User talk:Notcharizard/archive 2

Thanks!

Hello. Thanks for going through my draft for the Kipo soundtrack. I have to note, though, that you called Film Music Reporter an unreliable source. I can't find much discussion on the topic, but according to user IfiniteNexus here, it is actually considered a reliable source. Zingo156 (talk) 11:38, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

License tagging for File:International quadball association.png

Thanks for uploading File:International quadball association.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 10:30, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, have done it now! -- NotCharizard ^🗨 10:36, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:International quadball association.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:International quadball association.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука¹³ 12:23, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

My edits on Magsingal Ilocos sur

Why my edits on Magsingal Ilocos Sur is deleted My edits are base on our history and Bring it 111.125.104.52 (talk) 09:08, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Is this Airajosh12? If so, it's much easier to keep track of who I'm talking with if you stay logged in!

You added a lot of unsourced information to the article, but you didn't use reliable sources to cite any of it. Although your information is probably accurate, just saying "trust me, I know because I live there" isn't really enough. Have a look at WP:IC for info on how to do inline citations when editing. And good luck on the article, it's always great to haves someone knowledgable improve an article, as long as they source their info. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 09:17, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Rejected Draft Article on Georg Kreis

Hi, thank you for your recent feedback on the draft article on Georg Kreis. I have seen your assessment of its limitations and have hopefully addressed them by adding newspaper articles which go in depth in profiling him and talking about him, after his autobiography was published. I have also added a bunch more secondary sources in general. Let me know if this addresses your concerns. Wickster12345 (talk) 00:52, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for that! Another editor or I will look at it at some point, depending on how many others are in the queue at the moment :) -- NotCharizard ^🗨 10:01, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Glen Eira College

Sorry, but I think you may have made an error in reversing the updates to the Glen Eira College page. These are a statement of fact. They are locally verifiable updates about Division 1 (premiership) sporting results. This is not advertising. It would be the same for any sporting teams.

The link to a wikipedia page was also removed. Why? This is for a registered Australian not-for-profit health organisation legitimately mentioned in the text.

Changes to past tense from present tense were also undone.

You also added a note at the top saying this sounded advertorial. How? Again, sporting results are a statement of fact. Would these be removed for soccer teams? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.210.56.138 (talk) 09:38, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Read external links for information on external links in the body of an article. If you feel they need to be included, I suggest putting them at the bottom of the page under an "external links" header.

I didn't change edit about Matilda because of tense, but because of the "highly successful production" aspect, which reads as promotional unless you can source a review. Read Wikipedia's policy on promotional material for more info. The other information in that edit was also all unsourced. Where did you get the information from? If you have a connection with the school, please read the Wikipedia policy on conflicts of interest.

Also, please put new messages at the bottom of the page, and don't forget to sign by putting four "~" at the end of the message :) -- NotCharizard ^🗨 09:59, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Draft: Cameron Driggers

Hi NotCharizard!

Thanks for your comment on my first Wikipedia page (: I’m doing this biography on Draft: Cameron Driggers for a school project so I’d love your help in increasing its chances of being published. As per your request, I added additional information/ sources on Driggers’ earlier work as a youth which although does not profile him directly, does expand on his extensive record of advocacy. Can you let me know what your thoughts are?

thank you!! Mrwriter2.0 (talk) 05:05, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Wow, I'd just opened my laptop and opened Wikipedia a few minutes before you sent this! What good timing. I've had a look at the sourced you've added and I believe a good notability is shown now. Thanks for writing it too, was really interesting to read about him and his work and I love being able to accept a draft :) -- NotCharizard ^🗨 05:16, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much for accepting it! I never thought it would happen so fast! Forgive my ignorance, but do you know where I can find our more about what happens next. I know it doesn’t say draft anymore, but it doesn’t appear to be a live page either. Is there another step in the process for article creation? Mrwriter2.0 (talk) 01:30, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean? Cameron Driggers is a published article now. It might not show up in search results yet as that can sometimes take time (idk how all that works) but there's nothing else you need to do (although you're welcome to keep working on it more if you want). -- NotCharizard ^🗨 02:53, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

