Please do the following when posting on my page(I will ignore your comment if you don't follow these simple rules):
1) Post new sections at the bottom of the page.
2) PLEASE LINK TO YOUR ARTICLE, I go through a myriad of pages a day, I won't know what you're talking about unless you link your article.
3) Please don't request me to re-review your article unless I've specifically asked you to do so. AfC is incredibly backlogged and someone will get to it when they can.
I welcome anyone to comment or reply to others on my page, but please be kind and if their post breaks one of the above three rules, please ignore them as well.
LSG Software
I resbummited the page with sources from Use Journal, CIO Journal and the RIMS conference, one of the largest legal conferences in the U.S. It was initially declined for a lack of references, so I have added in another 3. Softwaresavvy, Softwaresavvy added 14:01, March 26th, 2020 (EST)
2022 Ohio gubernatorial race
I submitted it again with including the mayor of Dayton, Nan Whaley, and more references. You declined the article for being too soon, however other articles of this are present with other states with even less information are up. Your reason is valid, but Cranley ((Cincinnati Mayor) will most likely announce his full candidacy soon. Other people have made their own articles with less information which is why I am asking for this one to be made. Sksksks hydroflask, Sksksks hydroflask added 12:34, March 2nd, 2020 (EST)

Submission declined on 29 February 2020 by Sulfurboy (talk). 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). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window. If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted. If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted. Where to get help How to improve your article Editor resources Declined by Sulfurboy 30 hours ago.

Sulfurboy--thanks so much for the very personal response. I agree with your critique of the article, am trying to locate other articles that appeared in the Houston Chronicle, WSJ, and the Austin Statesman. It must be a headache to handle all the new page reviews. Hopefully my article wasn't _too_ riddled with errors. Thanks again, your Texas cheerleading is most appreciated. :)
Hi Sulfurboy, thank you for giving time to review my first page for Dr. George Ambartsoumian. As you are familiar I am new and the learning curve of wikipedia is pretty steep for me. I really appreciate if you can help me with some more recommendations on my chosen article. Thank you in advance for your mentorship! --Junaidbusn170/sandbox (talk) 13:29, 10 March 2020 (EST)
Hello there. Wanted to clarify that this article that I created a few days ago was intentionally left as a stub article. We are currently hosting a Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon at St Olaf College, and students at the college are going to be spending time with this article and adding more sources to it. The students themselves were unable to make a new page, as they had never edited an article before, so I simply created an article and added some preliminary text for the purposes of publishing the page. I understand there are many missing citations and lack of sources; this is fully intentional on my part so that these students can practice the research and citation process for underrepresented artists such as Keagy. It would be helpful if this page could be moved out of drafts so that they are more easily able to access the article and add their citations. Thank you. (lngracie (talk) 12:45, 10 March 2020 (CST))

Submission for Enyo Sam declined
Hello, please can you point out corrections to make?

