Thank you for your quick answers, I was just asking how I could solve the problem, so does that mean that the sources I quoted were too many on the article, so I'd have to reduce the links? mean ("an excessive number of citations")? Videke (talk) 17:45, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to kindly request a review of a draft I have created titled "Juiceslf - Nigerian Rapper, Singer, and Songwriter." I believe this draft meets the notability criteria and provides valuable information about this talented artist in the Nigerian music industry.

The draft highlights Juiceslf's background, career, notable releases, and his impact on the music scene. It also includes references to reliable sources that support the information presented.

I have put significant effort into crafting this draft and adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. I believe Juiceslf's story deserves to be shared with the larger online community, contributing to the diversity of musical profiles on the platform.

I kindly request that you review the draft at your earliest convenience and provide any feedback or guidance for improvement. I look forward to your expert assessment and assistance in bringing this article to Wikipedia's readership.

Thank you for your time and consideration. If you require any further information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,

I'm rather surprised that you have not responded to my reply from your last review stating that this draft does not adhere to some of Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. I was able to provide examples of similar articles of public figures and notable personalities that mimic exactly what was being portrayed about this individual and his philanthropic records that have made it on every Wikipedia page. We keep wondering why these other articles were accepted and met all criteria and this one hasn't. Every reference used and sources included came from his original archive that he granted permission to be used and links had been attached thus far. We are indeed out of options here and, for lack of better terms, frustrated with the entire process. We are not looking to profit in any way, shape or form from any of this. The main objective is to let the world know that there are people out there who may not be the Bill Gates, Warren Buffets, Elon Musks of this world but have given their time and life in service to so many and they do not ask anything back in return. Such individuals are worthy of recognition and praise and this platform can create a space and audience for them.

Thanks for your time and attention to this. Please let us know in due time what can be done to in this regard. Quoraji (talk) 23:32, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

I am sorry that you are disappointed in the Articles for Creation process. However, please bear in mind that Articles for Creation reviewers are volunteers. We pick submissions to review at random. Thus, it would be unfair for me to review or re-review a draft on request- it would be unfair to the other thousands of submissions.

Hey, you recently reviewed a new page and it seems based on the comments left it wasn’t thoroughly reviewed. The sources provided are legitimate and fully verifiable. “Greek Reporter” is one of the biggest news organisations for Greeks worldwide, as is “Proto Thema” and “Playboy GR”. Others you’d have to be familiar with Greek news networks. Those were articles written specifically & independently about this person and not passing mentions. Some references added by various users seem to be passing mentions however those should not negate the major verifiable ones. Thank you GP75S (talk) 05:53, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Hey thanks for the reply. That’s great.

The facebook page is an official verified University account and Playboy Greece is in Greek and print edition. The less reliable ones can just be removed. GP75S (talk) 15:01, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

New material studied confirm the realization of the drawing around 1517-1518, when Leoardo was in France. There is a lot of new material about this topic in italian language. The Royal Library calls it Self-Portrait. Carlo Pedretti has always described it as Self-Portrait. Wikipedia cannot exclude the most up-to-date studies on the drawings. We apologize for the sincerity, but the elimination of bibliographic updates published by important Italian institutions is misleading, partial and ignorant and very serious.

Concerning your proD of the article about Little Ukraine, what about redirecting the page to Yanina Studilina, the lead actress? Up to you, of course. Best, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 18:32, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

] 18:40, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. All right, no problem! When it's the lead role or that the only sources deal with a given actor/actress or when her/his filmography mentions it, I don't think it is that misleading. Anyway, I won't contest this ProD as I thought that, unless reviews were presented (with the alternative title (+The), who knows?), only that particular redirect might be OK. Best, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 18:49, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey Edward, I appreciate your clerking at RfD (it can always use more help), but I saw a few things that I would like to point out:

• relist
  }} template, or in addition to it, on why they did not consider the debate sufficient. Saying "Last try..." does not explain why the debate is not sufficient. If there are no new comments since a previous relist, that is a good sign that it is time for closure.
• Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 August 12#Talk:Zionism, race and genetics/Archive 2 is a premature close. RfD's should not be closed simply upon tagging due to the chance of being declined and in case anyone wants to discuss it further in the meantime. That being said, this one is pretty obvious and I plan to action it if someone else doesn't get around to it first.
• WP:RGUIDE
  , If a good-faith RfD nomination proposes to delete a redirect and has no discussion after at least 7 days, the default result is delete. I can see a case for giving this one a relist due to the fact that it's a redirect from merge so a closer may desire a bit of extra time for editors to look over the underlying content, but that should ideally be explained in a relist comment.

