Fabuwood

Hello, I am new editor and this was the first page that I made: Fabuwood. You posted a tag that the page sounds like an advertisement. I tried my best to make it neutral sounding. Do you have any advice on what can be changed to make it less advertisement sounding? Knockingonyourdoor (talk) 06:12, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Knockingonyourdoor: my two main concerns with the article is that excessively describes the products produced by the company and that a lot of its sources appear to be WP:CHURNALISM. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish·growths)} 15:32, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Review of new pages

Hello! Could you review of these pages Aznaur Tavaev, 2023 Russian National Greco-Roman Wrestling Championships and Azamat Akhmedov? Thank you! @MicrobiologyMarcus Ricco Baroni (talk) 07:12, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

I tend to stay away from reviewing sports leagues and sports figures and don't do reviews upon request. At a cursory glance, I cannot find any glaring issues of WP:BLP or WP:N, with the massive caveat that I cannot read the Russian sources. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish·growths)} 15:08, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

fumizuki clan article

Could you tell me in detail on how I can do a better job on that article? Hitachi fumizuki (talk) 21:51, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

@Hitachi fumizuki: per the declination reasoning, it does not appear to meet the threshold of notability and does not contain sufficient reliable sources. Consider reviewing WP:REFB for more help. Further, I'd also identify NPOV issues with your draft which may stem from your apparent conflict of interest. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 22:32, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Super Singer 10

Question for you - new editor on the article, NeeSinghamDhaan, feel like the latest sock of 81.104.111.169 / 161.74.220.0/23 to you? Ravensfire (talk) 17:36, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

@Ravensfire: Yeah, I'm thinking so. Looking at

| rowspan="2" |[[K. S. Ravikumar|K. S. Ravikumar (director, actor)]]<br>[[Dheena (actor)]]<br>[[Pavani Reddy|Pavani Reddy (actress)]]<br>[[Mahendran (actor)]]

from this comparison: [1]. Who pipes links from pages without disambigs to add the descriptions in. That was part of the needed ongoing cleanup and it's being added back in? Same editing pattern I'd say for sure. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 17:42, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

@Ravensfire I've opened something on WP:Sockpuppet investigations/81.104.111.169 but it's my first time doing so. I've used Twinkle so hopefully everything was correct but feel free to check my work. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 17:48, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Oh thank you! I was thinking about the SPI and you've done the heavy lifting. I'll comment there. In part, some of their editing has improved - not using colors, not using all caps, still adding descriptors after names and the issue you noted, but there's potential to be a better editor, but not even trying to discuss that they've been blocked, the reasons and how they can do better, just creating new accounts and going. Sigh. Thank you! Ravensfire (talk) 17:50, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Requesting Feedback for Draft:Enrique Avilez article

Hello Marcus, can you please give me feedback, what should i do? MichelleGodoy2020 (talk) 22:05, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @MichelleGodoy2020, you've got text that is highly promotional (contrary to WP:NPOV) that cites to facebook, youtube and interviews with the subject (a WP:primary source). These are not WP:reliable sources. The article must be based on facts that were established by secondary sources and use inline citations to those sources. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 00:48, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

There is no extra text above the article. I do not understand why you see a blank page...I see an article. Investigative-Journalist-1973 (talk) 16:03, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Investigative-Journalist-1973: Is this in reference to the text on your user page at User:Investigative-Journalist-1973. The draft article you sumbitted was your sandbox page, located at User:Investigative-Journalist-1973/sandbox which was, and currently still is, blank. You'll need to place the text of your draft article on your sandbox page, below the invisible comment instructing you where to place the article text. That is why your submission was declined for being blank. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 16:09, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

I hope this helped or moved. I don't know why if has a feel of an HTML world here where it is not automated...like plug and play style. I moved the text intuitively. I do not know if it was moved or not moved. I do not quite understand the setup on Wikipedia. Investigative-Journalist-1973 (talk) 16:14, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Investigative-Journalist-1973, what you did was moved the empty article to mainspace where it was then tagged for deletion because it was still blank so an administrator moved it back to your sandbox where you then moved it to the draft space with a somewhat relevant title but it was still blank so another editor again declined it again because the actual page of the draft you are submitting has no content. So I've copied the content of your user page and placed it on the draft page. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 18:14, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Note: User blocked. Page deleted. Diffs removed, last bit stricken. Wow, should've read the content of that more closely first before helping. That's a regretful mistake. Attack page masquerading as an article upon further inspection. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 19:13, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Request on 15:38:06, 2 March 2024 for assistance on AfC submission by Jdbtwo

