Hi KylieTastic, |
|||
I am from CobbleStone Software and we recently created a Wikipedia page for our company. We recently got our page deleted (link provided above). I am confused what the guidelines are that we did not meet and how we can avoid not meeting them in the future. I was also wondering how do we get our deleted content back? |

Thank you for your help! |

Templates with Missing Files
Hi Kylie! I was just glancing at Category:Templates with missing files after having cleared the articles category yesterday. Since you seem to be the person who's worked on clearing the categories the most, I thought you'd probably be the appropriate person to ask this. If the broken image in the template is what's causing it to appear, is the right way to correct the issue just to delete the image? For example, in Template:Portal/doc/all, the Ohama portal image seems to be what's causing the issues. However, I can't find any specific edit which caused the breakage, so would deleting the image be the appropriate way to fix it in that case? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've worked on the articles with missing files template as you've seen, but have no experience with the template aspect as you can probably tell lol.
Btw, I love your username! I'm a big Kylie fan as well, so it's nice to meet someone else with good taste in music. :) Thank you so much in advance! Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 14:13, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Katniss for issues with Templates with missing files like most things it depends. Some are the same as Articles with missing files i.e. vandalism, or invalid edits need reverting; deleted images need removing, or replacing if appropriate; in the case of Template:Portal/doc/all the root file locations (e.g. Module:Portal/images/o) are protected so you need to add an edit request to Template talk:Portal for example my last request. It's always better with portals to be able to suggest a replacement, so I usually look at the portal page itself to start, but as Portal:Omaha does not exist suggesting it be deleted is probably best. Note that once a template image error is fixed sometimes you have to do a WP:NULLEDIT to articles to clear the error flagged on the articles that use the template. Happy to help, and happy to have someone else looking at those cats, so feel free to ask if you have any other questions. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:31, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, Kylie! I just made edit requests for the all templates which are showing up in the category, hopefully I did it properly. Only one I didn't make a request for is Template:Routemap/testcases, as for some reason I'm not seeing what's causing the issue. I was particularly amused though by this one Template:Basmane-Alaşehir, as in my 3+ years on Wikipedia I don't think I've ever seen any template/article so messed up. I mean I've seen some pretty mucked-up articles, but that one looks like an explosion went off or something lol. Happy to help when I can as well, and nice to meet you! I'll be sure to ask if I have any issues that I could use your fantastic (or should I say KylieTastic?) advice on. All the best, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 22:17, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Katniss you only have to make edit requests for pages that are projected that need admin, or template editor permissions to edit. Your portal request on Template talk:Portal/doc/all should really have been on Template talk:Portal so it was refused as I don't think they realised the image was defined at Module:Portal/images/o is protected - I have re-requested Template_talk:Portal#Ohama. I Agree that Template:Basmane-Alaşehir looked like a huge mess so it would be difficult to know how to start unless your very familiar with the template abd route map markup. Although L293D marked the edit request as not done, they did sort out the mess anyway (not that its a used template). Template:User reigns over a micronation does not actually reference the file direct, but uses Template:Uir which will use the 'region' parameter to generate a file name if the 'image' parameter is not included, so I added one here - It's a bit of a worthless template that really probably should be deleted, because I doubt any real micronation ruler would edit Wikipeida. However there is a community of people who make up micronations, but as long as they are not adding them to actual Wikipedia articles no harm is done. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 12:51, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi KylieTastic, ah that was my bad then, totally misread your message to mean you needed to add an edit request to all templates that you are removing images from. Thanks for fixing all those! Did make a request to this one and the response I got is "they're supposed to be broken" which I'm admittedly a bit confused about? The only other template left in the cat is Template:Basketball kit which I've made an edit request for here. Thanks for answering all my questions, I feel a bit silly having to edit like a newbie again given I've been editing on Wikipedia nearly four years now. Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 19:47, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hey Katniss no worries, we're all still learning.... I regularly keep coming upon new things, or people pointing out polices I'd not come across before. Anything that is done with good intent, and ends up in the right conclusion is just fine. As for Template:Biochem reaction arrow alt text/testcases I would prefer to have no errors flagged, and in the past I've created images to clear items, but technically it's not causing an issue. It seams the list is all possibility, but they have only created the ones likely to be needed. I would create if I was sure what they should be... maybe one day I'll look into it. As for the error showing on Template:Basketball kit I haven't found it (list is too big) but I think it may just be a false error and just need a null edit, as a missing file in that set would normally cause multiple templates to error. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:59, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
Hey Kylie, thanks, that makes sense. The issue with Template:Basketball kit (I linked it in the edit request above) is that there's a broken template Template:Football kit/pettern showing up in the article. One issue I wanted to quick run past you is one with certain highway pages. For example on List of state highways in Montana, I can see the error is that the image for S-474 is broken, yet when I click edit I'm not even seeing that any image is there in the table. Have noticed this now on several different highway pages, in another example what I just tried to do on my sandbox. The 60px redlink at the top of the table clearly shows there's an issue with a broken image, yet upon clicking edit I can't see any broken image or file name in the table. (Hopefully my question makes sense, I'm not sure if I'm explaining what I mean right). Thanks, and good to know I'm not alone in my learning process. I promise I'm usually much more familiar with Wikipedia than this lol. Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 20:12, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hey Katniss many templates auto generate image file names, in this case Template:Routelist row which does have a property "noshield=true" that will true of the image for a row - However the road fan community are very hot on making images if possible - you can request they make any US based shields at WP:USRD/S/R (nice guys) - if you look at the page history I've made a few requests ;) .... but also I've made a lot of the images over on commons. Oh and I noticed the messy change at Façade pattern and I don't agree with the move and their comment "It's only spelt "façade" as the article sources and dictionaries I checked use Facade - however you may not have noticed the editor is an admin (which makes the messy change a bit odd). I still think the page should be reverted back fully, but in the current state the commons cat link is now broken, and the ref titles are wrong. I would fix but I'm heading offline now as I'm exhausted. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:50, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Kylie, thanks for making those requests! :) I'll try to look into when I get a chance, that unfortunately may not necessarily be soon as I have a super busy real-life. Oh, I don't agree with that move either, and the fact that an admin would make such sloppy changes is even more surprising. You're more than welcome to revert me, to be honest it didn't seem like a huge deal to me and the admin's passive-agressive edit summary "People need to learn how to type diacritics on their keyboards" makes me not really want to have to deal with them on a somewhat minor issue. However I hadn't noticed they moved several articles (without discussion/consensus, which I find especially surprising for an admin who should know the policies better than that), so that isn't acceptable as like you said the commons link is now broken and they screwed up a bunch of ref titles. I'm pretty sleepy myself and thus not thinking clearly, so I can try to look into it later if I get a chance. You're welcome to fix as well if you get to it first. :) Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 21:08, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi again Kylie, just wanted to follow-up and let you know I looked more into the edit and 100% agree with your comments about the move. As an admin, I am very surprised that they wouldn't have looked up sources or at the very least opened a discussion on the talk page. It's fully reverted back now, and I dropped a note on their talk page. You're welcome to add on or chime in to if you have anything to add to what I said. Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 19:19, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Katniss OK thanks for the heads-up. Note that I've put in a request (here) for a file to be undeleted that is causing Template:Vandalism information/gallery and its sub pages to be flagged up, and causing similar errors on some users pages. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:32, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
Thanks. Made a request for List of state highways in Montana here, which just leaves AH46 as the only (currently) remaining file in the category. No idea where I would report an Asian Highway though, as whatever's wrong seems to be embedded in the infobox. Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 22:03, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Katniss normally the road infoboxes have shields in a set naming convention, I'm not sure if AH46 was configured wrong (as its complex layers of templates and modules) or the files named wrong. I checked some of the other roads in the set and they didn't have infoboxes. So for now I forced it to use the manual override to for the image. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 22:16, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
new articles?
where can i write new articles? --Fozaec (talk) 22:42, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Fozaec - Draft is the correct place to write a new article as a new user. So you could continue to work on Draft:Tremor (Call of Duty map) where it is, however all articles need to show 'notability' by meeting the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability or one of its sub standards. In this case I doubt a Call of Duty map is notable on its own. See Wikipedia:Your first article for for information of writing articles. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 22:48, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
lars olaf cardell
check plz --Fozaec (talk) 22:59, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Fozaec, I suggest looking at other articles about similar subjects. In this case Wikipeida is not a directory of everyone, it's not social media. In this case they would have to pass the guidelines Wikipedia:Notability (people). Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 23:03, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
07:14:37, 3 May 2018 review of submission by 180.191.151.104
What should I do now can I create a new article if so please reply with alist of articles which I can create
180.191.151.104 (talk) 07:14, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi 180.191.151.104 for the larger answer to "What should I do now" see Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia. As for what articles need to be created it depends what you are interested in? even after years I still haven't created any as all the subjects I'm interested in exist or are not Notable. However, we do have a list of requests: see Wikipedia:Requested articles Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 08:45, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Kylie - have resubmitted for SD, for the same reasons as previously. By all means remove/contest if you disagree, but I think it's better to leave the review in place. Regards. KJP1 (talk) 07:50, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
Article reference rejection
Hello, I am writing in as I do not fully understand the rejection of the article <Video Star> I have written for. It is a Television Program, and I simply wanted to write an English version of it. It is not an educational article, just a TV Program page I have translated from Korean to English.
I sourced and referenced the article based on the already-published Korean Wikipedia page of the show itself: https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EB%B9%84%EB%94%94%EC%98%A4%EC%8A%A4%ED%83%80 (비디오스타/Video Star) Unless I should have credited this as reference below?
I also did not think that references at the bottom of the page was necessary as I had looked to other already-published Wiki pages of such shows: e.g. Radio Star https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Star_(TV_series) e.g MBC Plus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MBC_Plus As they are pages about a TV program/broadcasting station without any references below as well
Thank you for your time, and please do let me know what specifically I should include in the page.Jasminelep (talk) 12:26, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Jasminelep, each language Wikipedia has different guidelines, so the in the Korean language version this may be acceptable - I believe in the past English Wikipedia also had lower standards for inclusion. However now all articles must show Notablity and this needs to be show with independent reliable sources so they can be verified. All articles without references are up for possible deletion - but with over 5.5 million articles yes there are still many old articles that do not reach the current guidelines. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 12:35, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello thank you for kindly explaining it to me, I understand it now. I have also just added 3 reference links to the page. I would appreciate it if you could look through it again, thank you.Jasminelep (talk) 12:42, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Jasminelep, thanks for adding references and resubmitting. It has been added back to the pending submissions, but we do have a lot currently so will be checked when a reviewer gets around to it. To be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next.