I hope this doesn't sound too nitpicky because none of these are really that big of a deal. I just thought it would be helpful to keep some things in mind when deciding what to do with a discussion. Thanks again for your participation in RfD and hope to continue to see you around! -- Tavix ^(talk) 22:27, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

I think you misinterpreted my FFD as a deletion request and hence closed it prematurely as keep. Neither keep nor delete were possible results given my rationale. A possible result would've been "Keep in article A, remove from article B, C and D". Is it possible to undo a close or do I just make a new FFD? You were not the only one who misinterpreted it so I don't blame you for it, I apparently should have worded my rationale more clearly. Jonteemil (talk) 13:38, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Ah, I see (the "keep" !vote confused me as well). I'm happy to withdraw my closure, but I don't know if that's allowed. However, since it seems that withdrawing the close would be the clear action to take, I'll invoke IAR and just go ahead.

Hello. I agree in every way to what you are saying with your open letter to the Wikimedia foundation. But that rather critical reference to 2018 made me think of something. And I looked it up again as memory might be playing games with me. But no, there was no section where people could critique and disagree with the letter’s message and implications. While it might seem good to have such a section, the ones who are opposed to the message can easily express themselves somewhere else then on the message itself. That is why I am suggesting you to remove that section completely, as it doesn’t give a new opinion on the debate and only makes it so that the discussion is leaning toward the opposite side. There is more then enough support for the funds (on another note that also means way less support for this then in 2018, where the debated subject had much more people willing to sign). It still remains your decision, obviously, so make of it what you will. But in my opinion the fact that this section exists will even more diminish the number of signatures.

A message from Jenncourtney

Hi Edward-Woodrow,

I'm a bit confused with your reason for declining the draft: Patrick O'Neil (author). You stated, "Needs more references for verification and WP:BLPSOURCE: all material likely to be challenged needs an inline citation." Yet with four of the five "citation needed" areas; a citation of proof of a degree, a citation for proof of teaching position, I checked other wikipedia listing of authors, and they were not required to include citations for the same references.

Examples:

Tod Goldberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tod_Goldberg

Ivy Pochoda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_Pochoda

Leonard Chang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Chang

I'm wondering why this is needed for this listing.

The 5th citation request for this entry: "He stopped working with Dead Kennedys after their last show with the lineup of Jello Biafra, East Bay Ray, Klaus Flouride, and D.H. Peligro, at U.C. Davis in 1986.[citation needed]" What exactly are you requiring needs a citation?

Helping out with RMs

If you would like you can already

close RMs and then file RM/TRs with "Perform requested move, see talk page" whenever you cannot implement a "moved" outcome. (Twinkle helps with filing RM/TRs by selecting TW > XFD > RM > Uncontroversial. Or it's even easier with User:TheTVExpert/rmCloser

.) I'm personally happy to help with fulfilling those, since I also did that. You don't have to wait until you have page-mover permission.

For the most part, the only RMs that aren't closed pretty quickly after

elapsing

are the ones that don't have a clear consensus, since in those instances the closer should be particularly experienced (or, some would say, an admin), and they are more difficult to determine. Similarly, the RM/TRs that wait around for a while are often ones that ought to be contested, require more checking, or don't have a good reason for the move.

You can also already go to

WP:ROUNDROBIN, it's harder to revert (i.e., users who want to later revert it have to figure out how to request an RM/TR), so it helps to scrutinize them well. That can be more complicated than closing simple RMs, since with RMs people will have likely pointed out any relevant guidelines. SilverLocust 💬

Thankyou for closing Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 September 5#Desperate (song) but as I mentioned due to Desperate (song) having substantial history and Desperate (Fireflight song) not having the edit history of "Desperate (song)" should probably be moved to "Desperate (Fireflight song)" and then "Desperate (song)" redirected to the DAB, thanks. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:41, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Which, if I understand this maze of moves correctly, would require a page mover, which I am not.

