Question from ArgyleAndy73 (20:00, 5 January 2026)
Could you help me with a page move as the title no longer makes sense following a DoB updation --ArgyleAndy73 (talk) 20:00, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, can I ask what page you’re talking about, where you want to move it to and why? Rambley (talk / contribs) 20:23, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, its an edit to a DoB for a historic UK soccer player who's page his here:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Butler_(footballer,_born_1885)
- His DoB is actually some time before in 1877. I have corrected the article and made some other small data changes to the page but it makes no sense for the URL to end _born_1885 when he was actually born in 1877.
- As far as I understand it, I can't edit the basic information that creates that page header / URL and would need to move the page to a new one like:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Butler_(footballer,_born_1877)
- Is that so? ArgyleAndy73 (talk) 01:11, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
- Can you provide a source for the DoB change? Cheers. Rambley (talk / contribs) 09:12, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hi yes, its on the ENFA (English National Football Archive) website but that's paid subscription only https://www.enfa.co.uk/ but I can send you a screen shot if that helps? Thought there doesn't appear to be a way of attaching here? ArgyleAndy73 (talk) 16:22, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, is there any movement on this? Its still showing with the wrong YoB page reference now?
- I have tried doing it myself but don't seem able to. The page reference should contain 1877.
- See also here as a source - https://greensonscreen.co.uk/gosdb-players2.asp?pid=131 ArgyleAndy73 (talk) 12:23, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, please cite the reliable sources in the article when making any changes, especially in a biography. Additionally, if you are going to move a page, move both the article and the talk page; not just one or the other. Rambley[who?] 12:33, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hi Rambley
- I've updated the #2 source now to reflect the change in YoB.
- Have you moved the associated talk page or do I still need to?
- Could you possibly give me an brief over view of the differences between a talk page and an article and how to move both, so I know for the future, or direct me to somewhere where i can read or learn about it?
- Many thanks

Request on 13:20:18, 22 January 2026 for assistance on AfC submission by Ftg3plus4
Regarding my rejected submission "Live at the Greek Theatre 1982":
The rejection reason is "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject."
I'm not clear on what sort of coverage is needed to make the subject qualify. I'd think that the AllMusic review alone would meet that condition, and it is one of two articles referenced. That doesn't seem to me to be any less coverage than many album-related articles have.
Can you give a couple examples from other album-related articles of what is needed, and which would be similar to what's in the bulk of other album-related articles? Ftg3plus4 (talk) 13:20, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- Multiple reliable secondary sources are required to establish notability; we often look for three or more. Discogs is not a reliable source & the DVD source is a primary or self-published source. More articles discussing the album are needed in order to show it is notable. If you'd like some examples of articles that surpass that notability requirement, take a look at Quaristice, Exai or Forever Howlong; all of which I worked on. While drafts are not expected to have the huge amounts of sources these articles, it should give you a good idea of the type of sources we expect for album-related articles. Rambley (talk / contribs) 13:42, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- Can you point out a few specific sources/citations in those articles that would be good examples of what you'd say my article is missing? Or does it just need a couple more sources on the level of, say, the AllMusic review? BTW, the Discogs & DVD sources are just there to support some specific details, not to "establish notability." But I'll skip citing them if that would be an improvement.Ftg3plus4 (talk) 15:33, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- The Discogs source should be removed entirely, it is not reliable. The articles I've linked all have news coverage about their announcement, their release, information about singles and many reviews from a variety of reliable sources, all of which establishes they are notable. You need to add more reliable, secondary sources that cover the topic in significant depth. Rambley (talk / contribs) 22:46, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- OK, I have added more sources to the article and no longer reference Discogs or the DVD itself. I also removed references to the Japan 2CD as I couldn't find a source for it other than Discogs. Overall the article should be much improved now. Thanks for your input. Ftg3plus4 (talk) 13:23, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Question from Recondo85 (20:25, 29 January 2026)
Hello! I was trying to edit the Spanish Cobras page but it is locked. I contributed to the page years ago by adding to the “further reading” section, the “territory” and the introduction, but people have edited it and added incorrect founding dates and history. Can you help me edit it please and show me how to use the proper references so this doesn’t happen again? --Recondo85 (talk) 20:25, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, the page in question is only semi-protected. Those with accounts older than 4 days and more than 10 edits can edit the page. If you make some useful edits to other articles, you should be able to edit the page in question yourself. Rambley[who?] 20:33, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks! Can I contact you in case I need help with the references? Recondo85 (talk) 20:46, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- You are free to leave messages on my talk page if you need help with referencing, yes. Help:Referencing for beginners should help. Rambley[who?] 20:47, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Question from David.Polakovic (12:02, 31 January 2026)
