User:Fishsicles/sandbox

Hi MicrobiologyMarcus, the draft User:Fishsicles/sandbox has been made made redundant by the publishing of the Sodium tetrapropylborate article and I want you to blank the entire sandbox and remove all the contents and corruption in it and make it an article and give it to Fishsicles. 2409:40F4:300E:27B2:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 11:34, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi,

I read your message on why you have rejected the article. Can we speak on why you thought that the subject is not noteworthy and how I can improve the article. Thank you very much for your time.

Hi @Sumansindhu, your draft wasn't rejected, it was declined. As such, you still have the option to make improvements and resubmit the article.

1. Have you read the declination reason given by myself or @DoubleGrazing? In both instances, the reasoning given said:

   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)

   or the second reasoning which said:

   This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed

2. Have you addressed any of the comments and feedback left by any of the reviewers at the top of the article, specifically as it relates to inline external links?
3. Have you addressed any of the maintenance tags that reviewers left in the article pointing out flaws in the draft article?

Lastly, DoubleGrazing has asked on your talk page that you affirmatively respond to a WP:Conflict of interest or WP:PAID concern regarding the subject of this draft. Please respond there and make any necessary declarations on your user page in accordance with our policies.

Thanks, microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 13:19, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, @MicrobiologyMarcus

1) I understand and improve on Inline Citation external links when making further changes to the draft.

2) I will make sure to keep the point of view as neutral as possible going further.

3) I am not paid or have any monetary expectation from the subject. I realized that the subject is noteworthy and that I could start my article writing journey with this. Sumansindhu (talk) 07:08, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Compare and contrast essay

Hello Marcus,

Suggestions noted. Can you just tell me what seemed like fluff to you so that I can remove it?

Thanks. DKas321 (talk) 09:35, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi @DKas321, in my opinion, everything south of "Writing & Organizational Techniques" is not encyclopedic. I wasn't going to delete it for you because you have references in there, but you need to ensure that you are citing to references that demonstrate the subject of your draft article (here, a specific type of essay) talk about the subject in depth and are secondary to any purpose the author or publisher of the work might have, such that it sufficiently demonstrates the subject of the article is notable, a requirement for any article on the project. Again, this is my opinion, but university instructional material on "how to write" a compare and contrast might not be sufficient in demonstrating WP:Notability, but I would concede other editors might differ on this opinion.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Cheers, microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 13:32, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Dear @MicrobiologyMarcus

Thank you so much for all your feedback on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ronalds_Gonzalez We would really appreciate if you can take a look at it now and check if now we comply with your recommendations. The recommendations were the following: Does not presently appear to meet WP:NPROF. Written in a promotional tone, not using objective and descriptive language. WP:Bare URLs require cleanup, see WP:REFB for more information. microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 19:45, 12 June 2024 (UTC) Marquezronald (talk) 16:11, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Marquezronald, who is "we"? microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 16:50, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi @microbiologyMarcus me and a friend from Venezuela Daniel Calderon (who studied with Ronalds Gonzalez), We believe that Ronalds Gonzalez is one of the Venezuelans that can be highlighted as one of the top researchers in biomaterials from our country. I am from Universidad de Los Andes, the same University where Ronalds Gonzalez graduated. Marquezronald (talk) 17:02, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Would you please answer to our previous question? "We would really appreciate if you can take a look at it now and check if now we comply with your recommendations." Marquezronald (talk) 17:03, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

@Marquezronald you and your friend need to both make your own unique account as this account is a violation of our WP:SHAREDACCOUNT policy. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 17:07, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

I am not sharing an account, after you asked for more information, I had to ask Daniel Calderon other details (who knows him), for example city of birth, etc. I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at my answer to your recommendations. "The recommendations were the following: Does not presently appear to meet WP:NPROF. Written in a promotional tone, not using objective and descriptive language. WP:Bare URLs require cleanup, see WP:REFB for more information." Marquezronald (talk) 17:11, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

@Marquezronald have you reviewed WP:NPROF and do you believe your draft article currently demonstrates that the subject satisfies one of the criteria? Second, do you have proper citations to previously published sources for the personal information you have given above. Personal knowledge is both WP:OR and, given the subject, a violation of our WP:BLP policy if you do not have proper WP:V for that information. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 18:15, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Sandboxes Submitted for Review

Some of them are worth reviewing, and some of them are not worth reviewing. Thanks for reviewing them. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:28, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: Very cryptic, but always happy to help. I definitely find reviewing good, quality articles more rewarding but sometimes you gotta go through the clean-up categories as well. I know I appreciated when someone cleaned up my first draft.

Cheers, microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 21:09, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

What happened is that you and User:KylieTastic and I had a race with the items for review in user space, and some of them were crud. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:43, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Stefan Pastine

Hi MicrobiologyMarcus, thanks for your work on Wikipedia.

I wrote the Stefan Pastine draft entry you reviewed and rejected today. I added several external citations (SBIR/NSF, MIT Technology Review, Simems Gamesa Report). I'm just wondering whether those aren't sufficient as credible outside sources and/or if you feel like there needs to be more of them?

Thanks again

SC Seamus Costello (talk) 18:24, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Seamus Costello, a small clarification: I didn't reject your draft, I declined it. As such, you are encouraged to make the necessary changes required for a mainspace article before resubmitting. At the top of the draft, the individualised instructions I left were "Inappropriate external links in text. See WP:REFB to understand how to convert these to inline citations." You'll notice that in the draft article, there are links that are not formatted as citations but external links. These will need to be corrected. Cheers, microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 18:28, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Appreciate that @MicrobiologyMarcus. Ill reformat those links.

Best

I just saw this article moved into mainspace. Regardless of its quality, it's an unattributed copy of the same article on the Ukrainian wiki run through Google Translate (though it is written by the same user), so it may need more than basic cleanup. Reconrabbit 16:40, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Reconrabbit, I've considerably WP:STUB-ified the article. It cited to a product listing and was mostly health benefits and other promotional content. I'm in the process of a WP:BEFORE to determine if the topic meets WP:N or if it should proceed to the next step... You aren't familiar with the topic at all, are you? Any opinion on its notability? microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 16:43, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

I am of the opinion that it is in the same boat as many food and drink topics - it may be independently notable, maybe in its native language, but good luck finding independent sources on its notability; all you will find are product listings. Maybe it deserves a spot on List of Chinese teas, where you will find other products with similar issues, e.g., Jin Jun Mei tea. Reconrabbit 16:48, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

@Reconrabbit: fair enough. Seems to be lots of product listings, nothing too encyclopedic in any BEFORE. Suppose the article is fine as is now without any of the frivolous claims and hopefully can be cleanup with the existing tags. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 16:51, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

@MicrobiologyMarcus thanks for checking. I was initially just confused at the move history, glad it was put in an acceptable state. Reconrabbit 16:56, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

In regards to the unattributed translation, I've left {{uw-translation}} on the author's talk page. Thanks for catching that! microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 16:46, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

I just noticed that it was the other way around - the article was just translated to the Ukrainian wikipedia today, and their userpage there already has {{Uw-translation}} from January. Reconrabbit 16:49, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

About that duplicate of Abu Al-hayja

I accidentally made two pages about it, please if you can delete the first one and only review this one. Jackhanma69 (talk) 20:03, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

@Jackhanma69, not a problem. Given that the page is now in the correct location and the old page has been corrected, I have removed the declination from the AfC history and done some minor copy editing to the draft while it awaits further review. Cheers, microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 20:09, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

thanks for your cooperation and assistance :) Jackhanma69 (talk) 20:13, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