Request on 19:20:58, 18 March 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Gaussianfilter
Thank you for reviewing!
I am not being paid directly or indirectly, therefore I do not require the paid tag (where do I state this officially to proceed with edits). If the article does not read neutrally, certainly, I would appreciate editorial guidance as a first time contributor.
I am quite interested in writing about African-Americans in Tech/Venture Capital - it is important to note that over 200 Tech VC African-Americas are members of BLCK VC (this is why I am starting with Frederik Groce, the Co-Founder of BLCK VC). Also, I am not paid nor am I affiliated with BLCK VC. I have added more neutral references as requested in the edit feedback from DGG, I have received no specific guidelines on refactoring the draft, how do I proceed?
Key Question: As a starting point, does it make sense to write a WP draft for BLCK VC first and then list all its members - then create stubs for all its members and all the Venture Capital Companies they work for (I think this is around 300 VCs/Companies now)? If so, what info should I list for each member and what is a reliable source other than venture company sites?
Gaussianfilter (talk) 19:20, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
- Gaussianfilter, I would recommend reviewing the guidelines of WP:BIO and WP:GNG as I doubt the vast majority of the subjects you mentioned would meet our strict notability guidelines. Sulfurboy (talk) 04:02, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Submission declined?
Hey, just wondering why you declined https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:The_Race_All-Star_eSports_Battle? You said that it was declined because the citations "do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject", but User:Sdkb checked it out and found nothing wrong. MiasmaEternalTALK 04:58, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
- To confirm, I was helping out MiasmaEternal on the IRC and took a quick look at the article. The Independent and Yahoo Sports sources looked sufficient to me to pass GNG, but as I'm not knowledgeable about e-sports, there may be things I missed. Regards, Sdkb (talk) 05:04, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
- MiasmaEternal, Sure, you provided four sources. One of the sources is from a blog website and the other is a press release. The other two focus more on notable driver's participation instead of the actual event itself, meaning any notability this event might have would hinge almost entirely on the notability of these already established drivers which means the event wouldn't be considered independently notable. We need to see at least one reliable source whose primary focus is on the event itself and not these professional drivers. Sulfurboy (talk) 05:09, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Rajvir Sharma
Hi,
I submitted an article about Dr. Rajvir Sharma. It was declined due to some issues with the reference links provided. Could you please elaborate a little further, or share some directions / guidelines so I can rectify accordingly.
Much appreciated. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by JojaxNation (talk • contribs) 06:09, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
Biography of Liberia's First Lady Clar Weah
Hi, thank you for your feedback concerning my draft on Clar Weah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Clar_Weah I would like to know if I could get some pointers as to the peacock terms that were used in this article, as for the references they are verified and reliable but most of them are from Africa and in particular, Liberia is it the fact that they are from Africa that they are considered unreliable? Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by BramsKK (talk • contribs) 12:00, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- BramsKK, The whole thing likely needs to be rewritten from the ground up. Wikipedia is not a place to advertise or promote every organization this person has been part of. The article also needs to be written a formal, neutral tone. Do not use Wikipedia as a voice, we care what others have to say about her in secondary sources, not what the user thinks or what the organizations she's involved with think Sulfurboy (talk) 15:24, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
What should I remove to have the article I wrote posted?
I wrote 2 versions of an article, each getting shorter and more to the point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:YEW!,_Inc. Perhaps I should remove the "Environmental effects"? Thanks for all your help. Micheltvalenzuela (talk) 16:24, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- (by talk reader) @Micheltvalenzuela: The subject isn't notable and it reads like ad copy. You cannot cite Wikipedia. Your citation about hockey says nothing about your product, wax, or using adhesive. The other citations saying that petrochemicals are bad for humans says nothing about your product, either. Finally, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS isn't a reasonable argument. Chris Troutman (talk) 16:34, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
Biography of Liberia's First Lady Clar Weah
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Clar_Weah Thank you once again for your feedback, indeed Wikipedia is not a ground to express or promote any views, the overall tone of the article will be revised. But the comment on promotion or advertisement on every organisation she has been in is not true its a biography and part of her humanitarian activities, the template was based off other first ladies wiki pages which bear similar "advertisement", and I have yet to understand why the sources that were sited were not reliable they all stem from legitimate newspapers of Liberia, hence my previous question why are they not considered credible? Thank you --BramsKK (talk) 17:07, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- (by talk reader) @BramsKK: Draft:Clar_Weah is laughably promotional. One does not
"launch her career"
by coincidentally being a bank teller where she meets her future husband. Many of the claims you make are unsourced, and promotional. Bullet-listing her goals is clear ad copy. You have gone out of your way to list her social media profiles in violation of WP:ELNO. You undoubtedly have a conflict of interest and can't see this objectively.

Hi thanks for your comments on this. In your view is the underlying content significant and this is just a technical hurdle regarding sources? Or is it more fundamental that I need to justify him being significant?
I had included the bio and his imdb page but a previous reviewer said they didn't count as reliable sources. So I stripped it all down to things that I was confident were as reliable as you can get. The seven sources are all international news organisations which I thought was good. In my eyes he counts as significant as he's directed three films which have their own (extensive) wikipedia pages but I guess it still needs a bit more work. Would it help if the post was longer? I tried to keep it concise so that every word was backed up by as many sources as possible but maybe that's unhelpful.
Very grateful for help! Thought this would be an easy one to start me off but it's been anything but! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.240.194.255 (talk) 00:15, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