Failure in the intelligence cycle

The article should not be moved as the topic 'intelligence failure' should have it's own, independent article Smahwk (talk) 09:36, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

It appears to me that "Failure in the intelligence cycle" is a specific subtopic of "Intelligence failure". Consensus seemed in favour of the move.

talk

The article is about faults which can take place at any step of the Intelligence cycle , while intelligence failure is a general term.Both of them should be different articles.Only 1 user was in favor of the move

Smahwk (talk) 12:02, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

It seems to me that we shouldn't have a serparate article where both of these topics can be adequately covered at

You absolutely didn't do any judgement based on a few seconds of speculation over the article. I'm a former NPP reviewer myself, make sure to go through the proper guidelines.

Always give editors time to edit. I'm not editing on Wikipedia since yesterday, It's been over a year and I've contributed to near 100 articles. You could had atleast wait a couple mins before taking action. You seem to be new to this, hence this is a no surprise to me at all. Rejoy²⁰⁰³(talk) 20:04, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

I do apologize for being hasty; but the promotional text remains a problem.

Best Cultural Institution Award

Hello, Edward-Woodrow,

You draftified this article TWO minutes after it was created while the article creator was still working on it. Please do not be so quick to draftify or tag for deletion a recently created article or one that is being actively improved. Put yourself in the position of the content creator and allow them some time to craft a good article, add references, smooth out the prose. Not every editor chooses to use Draft space and some work directly in the main space of the project. The general rule is to allow editors at least an hour to improve articles before taking action on a recently created article. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:53, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

The disruptive moves guy

Hi. Regarding your message here, [3], please note that the IP is the same sock-puppeteer doing the disruptive moves (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Anup Rajbanshi). He repeatedly creates new accounts, moves articles and redirects to random locations to hijack their content. Then logs out and changes redirect back. Seems to be a bizarre way to get circumvent being banned from creating new articles. -- Soman (talk) 22:40, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Hm, thanks for the info. I'll strike out my message, since it isn't another user taking it upon themselves to clean up after someone else (as I initially thought)

Taxobox task force

Hello, I was in the Taxobox task force page, about to join it, and then i saw you.

You have just (2 days ago??) joined it, and are the only other person to join in in 2023

Would you like me to help you revive it, or would you like to help me revive it?

>>> Webclouddat (talk) 05:37, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

another idea is to turn the task force into a WikiProject:Taxobox Webclouddat (talk) 05:54, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Well, what would reviving it entail?

talk

] 11:58, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Thats a good question, hmm

maybe:

• Making Adverts, putting them in accounts
• Going to the talk pages of people who have "I love taxoboxes"-like userboxes and asking them if they want to join
• Making separate pages for participants, To do list
• Generally fixing the page for the Task force
• I also think that turning it into a WikiProject will be better, it could then be part of WP TOL, or could be WP Biology

> I can get to making the list for participants and the to do list right now

>>> Webclouddat (talk) 15:02, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Actually, I will wait on what you think if it could be a WP before making any subpages Webclouddat (talk) 15:04, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure it needs "reviving" per se, as much as people occasionally updating the "to-do" list and doing some of the things on it. I mean, it's not like all the participants are retired (OK, #1 & #3, #4 are sporadically active, #2 hasn't edited since 2019, and so on, but

I personally would

>>> Webclouddat (talk) 15:44, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping, yes I certainly keep an eye on these issues, as a practicing taxonomist I think I should. Its also of interest to my work with the Global Species List Working Group in that as a group we are not only monotoring what people want in taxonomy and nomenclature but attempting to guide them somewhat so as taxonomists we are "on the same page" so to speak when it comes to nomenclature. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) ^talk 16:28, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm definitely not a praticing taxonomist, but I have the TemplateEditor bit, so I might be able to help with something technical.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  20:49, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
