On One Hundred Years of Solitude
Hi, how are you doing? I recently submitted a revision of a draft of a show based on One Hundred Years of Solitude, but it was denied because the lack of independent sources. I politely disagree with this, only 2 of the sources of the article are official sources, the rest being independent trades. It should also be noted that, compared with American TV series, there aren't many news trades in the region. With this I hope you reconsider this, as the draft provides most of the available information of the series. That said have a nice day Nils2088 (talk) 18:59, 29 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @Nils2088 Hi there. It’s an upcoming show right? You might want to see WP:NFF as you didn’t state whether principal photography started or not and I am not sure of that either. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:06, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, sorry for answering late. It did begun filming in March 2023 and there's even a trailer for it. Anyway I added other secondary sources and other info, besides removing a mild copyright violation. If you can please check it out Nils2088 (talk) 23:46, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Requesting a userspace copy or email copy of the sandbox you deleted
Good Afternoon Vander,

I noticed that the sandbox I was working on was deleted a couple of hours ago. Could you please provide me with a copy? I had invested a considerable amount of time into it, and I am concerned about losing that work.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Monserrat Enriquez Monserrat Enriquez (talk) 21:39, 2 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Monserrat Enriquez Hi there, the deleting administrator is Fastily but I don’t think a copy should be provided because you do not appear to understand what Wikipedia is about and the page was a highly promotional and spammy page which you had a COI on. I’d also ping Drm310. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 01:35, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

I’ve address your concern
Hello Greetings @Vanderwaalforces, I Think I’ve addressed your concern for the PROD, and I’ve done a Copyedit, but I suggest that in this, you try to contribute to article instead of just making decisions, I feel really bad how to treat my contributions, like what Safari Scribe did, he tried to improve it in his own way and it was much appreciated, I contribute for my love for Wikipedia and it feels bad which each time you make contributions, it’s not appreciated. Madeforall1 (talk) 16:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Madeforall1 Hi there. I must tell you that I am a big fan of anyone that tries to create an article from scratch, it is as a matter of fact not an easy thing to do. But sometimes we should be more careful when trying to write articles on subjects, we should make sure that subjects we’re writing about meets any of Wikipedia’s notability guidelines as that is the bedrock of inclusion on the encyclopedia. This is not a matter of copyedit or reworking, this is a matter of notability, that is my concern. KAA is not notable yet, it probably will in the future. Do not feel bad or down, I’m a big fan of you and sincerely want your advancements. I also very much appreciate your love for the project as it’s a good thing. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:20, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You are a big fan of nominating all my articles, must it be only you? get my point, is my article the only once you see ? I can bet that there are many bad articles out there that have stayed long that you won’t wanna make such comments on like you always do in mine, I see them too but I’m more focused on copyedits. Madeforall1 (talk) 16:23, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I review quite a handful of articles, it is evident from the review log. I also review articles that on subjects that I am interested in, you happen to always create article that I have interest in. Perhaps, your style of response is becoming suspicious, The way you moved the article to draft immediately I PRODed it and moved it back to mainspace without bothering on asking or reaching out (which you later did). Calm down and try hearing out why there are problems with the articles you create so that you can learn from them. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:33, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Your concern was Copyedit and I believe it’s been treated, I create articles based on the class of topics I’m interested in at the moment, I can switch my niche if I’m covered the desired topics I wish to write on, one thing I believe is we have thousands of editors and I can say not every editor can tell the notability of some articles if it’s not your niche or if the topic is not in your Geographical base. Madeforall1 (talk) 16:44, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Your statements are incomprehensible (at least, to me) and make it evident that you aren’t ready to listen and learn. I can’t recall mentioning “Copyedit” as my concern. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:12, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Request on 00:09:29, 6 July 2024 for assistance on AfC submission by Shahidi Islam
Hey Wikipedia review team,

I submitted my first article recently on a topic I know quite well: myself. To get a little understanding of Wikipedia submissions in action I searched authors I was familiar with and did similar to what they did, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Heywood and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_G._Reddie. I see very little dissimilarity between what I have submitted and what they submitted. In fact, the Andrew Heywood article is no article at all. I worked hard to put together my article. It was not a promo it was a discussion. I don't say this to criticize but to understand. Why did my article get rejected when it clearly fits into what Wikipedia puts out. I am willing to revise any offending aspects and sections but I don't think the article itself is as bad as you have made it out to be.