So much decline
So much decline over drafts. Turkfromturkey (talk) 11:26, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
Submission declined
Hi, I noticed that, you have rejected my draft on Draft:Basab Chaudhuri . He is the current Vice Chancellor of West Bengal State University, located in West Bengal, India. 90% of the content on this page is directly based on the press coverage in the Millenium Post and the most circulated Bengali daily Anandabazar. Even his researchgate profile has been given as an external source. The information contained herein is partly extracted from the University website (Office of Vice Chancellor (VC). It's almost impossible for a man to get vast coverage and I don't think it should be the only criteria for a draft to get published. He is an well known academic in West Bengal and holds the designation of VC in a State University. I do belive that I have adequate notability and reliable sources to support the article. Now it's arduous for me to gather more sources to validate what I have written there. Please consider that. You can check the university website also. Thanks. DeoxysX (talk) 15:57, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- DeoxysX, The reliability and notability of the sources is not the problem. The problem is that the sources don't show significant coverage of the subject. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:29, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- Then what should I do know? DeoxysX (talk) 02:13, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- DeoxysX, Resources for help have been provided on your talk page and the message in the decline. Repeating them here again would be redundant. Cheers. Sulfurboy (talk) 07:36, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:50, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfur, I don't want this to get lost in the discussion about FA but you have two respected editors (John and DGG) who both express some unease with your review process. I would take heed and if you don't understand the concerns ask for more detail. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:15, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Barkeep49, Apologies for this being long, but there's some context that might be missing here. I'm not sure what warranted unease John has with my review process. I'm not even sure he fully understands the difference between AfC and NPP considering a couple of his comments and your pinging. His disagreement with my decline of FloridaArmy's article was done without assuming good faith and without proper due diligence. The article was in fact submitted and declined appropriately. FloridaArmy has been repeatedly warned and restricted and still has gone on and continuously disregarded reviewers very basic suggestions. Considering the volume of FloridaArmy's page creations, declines such as this are the only defense against a flood of improperly sourced articles, many of which have borderline/questionable notability. Why John even jumped in on this, with little to no background surrounding the issue, and why they tried to have a broader discussion about my ability as a reviewer on a submitter's talk page is beyond me.
- Beyond that, I really have no interest in hearing out John or taking his critiques seriously. He has talked down to me on more than one occasion and I've seen them be very abrasive and have a general lack of AGF, particularly towards newer editors. I've even had to outright ask him not to talk down to me and their response was "I talk how I talk". At that point, I made the choice to no longer interact with them. The only reason I even responded today was because you asked for me to join the discussion. This is why I'm choosing not to even tag them in this, as I have zero interest in dealing with their negativity unless it's absolutely necessary.
- DGG is a completely different story. They are in fact one of my favorite editors here and I always welcome and, when needed, respond to their critique of my reviews. As far as I know, I've always been open to what they have to say and I don't think it's an ongoing unease they have with my review process, but instead issue with certain individual articles. Mistakes will always be made, but I would like to think I'm always willing to admit to them and improve from them. I do welcome of course DGG to correct any of those assumptions I've just made though. Sulfurboy (talk) 03:07, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy, I understand the hesitance to engage with people who you've had bad experiences with in the past. I'm glad to hear you remain open to feedback and growth - that is all any of us can do. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 04:10, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Barkeep49, all reviewers make errors, and though each reviewer does tend to have a characteristic style and a characteristic pattern , there are some errors that most of us make, and Sulfurboy is not alone in a tendency to decline articles for fixable problems, or to not notice the relevance of special notability guidelines, or misjudgments in dealing with areas where one is less competent than one would like to imagine--all of these are errors I recognize because I make them also. .Nor is he alone in declining instead of rejecting hopeless drafts, or in not always seeing the advantages of speedy or MfD, or in not dealing more actively with the probably undeclared paid editors --all areas where I have become more likely to take strong action than most reviewers. All of us are so aware of the need to clear backlogs that we often do not give sufficiently directed help, or become apt to treat a good faith beginner as if they were a SPA.
- I deal with such errors when I see them by mentioning a clear example from time to time, and hope that will help to correct imbalance; just as I hope others will correct my own. There are some reviewers I am reluctant to correct because I know they will get angry , but Sulfurboy is by no means one of them, The only real difficulty I have with Sulfurboy is that they do not necessarily realize that a correction about a specific draft is likely to be representative of other errors of the same nature--I don't think it friendly or productive to criticize at every possible opportunity.
- I'm responding here at some length both to reassure Sulfurboy, but also, Barkeep, in the hope that I can help you can work out more effective processes to improve the quality of reviewing. I was delighted to see you participation in this. because if always helps if things don't become just a back and forth between two individuals,. DGG ( talk ) 08:37, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
Request on 09:01:02, 22 March 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Maentik
"...they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject..."
IGN, Eurogamer, and Digital Foundry are all "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
The entire IGN interview alone presents significant coverage of the subject (person) and was conducted independently by IGN.
Kind regards,
Maentik (talk) 09:01, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Maentik, You provided three youtube links (unreliable), one page is just listing credits and the other is a primary interview. None of those come close to proving notability. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:42, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy, Obviously these are not random anonymous youtube videos. Why are videos of interviews posted by independent, secondary source media companies (IGN, Digital Foundry) to their own channels (which they control), considered unreliable? Also, what do you mean by primary interview? They were interviewed by the gaming press and the public in the audience, at a scheduled open event. Maentik (talk) 08:12, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy, Update - Original sources of youtube interview videos provided. Sources further widely expanded. Notability further explained. Resubmitted. Maentik (talk) 10:41, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy, I drew a pretty clear and concise map as to the significance of the subject of the article. You do not appear to understand the game industry nor its technology. Maybe you disapprove of the particular contributions written about in the article. Other than a dislike for YouTube interviews (again, controlled and posted by the cited established media companies themselves), you did not state exactly which of the other sources are not reliable. I clearly provided multiple media articles from "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". Maybe I need a second opinion. I've already invested too much time just trying to start this article and making changes you've suggested. Then it becomes something else that is wrong. As a (personally) disinterested party, it's almost not worth continuing to argue semantics with a single authority. It makes one wonder how single-source articles like this were ever approved and still exist: Robert Duffy (programmer) Maentik (talk) 6:26, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- Maentik, It is Wikipedia, not me, that has decided that Youtube is typically considered unreliable. None of the sources your provided show significant coverage of the subject. The only sources that do directly cover the subject are primary interviews that do not denote notability. Again, these are not rules set by me, they're set across the whole wikipedia. And I'm not sure what your point is about the other article, I didn't create or approve it. Also, inclusion of another article is not an indicator of notability WP:INN . If you have issue with that article you are welcome to improve it or nominate it for deletion.
- Sulfurboy, "The only sources that do directly cover the subject are primary interviews..." No, only 2-4 are a "primary" interview (which I tried to explain they in fact, are not). But moving on... 1 & 5-8 are not primary interviews and cover the subject, so I don't understand the issue with those. And where it may be unclear, if you read or listen closely, the authors establish that the source of their detailed information is in fact, Khan. Maentik (talk) 6:45, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- Maentik, Not sure how else to get this across, but if the subject is being interviewed, that is considered primary and does denote notability and can also be considered unreliable. 8 literally has one quick sentence about the subject. Please review WP:SIGCOV
- Sulfurboy, Again, the interviews were conducted by "reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". I do not know how else to illustrate the subject's proprietary contributions. It's not as if raw source code can be released. Many articles published by the most well-respected journals involve interviews, not second and third-hand information. This new learning experience has not been a pleasant one. I'm done. Maentik (talk) 7:19, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review my article on Concurnas. I would like to improve the quality of the article. Please may I know how many additional sources/citations should be provided?