New pages patrol invitation

Hello, Notcharizard. The new pages patrol team is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles and redirects needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help. I believe that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines. Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions. If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here. Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around! Thanks, Hey man im josh (talk) 19:06, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Oh yeah I'm keen, thanks for messaging me :D -- NotCharizard ^🗨 04:47, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Well then I hope to see you give it a go sometime! If you use Discord there is one which the NPP team uses. It's a great place to ask questions on and get guidance if you're just starting out. Hey man im josh (talk) 10:12, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

And now I see you have it. Wonderful! Thanks for joining the team :) Hey man im josh (talk) 11:38, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Notcharizard. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Steps such as checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline are mandatory and will take a few minutes per article.
• Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any required steps.
• Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. – Joe (talk) 09:55, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Declined speedy deletion for Raina (surname)

I have declined your A10 for Raina (surname). It is not a duplicate topic of Raina which is a disambiguation page and not an actual article whereas Raina (surname) is an article specifically about the surname. -- Whpq (talk) 13:59, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Talia Marshall AfC approval

Hello Notcharizard! I'm replying here because I'm really unsure why you accepted the Talia Marshall AfC, as the sourcing is currently quite inadequate, and the subject does not seem to be a notable writer or meet the GNG. The references in the article are almost entirely primary and/or not-independent:

• Reference #1: The poem she wrote.
• Reference #2: Her website's guest-writer entry page (with her listed as author).
• Reference #3: Her articles she wrote as a columnist.
• Reference #4: Non-independent interview with Talia for Māori writer residency.
• Reference #5: Her writer's festival author entry page.
• Reference #6: Her diorama workshop she hosted, inviting people to visit.
• Reference #7: Her crowdfunding page.
• Reference #8: Interview transcript with Talia.
• Reference #9: Article on how she won $3000 via writer's residency.

If you have any further information on this acceptance and the notability of the subject, please let me know, because I think it was far too early for this article to be moved out of Draftspace. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 16:58, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

No, that's completely fair. I had someone more experienced that me tell my accept rate was concerniningly low and they were worried I was "only here to delete articles" and so I tried being less strict than I normally am and accepting some articles. I don't disagree with you though. I'm getting very mixed messages. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 06:17, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for the response. It's a difficult decision for sure, but I'm glad you understand where I'm at with this. I'm bringing this up with you because, as the AfC approver, I hoped you would be able to share some of your rationalization & thought process you had during your AfC review that led your approval and you saying "Yes, this subject is notable". Whether it's because we had differing judgements of the references (a valid possibility), or if you did a check of your own that led to sources which could be added at a later date (also valid), I wanted to double check if there was any missing information and whether you were open to redraftification (I'm not asking you to do so, but am just curious). Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 06:35, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

I do think that being featured by the Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa is notable, and I'm having a look now and finding some more sources online which I might be able to add. Will edit the article a bit and see if I can improve it at all :) -- NotCharizard ^🗨 06:46, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! With this all being said I do think that Talk:Talia Marshall is probably a better place to continue this discussion, so let me know on the talk page there if you find anything to implement. (I recently reviewed (and declined) a separate article the author wrote, which is why I'm asking about this in case there's any commonalities between subjects.) Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 06:50, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Follow-up: Realistically though, if you don't think she's notable, it doesn't make much sense to re-draftify the article after it passed the AfC process. If there's not any better sources I may have to (unfortunately) send it to AfD, which I wasn't particularly keen to do because the author was recently congratulated for getting past... so hopefully she is notable. 🥲 Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 06:43, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Rejected draft on Pyrmont Railway Station

Hi, thank you for your feedback about my draft, I have included more information about the station alongside two new secondary sources from independent articles about the station. Regarding your point on whether it may be too soon to publish, I completely understand that the topic may be too limited to create an article on at this point, however my purpose in submitting the article was to maintain consistency, as this was the only station on the Sydney Metro West line that had no independent article. They are all limited in detail, but serve as foundations to be added upon as time goes on, and my draft would fill the only gap between the articles. If you think I should add more, could you detail what? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Help 247 (talk • contribs) 09:51, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello! It's not so much about how small the article is, it's to do with the general notability guidelines and how well the sources fit that. I've had a look at the extra info though and the other articles on the line, and I reckon you're right in regards to them having similar notability in regards to the sources you've used. I appreciate you getting in touch to give me more info and also thank you for being so polite about it :) Also, even though I'm accepting it, if you did want any tips still on what else to add, I recommend WikiProject Trains. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 10:15, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Anarchism