Speedy deletion declined: Skyler Lexx
Hello KylieTastic. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Skyler Lexx, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: producing recordings for notable artists is a sufficient claim of significance. Thank you. SoWhy 12:02, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Dar Al Shifa Hospital
Hello dear, i created a page for Dar Al Shifa Hospital which is a well known and first private hospital in Kuwait. I tried to add the requested references and I have a lot of articles written about it in Kuwaiti newspapers. but it goes to external links. please help me. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hana S. Zaki (talk • contribs) 12:05, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Hana S. Zaki add the reference at the section it applies to, then it will automatically appear in the reference section (where the {{reflist}} is). I would move to show you, but I don't read Arabic and google translate has issues with PDF translation. If you have more articles from Kuwaiti newspapers add those as well. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 12:17, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
I added another English article in the reference space and after saving it goes again to the external links! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hana S. Zaki (talk • contribs) 12:33, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Hana S. Zaki add the reference next to the text in the actual article that the reference covers i.e.
- Statement about a subject <ref>reference that applies</ref>
- I would move to show you, but I can't see any text in the article about the subject in the reference. References are not just to show a subject exists, but the show the claims made in the text are accurate. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 12:43, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
- I did it . Appreciate your support . Could you please check it if the article is acceptable?
- Hi Hana S. Zaki glad you worked it out, and happy to help new editors work out the technical issues. However, to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. Also I'm going offline for a bit as it's a lovely sunny day here in the UK which makes a change from all the rain. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 13:19, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Thank you, Sir
Hello, Sir! I'd like to thank you for declining my request because first off: I didn't know what exactly I was doing. And secodn of all, I wasn't sure if I was making the statement on my user page.

