Hi My edits were not promotional. I was randomly assigned to this page and was adding citations to magazine articles and also added a citation to the website of the company she worked at. While the second may not be the best place to cite something it was adding a citation to an article that before had only one. Furthermore I did it because in researching I noticed that the mission listed here for En Garde Arts is not correct. I intend to add my changes back in because I think that adding citations is objectively good and also that this having an incorrect mission listed for the company is a problem. But I will wait for a while to allow us to try to develop a consensus around that. If you can find another source for the currently unsourced mission statement that I'm saying is incorrect then I'd be fine with leaving it but otherwise I do think it should be corrected. KNY22 (talk) 02:04, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

KNY22 Good day. What you added is considered promotion especially in the lead section as it should be about the subject. The existing lead is written in neutral point of view and it should be. Cassiopeia talk 02:24, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

I'm confused as to why you aren't acknowledging that there were factual errors on this page that I was getting rid of. It seems like it would be good to get rid of those and then deal with a tone problem if there is indeed one with what I wrote rather than keep an unsourced inaccurate statement? Also there is only one section to this article (unless you mean paragraphs in which case I'd be happy to put things in a different paragraph). If the issue with what I wrote is with the sentences around the mission I propose "En Garde Arts creates site specific theatre experiences and includes non-arts partners in the creative process in order to foster dialogue." If you have an objection to the sentence about the awards I thought that was notable and was also including it as a way to cite the time out article which I thought was a good citation to add but I don't mind citing the article for a different reason or if you both prefer taking that out all together. However the mission is currently misstated and needs to be changed. KNY22 (talk) 02:36, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

@KNY22 sorry for reverting that edit. After looking at it again, I thought you were the one who added the "serial cultural entrepreneur" line. I've reverted my edit. Sorry about that! I've also removed my warning from your talk page. Wgullyn (talk) 04:23, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks I appreciate that. KNY22 (talk) 04:55, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Thankyou

Thankyou for nominating the article on Max Zumstein for deletion. This is going to be a huge task to sort through the articles we have on non-medaling Olympians and fiture out which ones might meet other inclusion criteria and which ones do not. It does not help that the articles when made were almost all made as purely Olympian stubs, even for people who had significant levels of other competition appearances.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:15, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello Admin.

I removed the false news from Indian media. This false news was later debunked by creditable source. Therefore, it has no value at all.

Draft:TheKringeGaming

Hello, Wgullyn,

You tagged this page for deletion ONE MINUTE after it was created. This is not acceptable in Draft space unless there is content that violates copyright or is a BLP violation. Please give editors much more time to develop an article before considering it for deletion, at least for drafts.

In fact, it is much more important to tag inappropriate pages for deletion in main space, where readers might see them, than in Draft space, where they won't. I would encourage you to spend your time patrolling article space rather than Draft space. Please consider that content creators can spend hours, weeks and even months developing and improving their articles and give them a break. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:38, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

@Liz: I tagged that because the person creating the article is clearly the owner of the channel. Searching up the channel's name shows it only has around 50 subscribers - clearly not notable. Wgullyn (talk) 02:39, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

New section

Hello Wgullyn, You mentioned in my article to contact you directly on your talk page to discuss. Your comment was that although the topic was notable at this time, now the format was incorrect. You are correct, I manually added the logo text box. I was in help chat and several people could not help with finding the correct template for the this company. If I understand your notes, I have now done the secondary sources correctly, and am only lacking proper format of the box with business logo. If I delete the box completely, is that possible for approved submission? Get this out there and let people who have more experience edit the page? Here is the page. Thank you for your feedback. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Friendly_Folk_Records — Preceding unsigned comment added by MusicManiac1950 (talk • contribs) 11:21, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

@MusicManiac1950: I fixed some of the formatting on that page and added an infobox (I think that is what you were trying to do?) Before you resubmit the page, I would suggest removing some of the external links - most Wikipedia pages shouldn't have too many of them. Cheers! Wgullyn (talk) 13:40, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you so much for fixing the format and adding the correct infobox. I had contributed to many articles over the years as an anonymous person, just because it made me nuts if I saw incorrect information. This creating an article turned out to be a lot of work. I never realized how much work went into this process. It gave me a newfound respect for the people in the Wikipedia world. I will remove some of the external links. There were so many to choose from. Thanks for the tip, and again thank you for all your help.

