Updates to Dirk Maggs Wikipedia page

Hi this is Dirk Maggs. My Wikipedia handle is comedycrank. You've reverted a lot of the changes I have tried to apply to it today to bring it up to date and remove subjective or conjectural updates, several made by people unknown to me who have either copied and pasted material from my website or added notes of their own. For example my place of birth was given as Bristol when it is the Channel Islands. So after a brief attempt a few weeks ago to fix that, I've made a concerted effort this afternoon to both make the page more accurate and clear out some of the verbiage, particularly where there was a long list of old radio productions but scarce details about major projects which have happened in the last few years. I don't have a lot of spare time so I set myself an hour or so today to try and fix some of the issues so at least the template warnings didn't apply any more. Now the page has been reverted, so I'm at a loss as to how I can help make the entry more accurate - being its subject - without being second-guessed. As someone who regularly contributes when Wikipedia asks for financial help I presume accuracy in the entries so I'm a bit disturbed that my corrections to a page about myself are found to be wanting. Perhaps the reversion could be reverted? Comedycrank (talk) 16:10, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

@Comedycrank Wikipedia needs reliable sources to make your edits. Contact the Teahouse for better information. Thank You. Kpddg ^(talk) 06:45, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Update to last message regarding Dirk Maggs Page

Hi. I have re-uploaded the updated version of the page, logged in this time. Am hoping this will establish my bona fides and avoid another reversion. all best Dirk — Preceding unsigned comment added by Comedycrank (talk • contribs) 17:11, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

GA reviews

Thank you again for reviewing and promoting Mudumalai NP to GA!! While I appreciate your effort to reduce the back log in GANs, I think it was premature to nominate and promote the page on the Asiatic cheetah. The nominator has not contributed anything prior to nominating the page, and it still has quite a few shortcomings. For future reviews, I recommend that you check the contributions of the nominator so to able to assess whether s/he is really familiar with the subject. And next: does the page meet the B-class criteria, does lead adequately summarise content, is content adequately sourced, are additional sources needed or missing that warrant to be added? Cheers – BhagyaMani (talk) 10:16, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Fine, my apologies. Thanks for informing. Will keep in mind. Once again, my sincere apologies. Thank You. Kpddg ^(talk) 10:20, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

You don't need to apologise!! Thanks for your understanding. – BhagyaMani (talk) 10:36, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Golden Retriever GA

Hello Kpddg, thank you for commencing the Golden Retriever GA. Would you please allow me to attempt to rectify the issues you have raised with the article before failing the review? As I see it you want several sentences restructured and I clearly linked one incorrect reference in the popularity section, I feel this can be done in pretty short order. Typically a review occurs over a week, I feel three hours a little hasty. Cavalryman (talk) 10:51, 8 January 2022 (UTC).

Kinda ironic how he promoted Asiatic cheetah instantly and failed this article immediately. 2001:4455:1A9:E100:B9FF:8C1B:DCCD:8FD3 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 10:54, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

There were many issues with the prose of the article. Hence, I decided to fail it. All reasons have been mentioned on the GA page. I highlighted all points of improvement in the article. Thank You. Kpddg ^(talk) 14:43, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Kpddg, as a courtesy I am coming here to update you. I have raised your review at WT:Good article nominations#Second opinion requested: Golden Retriever (I assume you are aware as you were pinged) and consensus is you failed the nomination overly hastily. As such I have reopened the review and requested a second opinion. Cavalryman (talk) 01:41, 9 January 2022 (UTC).

Kpddg, as per WP:GAN/I#R3 "Depending on the responsiveness of the nominator, you may decide to put the review "on hold" for about seven days to allow time for issues to be fixed." This you did not do. Perhaps you might like to acquaint yourself with (1) the requirements of WP:GAI, and (2) use of the possessive in plural nouns as per MOS:PLURALNOUN - we expect our reviewers to at least comply with the English Wikipedia's use of the English language. With only 1,870 edits under your belt, I doubt that you have "sufficient knowledge and experience with Wikipedia content policies" per WP:GAC to be conducting GA reviews - your attitude is commendable, but you ability at this time does not pass review. 14.2.193.197 (talk) 03:16, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Okay then. I will not further review an article, till the required experience and permission is gained, as it is against the policies. However, please inform where have I not complied with the 'English Wikipedia's use of the English language' ? Thank You. Kpddg ^(talk) 06:45, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

You made a mistake on Rachel Matthews reversion

The change you reverted contained an accurate edit summary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.64.189.57 (talk) 04:23, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
