Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Draft:Mehzeb Chowdhury, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

An article you recently created, Kazi Azim Uddin College, is not suitable as written to remain published. An article needs more information and citations from reliable, independent sources to remain in the mainspace. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline, has suitable content and thus is ready for mainspace, click the Submit the draft for review! button atop the article.

@Silikonz, hi i was in the process of creating it. It wasn't finished. please allow us at least one hour. thanks. X (talk) 18:01, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

If it's going to take more than a few minutes, then you shouldn't be working in main article space. You should instead work in draft or user space. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:23, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Forensic Magazine and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

@CNMall41, hi can you review my latest one? Thanks. Hopefully this one passes. X (talk) 12:01, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

I am not sure which one is your "latest" one but if you can provide a link I will take a look. --CNMall41 (talk) 03:40, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

@CNMall41, here you go: Draft:Mufassil Islam.

PS: I've had a discussion on the subject with another reviewer, and they asserted their evaluation of the page, and stated that the notability of the subject is affirmative. (User talk:TheAafi - Wikipedia)

I hope you'd be kind enough to review the page. Thanks in advance. X (talk) 06:29, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

That draft is not submitted for review. Please submit if you wish to have me take a look. Also, if another reviewer already asserted notability, why would there be the need for me to look at it?--CNMall41 (talk) 09:48, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

@CNMall41, hi thanks for your response. "That draft is not submitted for review. Please submit if you wish to have me take a look". I'm confused, the draft is submitted for AFC review. if another reviewer already asserted notability, why would there be the need for me to look at it. Actually, that reviewer gave their evaluation on the page. And unfortunately, they refused to accept the submission despite it being suitable for main space in their evaluation, because the page is out of their interest, and they don't move drafts to mainspace that don't interest them.

But hopefully you'd be kind enough to review the page. Thanks in advance.

Best. X (talk) 18:18, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

You are correct. It is submitted for review. I apologize for the comment. I will pass on reviewing for a number of reasons but it is in queue so someone should be around to review it shortly. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:13, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Unfortunately you cannot undo a ping. At this point, I would definitely be unwilling. --CNMall41 (talk) 08:13, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

@CNMall41, Sighs. Never mind. Wish you well. X (talk) 08:26, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Xkalponik! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DGG was:

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 (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

politicians must hold an elective office.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Haji Saifuddin Ahmed Milon and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

DGG ( talk ) 23:07, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

@DGG,

• WP:POLITICIAN

states that "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline. Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage are notable". The draft's subject is a major politician, he's a presidium member of the main opposition and one of the biggest political parties of the nation. He's been subject to numerous press coverage throughout his career. Would you reconsider this? Thanks. X (talk) 06:20, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Given the sensitivity of this restoration, let's put it to review first, please. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:55, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

@UtherSRG, sure. Mobasshir Rahman (talk) 16:56, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

So, I've had discussions with 3 reviewers on the page. One of them is an admin (User:Cullen328). And they advised me to move it to main space, and a new page patroller will review it. And an AFC reviewer evaluated the page and were affirmative on the subject's notability. You may see the discussion here: Wikipedia:Teahouse.

The page has received evaluation, and also as advised from another admin, I'm moving it to main space, and then a new page patroller will review it.

Best. X (talk) 09:05, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

@UtherSRG, Hi as you're previously familiar with me and an admin, so I'll seek for your help on this. So, this user (@আফতাবুজ্জামান), has been arbitrarily tagging my pages stating that I have some sort of close connection to the subjects.

I've replied to them on their talk page as well and will also state here: I do not have any sort of connection with any of the subjects whatsoever. I've created article on Mufassil Islam, as it fell under my radar, and I discussed with admins before creating it. Please see these discussions, links are given in the Talk:Mufassil Islam - Wikipedia. I noticed Minhaj Chowdhury on the list of awarded people by the U.S. Secretary of State, while creating an article on Muhammad Nur Khan, noticed him from this source. I also do not have any connection with Mehzeb Chowdhury either but noticed him on media.

