I need help for my University Project

Hi, I am really sorry to bother you but I need your help. I am currently working on a Wikipedia page that I have personally created for a University Project. Here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Abbey_of_San_Vito_Martire Unfortunately, someone declined it because I did not respect all the parameters. I think that now it might be better. However, it takes too long for the others to review it and I need to finish it for my exam as soon as possible. Can you please review it for me? I can even improve it if you have any suggestions, as long as I know that everything will be done and ready in a short period of time.

Hello Curbon7,

Thanks for reviewing "Mahalingam Thangavelu" page that I had submitted.

I have submitted the edited the page and have included the in-line references per your review.

Please let me know if additional format changes are preferred. The goal is not to have an Autobiography, but to foster lines of research that were started by him, especially due to the background radiation effects causing cancer in the Indian state of Kerala.

Thanks very much. Mukherjee27 (talk) 14:27, 6 July 2021 (UTC)Mukherjee27[reply]

Hi Curbon7,

Wonderful, what would you need from me in regards to the Reparations Bill Passing and Alderman Robin Rue Simmons? We are trying to inspire youth in Chicago, and we thought this was a great start since the reparations bill is historic.

Thanks so much in advance!

DYK for Nikki Fried

On 9 July 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Nikki Fried, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after her election as Florida's agriculture commissioner, Nikki Fried was sworn into office using the first Hebrew Bible published in the United States? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nikki Fried. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Nikki Fried), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Can you help me creating this page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Happybusan (talkcontribs) 21:15, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why it's believed there is a not enought citations from reliable scores

Is " the guardian" newspaper in citation #2 that has a indepth artical about English people immigrating not enough.

Each of my 4 examples of Anglo-Icelander have 2 or 3 citations, these are provided by museums , television channels and newspapers....and the citation on the number of Anglo-Icelanders is from the Icelandic statistics board

What more do I need to do — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garry Taylor (talkcontribs) 01:58, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The main problem is the lack of reliable sources, which therefore does not allow for verification of the information. Without that verifiability, we don't know if there are factual errors or not. This is mainly only an issue regarding the number of Anglo-Icelanders. Curbon7 (talk) 02:14, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Response to your denial of article

Hello! Thanks for reviewing the page I created for Kyle A. Thomas. I just wanted to ask about your interpretation of the academic notability standards, which you determined were not met. Based upon Wikipedia's 8 conditions for academic notability (of which only one must be met to pass the threshold of notability), Kyle A. Thomas meets the 8th point easily. He is the editor-in-chief for an international academic journal in his discipline. So, I'd like to ask why you did not see the article about him as meeting the standards of notability? Am I missing something? I'll also add that I understand the citation criteria wasn't the strongest and I'm working to remedy that. If you still have access to the draft of the article could you point out the citations that don't meet the standards of Wikipedia because, from what I can tell looking at other pages about academics, the citations are more robust than what I've seen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Usesoap17 (talkcontribs) 23:23, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New contributor help RE Draft:Rawle Harding first article

Hello, I should have checked the guidelines further for more informations on which sources could be used and which ones could not. When I was doing the research on Rawle Harding I did a google search and there are articles written about his music however, i assumed when it came to listing his music a link to the source would be appropriate. I realize now it is not a reliable source. I have since removed those sources and added others.

When writing about music artists what are the best practices for source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaimake (talkcontribs) 23:57, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kaimake, Reliable sources and sources independent of the subject are absolute necessities, especially in a biography of a living person. If you want to know if a certain source is reliable or not, this link has a compilation of frequently discussed sources. Curbon7 (talk) 01:32, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your message about signing when adding content to talk pages

Thanks for your comment. If I go back to the talk page where I added a comment can I retrospectively add my signature or should I just do it in future? I don't want to accidentally make a mess. Help very much appreciated.