Which of these 4 do not qualify as independent media sources? I will supplement the offending items with more appropriate references. Thanks! Jtatton (talk) 00:24, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy, Hi, I think I need a bit more help to improve this article. I was able to find another reference in a printed magazine (they also have a website): https://www.programmez.com/. I will keep on researching and hopefully by next review it will be up to the standard required. Jtatton (talk) 00:00, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Declined page on bereskin & parr LLP
Hi,
I was just curious why the new proposed page on Bereskin & Parr LLP was declined? In viewing the landscape of IP firms in Canada (i.e., intellectual property), I had noted many IP firms had informative Wikipedia pages (e.g., Smart & Biggar, Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP, etc.). Accordingly, I sought to add a brief page discussing Bereskin & Parr. In particular, in viewing and passing by the Wikipedia page for "Boutique law firm", I noted that Bereskin & Parr did not have a Wikipedia page.
Alternatively, how could I change my submission to be acceptable, without it seeming like an "advertisment"? The original page noted a brief history of the firm (i.e., founded in 1965), it's founders, the number of lawyers, it's general ranking in IP landscape as well notable clients that have been represented. I seem to have found similar information disclosed in other articles discussing law firms.
As well, apologies, this is one of my first draft submissions - I am unsure how to link to the deleted draft in this comment, as per the rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IPLaw365 (talk • contribs) 20:46, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

- IPLaw365, The entire article was an unambiguous advertisement which is why it was speedy deleted. If you are not able to see that it was nothing but an advert, then it is likely you have a conflict of interest in play that is affecting your ability to view the subject neutrally.