I'm requesting for a solution here over this dispute, and getting those tags removed as they are untrue. Thanks. X (talk) 08:00, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:Organized Crime in Bangladesh indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz ^{Read!

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. A.Musketeer (talk) 22:27, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Delwar Hossain Sayeedi. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. LucrativeOffer (talk) 14:31, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey, read the edit summaries. I did not remove any sourced content per se, but these sources did not verify the claims. Just because there are a lot of links aligned, do not make the claims verified automatically, I invite you to check them yourself, which I did, and found the sources did not verify the claims. Then I partially removed those and rewrote some of those claims in other sections, that reflected objectivity. Please do not start an edit war. I'm a more experienced user than you. If you have complaints or would like to discuss or want me to further explain my actions, please say so. Thanks. X (talk) 14:39, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

If you have concerns, raise it in the talk page and reach a consensus. I don't see any valid reasons in your edit summaries to remove all those sourced contents which is why they have been restored. I have checked the sources and they look fine. If you really are experienced, I assume you are aware of the WP:BRD and WP:DE policies. What I'm seeing is you are trying to claim ownership of the article by reverting all the other editors which is quite disruptive. LucrativeOffer (talk) 15:00, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Yes I'm aware of those policies. I'm not trying to claim the page. And I have not reverted edits by all other users. Re-check the edit history, you'd notice there have been constructive edits by several users, which I did not revert, even I brought back constructive edits by other users myself, again, because they were "constructive." This is a fact, that you seemed to have altered, and I put your assertions and accuracy into question. I explicitly said, I did not remove those entirely, but I rewrote those in the latter sections in an objective manner. I even added new sources along with new lines that describe the claims better. And I removed and rewrote factual error claims. Those were comments by his supporters, and sources reported that saying, X and Y commented/opinionated "this and that." These do not constitute facts, but comments, which can be added in the controversy/reaction section. X (talk) 15:06, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Xkalponik! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Delwar Hossain Sayeedi several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. SpaceExplorer12 (talk) 15:29, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Delwar Hossain Sayeedi shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. LucrativeOffer (talk) 15:44, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Georgiana, Lady De Tabley, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Portrait Gallery. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Mohammad Nur Khan. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Nur Khan Liton. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Nur Khan Liton. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 14:36, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

@Vinegarymass911, aah snap! Wasted efforts. Sighs. Although nice to see a more comprehensive version exist. By the way, shouldn't there be a redirect now? X (talk) 14:41, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Indeed. Since a redirect is viable, speedy deletion is not appropriate. I've gone ahead and made it a redir. Cheers! - UtherSRG (talk) 15:32, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

I had a look at Ramzan Miah as requested. I have made a few minor changes, but overall it looks OK. However, you must provide a reliable source for his date of birth, or remove that info. Regards, WWGB (talk) 04:54, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Dirinaria confluens requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://lichenportal.org/portal/taxa/index.php?tid=55033&taxauthid=1&clid=201. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Thanks for your contributions to Cristine Roux. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back.PoisonHK _{Sapiens dominabitur astris} (talk • contribs) 08:33, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

@PoisonHK, Hold on for at least 30 mins. I'm an experienced editor and I directly create articles to mainspace, it hadn't even been 5 minutes. I was in the process of finishing it. It appears you're not a New Page Reviewer, hence you lack the knowledge regarding it. Next time, do not immediately move pages to mainspace, check the time, and how long it has been.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

You can't just copy-paste the text from another source and change a few words; source material need to be substantially rewritten. Check out WP:Close paraphrasing for more info and guidelines. Esculenta (talk) 14:32, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

@Esculenta, The article is substantially rewritten IMO and I did not just copy-paste. When dealing with nomenclature articles, one can only rewrite too much, in lieu of mentioning/stating the facts and data. I can't just assert Original Research for the sake of uniqueness. The article drastically differs from the sources with headings, formats, etc, (I used multiple sources, and the facts are the same so it'd appear closely paraphrased to one or more particular sources). X (talk) 14:46, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Or rather, you gave the appearance of using multiple sources, when those sources weren't actually used. To wit: in the Dirinaria confusa article, the source Gasparyan et al. (doi:10.1017/S0024282917000226) is used as a "source" twice in the article. I checked this source, it does not even name the titled species anywhere in the article. So I suppose that example is more "citation fraud" then copyvio. Esculenta (talk) 15:02, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

