Removal of Teahouse section

Hi - I saw you reverted this question at the Teahouse and warned the user. While I don't speak Portuguese, a machine translation suggests that they want to know how to contribute to pages protected from vandalism because they are not a vandal. If you interpreted it differently, could you explain what you think they meant - or if you agree, would you mind self-reverting your warning of that user? Tollens (talk) 15:13, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Ok....I removed my caution. Theroadislong (talk) 15:16, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey! Theroadislong, could you please review my draft Draft:Mufti Raza Ali Khan. BrownCanary61 (talk) 07:05, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Editing issues

we wish to update his correct designation. name of his projects, his education, background and career, but every time we make an edit it says that its promotional content. could you please help us by letting us know where we are going wrong. Anamikadas05 (talk) 07:48, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Anamikadas05 Who is "we"? Wikipedia accounts are strictly single person use, your edit here [1] added ridiculous promotional content and spam links. Theroadislong (talk) 08:18, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

BOZZA

Dear Theroadislong I've been working on my first Wikipedia Page creation for months. The page is Salvatore Ruocco. I chose him, because I think he thinks it's possible to have a page. I have attached many funds, including American ones. I think you deserve to be accepted. It's my first page. I am also a supporter of Wikipdia, I love wikipedia. I congratulate you on your page. And I hope you can accept my page.

Thank you so much

Ps Looking at pages on wikipedia, there are truly unsourced pages, yet they created a page. Cinefilm (talk) 08:08, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

It would help reviewers if you placed the sources directly after the content that they support. Theroadislong (talk) 08:21, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
those are usually old and probably wouldn't survive an afd
their existence doesn't mean any other article should get away with having nothing in the reliable source department, which is why drafts on up-and-coming people, businesses and pay-to-grind mobile games tend to get declined, rejected or deleted, regardless of how many popular they actually are cogsan • (give me attention) • (see my deeds) 12:19, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Best Wikipedia Editor

Honestly and with Justice rejected my article
Theroadislong, thank you for rejecting my article, you are a honest judge and you deserve all the best, just note, that the article is talking about my real country, but if i make any mistake then, i would be honored to get a rejection badge from you AstrowszechwiatWKG (talk) 20:09, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
I never get kudos like this accepting an article much less rejecting one. I'm jealous! :) S0091 (talk) 20:14, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
then next time when i make an article and it is not real, then leave a message on my talk page and i'll probably do the same to you :D AstrowszechwiatWKG (talk) 14:00, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Comment on Draft: Ido Kanter

Hello Theroadislong, Thank you for your comment on my draft article. I have made some changes to clarify the follow your dreams comment - its what Phil Anderson told Ido Kanter when he was studying under him. I added a reference to support this. I hope this is sufficient to remedy the issue. Thanks again, OffekM OffekM (talk) 12:36, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Tea House - Show me the way

@Theroadislong Thanks. As Turnbull commented, really speaking, actually I want to update my Article:Ramakrishna Mission Brahmananda College of Education. But I have some doubts and so I ask him few questions at the Teahouse Platform. Supriyomj16022008 (talk) 16:57, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Your editing is disruptive, creating multiple drafts and main space articles all of which are promotional and very poorly sourced. Ramakrishna Mission Brahmananda College of Education should probably be deleted as it is not a notable establishment. Theroadislong (talk) 17:08, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

'do not edit further until you answer this message'

Hello, The first thing I want to say you that I'm doing Service of my FATHER(GOD). There is no chance to earn anything by any means because I'm a monk whose motive is to rendering Seva or Service. Regard. Thank you. Supriyomj16022008 (talk) 17:56, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

My opinion

It's a notable establishment. As a novice I declared all my faults. I know that I made few mistakes and for that I already wrote at Tea House platform to forgive me. I want to know the way. Regards. Thank you. Supriyomj16022008 (talk) 18:06, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Note

Thank you for your constant look. Just now @Josh send me the message that the article has been reviewed but I don't know what is there decision. What to do now please tell. Supriyomj16022008 (talk) 13:29, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

