * I will let determine whether you are editing within the rules. They have a wide experience here, and have chosen the difficult route of selection by the community to become a project administrator. The only privilege that confers on them is to be a janitor here.
 * Now, with regard to the draft, when you submit it a reviewer will review it, wholly on its merits. I almost never review drafts a second time, that will not be me. Indeed, I recuse myself formally from reviewing it, though I have no need to do so.
 * My objective is to keep Wikipedia's standards high. That ranges from reviewing drafts, to editing poor articles, to proposing items for deletion, to reviewing uploads for licencing compliance and more. I also write new articles from time to time. I am sure, if I can show myself that you pass WP:GNG I could, should I choose, write an article about you includkng relevant segments of your professional life. It's pretty easy to do if someone passes. Some time ago I wrote One of many essays about article creation. That is my method.
 * Please do not keep starting new sections here. Please reply in the same thread. This keeps conversations together Fiddle   Faddle  15:44, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

 * @Dangelvoice I am afraid I never feel competent to review drafts on music and musicians. What I can say os that the early life section is missing citations. May I suggest you wait until the copyvio issue is cleared completely rom the original draft and then submit for review in the normal manner?

Draft: Anushka Sen Review
I know you have been watching this draft. Now I feel I have added enough information, so you may like to review and accept it. Also please tag relevant wikiprojects to the draft as I don't know how to do it. -- Parnaval (talk) 13:15, 20 April 2021 (UTC)


 * @Parnaval I am sticking to what I said on the draft Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 14:39, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey, I thought, as you are watching the page, you will be interested in reviewing. But as you don't want to, Please tell whom should I request. Also, I have an idea. Can I just move it myself to Article space as I am autoconfirmed ? One more thing, How to add wikiprojects in that draft ?? -- Parnaval (talk) 16:45, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * @Parnaval There is no need to ask anyone. It is in the  review  pool. A reviewer will  add relevant  Wikiprojects it if they  accept it. Any auto confirmed editor may move a draft to main space if they believe it is right do so. If you choose to make that move you should look at similar articles and copy what is on their talk pages.

Draft:Gilbert Academy 2
Thank you for your note on my new draft article Draft:Gilbert Academy 2. I can't figure out how to get in touch with the author of Draft:Gilbert Academy so we can combine our articles. When I click on Talk all I get is my own Queen Kitty Cat name even if I am in Draft:Gilbert Academy (the article that isn't mine). Please, how do I Talk with the author of Draft:Gilbert Academy. Thank you very much. --Queen Kitty Cat (talk) 01:01, 27 April 2021 (UTC) Queen Kitty Cat


 * @Queen Kitty Cat I went to the other draft, looked at its hostory tabe and found it was created by who is a prolific creator or new drafts, most of which are accepted. If you feel the need to talk to them you may reach them at User talk:FloridaArmy. Generally any draft or article is better for more than one person's input, and conversations are useful. I forget which draft is the longer, but t appears to me that the longer and better referenced one is the one that ought to move towards acceptance.

Your draft article, Draft:Veerapandi, Tiruppur


Hello, Timtrent. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Veerapandi".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 03:17, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

 * @Wikiinfobuddy Partly. Times of India references all fail. I will not review a second time Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 10:57, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

What will need to be done ? Wikiinfobuddy (talk) 11:05, 29 April 2021 (UTC)


 * @Wikiinfobuddy For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 11:12, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

 * @Wikiinfobuddy as the editor who wants the draft to be accepted it is entirely up to you. We teach you to fish, we do not give you a fish.

Note regarding AIV
Hi Timtrent, thanks for reporting the user to WP:AIV. I noticed that on User talk:Abdul.hoddle you gave that user all four warning levels in quick succession, then reported to AIV. (You can see that their last edit was at 17:46, 3 May 2021 (UTC), but all of your warnings were after this time.) Just as tip for the future, I recommend either reporting to AIV or simply leaving the user one warning. There's no need to go through all four warning levels before reporting to AIV; if you think the user should be blocked, you can simply report them to AIV immediately.

Thank you for taking a look at my article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Evalueserve)

2021 Nepali K2 Winter Summit
Hello,

Please can you kindly consider approving : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:2021_Nepali_K2_winter_summit

There is not currently an article dedicated exclusively to the 2021 K2 Winter summit, this was the first time in human history that K2 was summitted in winter.

There is already an article about the first ascent in 1954 by the Italian expedition.

Perhaps it is possible for clear cut articles or those of importance to be approved quicker, the article is still a work in progress but I am happy to do the extra work to help get it live on mainspace.