• Jdbtwo (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:WKdm (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I can't add references to sections that the reviewer feels are inadequately sourced if I don't know what sections they're referencing or what exactly what the reviewer wants to see in those sections if they're edited so that they have what the reviewer feels is enough inline citations. Could you please tell me what sections you feel are inadequately sourced? There is only one section with no inline citations in it because I felt the inline citations in the previous section had already adequately explained the material in that section and I didn't want to be redundant -- if you actually read the sources it's apparent that everything on eg. "Decompression" is explained by the sources in the compression section. I can edit the draft article and add inline citations to the sections which you feel are inadequately sourced if you tell me which ones need more inline citations ( it is obvious though, that the sections with no inline citations are inadequately sourced, and I can easily fix this ).

I could cite many examples of articles already on Wikipedia with far fewer sources than my draft and which have at least one section with no inline citations. Take, for example, the Motorola MC14500B article or the DEC PDP-14 article.

I don't see how articles of the aforementioned types are fine but my submission isn't -- is there some sort of double standard?

Jdbtwo (talk) 15:38, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

I've edited the draft article and added inline citations to the "Decompression" section and also added more inline citations to the article in general. I went with the policy of adding inline citations to sentences and paragraphs -- hopefully it isn't excessive. Please tell me if the edited draft meets your requirements for sufficient inline citations for the various sections. Jdbtwo (talk) 16:08, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Just a thought : I didn't add many inline citations (before the last edit) per section / paragraph as I felt it would introduce redundancy. I believed that adding more citations would create clutter because I thought that the sentences and paragraphs following said inline citations had already adequately been referenced regarding the subject being discussed and explained in more detail in the sources for the aforementioned inline citations -- I guess I was in error. Jdbtwo (talk) 16:20, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

@Jdbtwo: I can see you've definitely added the sources. I'm trying to better understand if the coverage you've demonstrated allows it to meet WP:N as I'm not sure the primary sources cover it.

In regards to your comparission articles, yes, it's well established that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.

microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 16:30, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

I was just adding more inline citations but there was an edit conflict -- trying again. Jdbtwo (talk) 16:43, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

A Question on "advancing" the article

As you may remember there was the IRR Transversal Line article with whom you helped, for which I thank you, yet I still have a question: the article is currently rated as Start-Class, what do you think would be changes to get it into C-Class? Do you have any remarks on the article, or advice? With kind regards, JohnnyDoobydoo (talk) 18:46, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey @JohnnyDoobydoo, looks like a C class to me. I've updated the ratings. For more information, you can review WP:Content assessment. There is also a group of editors who monoitor WP:WikiProject Wikipedia/Assessment § Requesting an assessment if you wanted to request someone to review it and give feedback. For asking for more suggestions about what it would generally increase the quality of the article, the fine folks over at WP:WikiProject Trains would be the best place to seek help.

Request to move Anshika Kaithwas to Anshika (footballer)

Kindly request you to move the page I just created for Anshika. There is another footballer, Anshika Kaithwas, from UP and I mistook her for Anshika. Anshika is the Indian player (goalkeeper).

Your help will be much appreciated as I don't know how to remove the page. Thanks a lot! Davidindia (talk) 15:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@Davidindia: I'm sorry, I'm happy to help, I just don't understand the request.

You made Anshika Kaithwas and you want to move that to Anshika Kaithwas (footballer)? Where is UP?

The reason for the move is you want to make another page for a different Anshika Kaithwas, also a footballer, from India?

The reason I ask is because it will most likely need double ambiguators if they both play football:

Anshika Kaithwas (Indian footballer) and Anshika Kaithwas (x country footballer)

Let me know, I'm happy to help. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 15:21, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

I created a page for Anshika (instead wrongly named it as Ashika Kaithwas, who is another footballer from UP).

So I want the current Anshika Kaithwas to be renamed as Anshika (football) or just Anshika. Sorry for the trouble. Your help is much appreciated. thanks and regards! Davidindia (talk) 15:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@Davidindia becayse they both play football, they'll both need a disambiguator with the page name of the name being a disambiguation page. And because of the similarities, the WP:MONONYM is not a solution here, they'll need to be properly identified. I'm happy to move it, I just need more information. Can you draft the new article, for the time being, at Draft:Anshika Kaithwas (even if it's just a stub, just so I can get basic info) then I will move all properly and you can continue working after that?