Could you please explain why this article "Karl Ferris",(about me) which has been on Wikipedia for over 10 years, is now marked for Deletion or Draft? I, and much of the public, do believe this subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article, and has over the past 10 years. And, half the pictures on it were there from the very beginning and are in public domain...and I have just added 4 additional images that half were uploaded from Wiki Image sources and half from me Karl Ferris, their Author and copyright holder, (and I give Wiki permission to use them). I also corrected a few incorrect names and dates in the original article written by Michael Goldstein-Curator, of the Album Cover Hall of Fame.com And there are plenty of Periodical citations there also, and many related Wikipedia interlinks on the page to many other related pages.
So the article is definitely legitimate, therefore could you please review and reinstate the article as it was for many years? And please let me know: karlferris@hotmail.com
Thank you, Karl Ferris Ferris1182 (talk) 23:10, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy, Ferris1182, I moved this back to mainspace. I agree this shouldn't have been moved to draft, and if it is not notable, should be subject to AFD. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:28, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Crystallizedcarbon, please do not move 10 year old articles back to draft. They should be put through AFD instead if the subject is not notable. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:34, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF, Yeah you made the right move Angus, I had no idea when I reviewed it that it had been an article that was moved back to draftspace that had been in main for a decade. That being said, it is possibly an AfD candidate, and at the very least, all non-sourced BLP claims in the article should probably be removed. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:38, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy, no worries, I find myself jumping on those drafts like that too. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:40, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hello Sulfurboy, @AngusWOOF: I did WP:BEFORE. There is enough coverage to justify inclusion so AfD does not make sense. After so many years most of the article is not backed by independent reliable sources, I thought of just trimming all unsourced claims, but that would leave mostly a gallery of images. In its current state it does not follow WP:BLP. I moved it to draft in the hope that involved editors would source the content and remove that which can't be sourced. I will add the citation needed templates to the article In the hope that references are added, but if there are no changes I will probably source some and remove the rest of the content. Any better ideas to go forward? --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 08:29, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- Crystallizedcarbon, I would just be bold and slash and burn anything that isn't backed with a source. This will encourage the page creator and anyone else to add in sources if they want to rebuild the article. Sulfurboy (talk) 13:16, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- I will give it just a few more days before I take out the flamethrower. It has been like that for years so a few more days won't matter much. The best scenario would be that at least some of the content is sourced before the much needed slashing. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 13:26, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

I've removed the notability tag you placed there. The article has three solid secondary sources, so I do not think the tag is appropriate. --The Huhsz (talk) 10:01, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- The Huhsz, You need to review WP:CORPDEPTH. The article as it stands completely fails that.
- Source review:
- 1) Standard corporate directory entry. No coverage.
- 2, 3, 5, 7) All are considered trivial mentions under WP:CORPDEPTH, in particular "expansions, acquisitions, mergers, sale, or closure of the business"
- 4) Unreliable blog, news site.
- 6) Just an advertisement for the product that is likely self published.
- Thus, the article wholly fails the requirements of WP:NCORP. Even if 4 was considered fully reliable or a notable publication, that still puts this article short one article to meet the aforementioned standard. I'm restoring the tag and posting this to the talk page. It should be noted that when I reviewed the page, I very much considered draftifying or sending to AfD, but I'm giving a benefit of a doubt. If it's not corrected, or the tag is removed without improvement, then one of those routes will have to be considered. Sulfurboy (talk) 13:31, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi there Sulfurboy. I am sorry you didn't like my fixing up Lucky Lou's; mea culpa, when you did not answer my question about content creation over at Talk:Hitachi Zosen Inova, I took the liberty of checking your contributions. I see you are mainly a tagger and reviewer of other editors' work, and there is nothing wrong with that. I then looked at the five articles you have started. Most of them look fine, but this one stands out as a terrible article in terrible shape. Now, I apologise if this comes over as a tu quoque, and it sure sounds like a nice bar to drink in, but I think there are some problems there. I've raised some of them in talk as you requested in your edit summary when you reverted back in all the promotional material sourced to long-dead blogs; you really shouldn't have done that but never mind. I'll see you at the talk page and we can see what needs to be done. --The Huhsz (talk) 18:24, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- The Huhsz, What you've done is a pretty blatant violation of WP:HUNT.