Your edit on article Biligiriranga Hills
You have reverted the edit which I corrected. Before correction description for the image was Spot-bellied Jungle owl, which is wrong.

Deleted Sea Service Ribbon info
Kyle - this info was from the US government site https://awards.navy.mil/awards/webapp01.nsf/(vwAwardsDisp)/AW-10052085N4N9?OpenDocument which is not copyrighted. Please show me if you think otherwise.
Thanks,
Robert
- Hi Rgbrownii it came up as a direct copy of http://ussrich.org/medals/navy_sea_service.html - however that is probably a copy with invalid copyright notice. However even if it is from a government site Wikipedia generally does not allow straight copying see Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources. I'm aware that much of the government information is not copyrighted, but that page does not indicate a licence, and it may require specific attribution - one from Category:United States government attribution templates I guess Template:USNAVY. However it is also not written in the same style as the rest of the article, and would fit better and avoid any possible legal issues by trimming down the criteria and re-writing. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 15:43, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
Propanoic Acid
Hello Kylie,
Actually, in fact, I am a chemist who happens to know that the true name is indeed, propanoic acid. Propionic acid is a misleading name for an otherwise simple compound that has confused many students in the past, and will continue to confuse them in the future. Something MUST be done about this falsity. It is a shame that the author who submitted this has mistakenly taken to use the "nickname" of this compound. It is comparable to saying that "Teflon" is the actual chemical name for polytetrafluoroethylene. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josephsyoon (talk • contribs) 23:06, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Josephsyoon as the lead says it is known by both names (as well as others) - however most the sources support the current name ChEBI, ChEMBL, ChemSpider, European Chemicals Agency, National Center for Biotechnology Information, etc. Asserting your own personal preference is not good, but the https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Propionic_acid&diff=840130117&oldid=833762957 edit] also broke several images, wiki-links, commons cats, etc. Many things in the world or different countries, different languages mean things have multiple names, the majority of sources support the existing name. If you think there is good evidence/resources to support a change bring it up on the talk page. KylieTastic (talk) 23:44, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
Draft:PJSIP
Thanks for reviewing and imporving Draft: PJSIP. However RHaworth merely deleted it without making any improvement and notification. I want to edit it to satisfy wiki terms and conditions, but the page is gone. Can you help me get it back? Thanks in advance. FYI, I edited wiki articles a few times, however this is my first time creating a one. Jychen1987 (talk) 01:05, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Jychen1987 it was deleted for the reason "G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.pjsip.org/about.htm" - unfortunately copyright is a serious legal issue so we have to delete content that infringes as soon as possible. In some cases you can request deleted articles be returned to work on via WP:REFUND however not in the case of copyright infringement. If there was a significant amount of non copied text (I can not see as I'm not an admin) you could ask RHaworth if they could give you a copy of the article without the copyrighted text, or as per their user page they may be willing to email you a copy (if you enabled email communication Special:Preferences). Hope that helps, KylieTastic (talk) 09:03, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Teahouse invites to WP:ORGNAME violators
First off, thanks for all the work you do reviewing AFC/draft material. I know it is a severely backlogged area and needs a all the help it can get.
I’ve been trying to reach out to folks who do a lot of AFC reviews about the practice of sending automatic invites to accounts with obviou ORGNAME violations. It seems kind of inconsistent to invite someone to the teahouse when at the same time you are reporting their username to be blocked. I have been told that there is an option to uncheck the teahouse invite when declining. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:41, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hey Beeblebrox, I see how it can be considered as inconsistent. However to be honest, I guess I usually review and decline before I notice the submitters name - so the decline+teahouse invite is separate from the subsequent user name violation report (I should pay more attention and/or drink less). However I would also consider it AGF in the same way that the block notice invites them to create a personal account and not do promotional/COI edits. Most people I've known in real life who show an interest in editing first suggest such COI types of edits, so I'm not sure having an extra 'friendly' notice before the block is a bad thing. I certainly see both sides, and I'll keep it in mind, and defo for the more promotional articles, but I do think if you AGF a bit of extra friendliness just before the more negative block is not necessarily a bad thing, even if a bit inconsistent. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 22:02, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
Banners
Hi KylieTastic, me again. :D I was looking at your 'User talk' page and noticed that the banner says 'It is approximately 2.14 p.m. where this user lives'. As a U.K.-resident myself I know it's currently 1.13 in the morning.
Is this a glitch or do I need to delete cookies? It's correct on the 'editing user talk' page, for some reason. Many thanks!
I realise that this is not very important in the great scheme of things. :p Muinn (talk) 00:13, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Muinn, I believe it's to do with caching but it's odd that it showed 2:14pm as that really old and I thought that page caching times weren't that long. The one on the editing page I would guess is correct because the page is 'new'. Unfortunately it's just the way Wikipedia works, the time can be updated with the 'refresh' button on the side, but this i less user friendly these days as you have to go via another page to confirm. most of the time it appears to be quite up-to-date, but sometimes.... ahhh. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:23, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