Hi Notcharizard,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 19:40, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks so much! I'll definitely have a look at those resources, really appreciate it :) -- NotCharizard ^🗨 01:27, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Articles for Creation on academics

Do not need independent sourcing if the subject meets WP:PROF as I believe Draft:Michael Charlton (academic) does. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:28, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Hywel R. Thomas clearly meets WP:PROF as an FRS!! Also his Royal Society bio is in no way a primary source from his employers. Draft:Helen Fulton also looks probably notable under PROF and will probably also be notable under AUTHOR. Please stop reviewing academics at AfC, you clearly have no idea how to apply the guidelines. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:42, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@Espresso Addict I am sorry for making mistakes, I am still learning and it is difficult to keep in mind all the different guidelines for different proffesions. I'll try to avoid reviewing academics for now until I understand the protocol better. It is worth noting that the person who created those articles had been paid to do which made me more strict on them than I may have been otherwise.

I think your message is overly aggresive here, and I ask you to please more polite and patient in the future. I am trying my best and I do not doubt you have made editing mistakes in the past. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 03:18, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

@Espresso Addict I am thankful to you for bringing this to my attention however, to be clear. I have moved the drafts to mainspace now after reviewing them with the extra information you provided :) Cheers. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 04:16, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing my submission. I've edited in more references to news paper articles and interviews, including The New York Times, but the article was rejected again. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time. KG Australia (talk) 23:30, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

You have defintely made improvements since I reviewed the draft, so good job! Note that interviews are primary soruces and don't show notability, and it can be useful to check your sources on the perennial sources list to see what other editors think of them. Good luck! -- NotCharizard ^🗨 03:27, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

About Helen Fulton

Hey NotCharizard, did you mean to move this draft to mainspace? You declined it not even two days ago for notability/sourcing concerns. In addition, since the move was done without the AfC helper script, all of the old tags are still on the article, and the draft creator has not been notified. Let me know what you think! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:31, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, was still cleaning up when you messaged this. I was informed by another user (above on my talk page) that I had misunderstood the notability guidelines in regards to academics, and that they do not need as many secondary sources as most other professions, so I moved the draft to mainspace today. Thank you a lot for checking! -- NotCharizard ^🗨 04:37, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

No problem, mistakes happen! In the future, if you come across a situation where you want to accept a draft that was previously declined and was not resubmitted for review, I'd recommend you use the helper script to initiate another review and then accept it yourself, which will save you the trouble of cleaning up. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:47, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

I had wondered if it would be better to submit it as myself or just move it, but I was worried it would look odd/bias to accept an article I submitted myself which is why I decided not to. Hadn't considered the advantages of the auto clean up! I'll do it that way next time, thanks so much :) -- NotCharizard ^🗨 04:55, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello Notcharizard,

New Page Review article queue, March to September 2023

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Thank you so much! That is lovely of you to take the time to give a kind feedback :) -- NotCharizard ^🗨 00:21, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Could you look over my draft again?

Hi there Notcharizard! I hope you are well (:

A few months ago you accepted the first biographical article I wrote (Draft:Cameron Driggers), but unfortunately it was quickly demoted back to draft-status apparently due to a lack of sources. I have recently updated the draft by adding much more well-sourced information. I technically received the grade I needed for this assignment as it was accepted onto the main space for a short time, but I felt bad knowing it was quickly downgraded back to a draft. I was hoping you could give it another look to see if its ready to be public just yet. Mrwriter2.0 (talk) 06:22, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

@Mrwriter2.0 Hi! I've had a bit of a break from Wikipedia so am a bit out of practice, but will have a look over it.

main notes i have are that more references don’t make the article better, it’s about quality references. a good article with five quality sources is better than a long one with thirty poor ones. at this point notability is still the main issue. an article that mentions him in passing, or shows he went to a school doesn’t show that he’s notable enough for an article. a lot of the articles are also by local news (based on their own about page), which isn’t bad, but many people i know have been in their local news a few times and it doesn't show notability. you’ve got a great collection of sources about the protests and movements, but the majority of them aren’t about driggers.

just looking at only notability, specific sources feedback (i did a crtl+f search on most so may be wrong when i say he’s not mentioned in some):

