Request on 16:42:14, 4 November 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Li9yi
Hi, I just submitted my article and it was declined. It is my first wikipedia article and I may need some help with how to improve it. The subject in my article is aligned with the Notability guideline: "worthy of notice" "remarkable, significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". I just listed which year he did what based on all the resources I cited in the article, without positive or negative word, it is a neutral point of view. Why it is suspected to be an advertisement?

I don't understand the term 'This submission is not suitable for Wikipedia. Please read 'What Wikipedia is not' for more information.'. Could you please specify in detail more about this issue.

 * I don't understand the comment either, and I am an experienced reviewer. Is there a guideline concerning ethnic cuisine?  Is there a notability issue, or a tone issue?  Robert McClenon (talk) 15:01, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

 * In that case, I would say to User:Reso7373 that they need to focus more on books or articles that have described the notability of this particular cuisine. I would also suggest to User:Zppix that a decline on grounds of what Wikipedia is not should identify some particular guideline as to what Wikipedia is not.

Hello I'm the creator of the page Darft:U.S. 31 in Tennessee. I never submitted it for approval so I have know idea why that is suddenly showing up that somebody did. I still have major edits to make, so if you could get rid of that dialogue I would appreciate it greatly. Oh and this language "The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at U.S. Route 31. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you." I have some prove that my artticle dose have sufficient information, please look here"You can always create Draft:U.S. Route 31 in Tennessee and work on a draft copy of a future article. When it's ready, then we can move it over and make it an actual article.

So would "actual in-depth third-party news", be an article from bigger sites like the Inquisitr? Sorry, I'm a little lost on what types of reliable sources I need. I followed the Wikipedia page of other Korean streaming companies section by section. The company isn't that relatively new they've been around for almost 6 years.

 * 1) is from a journal--format it with cite journal or cite news to make that clear. I consider this a good reference

Request on 10:19:41, 19 November 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Jur Schuurman
Dear Zppix,

Today I saw your message about my declined 'Land governance' submission. I noticed that the reason you gave for rejection was exactly the same as that of the previous reviewer: "This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner." I find this curious, since have made many changes. Can you give me some additional pointers as to what I should do?

Best,

SPI clerking
Hi there! We appreciate that you want to help out in sockpuppet investigations, but I think that you should leave clerking to the clerks team, you're doing some things that don't seem appropriate to me. I noticed today at Sockpuppet investigations/DifensorFidelis that you placed a sockpuppet tag on an account that was flagged "unlikely" by the checkusers, and no other evidence has been presented. That's very dubious: accusing an editor of sockpuppetry with no evidence is a personal attack. You should either review and present evidence to back up your finding, or you should revert yourself. In another case a little while ago I recall you added an inline checkuser flag in a case, which 1) isn't the right way to request checkuser in an SPI page, and 2) was not possible in that case anyway. I see you've already listed yourself on the trainee requests page, which is good, but please refrain from clerking until you're taken on as a trainee and/or approved to clerk. Thanks.

AfD relisting
You really need to not be relisting AfDs, in my opinion. Relists like this and this border on disruptive. See WP:Relist bias for a bit of an explanation of the damages of relisting discussions that have already found consensus. Consensus was clear in these discussions, and I've closed them properly. You've been repeatedly warned about moving into new areas long before you've gained the knowledge and clue necessary to be successful in them. At some point, this does become a competence issue, and I'd prefer not to see you return to ANI for that. Please stick to the areas where you've been successful or other basic areas rather than more advanced administrative tasks. ~ Rob 13 Talk 03:52, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Zppix, one thing I take a dim view of is off-Wiki admin-shopping; chances are you haven't told them the full story so they won't know where to look and notice that the community as well as  does not feel you have sufficient competence to be ding any kind of reviewing. Your September talk page is full of complaints which you appear to shrug off each time with a simple 'acknowledged' without improving your work. I'll restore your New Page Reviewer right, but I would like you and to know that if you make one single 'mistake' with it again, it will be gone without discussion, and I may even block you as well to prevent further disruption.

 * At the recent competency issue ANI which I  closed as a neutral  observer, many admins such as, , , and one of our  most  experienced patrollers, , had plenty of advice to offer you about avoiding maintenance areas that you are not ready for. The new thread below by   also appears to suggest once more that you  haven't taken the advice. If you do hope to be an admin one day, this is the wrong way to go about it.

Reviewing semi-protected edit requests
Hi Zppix, I'm unfortunately concerned that you're not taking time to properly review semi-protected edit requests before actioning them. For example, at Talk:List of Young Global Leaders, I see you declined an edit request as unsourced, whilst deleting a duplicate request which had the source in it. I know you're doing this in good faith, but please think before editing - in this example you may well have scared away a perfectly good editor, for example. Also, using automated tools/scripts is never an excuse for not manually checking what they've done - you're responsible for your edits. Mike1901 (talk) 21:31, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Weird, I didn't notice a source when I looked at it, and read both requests in full. Maybe I overlooked it, my apologizes Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ Talk 21:34, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * One of your edits explicitly removed the section with the source in - I'm just concerned (coupled with sections above) that you're overlooking a lot of things in your maintenance work, and generally doing them too quickly (and using a lot of automated scripts - which is fine, but you do need to be aware of the edit they're making). You need to realise that it's counterproductive to do maintenance tasks like these badly, it's better to not do them at all. Please slow down. Mike1901 (talk) 21:37, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

New Page Review - newsletter
Hello ,


 * Breaking the back of the backlog

We now have New Page Reviewers! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog. Now it's time for action. If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work! Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.

Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.
 * Second set of eyes

With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers. We've listed most of what what we need at the 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey. Voting starts on 28 November - please turn out to make our bid the Foundation's top priority.