John Paul Fauves
Hello Kylie, today you reviewed my article for John Paul Fauves, and after someone deleted it. Can you please guide me what I should do. Also I am trying to submit new review from Paulette magazine written by Juliette Minel ( CODIF 04919 - 40 ). Would highly appreciate your assistance, John Paul is well known internationally and did tons of group and solo shows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julia mji (talk • contribs) 02:45, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

WP:G4 is for articles that were previously deleted via discussion and haven't been changed. So if you think more sources are now available since the delete on 17 August 2017 you can use the "Contest" button on the notice to say you plan to do so. Since this is a draft, and not live, I would think this was acceptable. However you would need new sources to meet the standards set in WP:BIO noting section WP:ARTIST. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:04, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Julia mji... well that timing sucks... it's just been deleted! As I didn't actually review the references, I can't say if I think it could be made acceptable. If you have only one more reference that probably not. Just because someone does "tons of group and solo shows" does not count, only if they were notable, i.e. did people write significant reviews of the shows?

09:00:11, 16 May 2018 review of submission by Tristanmulhall
Hi, I've made the necessary edits and changes to the article - it took a lot of time and work! It should be much clearer now CR2 is a worthy and notable addition to Wikipedia as it not only a top-15 leading fin-tech in Ireland, but also historically a global leading provider of banking software - especially in the developing world. Thanks. Tristanmulhall (talk) 09:00, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Tristanmulhall thanks for the updates, and yes writing good articles is definitely something that takes a lot of time and work and something to be proud of. Note that to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. However, the backlog has been decreasing recently, so hopefully not too long. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 10:11, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
See MOS:TITLECAPS
These conventions apply regardless of publisher preference. You also reverted the ISO abbreviation to the incorrect one, and removed the MathSciNet abbreviation. Please exercise more case in the future. Cheers. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:34, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Headbomb for some reason I was mentally not treating journal names as "works", more of an organisation or trademark the published under the same - but I agree I think that was an unjustified mental bias on my part. Also I wasn't thinking "its" was a pronoun (I had to look that up) and assumed it was like and, or, it, to, etc. and would not capitalised. Apologies for completely missing the abbreviation changes, silly mistake! Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:28, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, 'Its' is something I had to look up in the past myself. Lots of people omit it from capitalization rules because it's such a short word, but that's a house style more than proper title casing. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 12:33, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
Draft:Criminals (2018 Webdrama)
TechvitalCompitar: My page is deleted by you because there is no sources... I am adding sources to the site but there are are none as the page is newly created and the show hasn't started yet, please give me a few months grace, thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by TechvitalCompitar (talk • contribs) 12:46, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi TechvitalCompitar you article Draft:Criminals (2018 Webdrama) has not been deleted, and yes you can continue to work on it over months if needed - that is what the Draft area is for. However, I think you may misunderstand what is required to sources/references, they are things written by others about your subject (see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources). Also Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia of things that exist that are notable, and not a way to promote new things - that is what social media is for. If the project is a success, and people write about it then it may be suitable for a Wikipedia article. As also this is your own project you must read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Regards and good luck with your project. KylieTastic (talk) 13:28, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