@MusicManiac1950: I saw your changes to the article. I actually meant this type of link, not actual references! I've fixed that and accepted the article. You can find it here: Friendly Folk Records Wgullyn (talk) 21:21, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Neutral Style

Thanks for reviewing Martin Mooney (artist) so quickly. Do you have any pointers on what is making it feel non-neutral? I can see the Critical Reception section as being quite promotional, but is still entirely factual. All/any advice gratefully received before I go back to editing. Wagsters — Preceding undated comment added 22:58, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

@Wagsters: for example, one line that stood out is "Mooney's still lifes in particular show the meticulous detail of 17th century Dutch masters and can take up to three years to complete." It sounds like something that would be found on their resume.

Another thing that could be improved is the lead section. Right now it says "Originally from Northern Ireland, Martin Mooney sold his first painting aged 12, a landscape of Tranarossan Bay in Donegal". I would suggest changing this to something like "Martin Mooney is a British artist, especially known for ....." Wgullyn (talk) 23:35, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

@Wgullyn: Thanks, that's helpful. I will change those two things and review the rest of the article in that light.

Question about Mathias Schubert page

Hi Wgullyn,

I have been working on the page for Mathias Schubert, and was hoping to ask you a question about submitting the sandbox version. About a day ago, the sandbox was submitted, but got sent back due to the inline citations. Since then, there were more inline citations altered/added.

Do you think it looks okay to submit now? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mathias_Schubert)

Thanks for the help.

About Kedar Parulekar's Page

5 days ago you had reviewed my page Kedar Parulekar. It was declined. I have made some changes, can you please review it again and guide me ? Or till when will it be reviewed by anyone ?Pradnyeshparulekar (talk) 05:33, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't think the article is going to be accepted except if it is completely rewritten by someone else. Here are some of the things I noticed when I looked at the article:

• tons of promotional language (he is ... and much more)
• only a couple of the sources are reliable
• some facts do not have inline citations
• your name suggests you are related to the subject, which is a conflict of interest and is strongly discouraged
• you have uploaded much of the media as your "own work" -- if you do not own the copyright that is not allowed
• lots of external links that are promoting the subject's work

Any one of these is enough for the article to be declined. Wgullyn // talk // contribs 13:05, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@Unlimitedmitch: firstly, almost the entire article is a copyright violation. Due to this, I've declined the draft and nominated it for speedy deletion. Please remember that plagiarism is not allowed in articles. Wgullyn // talk // contribs 20:07, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Is there any other thing else rather than the copyright violation? Pls, kindly give me 48 hours before you delete the page.

Thanks

@Unlimitedmitch: the article has already been deleted. For future reference, there were quite a few other errors with the article -- it was improperly formatted, the headings were not inserted correctly, and it would have needed to be completely copy edited, as there were tons of grammar mistakes. I would suggest putting the text through an online tool like Grammarly, which can fix most grammar mistakes. Something that I found useful when I started editing was looking at existing articles to see how they were formatted. Cheers, Wgullyn // talk // contribs 21:26, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello there, I’m talking in regards to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Intelligence_and_Reconnaissance_(Egypt)

Basically, I was adding real content and did provide the citation that proves it, and supports it! The citation is in Arabic, as it’s my native language and the page is about an Arabic country! There is one person keeps reverting back all the changes, even when I add the right citation that supports my edits, anyone who speaks Arabic can confirm the liability of the information! Now it’s protected with deprecated information! What can I do, to update it with latest one? Pomrowik (talk) 18:23, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Autobiography

Hello, Wgullyn,

I saw you write on an editor's page that "Autobiographies are not allowed." But if you read Wikipedia:Autobiography that you referred to, you'd see that they are allowed they are just "strongly discouraged" because of the difficulty of editing with a conflict-of-interest.