@Esculenta, The source you mentioned, is the original source of the description. It is listed as the parent source in https://lichenportal.org/portal/taxa/index.php?tid=55034&taxauthid=1&clid=201 . Care to check, it lists: Nash, T.H., Ryan, B.D., Gries, C., Bungartz, F., (eds.) 2004. Lichen Flora of the Greater Sonoran Desert Region. Vol 2. and links the https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/lichenologist/article/abs/ramalina-europaea-and-r-labiosorediata-two-new-species-of-the-r-pollinaria-group-ascomycota-ramalinaceae-and-new-typifications-for-lichen-pollinarius-and-l-squarrosus/443C47B81BCEBE5C7B06F2257B561CC7 . So I use it as well since it is the parent source.
So be more careful before accusing someone of copy vio then of citation fraud. And another example of multiple citations is https://explorer.natureserve.org/Taxon/ELEMENT_GLOBAL.2.123051/Dirinaria_confusa . I used a handful of data from the as well.
And if I don't use the parent source, then how come I include facts? The mentioned parent source contains the original description of that particular species. What better source do you have to write on it? And where it is prohibited that you can't use majority of the facts from one source? X (talk) 15:12, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

No the source of the description you included from the webpage is Lichen Flora of the Greater Sonoran Desert Region; the source I mentioned has nothing to do with this species. You have claimed to use this source for the article, when it doesn't even mention the species in question (= citation fraud). Your final question is a non-sequitur, as I did not claim that the majority of the facts cannot come from one source. The fact that the Consortium of Lichen Herbaria website mistakenly links to a non-relevant publication suggests that WP:Competence is required for editing. Esculenta (talk) 15:17, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

@Esculenta Consortium of Lichen Herbaria is generally considered a reliable source so I did not suspect they'd have linked to unrelated citations. I copied and pasted it and it auto-links to that Cambridge source.

You're appreciated for pointing that out. But first, you accuse of copyvio, then drift to "citation fraud".

We both are trying to do build and contribute to the encyclopedia. The pointed issue is a human error and calling me citation "fraud" is unwarranted and offensive.

Anyway, I'll now remove that source from this article along with 1-2 others I've used in. Take care. X (talk) 15:46, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

sure give me 20 minutes. X (talk) 14:52, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

@Dcotos, The article is now substantially rewritten. My bad, I should have processed it in a word processor beforehand directly publishing in Wiki. I was intending to rewrite and expand in real time, hence put a "being created" tag on it.

But I understand there seemed to be some copyvio from a particular source. It's just when dealing with nomenclature items, there's not much room for "totally rephrasing", as facts tend to be the same in all the sources.

I'd be more careful from now and will process offline before putting directly into wiki.
If you feel a revision deletion is needed, please do so.

Thank you for your help in the article as well. X (talk) 15:13, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi,@Xkalponik you did nice work! but next time do't copy paste any content As a general rule, do not copy text from other sources. Doing so usually constitutes both a copyright violation and plagiarism as per WP:Copy-paste. Thank you Dcotos (talk) 15:19, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Thelomma ocellatum. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. Dcotos (talk) 15:12, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

@MPRabbity, You've headed in the right direction, by making those adjustments. However, the lead needs a rewrite. Please move out the quotes and supportive sentence to a latter section, you could create a sub-section such as Reception under Implemention. There you could insert those quotes supporting, as well as criticising the topic. X (talk) 20:57, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

@MPRabbity, Moreover, although quotes are often helpful, but this article seems to be full of them. Trim down the direct quote unquote and rather try to paraphrase in your own words and portray people's opinions. Not all quotes should be trimmed down tho, but currently there's too many.

