06:09, 9 June 2024 review of submission by Coldgradir
How to change my sandbox to Coldgradir when I search Coldgradir Wikipedia on Google Coldgradir (talk) 06:09, 9 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @Coldgradir: drafts are not indexed by search engines, only published articles are, and this has zero chance of being published in its present state. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:34, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Courtesy link: Draft:Walter Wetzel Sr. do you have a question about the draft? It is waiting for review. --bonadea contributions talk 12:29, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello Bonadea. Yes I am waiting to hear back on its approval. I made an attempt to get a reply back but no one has updated me on it. I added a few more references but wanted to make sure it is going to be reviewed and approved. I have been waiting for months on get this approved.
 * Any update would be appreciated. Ryan H Wetzel MTlegends(talk). 12:32, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * You have ignored the advice that Legacy.com and IMDb are not reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 12:45, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I apologize. There are a few other resources out there on him that can be used in place of these. I will add them. Thank you Ryan H Wetzel MTlegends(talk). 14:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @MTlegends please be patient. Drafts are reviewed in no particular order by volunteers. Like the template says, This may take 3 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 3,223 pending submissions waiting for review.


 * I see that your user page says you're the grandson of the person you're writing about. Please see WP:COI.   [[User:CanonNi ]]  (talk • contribs) 12:46, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the feedback. User page info has been updated. Ryan H Wetzel MTlegends(talk). 13:45, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * No it hasn't? You have removed the details of your relationship to the topic whereas you need to add it! Theroadislong (talk) 13:48, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I did add it with a few other items. Hope it helps. I am new to all of this stuff. Thanks for your patience in advance. Ryan H Wetzel MTlegends(talk). 14:16, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * One thing that delayed the review was the removal of some templates from the draft on 13 May – you deleted the current submission template (which meant that the page was removed from the category of drafts waiting for review), as well as the reviewer comments from earlier submissions. I restored them and the draft has already been reviewed again. If you edit and resubmit, please be careful not to remove any of the templates or comments from earlier reviews. --bonadea contributions talk 14:05, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

What was missing VineethVaraprasad (talk) 12:52, 9 June 2024 (UTC)


 * See the advice given to you above. Please do not create a new draft every time an old one is rejected.   [[User:CanonNi ]]  (talk • contribs) 12:54, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @VineethVaraprasad: and if I can just add, I reported you for self-promotion, but the report went stale before anyone acted on it. I won't hesitate to report again, though, if you continue in this vein, so please stop now. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:08, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

please review the contact tell me the changes VineethVaraprasad (talk) 13:21, 9 June 2024 (UTC)


 * What part of "do not remove rejection templates" do you not understand? The same draft has been rejected four times and will not be considered further.   [[User:CanonNi ]]  (talk • contribs) 13:24, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Your draft has been declined and rejected multiple times, your sources are NOT reliable. Theroadislong (talk) 13:26, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Need advice in publishing the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mira-Bhayander,_Vasai-Virar_Police page... Pratik.S2005 (talk) 14:36, 9 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @Pratik.S2005, your draft was rejected four months ago. Please read the reviewers' notes, under the big orange/pink box on your draft. StartGrammarTime (talk) 03:04, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * but, if you analyse the topic, you will know that the topic is notable, yet not published... Pratik.S2005 (talk) 06:08, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Pratik.S2005 IMO the draft could be merged into Maharashtra Police.   [[User:CanonNi ]]  (talk • contribs) 06:12, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

20:50, 9 June 2024 review of submission by OkcuhC
- How to reposition the infobox military person to the top right side of the page ? - How to cite Oman's New York Times 1948 obituary? Should it be in a bibliography? It was a "special to the New York Times" Obit. Have scan of original NYT clipping. It appears in NYT Obit index as: Oman, Charles M. (por) 1948. N 2, 25:5 but can't generate a proper direct link to it. Or is source and date sufficient? - My primary sources were the NYT obituary, and a congruent 1941 Who's Who in America entry - should both be listed? - Oman's 1943 book Doctor's Aweigh is in public domain, and available at https://archive.org/details/doctorsaweigh. Is it appropriate to include it as an External Link? OkcuhC (talk) 20:50, 9 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @OkcuhC Much general housekeeping has been done for you.
 * The Wordpress reference is a blog, the unreliable by definition. Source and date of the obit is a sufficient reference, though an ideal reference is available online. Even so, many references pre-date the internet and may not have been digitised, and are perfectly acceptable.
 * As a personal opinion, one reference only for one fact, though others are content with up to three. Three is my limit, not a target! 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 06:19, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Many thanks Timtrent. Should I add the Who's Who as a second reference source, and then go thru the bio section key facts adding the appropriate source? Is his book on naval medical history (1943, Doubleday publisher) appropriate as a second supporting source, including page numbers. His book does provide historical context and details on some of his life events.
 * Also, what was the trick you used to correctly position the infobox:military person on the page? Should I have put it at the start? 2601:19C:4000:3040:1891:5593:924E:C0C2 (talk) 12:55, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Added citations to biography sections... 2601:19C:4000:3040:7014:82DC:20A7:DBDA (talk) 17:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Why was my application declined Djy Lectxr 727 (talk) 21:32, 9 June 2024 (UTC)


 * See the message on your user talk page. ColinFine (talk) 21:55, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Because it is an autobiography with no citations to support notability of any kind. --Hammersoft (talk) 23:06, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