Hello, I made my account not only to help this awesome project that Wikipedia sure is, but also to find answer to one thing. Some time between May of 2021 and November 2023 I read the wiki article about text adventure game named Zork. There was and still is a sentence saying that the name Zork was derived from MIT jargon for unfinished program. The source for the article today is New Zork Times, The - Vol. IV No. 1 page 7 where truly this information is confirmed by games' creator in interview. However, in the time interval I was reading it, I ended up on source Down From the Top of Its Game: The Story of Infocom, Inc. by Hector Briceno, Wesley Chao and others, which does not have this information at all. I checked the edits from that time but I haven't found any mention of this source. My questions: -Can the edit history be manipulated? Some edits just deleted? -Maybe I missed something. Is there any other way how to check the edits except for manually checking each entry? --David.Polakovic (talk) 12:02, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Question from Feilxpo29 (00:54, 6 February 2026)
Hello, I just finished an article and have submitted it for review. Do you have access to it and if so what comments can you make? --Feilxpo29 (talk) 00:54, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
- Do you have any relation to Draft:Alex Pudmann? Both your draft and the linked draft feature the same subject and the latter was created by the article's subject themselves. In any case, it is best to work on the one draft rather than creating and submitting multiple versions. Rambley[who?] 01:06, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
- Hello, Rembly, I did both of these drafts that you are talking about. I'm not related to Alex Pudmann in any way. I feel that he should have a Wikipedia page, as he is rising star in the classical music world. The last draft that you saw is the updated and final version. ~2026-81100-0 (talk) 01:25, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
- Please make sure you're signed in whenever making edits. In any case, you should just be editing the main draft for Pudmann and resubmit it when you're ready. Rambley[who?] 09:12, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
- Hello, Rambley. I wonder what is the status of the Alex Pudmann draft? I submitted it a couple of weeks ago. Thanks Feilxpo29 (talk) 01:20, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
- The version at your sandbox (User:Feilxpo29/sandbox) has not been submitted. The other draft, Draft:Alex Pudmann, has been declined but not resubmitted. Rambley[who?] 01:23, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
- I clicked on Publish when I finished the draft in the sandbox. That version is the one I want submitted. Can you tell me what I have to do to submit it?
- Thanks Feilxpo29 (talk) 20:08, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
- See WP:AFCREVIEW, though it will likely be declined as a duplicate of the other draft about Pudmann. I would recommend you just edit that one as it's about the same subject. Rambley[who?] 20:10, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Hey is there any way for anyone to view the number of edits I made without me editing the no of edits I made everytime
Good morning Rambley. In the wikipedian infobox there is a thing to view current time of the user using the refresh button. So I am wondering is there any way to do that with the number of edits
Thanks for your time mentor
:D Rupmoy (talk) 05:31, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
- The best solution is to enable XTools in your preferences, which will show the creator of pages under the titles with their edit count. You can then just check your user page and you'll see the edit count. There is no userbox for this though, I'm afraid. Rambley[who?] 09:11, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
The Wilted EP
Hello, @Rambley. I noticed that you added a "sources exist" tag to the Wilted EP article, and I am contacting you because I am having difficulty finding such sources. I searched for major charts and reviews, but I could only find niche secondary sources, namely POWERMETAL.de, Swiss Metal Magazine, and rocknloadmag. I would appreciate your feedback on the quality of the sources cited and any material you may have found. Thank you in advance. Jvbpds (talk) 20:28, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
- , , . There exists a review from Metal Hammer as well, though it is print only. could also be of some use. Rambley[who?] 20:41, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you very much! I took notes on all the sources and even found the online version of Metal Hammer magazine that you mentioned (issue 410) and have already purchased it. I also intend to use it as the basis for the "critical reception" section that I will be creating. Regarding the references I cited, do you think it would be worthwhile to add any of them? Thank you for your help! Jvbpds (talk) 00:11, 9 February 2026 (UTC)
- All of the sources you've cited in the article currently are considered reliable (which is good!) and are fine for the purposes of writing about the album's release history and etc, though press releases and announcements don't help towards notability (WP:PRSOURCE); reviews do. In regards to the other sources you mentioned in your first message, I had a look and none of them have clear editorial policies or lists of writers. While they may be okay for the occasional fact if you can't back a claim up with any other source, I would still avoid them if you can.
- In addition, check out WP:RSMUSIC; it hosts a huge list of music-related sources that are considered reliable and unreliable by the community. Very helpful for writing future music-related articles. Rambley[who?] 00:24, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Even Days Dissolve
Hi Rambley,
Hope you're well. You declined my submission for this page in December. You were right to do so as I had not provided nearly enough sources for the article, nor had I linked the notable collaborators on the project or its nomination for Scottish Album of the Year. I have now rewritten the submission with inclusion of all of these things. I'd like to thank you for your guidance which forced me to improve the article substantially from what it was. This was only the third or fourth article I had attempted - so I had not learned enough to know what even a basic-standard article should be like. I would very much appreciate you having a look now and letting me know if this is to a good enough (learning) standard.
Thank you for your help and all very best wishes,

Re: Elliott Baker Draft
Hello Rambley,
Thank you for reviewing my draft on Elliott Baker (Draft:Elliott Baker). I wanted to let you know I have addressed the notability concerns you raised and resubmitted the draft for review.
The primary change is the addition of a citation from *Variety* (July 28, 2023), in which staff writer Thania Garcia published a song-by-song breakdown of Travis Scott's *Utopia* and explicitly credits Elliott Baker as a songwriter on "Lost Forever." I believe this constitutes coverage in a reliable, independent, secondary source.
I have also corrected several reference URLs throughout the draft.
I appreciate your time and welcome any further feedback.
Thank you Crystal ghost (talk) 23:07, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