Please let me know how I can improve it but do look over the articles I have discussed and see that Wikipedia has articles that have less work and are less referenced than mine.

Thank you,

Shahidi Shahidi Islam (talk) 00:09, 6 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Shahidi Islam Hi there. You’re strongly discouraged from writing about yourself on Wikipedia, this is based on our content guide on autobiography. I usually take “strongly discouraged” as “do not do it” especially when you can’t do it from a neutral point of view. The articles you mentioned were not created by the subjects themselves, someone independent of them must of created it. You also are not properly writing yours, I see another version at User:Shahidi Islam/sandbox. Please do not continue writing about yourself. You might just be notable from the look of things but the approach is important too, don’t write an article about something or something you have close connections with, in this case, yourself.

Space Cup Denial
Hello. You denied my page on the space cup citing a lack of sources, when these sources A) were gathered from other places on Wikipedia, B) Contained patent filings from the original inventor of the cup and his direct statements on it, and C) Were numerous and diverse.

Please rescind this blockage and allow my page to go live. What more could be done to remedy this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gspinty1 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 11 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Gspinty1 Hi there. The page wasn't only unsuitable but also a promotion, and Wikipedia is not a soapbox or a vehicle for advertising. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * How is it a promotion? Gspinty1 (talk) 17:51, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @VanderwaalforcesHow is it a promotion? No one commercializes it. It's a historical invention referenced across Wikipedia, yet with no page of its own. I just wanted to change that.
 * And how does that have anything to do with the "lack of citations" that you originally denied this for? Gspinty1 (talk) 17:56, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Gspinty1 You obviously didn't bother to find out why your draft (which was promotional and deleted by Jimfbleak). It wasn't just "lack of citations" but lack of citations to reliable sources, see what reliable sources are. The draft was also not suitable because you were trying to promote yourself? or something you have a connection to. It is clear from your username similarity. If you were trying to write about yourself, see the guideline about writing about yourself because you are strongly discouraged to do so. If you were writing about something/someone you are connected to, see the conflict-of-interest policy, which should give you extensive details on how to disclose your COI if you have any. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:04, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Definitely not writing about myself, I'm not accomplished enough to be an astronaut. But I do appreciate spaceflight history and microgravity discoveries, which this cup qualifies for and is why I made it. This item is not commercialized, and I certainly don't incur any financial or social benefit from it. And username similarity? For my username..... Gspinty1? On what context? I'm sorry, but that is completely baseless and assumptive.
 * And as I said in my first message inquiry, my citations were literally taken from primary and published sources, with insights from the inventor, ALL used on currently published Wikipedia pages. Everything was factual and every claim with an ounce of subjectivity received a citation to back it up.
 * I'm sorry if we got off on the wrong foot, but this blockage has 0 merit whatsoever. I'll review over the citations again on your recommendation, make some changes, and then just try again. Gspinty1 (talk) 22:22, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Gspinty1 You should follow recommendations and try again, I am not specifically interested in the draft so, feel free to not come to me when you're done. There are hundreds of other active reviewers that might find it before I do. Happy editing. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 22:26, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * yeah I'd hope so, cheers mate. I'll remove all this to declutter your page. Gspinty1 (talk) 22:42, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Gspinty1 Please, do not remove them. I'd prefer to keep them as is. Thanks. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 22:50, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Draft: Kagoj
Dear Sir

I did not create this article prior to its publishing. Even someone made a mistake on my computer about it, and I apologize. However, this article is pretty good because of the good movie. I apologize for that. I believe you could support it from your end. Is there any possibility of making it live given that all of the sources are genuine?