I submitted the page Draft:American Ringtail as an article candidate and you rejected it because of a WP:GNG issue, you said after I fixed it I can resubmit it, which I have done. Let me know if any more issues with the article arise and I can fix those too. (PS: Sorry that the Cat mother died, I hope she rests in peace!) Thanks, GalaxyCat1 (talk) 16:35, 19 April 2024 (CDT)

@WPGalaxyCat1, Thank you for your condolences. I've seen your edits to the draft right after you had made them. But usually, I do not re-review a draft I've declined before, hence I've left it for others to review. Still, I'd have reviewed it again, but unfortunately, I'm still doubtful of the draft's sourcing. The blog you added appears to be an unreliable source. And I made some little adjustments to the writing during my first review, but it still needs some rewriting. The behavior section especially, doesn't quite read like a formal encyclopedia-toned statement. For example, it incorporates the use of latex words such as "probably", this type of tone is not great here, it gives a notion that this statement might be dubious. You could also rewrite the earlier lines from that section, such as They have some habits that may be remnants of their genes, maybe even dating back to Solomon, these habits include hiding their food and once they have finished eating, they will sometimes attempt to bury their food. Instead like this They manifest certain behavioral patterns that are speculated to be evolutionary remnants, potentially tracing back to antiquity, including the tendency to conceal their food and engage in postprandial attempts at burying it. X (talk) 21:51, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

@X, Okay, Thank you, I will either try to fix that or with auto-confirmed access transfer the page over as an article in mainspace (I will fix the behaviour section first). Would that be okay or is that not something I am supposed to do, it would be helpful to have it in mainspace as it would be more open for standard editing which would be helpful. - GalaxyCat1 (talk) 16:59, 19 April 2024 (CDT)

@WPGalaxyCat1, I'd advise you against it. Being in the draft space allows for the betterment of the content, with feedback from reviewers such as myself, potentially making it suitable for mainspace. Although you may technically be able to move it to mainspace yourself, that does not mean you should practice that. It is strongly discouraged, as it'd risk your article being deleted rapidly (I can also see that it was already deleted once). Instead of going that path, I'd suggest you reach for help from experienced editors at the Tea House. Also, you may consider following the suggestions I gave. The friendly editors at the Tea House will also help you out. Regards. X (talk) 22:07, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

@X Okay, Will do. Thanks! - GalaxyCat1 (talk) 17:11, 19 April 2024 (CDT)

Why would you say the article doesn't show significant coverage? He is a leading shareholder in a huge company, with coverage in all main financial websites Both in Israel and The US @Xkalponik עומר תשבי (talk) 10:47, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

@עומר תשבי, Significant coverage means that this person has been talked about a lot in trustworthy places like newspapers, books, magazines, or academic journals. It's like saying, "Hey, this is really important or interesting, and here's why!" If all you find are short mentions or things that sound more like advertisements or press releases, it's not enough. Wikipedia wants solid, independent sources that really dive into the topic, showing that it's notable and worth talking about. The draft Shalom Meckenzie, although seems to have references that are considered major publications, but the type of coverage ranges from Press Releases (which is not reliable/independent), and the rest are passing mentions about him (doesn't solely focus on him).

If you disagree with my decision, you may resubmit it and another reviewer will review it. Reagrds. X (talk) 10:55, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Xkalponik. Thank you for reviewing the draft I created. I would like to know the motives for the decline of the draft. Iker Unzu is a well-known Spanish internet creator and one of the most followed and recognized internet celebrities in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries. Unzu has many articles from trustworthy and notable media, like Heraldo de Aragón and Flooxer, owned by Atresmedia. Heraldo de Aragón posted an article today (https://www.heraldo.es/noticias/ocio-y-cultura/2024/04/22/iker-unzu-zaragoza-serie-original-instagram-espana-1728261.amp.html), that talks about Unzu in deep, his collaboration with Meta & Instagram and his current life/work in Los Angeles, California. Iker Unzu is the first ever creator to create a series in partnership with Instagram, an essential event for the platform. As the series started last week, various articles are being written about it. Unzu has also made multiple appearances on Spanish TV. His book is being released on May 22nd; even more articles will be written when it comes out. I would like to know the issue with the draft because there are plenty of reliable sources that show Unzu’s notability. What changes should be made before it can be accepted? Elisa Polea (talk) 21:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