Thanks, microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 15:44, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Agree. Because Asnshika Kaithwas is also a potential India player... So I guess you should put the current page in a draft and then I will work on it. When I tried this (Draft:Anshika Kaithwas) it is saying, page already exists. Thanks and sorry for the trouble. Davidindia (talk) 16:07, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Or may be I can change this article and put Kaithwas content. And later create a separate page for Anshika (goalkeeper). Just give me 30 min. I will change the content. Please don't make it a draft right now. Thanks Davidindia (talk) 16:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. As per your advice I have put the new content. Later, once I create the page for Anshika (goalkeeper), a disambiguation page can be created, I guess. Thanks once again. Best, Davidindia (talk) 16:33, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@Davidindia that was not the way to do it. In the future do not overwrite articles simply to claim the page name as it affects the relevant page history and associated wikidata linked to those pages. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 16:54, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

OOps. My sincere regrets. I was a bit confused and made the mistake. Kindly suggest how I can correct it. Posting my talk page reply here. Davidindia (talk) 17:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@Davidindia it's been resolved. Do not use that as a solution in the future. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 17:19, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks a lot. Did in good faith, though! Davidindia (talk) 17:20, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, @Davidindia -- You currently have two identical articles for both players (minus the differing date of birth). This is not acceptable, especially when you have personal information about one of the players (i.e., that she donated part of her liver to her brother). This is clearly not the case for both players. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 17:31, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Davidindia and Significa liberdade: I believe the correct revision has now been placed on then page. As the original author, can you review and confirm. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 17:35, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

There are two players. One is Anshika (Indian player, goalkeeper, HOPS, Haryana) and then Anshika Kaithwas (midfielder, Uttar Pradesh) who donated a part of the liver. The second one is not an Indian player, she only played the Nationals. Actually, I have enough material with reliable references for Anshika (HOPS, Haryana),but right now there is no article/page for her... Can I can create her page so that there is no confusion. Apologies for all this mess! Davidindia (talk) 17:43, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@Davidindia Hang on, before there are any new pages created. Take a look at Anshika Kaithwas and see that it is a DAB page for Anshika Kaithwas (footballer, born 2004) and Anshika Kaithwas (footballer, born 2003). Slow down. First things first: are these articles and their content correct? Work on those first. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 17:45, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

The first one (born 2004) is not correct. It is Anshika's (hops). The second one is correct for Anshika Kaithwas. Maybe we should remove DoB, as we don't have reliable source. thanks Davidindia (talk) 17:48, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@Davidindia okay, that's not how I saw it, that one doesn't have a birthdate source. I've placed both in the draftspace for the time being until these can get sorted out. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 17:53, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! Much appreciated! Davidindia (talk) 17:58, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Anshika Kaithwas moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Anshika Kaithwas. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because both articles included are red links and were apparently also moved to draftspace. 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. CycloneYoris ^talk! 19:56, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

I do apologize for the automated message above, but it was because I used the "draftify" script to move the dab to drafspace. CycloneYoris ^talk! 20:07, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@CycloneYoris: None needed, appreciate the extra eyes on cleanup! Cheers, microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 21:25, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Following up about a page you turned down

Hello Marcus, I am reaching out because I am a newcomer to editing on wikipedia, and I recently posted a draft of a page that was turned down by you. I have worked hard to correct the problems that you identified, but it says on my sandbox page that I should reach out to you first before resubmitting. The page in question is about the dutch academic, author and methane reduction activist, Roland Kupers. Can you please let me know what my next step should be? thank you so much for your help, best, Anne (with the wiki name of acknowledgeshame) AcknowledgeShame (talk) 01:38, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Wiki Page

Hi, I’m writing to you about approving the page of the wikipedia of the multi-million company HMD Trucking, the profile of which I have done here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:HMD_Trucking. I did not understand why the page was not approved because it meets all the requirements, and the company is very famous. I’d like to make a deal with you about whether I can buy a approve of this page or if you can tell me when I should change the text so you can do it for free. I also see that now the queue for verification instead of 7 days became 7 weeks, and now generally 8 weeks. How to fix this, why is it happening? USSRHydra (talk) 14:35, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