I'm sorry, I just realized I failed to sign again. Maud.Clowd (talk) 09:38, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Maud.Clowd, just do it in the future, the one's that exist are not a huge issue. There are bots that drop the unsigned template on some unsigned posts and scripts that help human editors do it, so it's not that much of a biggie. It's ok by the way, literally everyone forgets to sign their posts when they first start editing lol; I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. Curbon7 (talk) 09:59, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting Florida places

I've been involved in the GNIS cleanup since last year, and I've found a few ways to generally most efficiently handle the cleanup. PROD works well for the modern subdivisions that lack coverage, as those are generally fairly uncontroversial. Obvious non-communities that fail GNG can also be prodded, such as fords, railroad sidings with no associated community, and river landings. Anything controversial should go through AFD. A special case is if you have a bunch of very similar articles in the same county - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chaney Ranch, California for a bunch of ranches in California (+1 subdivision I would have left out) or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Butzner Corner, Virginia (a bunch of named road junctions in Virginia) for bundled ones that work. Sometimes I'll take really blatant errors through AFD instead of PROD to preserve a discussion showing why GNIS/databases aren't good sources for this, such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Levee Spur, California or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fish Pond, Kentucky. Absolutely unidentifiable stuff comes up, too - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Acodale, Virginia is one that went to AFD. Depending on how you feel about the unidentifiable ones, prod or AFD either works. Sometimes you run into hoaxes as well, like I'm pretty sure Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stone Ridge, Maryland was at least partially.

Don't feel like you have to take the advice, but these are just some general thought of mine based on experience with this. You don't want to send stuff through PROD that maybe isn't quite noncontroversial, but it's also good to not overload AFD or people get burned out. I think there were over 100 in the geography delsort page for awhile last winter when some of us were processing a big batch of California ones mass-produced from a book the author misinterpreted.

As far as I can tell, there's a mess of these in most states. I think California, Idaho, and Iowa have been mostly processed, and Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia have been partially done. Hog Farm Talk 04:23, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hog Farm, thanks for the helpful tips! I'll definitely take that into consideration. Curbon7 (talk) 05:35, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hog Farm, Luckily most of these Florida ones are pretty good so far. I've only had to AfD like 3 and PROD maybe 10; most of those were in Monroe County and Miami-Dade County, so it's actually gonna be a breeze going forward as the unincorporated communities in rural counties going northward seem to have a good number of sources that I've been able to add from Newspapers.com.

Given that there were no other editors advocating for deletion, I also determined that it was appropriate for non-admin closure. If you disagree, please let me know. Otherwise, happy editing.

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello Curbon7,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

Deletion Sorting

While I agree that those four pages should be deleted, a related issue is the lack of transparency into the choice lists for deletion sorting. See WP:Deletion Sorting Deletion Issue. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:53, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Robert McClenon, I agree; it would also likely be easier if there were definitively written instructions (ex. "when you create a new delsort, add it to this that and the other page"). There are a bunch of useful delsort pages that just haven't been created yet, and a main reason is probably because editors from those respective Wikiprojects got confused in the process.

Article for submission: Largest US Charities

Hi Curbon7,

I appreciated your review of my article for submission. When it was declined you mentioned a lack of reliable sources and proof of notability. I am of course aware that I only cited one source, which was Forbes. However, I think there is precedent for this style of List article, directly based off a reputable financial source, similar to the List of wealthiest Americans by net worth, Forbes list of The World's 100 Most Powerful Women, and 6 other lists published annually by a different magazine, Fortune, all of which have articles on Wikipedia (See list).

Since there's such a strong case of precedent, what do you think about including the 100 Largest US Charities on Wikipedia as well?

Read WP:PROD. Since I contested your PROD, the next step is AfD. Curbon7 (talk) 00:15, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain why you think the deletion tag for Mediatisation was invalid. It was made in good faith and in agreement with previous comments. I think that your action requires an explanation on the talk page. If you think there was a formal error in the rationale, it could probably have been fixed in a more helpful way. Agnerf (talk) 16:40, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agnerf, Your PROD rationale was justifying a page merge/redirect, which is out of the purview of of WP:PROD. If you wanted a redirect, you could've just been bold and done it yourself, or begun a proposed merge if you wanted a merge instead. In any case, if this article went to AfD or WP:PAM, I would support deletion/merging. Tl;dr, I'm not opposed to deletion/merging of the article, but your rationale was out of order for PROD.