@Elisa Polea, At the time of my review, the new source you mentioned wasn't there for obvious reason. This one seems a good one. But one would not cut it. Try to add at least two more such sources that are independent (not interviews, which are primary sources), objective (don't solely promote the subject and read like an advertisement), reliable (has to be from a major publication that is considered reliable), and discusses the subject in depth, not just passing or brief mention. The source you mentioned here seems to match these. But at least two more such sources are required, which I did not find in the draft at the time of the decline. Regards.

Hi Xoak, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede66 20:10, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Xoak, Hope your doing well. Thanks for the guidance in Prathinidhi 2. Can you please check this page Draft:Primeshow Entertainment. Thankyou. RadisonRathod (talk) 18:48, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

@RadisonRathod, I did, and unfortunately it doesn't appear notable yet. It may become notable once more films come under its banner and the studio itself gets more in-depth coverage. X (talk) 20:45, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

I've searched the company's history on Google, and I found two more films produced by the company. However, the articles about these films only passing comments. Can you guide me on this please. RadisonRathod (talk) 03:37, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

@RadisonRathod, We need coverage of the film studio itself. Articles that mainly focus on the films and mentions the production house name in a few or single sentence, would not constitute proper significant coverage. Try to find coverage that mostly focus on the studio itself, their works, activities, background/history, management etc.

Not all coverages need to be in-depth. Brief mentions are fine as long as they're used for verifying certain elements or information, however, they do not contribute to establishing notability. X (talk) 13:15, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

@Ponyo, the creator (User:Adsville) of this draft, could very well be a sock/meat or of a paid ring. I don't see any other reasons why'd that user, now blocked, seemed so dedicated to get someone else's draft getting approved. Pinging you here just in case, as you recently dealt with them.

Could be, but that account was abandoned in 2023.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:16, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

@Ponyo, I take it as that stale accounts are usually not blocked then? (largely unfamiliar with these sides of wiki). X (talk) 21:20, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

It's sort of at the discretion of the CU or admin. There are so many active socking cases, it really isn't worth the time to investigate old abandoned accounts. If they come back, however, then it will be looked at more closely.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:48, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Xoak, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! Hey man im josh (talk) 19:48, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Xoak. Thank you for your notes on my Net Zero Conference article. I saw in a previous post that your don't review articles again, but I just wanted to get your advice on (1) any more edits you would suggest and (2) how to get articles reviewed more quickly? I think it's been about 40 days for this article and I have another article (Draft: Wawa Gatheru) that is even older and hasn't been reviewed at all. Is it just a waiting game? Thank you! Jonasstaff (talk) 17:40, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

@Jonasstaff Hi as you can see from the top of my talk page I'm currently taking a wiki break due to exams, so I can't help, unfortunately. Re waiting game, yes. Some drafts get reviewed within days and some take months. I'd suggest you to post for help here. You can also post on Teahouse.

Hi @Xoak,

I don't know how busy you may be, but Incase you're free, you may want to help, mostly with your knowledge and research for this draft Draft:Adam Thorn (biologist) (I really don't have time, I may have one thing or the other pop out) . The editor seem not to understand yet. Thanks with any help you can offer. Cheers! Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 20:39, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

@SafariScribe, Hi, sorry for the delay as I'm quite tied up. I do remember the draft, and at that time it was evident to me that the subject is notable. However, the draft needs some touch-ups (especially with NPOV and removal of deprecating sources). I'd have amended the page myself if I could, but I'm in the midst of my final year exam, so I'd look into it after it's finished. The creator (or AFC submitter) seems to be stale rn, so there's no issue there as well. Regards. X (talk) 16:19, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