The review notice you received was from new page patrol, the deletion review has not reached a conclusion yet, but seems pretty clear it will be deleted as poorly sourced promotion, your recent additions have not improved it's chances. Theroadislong (talk) 13:41, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Request

Follow your instructions. If possible please add wikimini atlas. {{coord}} I added but atlas is blank only. In the infobox if you think more things are added then please delete the extra one. Thank you. Supriyomj16022008 (talk) 14:02, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Is the article ready

Good day, @Theroadislongtheroadislong! Could you please help me better understand what specific changes are needed in the article? I've already rewritten the article, added sources, etc., and removed sections on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Martynenko_Ivan_Ivanovych_(1924) 

Would you kindly review the article to see if these changes are sufficient for publication? Thank you in advance! Inna Ogiievska (talk) 16:07, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
You need to submit it for review though I try not to review twice in a row, your draft is poorly sourced see WP:REFB for help and please remove all the external links from the body of the article we don't use them. Theroadislong (talk) 16:50, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Thank you, I'll try to figure it out. Inna Ogiievska (talk) 06:46, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
@Theroadislong Thank you for your time! The Wix website has been deleted, leaving links to Wikipedia articles or websites of well-known Ukrainian institutions. I think removing all the links would also be incorrect... There doesn't seem to be anything superfluous in the text itself. I hope this option is possible for publication. Inna Ogiievska (talk) 13:25, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

any chance?

Do I have any chance to publish my article on Paestum Museum? Golfodisalerno (talk) 17:02, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes certainly, maybe you could use some of the references in the "List of reliable, independent, published sources about the National Archaeological Museum of Paestum" Theroadislong (talk) 17:09, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

*I'm Back!!!!*

First off, your "Vile Comments" quote is misleading when all I did was put you in your place. Which "Real Men"/"Real Women". Can handle rather than get your feelings hurt and upset by "truth" And having to go "cry" to an Admin when we could've handled it between us but Ohhhh...No that was too much for you!,...you know you're at fault you misunderstood the situation And didn't even try to resolve it correctly. You just threw around your 260,000 edits and authority thinking I was gonna cower down to you...Plz

All I ask is this: "Be Better" And try to understand the situation in a better clarity, rather than acting with haste with misguided "Judgement" and don't abuse your authority and think your above everyone else, when you started out just like the rest of us. P.S Damn straight! I made that threat because if nothing else you need to be held accountable for abusing your power. Just as much as I have to be. Good Day!Hulk576 (talk) 17:59, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

I have absolutely no authority here I am an editor just like you, you might consider that calling someone an "areshole" is fine, but I don't and I consider your comments above a further personal attack. Theroadislong (talk) 18:05, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Multiple Code Theory question

Hi Theroadislong,


Thanks for reviewing the article I put up on Multiple Code Theory. I wanted to ask if you had recs re: notability, given that the theory and the researcher are fairly well-known within clinical psychology/cognitive science. Would more independent sources help?


Thank you! PetersonHC (talk) 21:56, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Absolutely, independent sources are exactly what are required, good luck. Theroadislong (talk) 22:14, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Requesting inputs

@Theroadislong Requesting your inputs @ WP:RSN#Anirudh Devgan to review notability @ Talk:Anirudh Devgan#Adding awards.

This request is made to you since previously (relatively recent times) you seem to have looked into the article Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Thanks Bookku (talk) 08:13, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Image wiki

Hello, i have seen your message about my photos being removed from my drafts. I was wondering how i could put them free sharing on wikimedia commons? I asked the owners of the photos if i could share them and they gave me permission, so im not sure why it is under copyright issues Veganpurplefox (talk) 19:53, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

The actual photographer would need to upload them with the appropriate license, this isn't something they can give you permission to do! Theroadislong (talk) 19:57, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
can I ask how they can't give me the rights? Veganpurplefox (talk) 20:01, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
They just can't! See WP:IUPC. Theroadislong (talk) 20:04, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Interviews not being reliable sources.