regards Urmeesalma (talk) 16:03, 12 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Urmeesalma Hi there, I totally understand your point of view. SafariScribe you actually reviewed and declined this draft. You could respond to them here... it actually passes WP:NFILM to me, only a cleanup of WP:REFBOMBs is needed and it isn't a reason to decline based on notability grounds. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:10, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Vanderwaalforces, you could have seen the history, and my later suggestion, which @Urmeesalma has incorporated into the draft. Safari Scribe Edits! Talk! 16:41, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Urmeesalma Just by the way, do you have any connection with Alizdirector or vice versa? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:54, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I have seen he also doing same article. He or she might be someone from film industry. But i do not know, should i ask him/her about it?? Alizdirector (talk) 17:26, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Through this topics??here?? Alizdirector (talk) 17:28, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Alizdirector If you are not the same person as Urmeesalma, the then there's no need of reaching out to them. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:39, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Appreciated. And well noted. Things is that a true article is important,  that i feel only.  Alizdirector (talk) 17:43, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Request on 20:49:18, 12 July 2024 for assistance on AfC submission by Canadianlegalguy
Just wondering what's the issue with this article? It's far more comprehensive than the current article covering the case ("Death of Jeffrey Northrup"), is fully cited, and actually covers the entire trial and its final verdict. If "Death of Jeffrey Northrup" can exist with its incomplete coverage, surely this article (which is an important case in Toronto and Canadian criminal law) is worthy on Wikipedia?

Canadianlegalguy (talk) 20:49, 12 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Canadianlegalguy Hi there. Because U resembles V and there's a Wikipedia article for V doesn't mean U can automatically qualify for an article if it doesn't meet any notability guidelines. Whether Death of Jeffrey Northrup is incomplete in coverage or not, and is related to your draft in a way and is already on mainspace, doesn't make your draft presumptively qualified for a standalone article. Specifically and firstly, I am more concerned about your sourcing as verifiability is very important, secondly you need to write based on the neutral point of view policy. I hope this helps you and give you more context on why your draft was declined. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 22:23, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the response. I have a few questions:
 * 1) The current article features 18 sources, and each individual section is sourced.  The only organizations that covered the inner workings of the trial are the CBC and the Canadian Press; I can't get any other sources.  The Toronto Star, Toronto Sun, and Globe and Mail (the major Canadian newspapers) all simply reference the Canadian Press' reports.  Additionally, other sources were used in other portions of the article (CP24, Brampton Guardian, etc.) when possible.
 * 2) The article was written by feeding all articles covering the case into Claude.ai, with the prompt "Write a neutral article about the Umar Zameer case that can be uploaded to Wikipedia".  I made some slight edits for formatting purposes, but the article was intended to be written from a neutral standpoint.
 * 3) Regarding the notability: this was a major legal case covered in Canadian newspapers for over 3 years.  The Toronto Police department, the Canadian Criminal Law association, and several Ontario politicians of note (Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Toronto major John Tory) were involved.
 * Any additional feedback would be greatly appreciated, especially regarding notability and sources. Canadianlegalguy (talk) 14:30, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Yellow (Brymo album)/GA1
hi! i saw you submitted Talk:Yellow (Brymo album)/GA1 for the DCWC. unfortunately, we're going to have to decline it since it doesn't thoroughly address the criteria, particularly regarding the sourcing. GAN reviews should include a spot-check and consideration of the reliability of each source - some of the sources used on the article, such as BellaNaija, are considered unreliable. if you'd like guidance on doing source reviews, you can post at WT:GAN for a third opinion or sign up at WP:Good article mentorship. thanks for your participation! :) ... sawyer  * he/they *  talk  20:35, 13 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Sawyer777 Hi there, thanks for your message. I don't need guidance in doing source reviews, I am confident in my skills, and it is evident in the other areas that I work in, like AfDs. But it's okay if you decline it for DCWC. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 20:46, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * appreciate the swift reply. personally, i would suggest reverting the close of the review and reconsidering the GA pass on sourcing grounds. ... sawyer  * he/they *  talk  21:00, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Sawyer777 Yeah, I was going to do that. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 21:05, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Sawyer777 I looked again to this, and I don't find any further issue. You can read my comments on the review page too. Of course, a new RfC for BellaNaija's reliability needs to be initiated, I personally consider them reliable because there's been a serious overhaul on the publication since then. I'm adding this back to my submissions page. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 14:42, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Deletion of Kulwant Singh Rauke
Hey, I noticed that you nominated Kulwant Singh Rauke article for deletion, however your nomination was removed the creator of the article before it's due date without any discussion upon the deletion. You may want to revisit to see if it fits WP:Notability else you can renominate the article for deletion as per WP:PROD and WP:AFD.