- TechvitalCompitar previews are promotional, it's promoting the show that hasn't yet started by getting information published about it on one of the worlds most popular websites. However don't worry about the word 'promotional' its more about the Wikipedia policies - and Wikipedia is for article about things that are already notable and have been written about, etc by multiple reliable independent sources. Have you own website, have social media for it but it's not yet suitable for Wikipedia. Cheers KylieTastic (talk)

I am so distressed--I thought I paraphrased acceptably. I did not reference just one article and took concepts from them all. They all say the same things basically. As God is my witness I can find one sentence that I neglected to enclose in quotes, but I am missing what else you are referring to. I am genuinely confused. Please help me figure out how to rephrase them properly! I really want to do well on this article and I was totally blown away by this assertion. Jenhawk777 (talk) 17:32, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Jenhawk777, no reason to be distressed - I'm such most people find paraphrasing really difficult, I certainly do. However there is a limit to what can be quoted (Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing). As MOS:QUOTE says "Brief quotations of copyrighted text may be used", and I'm assuming this is copyrighted as I could not find and indication of a free licence. If you look at this (it may take a moment to run) you'll see everything after Richardson says in that section is almost identical, and too long for a direct quote. Don't be distressed just have another crack at it. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 17:42, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
Uh-oh! I use long quotes often. I'm not supposed to even if I set it off as a block quote? I thought that must have been what I did wrong--that I put it in quotes but not a blockquote so I went back and did that. I can't use it at all? Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:48, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- Two of those references were in quotes. Can I not use them at all? Can I put the phrases in quotes or do they have to be changed too? Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:53, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Jenhawk777, like many of these things on Wikipedia they are just guidelines not rules and everyone has slightly different interpretations. However in general as per MOS:QUOTE they should be brief. Longer quotes probably can be used but only when they could not be paraphrased and the whole thing has importance as a statement. For instance you'll find a few quotes on Winston Churchill and similar historic figures where there speeches were deemed powerful and thus the exact words and not just the content have value. However you'll notice they are mostly in quote boxes to be very clear they are quotes, and I think still shorter than this case. Some probably would also judge how much of the article is quotes as an indicator, so in your case they are a much higher percentage of the text than say on Winston Churchill. Hope that makes sense, but if you want other opinions you could ask at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk or the Wikipedia:Teahouse. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:58, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