Hi, thanks for the message. I see interviews with other artists on their pages and Lyon has been written about in a recent special edition of Rolling Stone. I'm missing something as to why these interviews and articles cannot or would not be considered a valid source, again seeing very similar articles on other pages. Many thanks Engblu (talk) 21:20, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

See other stuff exists articles CAN have interviews as sources, but they do NOT contribute to any notability in drafts. Theroadislong (talk) 21:27, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Article request rejected

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to review the article: Draft:Mohsen Bahrami . For the source, official, reliable and independent sources are mentioned in almost every section of the article. If you check, according to his activities, you cannot rely on the factor of not being notability.

In addition to those sources, if you search Mohsen Bahrami or the actor Mohsen Bahrami in Farsi, even Google has dedicated the knowledge panel to him. Link

If you search in Persian, there are more information about him in more sources, and even general encyclopedia like Abadis mentions this person. Link Keep in mind that this site has only added well-known Iranian people in the encyclopedia section.

Similar articles are from lesser-known people in English who have only 1 non-independent source. I do not understand the reason for the sensitivity on this article, because according to the rules, independent Persian sources can also be cited. Even you can tell by the person's photos which proves a large part of his activities that he is a remarkable person.

I would be grateful if you could check again and help me to register this article. TheRealRainbowFlick (talk) 16:44, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Frank B Holmes

Hi Theroadislong,

I am getting ready to move another artists article from my sandbox however, I am unclear of my options because of my previous editing. Might that qualify me to be able to create an article myself?  If so, I’m not seeing the path. Is there an article that might shed light on that process?

Jjcoste2 (talk) 22:16, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Trying to save the draft I managed to move it out with some hairballs, which are now resolved. How does it look? Jjcoste2 (talk) 18:45, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
After some research I opted for the longer path ... submitted for review
Thanks again Jjcoste2 (talk) 01:06, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

user-generated content site

Hi Theroadislong,

Concerning draft Frank B Homes (now changed to Frank Baker Holmes?)

1. Can a user-generated content site be used as a source if there is no other source available?

2. Can a user-generated content site be used as an external link if there is no other source available?

Thank you Jjcoste2 (talk) 14:18, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Ian Medina

Hi there -

I noticed you denied my client’s page. I’m a Wikipedia writer for GhostWiki, LLC in Orlando, Florida. I would really appreciate it if you approved this Wikipedia page because I guaranteed to my client that he would get his Wikipedia page. Ian is super notable and prominent in society. He has a lot of success and deserves this Wikipedia page. Please accept it!

Best,

GhostWiki, LLC Stellacorrales (talk) 08:12, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

He is NOT notable unless he is elected and it is disruptive to keep re-submitting multiple drafts without disclosing your paid status. Theroadislong (talk) 08:19, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
Aww c’mon, please be nice and cut me some slack. You have plenty of politicians that haven’t been elected yet that are notable, like Jessica Cisneros for example. She’s an attorney that ran for Congress and she lost. She has a Wikipedia. Stellacorrales (talk) 08:26, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
See other poor articles exist for that argument. Theroadislong (talk) 08:29, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
You bet haha I hope you’re editing it to approve it for me. If not, no worries. Take care! But we are WikiFam! :) Stellacorrales (talk) 08:40, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
If you want to propose Jessica Cisneros for deletion and argue she's not notable, you can. 331dot (talk) 08:41, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
That you promised your client something that you cannot deliver is not our problem. 331dot (talk) 08:21, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
and I have no idea who "GhostWiki, LLC" are, or what "WikiFam" is but there is no connection to Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 08:49, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
Lol true. Ok, then. I’ll figure it out :( have a good night Stellacorrales (talk) 08:54, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
@Theroadislong @331dot FYI this user re-submitted this draft while also removing the previous decline notices. I have declined it again as the sources is completely wrong and the tone is just an advert. Qcne (talk) 10:49, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Reg Draft:Suresh Selvarajan

Hey Theroadislong, I would like to request you to take another look at refs 2, 3, 8 and 10 on the draft. Those are the refs for Notability. Also mentioning here for easy lookup. [3] [4] [5] [6]. Thanks <3 Jeraxmoira (talk) 08:08, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

ref number 2 and 3 are interviews so contribute nothing to notability. Theroadislong (talk) 08:14, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for highlighting it. I just went through Notability again and you are right. I still feel it would pass point #3 and maybe #4 too, on WP:CREATIVE. Also, Is it possible to get a source analysis? Jeraxmoira (talk) 08:29, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Removing the unreliable sources tag