1. good

2&3. published by the subject of the article

4&5. not relevant for notability in this context

6. only a passing mention

7. decent

8. not mentioned

9&10. local news

13. only mentioned in an image description

14. not mentioned

15. good

16&17. decent

18. good

19. only mentioned in passing

20. not mentioned

21. good article, but still only local news

22. i cant view this. it’s behind a paywall. which is allowed, but i can;t judge it

23. bestcolleges seems to have a thing where colleges can pay to be published about, so this seems a bad source for notability

24. local news, passing mention

25. not mentioned

26. not mentioned

27. local news, decent article

28. not mentioned

29. not mentioned

30. not mentioned in the book, based on searching the ebook

31. local news

32. 404 page

33. good

34. good

35-38. not relevant for notability in this context

it’s also worth noting that a lot of the articles quote Driggers, which makes them borderline on being a primary source -- NotCharizard ^🗨 01:23, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi NotCharizard! Thank you so much for coming out of your break to provide feedback on the draft sourcing. I have gone ahead and fixed many of the issues you raised. Mrwriter2.0 (talk) 00:53, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Miniverse (toy)

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

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When 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. ✗plicit 14:30, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Notcharizard,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Stop blindly reverting

Please take your time and don't just revert edits without actually having context of the page's history, and please do not put templates with completely irrelevant reasons (in this case, POV). 35.141.142.199 (talk) 04:46, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

My apologies, I was not blindly reverting - I tried to revert it at the same time as you, and thus it reverted your revert. Mistakes happen, please be sure to assume good faith in future. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 04:48, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

It's ok, I forgive you. And I'm sorry I was a little bit rough. I'll be nicer in the future.35.141.142.199 (talk) 04:49, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Rfd of spray paint

Greetings, I saw you opened a discussion about spray paint at Rfd at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2024_April_21#Spray_paint. What is needed for discussion of your proposal is a requested move discussion. I have speedily closed the Rfd discussion due it being wrong venue. Feel free to go ahead and start a RM discussion at Talk:Aerosol paint. Cheers, Mdewman6 (talk) 03:59, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

@Mdewman6 Thank you so much for explaining and removing the Rfd for me! Sorry about that. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 04:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

The Sign (Bluey)

You tagged the wrong redirect in trying to accept this draft. You tagged the second redirect in a sequence rather than the first one. I have corrected the tagging and have moved the tagged redirect out of the way, and accepted the article. Please be careful when tagging redirects for deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:43, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon Thank you! I am sorry, I've never done that with a redirect before. Thank you for accepting the article for me as well. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 04:59, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm new and i would like some help

You just declined my draft for "Samir Buzatu" with this motivation: "All of the sources are about the film, not him - except IMDB, which is unreliable as it's user-generated." which is okay, but in all the provided links, Samir Buzatu is mentioned in relation to the cast and his role as the production designer of the film. Could you please clarify why this isn't considered sufficient? and sorry for insisting, it's only because I genuinely want to understand, because venom is a very relevant film, and his position in the film is equally so as the production designer. RangoSangoA (talk) 11:34, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

@RangoSangoA for a person to be notable according to Wikipedia there needs to be independent, reliable sources about them. The sources you provided were not about Buzatu, so they don't show he is notable. I do not have any interest how relevent a film reviewing a draft, I just care about the Wikipedia guidelines of notability. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 11:39, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Invite

I'm surprised you haven't joined WikiProject Pokémon yet. It's more active than ever, and we could use people like you. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 14:07, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

@TrademarkedTWOrantula I tend not to edit many Pokémon articles because it's so popular there seems to usually be nothing more I can do for most of them! I would like to be able to do more though, and that's probably the perfect place for me to be able to, so thank you! -- NotCharizard ^🗨 03:15, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

That's alright. Feel free to do what you like. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 03:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

BeWelcome comment

There was no such intention on the numbers of members!!! so what u suggest? is it bad to quote the number of members a website has? as long as it is real? u want only the current number with no reference on previous ones? i am open to suggestions. leonidas z (talk) 06:40, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

I applied the changes you wanted on the BeWelcome draft page you asked. Hope it is better now. leonidas z (talk) 06:37, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

@Leonidas7812 Someone will review the draft again eventually, there are a lot so please be patient. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 08:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