- Hi Jenhawk777 if you disagree you are more than welcome to just re-submit, and I would leave for another reviews input. It is just my opinion, but I've seen several articles deleted after acceptance due to copyright concerns and I wouldn't want that to happen because I had accepted. I would look to see if you can reduce the amount of quote, even if you just split into more parts with a bit more paraphrasing. Also the section starting "The third and concluding section" has a lot of direct copy before the actual quoted second half, so you could tweak the wording of that. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 20:19, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- I won't resubmit without at least trying to work on what you suggested. I have no doubt your advice is good and well meant. I'm just discouraged right now since this is the second rejection--but down the road I will be glad of it--I know. I would hate for it to be deleted after being accepted too. So I'll work on it. Just probably not today. Thank you really--I'm glad you caught this, and once again I have learned something new about Wikipedia. I will stop falling on my face eventually--right? Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:52, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hey Jenhawk777, I think we have something in common, I take everything to heart in a negative way more than I should where as others manage to get punched hard in the face over and over and just smile because they got there in the end. I've been working on a new article for a year and a half as I find the creation and paraphrasing so damn hard. You only have to look at the history of some Good articles and they had rocky starts. I've also seen article be deleted multiple times, before becoming not just acceptable but quality content. Building articles from nothing that are more than just trivial too write easily notable stubs is hard, and the journey maybe discouraging but focus on the goal. I've heard that in commercial writing, be it news, books, scientific papers it is way harder and harsher... not something I could ever do. There is no target date here, so you can work in your own time. Just remember its not criticism, just feedback. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 22:10, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- Bless you. Thank you. I needed to hear that. I will focus on getting there in the end. It's okay if it is criticism. It's how we learn, I understand--it just hadn't occurred to me this might be a multiple rejection effort--so now I know, and I will gear up. I will do as you have suggested. I will, and whatever the next person suggests, and the next, and so on, until this article is all it should be. I won't give up because this was an important book that shifted the paradigm in early Christian history and in feminism. There needs to be an article about it--preferably one with not too many quotes. :-) Thank you. And thank you some more. Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:21, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Ive posted a new article for actor Jimmy Noonan... It was rejected due to your claim that IMBD is not a valid reference for some reason. ?
Kylie, IMBD is repeatedly used as a reference all over Wikipedia. Thats why i chose it. Please tell me what Filmography website I should reference from if you are not a fan of IMBD? This is a famous actor who has made movies with John Cusak, Robert Dinero and many great stars. IMBD is referenced all over Wikepedia. I referenced every word of my article. I had much more i wanted to add but no reference no approval. So sadly half of his career is missing. 72.239.170.229 (talk) 05:31, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi 72.239.170.229, see Wikipedia:Citing IMDb - basically anyone can edit IMDB such as they can Wikipedia, self editing sources are not considered reliable sources. So although you can use IMDB it's not enough to show notability (see Wikipedia:Notability (people)). Many roles credited on IMDB are for very minor parts and unless they are a lead role it can me impossible to tell from a cast list if it was a notable part. Generally if they are notable there will also be other references you can use. Lastly there is a huge difference to working with famous actors on a film or just being in the same film as a minor part so if your talking about Robert Dinero in Guilty by Suspicion he is only listed on IMDB as "FBI Agent (uncredited)", so not a notable role. hope that helps explain things, try to find other sources.

National India Highways
Hi Kylie, hope all is well with you. I've been attempting to fix the image issue on National Highway 127B (India) though your little 'marker_image' trick (which has been incredibly helpful btw, so thanks!) doesn't appear to be working with this one and I'm not seeing why the image isn't showing up. The same issue is also occuring with National Highway 702B (India), though I wanted to see if you had any suggestions on how to fix it before trying anything else and spamming up the article history. Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 20:01, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hey Katniss glad to see your still pluggin' away at improving our little project ;) It's been really good to have someone helping at Category:Articles with missing files again... it's been a while, and it's aloud me to spend time on helping clear the AfC backlog (finally down below 1000 for the first time in ages!). As for the two Indian highways I just created the images as it was the easiest thing for me to do (I have a few now in my commons uploads c:Special:ListFiles/KylieTastic. So all sorted again \o/ Hope you well, all the best KylieTastic (talk) 20:18, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Kylie, always happy to help. For the future (I don't know how easy this is to explain), how do you go about creating those files? I've run into quite a few of those missing highway files now, and I hate to bug you to create the file every time on one of those articles. Hope my question makes sense, still learning so I never know if I'm explaining stuff right lol. Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 20:52, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hey Katniss some of them have templates on commons, some I just base of of others, and you have to be comfortable with an image editor (I just Inkscape for SVGs and Paint.net for all others, but any will do (and that's PC, no idea on macs). I tend to only do non US ones as the US road geeks tend to be deeper into exact spec research and its easier just to ask them at WP:USRD/S/R, but you can ask for non US ones to be created at WP:HWY/RM. Note they even have a Roadgeek font you need for some to get close, but not have copyright issues. If you are interested in learning and want more input then the guys on the Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads would be the experts around here. It's always good to learn new things, and it's good to have editors who are interested, so always happy to help. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 21:05, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
Hey Kylie, unfortunately I have a Mac and I'm not particularly familiar with any image editing software. I've got some busy real-life stuff coming up, so now probably wouldn't be the best time to look into it (tbh I tend to be a bit ditzy when it comes to complicated technology stuff lol). However I definitely would be interested in learning sometime in the future, so I'll consult with the road geeks when my real-life calms down a bit. In the meantime I'll consult with WP:HWY/RM or you should I need any more assistance. Peace, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 21:39, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Yup, damn that real life stuff Katniss but there is no time limit here, and always work to do, so the project appreciates all effort but expects and demands none. I've only been working so much here recently to try to escape some of the RL crap... but time to get a work-life-wikipedia balance ;) KylieTastic (talk) 21:49, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Haha, thanks Kylie. Yeah the missing files tend to pile up quick (mainly due to vandalism it seems - surprised more of it isn't caught by recent changes patrollers) whether we're doing it or not, but always happy to help when I can and make the backlog a little less. Funny, I'm the exact opposite and I tend to edit Wikipedia less when real-life piles up - there have often been times where I don't edit for weeks or months in my busiest times with work and other stuff.