Hi Theroadislong - a kind editor helped me get back on the rails with links about user generated content for biographies. I have removed all the inappropriate sources and replaced them. Hopefully, this will be enough to have the tag removed. The editor suggested that I should not do it myself, but wait for another editor. Could you possibly take a look at my Frank Baker Holmes draft? Jjcoste2 (talk) 14:43, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

That will be removed if appropriate once the draft is accepted. Theroadislong (talk) 14:54, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
As it stands now does it meet the requirements? Jjcoste2 (talk) 15:08, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

And to HiAariv: this a what is called in Wikipedia jargon, a "biography a living person" - things like his nickname or where he grew up must not what you or me might know about him, they need to have been written about in "reliable sources".

Did you click and read? Please do. You just notability-tagged the page in question. Then couldn't limited it to that so did a bunch more including deleting one of my edits. How about a freaking conversation? --RudolfoMD (talk) 10:14, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
Yes I read the link, I moved the article to draft here Draft:Penn Foster Group because as it didn't have any evidence of notability, it was at risk of being deleted. I have not deleted any of your edits? Theroadislong (talk) 11:03, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
"Yes I read the link,"
I asked if you read what was linked to.
Penn Foster Group owns
RudolfoMD (talk) 11:44, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
The draft Draft:Penn Foster Group has three sources one is a press release the other is a primary source, and the Oregonian article doesn't mention the group, the topic may well be notable but you have NOT shown that in the draft. Theroadislong (talk) 12:05, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
What? First point true, but Wow. I've never seen such ... wow. My main point completely ignored. My question asked 3x...ignored.

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello Theroadislong,

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.

Maltese strongman articles

Hi, I write articles about well known Maltese strongmen who are famous in Malta, so far I have had 4 articles accepted but having a few problems with my current article which is the final one in the series. I cannot understand why it has not been accepted as it has far more references than my previous articles. I also have some magazine references which I can add and some articles from The Times Of Malta. What would you suggest to do to get my article published. Thank you for your help.

Request for draft(s) to be accepted

Draft:Chicago and North Western 7009

Reason: Afterall, if you accepted Southern Pacific 7457, then you should do it with the draft for Chicago and North Western 7009, along with another additional article here:

Draft:Grand Trunk Western 5632 (that article was created by the same person who created the Southern Pacific 7457 article)

I am also requesting that you can accept this draft here on Southern Pacific 7551 (Only when your ready for me to submit the draft on Southern Pacific 7551 for pending drafts) 203.219.245.156 (talk) 09:01, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Articles for creation: Songs Dedicated to Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II of Buganda

Greetings, I see you reviewed my draft called, Songs Dedicated to Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II of Buganda, you mentioned the reason for the decline as being Youtube not being a valid reference. But its not used as the reference, its the list of songs. The references can be found in the reference section of the draft. I am planning on doing another edit, but would like to know, whether youtube content cannot be used as part of the article. Thanks a lot. BatakaBU BatakaBU (talk) 22:43, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Article: Adel Mardini Declined

Hi Reviewer! Hope all is well. Thank you for your promptness in reviewing my draft: Adel Mardini. I thought I would have to wait 4 months or so haha. Just to clarify, the reason the article was declined is because the resources are NOT independent of the subject, correct? Therefore the subject Mr. Adel Mardini cannot be considered notable enough to be on Wiki. Jooyoorin (talk) 07:14, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Some of the sources are based on interviews which are not considered independent, others are just a passing mention. Theroadislong (talk) 07:24, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

I thank you for your suggestion. I believe that this passage highlights the enduring appeal and historical significance of these cities.

Mettekoe

Hi Theroadislong,

I recently created a draft article on Mettekoe, the Belgian processional giant. Could you please explain why this draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for an article ? The reason why I created an article about this giant is because it got selected to represent Belgium at the 2024 Art Biennale in Venice, which is one of the world's largest and most important art exhibitions. There are no English references at the moment but they will be added to the article as soon as they become available. Could you please take a look again? Thank you.

