Good evening sir, i noticed your help on Nicolas Dalayracs article and thank you for the fixes made there, i would fix them too, but converting everything to meet with the templates and its parameter here needs a heck of knowledge though!

Review Request for Draft:David Friend

Hello John B123, I wanted to request a review for AfC Submission Draft:David Friend. Please help me review the article and let me know if there are any more changes required to draft. It is my first biography draft. Thanks--JakePeraltaB99 (talk) 02:54, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi, JakePeraltaB99. I've had a look at the article and made a few minor changes, mainly to the references. My only concern is that David Friend may not meet the criteria of WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. Regards --John B123 (talk) 09:19, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello John B123, I thought that before and when I checked, the notability states that either of the following can establish notability:

• The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times.
• The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field.
• The person has an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography or similar publication.

And David Friend receiving the Proclamation for David Friend Day, also being a serial entrepreneur where his products are used for widely recognized artists and tv shows should fit in this category - "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times." He is also the chairman, board member and is widely recognized. Please tell me where am I going wrong and how can I fix it?--JakePeraltaB99 (talk) 10:00, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi, JakePeraltaB99. You're not doing anything wrong, apart from the notability the article is fine. I'm not sure if "David Friend Day" is well-known and significant, a search on Google for that term didn't bring up any results. Personally, I think that cumulatively his activities make him notable, but the guidelines are based more on single instances. However, biography notability is not really my area of expertise. I see you have submitted the draft for AfC review, perhaps the editor who reviews it there can give more guidance. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 10:42, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

User:JakePeraltaB99 - Why did you move the draft into article space and then back into draft space? Robert McClenon (talk) 18:58, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello Robert McClenon, I am extremely sorry about it. This is my first article and I am still learning and exploring Wikipedia. I was checking out options and moved it by mistake. I thought move option was to move in folders so I did that. When I saw it became an article, I changed it back. I apologize for the mistake, wont happen again.--JakePeraltaB99 (talk) 01:01, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Purohito Ka Talab - suggested changes

Hi,

I have done suggested changes for "Purohito Ka Talab" article — Preceding unsigned comment added by IK1313 (talk • contribs) 10:12, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Airports

Hello John!
Thanks for reviewing my article Shella Airport. I had earlier created another article Jogbani Airport and I think that you can review that article also.
Thanks--YashPratap1912 (talk) 15:13, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi YashPratap1912. Thanks for the articles you have created, I've reviewed Jogbani Airport. Regards --John B123 (talk) 16:25, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Armando Monteiro (footballer, born 1950)

Hello, I am the user that created the page Armando Monteiro (footballer, born 1950). I got a notification saying you reviewed it. Does this mean my article is officially on the Wikipedia main space? Also, how come my article is not indexed into Wikipedia yet? Does this take a little bit of time? Thank you for answering my questions. Paul Vaurie (talk) 20:40, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Paul Vaurie. The articles are always in mainspace, but until they have had a new page review Google doesn't index them. Once reviewed, Google finds them and they usually appear in search result with a couple of days. Regards --John B123 (talk) 20:49, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Kano Sultans (Bugaya, Muhammad Kisoki, Kanta Kotal, Tsamiya, Usmanu Zamnagawa, Abdullahi Burja, Bugaya, El Kutumbi, Kanajeji)

Hi John, thanks for the review. I have added references to the suggested pages as recommended. However, the Kano Chronicle is the holy grail for the history of Kano because it is a compilation of various works and accounts, the events of which have been scrutinized by various historians and corroborated by multiple other credible Sahelian sources like the Borno Girgam and the Tarikh Al Sudan. All other works on Kano refer to or from the Kano Chronicle. I reckon quality over quantity should be used when judging the credibility of listed sources but I have obliged to your request nonetheless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Screledrus (talk • contribs) 06:32, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Screledrus. The quality of references is very important. Whilst in this case Kano Chronicle is the best source, in other cases there is a danger of an unreliable source causing the article to be incorrect if a single source is used hence the recomendation for more than one source. Another point is that when I first looked at the articles, there were paragraphs/sections that were not referenced. Even if you have 3 paragraphs based on the same source, adding the same reference to all three shows that they are sourced. Just adding the reference to the last paragraph makes the other two look unreferenced. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 07:24, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi

Hello, I opened a few items. Can you get it approve? Thank you! ----𝘋𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘴 ϟ ^Heyyo? 09:24, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for reviewing the Wylfa Newydd nuclear power station page that i have made. It is a work in progress currently.