- Hi Евіка Стоколос glad to see you've added some references, although more good ones never hurts. It still has to pass WP:BIO to show the person is considered notable, also as it's a Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons key claims need to be supported by inline citations rather than just references at the bottom (which is OK for non BLP but inline citations are always preferred so the reader can verify more easily. Image if you had 50 references and someone wanted to check a claim was valid, it would take a long time to read all 50, when with inline citations you know which sources are being used for a section. Lastly these are just quick comments not a full review, and to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who does a full review next. But I would recommend looking at inline citations or look at Help:Referencing for beginners, and adding any other references you can find. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 17:52, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

- Hi Gylady I wasn't the editor who revert your edits to Genevieve Nnaji that was Dirkbb however although you added new text with sources that may have been ok you cannot add "Read the original article on Theafricareport.com" or "Follow us: @theafricareport on Twitter" to promote sources. This in an Encyclopedia not social media. Also as your promoting Theafricareport website and social media then using that as a source makes the complete edit look dubious as just promotion for your site. On a side note I rejected User:Gylady/sandbox as the source does not even appear to mention the subject "Mrs Amina Mohammed" and articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic to be considered notable.

vandalism of an entry you verified
Entry ELNET was vandalized; The editor deleted 50% of the article indiscriminently, removing relevant, referenced key information, and was reviewd already by you; Deletion was reasoned as "not referenced", which is evidently false, in every sentence.;
The user also added unverified data; The user (OmriAttar) is biased - he's creditted in the company's website as a chief executive. Please help to restore the previous version, and suggest how to deal with further vandalism.
Merci.

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018
ACTRIAL:
- WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
Deletion tags
- Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.
Backlog drive:
- A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.
Editathons
- There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
Paid editing - new policy
- Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Subject-specific notability guidelines
- The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
- Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
Not English
- A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.
News
- Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
- The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

16:47:46, 25 May 2018 review of submission by Steve the mos
I have updated the references and links section of the page, as well as added additional company information about PACCAR Winch.
I am running into issues on getting some historical images posted to the page, as it saying that they are blocked.
Please let me know if I improved the content to meet your approval. I don't want to add too much more before seeing this content approved first.

- Hi Steve the mos thanks for updating, I'm not sure what you mean with the images? You do know that images must be uploaded WP:UPIMAGE (copyright allowing) not linked to on other websites? If you explain more what your trying to do I'll try to advise. To be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next.

Initial Contact
Dear Kylie,
I hope this message finds you well.
Could you please reach out to me, so that I can proof my identity?
Best Regards,

- Hi Dalyarothschild its not about proving your identity, Wikipedia is not social media not everyone gets an article. Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia for 'notable' subjects, for people they have to meet the guideline Wikipedia:Notability (people). However also even for notable people autobiographies are strongly discouraged - See Wikipedia:Autobiography. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 17:13, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
Page Deletion/ Help
Hi KylieTastic, I am from CobbleStone Software and we recently created a Wikipedia page for our company. We recently got our page deleted (link provided above). I am confused what the guidelines are that we did not meet and how we can avoid not meeting them in the future. I was also wondering how do we get our deleted content back? Thank you for your help!