GSM Perry Mason

Hello, Wgullyn, I resubmitted my article https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Alan_G._Mason. The reason you denied my post about GSM Perry Mason, is because there 2 sources, I have added 2 more so there are 4 sources for my article. The sources I used are articles from the Household Division and by the Major Generals and soldiers that knew Perry at the time. GSM Mason had served under Her Majesty the Queen as Garrison Sergeant Major of London District from 1987 to 2002. There were a lot of videos about him, but they couldn't be added to my draft. if you are not happy with my article, you can contact the Household Division London District. But if there is anything wrong with my article, you can reply to it when you get to my message.

@Memphis8370: that's better than it was, however it will still take some improvement before the article is likely to be accepted. You have a couple duplicate references, so there are actually only 5 sources total, one of which is a Youtube link. The biography section only has one reference and the personal life section doesn't have any. In addition, the lead of the draft still says, "... is a former", which implies they are still living. >>> Wgullyn.talk(); 20:29, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

This is about my grand father. There are no online mentions about his name. I found only one. We have some photos of news paper articles about him and his certificate about guiness world records.

@Svalluru81: the key to your sources is reliability and verifiability. If you can find those newspaper articles online, then they could be considered reliable, but if you have the only copies of the articles it's impossible for other editors to verify the claims in the draft. In addition, we have a notability guideline for artists. If you can't find any online mentions, it's possible that they are not notable enough to warrant an article. Cheers, >>> Wgullyn.talk(); 21:12, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

I can find one more google book online in which his name is mentioned. Are 2 references not okay ?

• AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
• The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way?

Hi there, Wgullyn, I'm somewhat new to Wikipedia editing, so I do apologize for my lack of knowledge surrounding the requirements for approval. What sources am I able to use for my page on Denise Park? I've used her bio published by the University of Texas at Dallas, the "About the Study" page maintained and published by the University of Texas at Dallas, and the "History" tab for the Center for Vital Longevity maintained and published by the University of Texas at Dallas. What about these sources are unreliable? I figured since they are all maintained by a state university, these should be fairly reliable for information. What are my options, here?

Jonknox12 (talk) 18:40, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Jonknox12! Those sources aren't unreliable on their own, but it's the fact that they are not independent of the subject. The reason I declined the draft is that you didn't add any new sources since it was submitted the last time. Judging by the number of citations they have on Google Scholar, they are definitely notable, but the draft needs more independent citations. After a quick search, I've found some articles that would be acceptable to use as sources: [1][2][3] >>> Wgullyn.talk(); 18:48, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Draft: Denise Park

Hello, Ingenuity,

A while ago, you helped me with my draft for Denise Park, a researcher at The University of Texas at Dallas. Since then, I have updated my sources to (hopefully) be compliant with Wikipedia's guidelines, and I have added a stub template to show that the draft is not yet encyclopedic. I was wondering if there was any further action I needed to take to get this draft approved, or if it should be ready as is, pending further contributions.

Thank you, Jonknox12 (talk) 17:45, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

@Jonknox12: The main problem is, in your words, "the draft is not yet encyclopedic". If it's going to be accepted, it needs to be encyclopedic. From the quick search I did the last time you asked for help, there are definitely quite a few reliable sources. Right now the draft is a single sentence which does not show notability. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 18:03, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi again,

Right, but there are several stubs out there that are not encyclopedic, with a single sentence. Do you expect a multi-paragraph entry into this person? I can certainly do that. However, that would take a while for the reviewers to review, and it would be most beneficial to me to have something published and expand it later. Is the issue that the entry is too short, or that the entry I have does not show notability? Also, "A stub is an article deemed too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject." Since my draft is a stub now, this should be fine according to Wikipedia:Stub.

Best, Jonknox12 (talk) 18:09, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