Here are some more pages that i have created and you might like to look at:

Bradwell B nuclear power station, Sizewell C nuclear power station, Moorside clean energy hub

P.S. I am increasingly becoming annoyed by someone who edits the pages as well as me as they tend to remove chunks of the page and then say to re do it, or it is not relevant despite it being relevant to both it and another project. They then often do not fix the section, leaving it up to me. What should i do about this? Alex Berrow (talk) 21:22, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Alex. I've reviewed Bradwell B nuclear power station, the other two have already been reviewed. Some of the other editor's changes are valid (compliance with WP:MOS, combining refs etc) but others are just a different personal viewpoint. I would suggest you undo the changes you disagree with with an edit summary along the lines of: Please discuss on talk page as per WP:BRD Regards --John B123 (talk) 22:00, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you reviewed

Hello, John B123

Thank you for creating Irish wildcat.

User:Vexations, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

suspected massive copyvio of Mysterious Creatures: A Guide to Cryptozoology by George M. Eberhart

Vexations (talk) 21:24, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Vexations:. I didn't create the page but did review it. I don't have access to Eberhart, but a Google search of any/all of the 3 sentences in the stub doesn't bring up any matches. If you have a copy/access to Eberhart and it is a copyvio then please mark the article as such. Regards --John B123 (talk) 21:36, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

John B123, it's a widely pirated text. I can't link to it obviously, but I'd have to go though all the OPs submissions to check. More to follow on their talk page soon, I think. Vexations (talk) 21:51, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

@Vexations:. Thanks for the info and good luck with sorting it out. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Regards --John B123 (talk) 22:05, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me out in Purohito Ka Talab article and can you pls review myteam11 and Mahakaleshwar Temple Udaipur which I created recently. or share feedback so that I can improve it.

Hi IK1313. IK1313 needs references for the sections "Legality and laws" and "How to play". Mahakaleshwar Temple Udaipur needs to be added to some categories. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 16:56, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Internet censorship topic

Hi. Internet censorship topic is Semi-protection and I can't add information about internet shutdown in Iran, at the Shutdowns part of the topic. It's link of the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship

There are some useful things about Iran internet shutdown, you can help me to add (only two or three sentence is enough): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019–2020_Iranian_protests#Internet_shutdown

♡Thanks HappyBird6858 (talk) 13:02, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi HappyBird6858. The last line of the Internet shutdowns section of Internet censorship is The Iranian government imposed a total internet shutdown from 16 to 23 November, 2019, in response to the fuel protests and is linked to the article 2019 Internet blackout in Iran. I'm not sure much more is needed in Internet censorship? Regards --John B123 (talk) 17:03, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

New Airport- Shirpur Airstrip created!

Hello John,
With immense pleasure, I want to notify you that I have also created the Shirpur Airstrip article which was requested on Wikiproject India.
And by that, my aim of creating all articles on the requested page is complete. I hope you will review my article. Looking forward to contributing more to Wikipedia! Thanks--YashPratap1912(CONT.) 14:57, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi YashPratap1912. I did look at the article yesterday and had concerns over the notability. However, if it's a requested page at WP India, I'm assuming somebody with greater (local) knowledge that me has already assessed it as being notable enough for inclusion. The article just needs to be added to some categories. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 17:11, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your review John. I also had the same concern regarding notability. But I created the article only because it was requested. YashPratap1912(CONT.) 17:40, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Kiribati Law

It was just a mistake: I had no intent about an article with that name, it was just a better category page, more correct than Existing « I-Kiribati law » category. But could you avoid to put on my discussion page automatically written paragraphs that not seem to have anything to do with my mistake? I am not a dangerous vandal but a normal user that could be wrong sometimes. Avoid to repeat that, please.--Arorae (talk) 18:12, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Arorae. We all make mistakes from time to time so that's not a problem. When we see a new page with no content, we have no idea of the circumstances leading to it's creation. In this case it was by mistake, but on other occasions the editor may intend to add content shortly. I think it's only courteous to let the creator know what is happening. Regards --John B123 (talk) 18:23, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

thanks for your very kind reply. Immediate deletion could be the right solution. Regards.—-Arorae (talk) 20:02, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the uncategorized tagging

It seems that categorizing is the one thing I forget to do. Without you, the articles I have made would go uncategorized for eternity. Hopefully I won't need your assistance next time but thanks for the help! Muttnick (talk) 00:28, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