Sulfurboy (talk) 18:29, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- All right, and for your hurt feelings you have my apologies, again. The article we are talking about was created by you seven years ago, as you say, and has had an "Advert" improvement tag on it for six of them. I am not in the least upset, and I hope you are not either. See you at article talk. --The Huhsz (talk) 18:59, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

No worries. I was, in fact, surprised to hear back from anyone so quickly. Mid 20th C. art is... a challenging subject, with all the copyright issues it infringes on. And... the perceptible fade into self-promotion is going to be an ongoing issue. Definitely multiple eye passing over the content is the way to go. Again, thanks for the quick response. Sicklemoon (talk) 23:37, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
Another P.S. I saw your note, and I'm working up the two sections that need it. Really, it was the partnership of Madeleine, with her French (and Swiss) connections, and Arthur, with his Polish Connections, that made the gallery so influentual. So--the gallery is the important thing, I think, not so much the individuals who ran it. I'll add the bits about Madeleine and the politics with the Guggenheim, the Met, &c. so the Gallery's importance is clearer. As I wrote above--wasn't clear when my end of the job could be considered done. I've only experienced Wikipedia from the users end, to date. So am learning today's standards as I go. I figured it was better to get that in process than sit back fussing with one piece. BestSicklemoon (talk) 00:49, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Link: Modular_forms_modulo_p
Thank you very much for your review. You changed the title from modular forms modulo to modular forms modulo . However, the article only talks about modular forms modulo (which is a special case when ). What has been written in the article do not generalize to (it is a very special case), so I wonder if the change of title is needed.
- So the discussion to change the title to that was held here. To be honest, this subject is completely over my head, so my input is useless which is why I turned to the Mathematics talk page for help. You're welcome to discuss it there, on the page's talk page or be bold and just rename it if you like. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:08, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Yes, there are dozens of reviews from notable critics about this Turkish film.
In the article, I try to Cite information from; i-D Vice Magazine , Office Magazine (Which one of the leading fashion magazine in New York), Lindsay Magazine http://lindsaymagazine.co/ (Australian Publishing Company written from Harvard Phd writer) news from CNN Turkey , Sözcü Newspaper (Which is the biggest newspaper in Turkey), Please Kill Me is one of the most important respected punk community website (http://pleasekillme.com/) It's a punk community website from New York.
Here are some other critics from very notable writers and newspapers of Turkey. Would you want me to put them into the article? Here some others;
Hurriyet (The biggest newspaper in Turkey (New York Times like) https://www.hurriyet.com.tr/yazarlar/ugur-vardan/sessizlik-lutfen-40804158 Art Unlimited (One of the most respected art critics paper in Turkey) https://www.unlimitedrag.com/post/bir-cigligin-tezahurleri Sözcü (Cinema critic at one of the most read newspaper) https://www.sozcu.com.tr/2018/yazarlar/burak-goral/sessiz-kalmak-yetmiyor-bazen-2348193/ Milliyet (Here is another important newspapers critics) https://www.milliyet.com.tr/cadde/gulay-afsar/arada-kalmak-2651670
Maybe, you didnt saw these at notable, because I added them as website? Is that might be the reason, why you asked? Should I change the categorise of the cite's so that it will make more sense.

Subject: rejection of article The Rebecca Notebook and Other Memories.
Can you give me some meaningful feedback or tell me what you want as opposed to sending a generic rejection message. I put in considerable effort to provide as many independent references as I could find which were meaningful to the article. I have seen articles published on Wikipedia which provide far less references. You need go no further than look at some of the articles on Daphne du Maurier's other novels on Wikipedia. Of importance to me and this is what I use Wikipedia for is not what someone says about the novel or a rough idea of what the novel is about but in this case, I wanted to know exactly what short stories are included in this particular book because many of these short stories were published in other books. The easiest way to get this information is from Wikipedia. This information is lacking in some cases with the Daphne du Maurier articles on Wikipedia.