Nicole Havrda

Hi Theroadislong;

I was wondering if, after the changes you suggested/made, concerning the Nicol Havrda page, it was appropriate to submit it for review. Also, I am wondering about the COI tag. My only affiliation with the subject is that I became acquainted with her and her parents at the race track a couple of years ago, when she was karting. I put her in contact with some teams racing in F4 at the time. They reached out to me recently, knowing that I was involved in IT (nothing to do with Wikipedia), and they asked if I could do a Wikipedia entry for her. I told them I would give it a try. There's no real COI that I can see, and I'm definitely not being paid for it.

Regards,

Draft article about Medicover Fertility

Today I created an draft article about Medicover Fertility in India. The article is not meant to advertise or promote services, it just informs users that such an organization exists, and by virtue of its development we at Medicover thought it worthwhile to gather this information in one place, like Wikipedia. I would appreciate information on what I could do to get my article accepted. Thank you sincerely.

Nick Kyrgios entry. Paragraph Two.

Hi, I have tried to edit this entry by eliminating a very old opinion piece written for The New Yorker in 2015. It has been 'reverted' automatically via Rollback or Huggle without the reverter actually reading the piece. This is the extract: "Although Kyrgios has received praise for his perceived entertaining style of play, he is a controversial player whose matches have featured "epic displays of ranting, racquet-wrecking, and trash-talking". The opinion piece is called "NK, The Reluctant Rising Star". He is no longer 22 or a rising star. He is nearly 29 and his career is mostly over due to extensive sports injury. The first sentence (received praise for his perceived entertaining style of play) does not mention WHO has praised him (it was Roger Federer's coach saying Kyrgios was the most outstanding player to emerge since Federer himself) and 'perceived' indicated that Roger Federer's coach does not know what he is talking about. The 'epic displays of ranting' are a personal opinion of the writer who is not a tennis expert but is writing on behalf of a high society magazine that specialises in cartoon caricature. SO on many counts this entry gives a very poor impression of Wikipedia's ability to describe a player. You would be better to leave it out. Or to clarify who praised him, why, and indicate that he is no longer 22 but is an established and highly respected player on the tour. The 'epic rants and racquet smashes' apply to all players at a high level - they have been in evidence this entire year when Kyrgios has been absent - he is not exceptional. Would you please advise the reverter (Materials Scientist) that this section should be reviewed, replaced with a much more updated summary of Kyrgios's achievements, or eliminated. As it is, the sentence just looks ignorant and biased. A lot of the material further down is also supported only by online tabloids but I have given up trying to change them as they are reverted automatically now. This is a pity. SueoftheAntipodes (talk) 11:25, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

You need to gain consensus on the article talk page, not forum shop everyone, but content like "splits opinion like no other sportsman. Since he smashed his way to stardom in 2014 he has been making headlines for both his cocky brilliance and his bad behaviour" when in Wikipedia's voice is definitely not appropriate. Theroadislong (talk) 11:53, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
Yes I understand that now. All of those phrases are quotes from a number of opinion pieces written this year by established sports writers. I didn't make them up as I am not a writer or public speaker. The opinion piece writer in The New Yorker who wrote 'epic displays of ranting, racquet-wrecking and trash-talking' was also writing for dramatic effect and caricature in line with The New Yorker. I have tried to get some sort of reply from the article talk page but the only action I have got is from Material Scientist who reverts my changes through Rollback or Huggle without reading them. The talk page people say, 'I am not a Kyrgios lover but...' which indicates that they will not support any positive improvements. The old quotes which relate to his early development as a player are no longer relevant. So Wikipedia appears irrelevant and out of touch.SueoftheAntipodes (talk) 12:05, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

DRAFT_ PAchakuti Mesa Tradition

Thank you for your reply, but I still don't understand what is not neutral about the language I've used? The resources are all verifiable, third party, legitimate sources.

One example of totally inappropriate tone " It is a container of spirit, a soul-infused artifact of the material world, a living and dynamic pattern upon and with which practitioners can consciously do personal and planetary energy healing work" it is laughably non encyclopaedic. Theroadislong (talk) 18:21, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