One more question- I noted on my userpage and in the edit summary that I am paid for writing this article. Do you know if that is enough to remove the Undisclosed Payments disclaimer from the page? Thanks! Jcollinsycc (talk) 18:09, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- Jcollinsycc, It needs to go on the talk page as well I believe. I will post a general note on your talk page that should have all the links on how to properly disclose. Sulfurboy (talk) 18:16, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Sulfurboy Thank you for this info! I've added the Paid User template to my User Page. Is that sufficient? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcollinsycc (talk • contribs) 19:56, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Jason Dunn
Hi, thanks for the review of: Jason Dunn biography draft. He's the main subject of The Guardian article, and the Nat Geo YouTube video is a well-produced profile published by a respected publication (although I understand if this could be classified as an interview). In all the resources he's notable for his comments on space industrialisation, so I'd argue he is or close to a leading expert in a new field. I'd also argue he's no more or less notable than Aaron Kemmer. NuvaTelcon (talk) 18:55, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi Sulfurboy. Thank you very much for reviewing the draft for the Draft:MGP_Live page. In your response you indicated that that the article's citations did not show significant coverage (just passing mentions) about the subject.
I added a published citation (this article) which discusses solely the work of Massimo Gallotta through MGP Live. The Financial Times article specifically identifies MGP Live as one of the key players in the "Live Video Game Music" phenomenon. Additionally, The Daily Star article cited in the draft is focused on the unique production (Assassin's Creed Symphony) of MGP Live and includes 6 paragraphs that specifically discuss MGP Live/Massimo Gallotta. While some of the other articles that I cited don't include repeated paragraphs of references to "MGP Live" or "Massimo Gallotta," the articles all specifically discuss the unique contributions and work that MGP Live has produced. These citations include two New York Times articles ("The Maestro of Spaghetti Westerns" "Labelle Trio Returns") and more. Would this be enough to qualify for significant coverage?
I would appreciate any feedback or insight you can offer. Thank you very much for your time! Sunstone23 (talk) 04:16, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sunstone23, MGP is not the primary subject in any of those articles. I would recommend reading up on the policies that have been pointed out to you already. Also, please be careful of multiple consecutive edits on a talk page. Each edit done by someone pings me and emails me. Which means for this one comment I got seven pings and seven emails.

Draft: Escapology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Escapology.)
Hi - thanks for reviewing my submission. I'd be grateful if you could provide further guidance.
You have declined the draft on the basis that the page reads 'more like an advertisement'. However, while drafting I referred to a number of published articles on companies and mirrored the structure and grammar style. Could you please advise what in particular reads like an advertisement as I tried to write neutrally and factually.
I have taken on board the need to add additional citations which I will add.
Thanks.
- If you truly feel lines like: "Since inception, Escapology. has sought to distinguish itself through design. The company does not have in-house designers; instead following a model of curation of the best designs from around the world. Through the quality of its designs and the focus on serving, not selling, its customers the company is seeking to make it exciting for people to shop for their home again." do not sound like an advertisemnet, then it is very likely you might have a WP:COI that is preventing you from approaching the subject neutrally.

Vincent Ducrot, draft
Dear Sulfurboy,
I hope you're doing fine in this difficult time. I come back to you for my draft about Vincent Ducrot. You wrote: "but all claims in the article either need inline citations or need to be removed" - or, I put inline citations to the claims. What have I done wrong - can't figure it out? Can you please show me an example of right and wrong?
Thanks in advance, and take care Best regards from Switzerland

Carlo Masi Draft
Hallo, I saw you declined the bio I am writing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Carlo_Masi because "is not adequately supported by reliable sources". I am pretty new as a writer and I am confused, the sources I mention include CNN, NewYork Post and mostly reliable news papers from all around the world. The only sources I would consider arguable are some about his porn career but being a porn career you can not expect the financial times to speak about it, the sources in that section are reliable in the world of porn. Could you please help me to improve the sources and make it suitable for wikipedia? Thank you.
Ps the page I am creating is very similar to it's Spanish version https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Masi with about the same sources. There are wikipedia pages of Carlo Masi in other languages that I can not read but the sources are always more or less the same --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 12:24, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- AlejandroLeloirRey, IMDB, Wikipedia, blog sites, etc, are not considered reliable. I recommend reviewing WP:RS and then go over your sources and remove the problematic ones.
- Cheers Sulfurboy (talk) 13:29, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy thank you for your advise, I will read it and try to change those sources that might be considered unreliable, I don't think I cited any IMDB, Wikipedia or blog sites but I will go through the sources again as soon as I have read what you suggested. After I did the changes what should I do? should I submit it for review again? thank you --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 14:16, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy Hi, I am sorry to bother you so much but i am puzzled, I am reading other porn stars bios to have an idea of the type of sources I should use and I only find pages like this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zak_Spears with only 1 source. I am going through the sources I used and I spotted a few I could change but the most of them are very reliable like national news papers (CNN, New York Post, Messaggero, Repubblica, Il Giornale, Bild, etc) and for it's academic info I referred to his page on the web site of the University of Rome La Sapienza, which is one of the most important university in that country. It would help if you could be more specific about which are the sources I should change (like their number in the list). thank you, thank you, thank you --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 14:16, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- AlejandroLeloirRey, I'm not going to do a line by line analysis of all of your sources. That's your job WP:BUILDER. I've already pointed out some examples and where to get more information. WP:RS. I'm not sure why you're bringing up other pages, if you have issue with that page, feel free to put whatever applicable maintenance tags you feel belong on it. Sulfurboy (talk) 14:52, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy I am sorry I brought up other pages, I am learning an I thought that looking at a few examples is a good way to determine what is suitable for wikipedia and what is not. I will do my best to check every single voice. Thank you. AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 14:16, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy I just finished double checking the sources and I believe (hope) I did a better job. If you have more advise I will be keen to follow them AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 14:16, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Declining again my article
Good Evening. You are doing an excellent job. I submitted my article on 26/02/2020 which was rejected saying that it appears to be a copy of the same submission. Being new to Wikipedia, it could happen to me. Then my article was rejected again on 15th March, reason being that it is a copy of the article submitted earlier and that the previous article will be reviewed not this one.
Then again there is a message of 2 days ago that my article has been declined as it is against the policy of Wikipedia. I am sending you the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Stefanvihar/sandbox
Kindly confirm it has been rejected finally or the earlier article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Prabhakar_Singh is still to be reviewed. Thanks and please stay safe from CoronaStefanvihar (talk) 13:03, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Stefanvihar, The draft one is still to be reviewed. You cannot have two submissions of the same article at the same time which is why the sandbox one was rejected. Sulfurboy (talk) 13:30, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Rafa Sardina - Early life
Hi there,
The claims in the Early life section are supported by the 2nd reference. I put the citation at the end of the section because it applies to all of it.
Thanks again for your quick reviews,

Declined: Draft:Troels_Lund_(director)
Hi. I appreciate the quick response and attention given to the page I am trying to publish (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Troels_Lund_(director)). I am struggling with the feedback, however. The only sources left are newspapers and official websites. Would you mind being specific in terms of what should be changed in order to get the page approved? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Terrencetown (talk • contribs) 21:49, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- IMDB and Linkdin are not reliable sources. Sulfurboy (talk) 21:51, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- I already removed the IMDB source and there were never any LinkedIn sources to begin with. So is it good to be approved now? Terrencetown (talk)

Sulferboy:
Thank you for your comments. A few questions:
1. Are you objecting to the use of IMDb and Facebook as references, or are you questioning that the person so referenced has not performed in these roles as described in this article?
(Please note that there are hundreds of photos and articles about her already on the web, including reviews of her work by the New York Times, including photos of her in this show published the NYT). Further support include listings by Playbill (a Broadway publishing entity) of her performances. The Facebook reference points to a page managed by the theatrical organization itself - and supports the statement that the show she was in was oversubscribed.
2. If I deleted both IMDb and Facebook references, would the supporting referenced articles from Playbill, the New York Times, CBS Entertainment (and other publications) be sufficient reference?
3. There are over 20 in-line references already integrated. I am confused by the statement that in-line references have not been utilized in this article.
Thanks for your help - and please advise.