Regarding removal of WP:PROD tag

Hi, I see you removed PROD tag I added on two articles i.e. Capture of Delhi (1753) and Battle of Sikandra. I just wanted to say that I thoroughly read references provided on the article page and many books for further reference. And I didn't find a single reference of said events specially Capture of Delhi page which I think completely different story altogether. See the talk page of these articles and also see my talk page where I explained in detailed about the said articles. And it is unfortunate that without any apparent reason, you removed tag from both these pages. I hope you should help us fight vandalism and hoaxes rather than defending them. I think I will go for WP:AFD after a few days when I will not be busy as its gonna be a little tedious process comapred to WP:PROD which you declined. In the meantime if you could help me to get truth of these articles than it would be appreciated specially cross-checking the sources and see if the article of Capture of Delhi (1753) has any citation/reference of capturing the city by belligerent Jats or article of Battle of Sikandra has any citation of any actual battle and not just looting of a tomb. Thanks in advance.Hiensrt (talk) 18:53, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hiensrt, My general perspective is when a claim for deletion regarding something being untrue/a hoax is made, in particular regarding Indian topics due to the prevalence of caste war editing on Wikipedia, it should go to AfD in order to get more eyes on it. I have no qualms against the nomination itself, sorry if my edit summary when contesting the PRODs seemed crass. Curbon7 (talk) 19:02, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Curbon7 understood. I will go for AfD after a few days when I get free time to spare. There is just too much non-sense written as you said due to prevalent castecrufts. That is why it is more important to keep eye on such new pages specially created by sockpuppet as these two are.Hiensrt (talk) 20:14, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion proposal of Chanto

Hi Curbon7, I hope all is well. Thank you very kindly for reviewing the deletion proposal of Chanto. This is my first time identifying and submitting such a request, and while I attempted to look for credible sources prior, I was unsuccessful. With the article being tagged for not meeting the general notability guidelines for over nine years, if there are credible sources in other languages that you’ve identified, I’d be happy to partner with you in developing the article further to ensure it is better reflected. I hope my suggestion is not too unconventional, and because you have more expertise within the platform than I do, I’d be happy to be guided by you in the process. I’m looking forward to your thoughts, and wishing you a wonderful day. Journey of Learning (talk) 03:45, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Query

Hello, Curbon7,

Your User page shows up as a pink link in my browser window which, with the scripts I use, typically means that it is a page that has been tagged for deletion. But I looked it over and don't see a transcluded speedy deletion tag on it. The page also shows that it is in the hidden category Category:Miscellaneous pages for deletion which I can't seem to remove. So, there might be a CSD tag somewhere in there but I can't find the tag to remove it. I don't think you have to worry about your User page being deleted, I thought I'd mention it to you in case you could figure it out. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 19:11, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Liz, thanks for letting me know! I'm gonna be out for the rest of today, but I'll def try to figure it out tomorrow. Curbon7 (talk) 19:14, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I think I may know, which is one of the userboxes I have is currently at MfD. That may be the cause. Curbon7 (talk) 19:15, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, this thing happens when inexperienced editors tag templates for deletion. I've seen CSD categories fill up with user pages because the speedy deletion tag was transcluded on to editor's pages. Liz Read! Talk! 00:07, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Curbon7

Thank you for your swift review of my submission. It's the first time I'm creating something for Wikipedia and I just need some clarity on what I need to fix in order for our Library's wiki page to be accepted?

Kind regards Kirchner — Preceding unsigned comment added by KigvD (talkcontribs) 07:50, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Single-use plastics

I'm sorry to hear my article entry of the above title has been rejected. The reason cited was the absence of a reliable source. The source that I referred to was the BBC. Is this institution no longer considered a reliable source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tavernsenses (talkcontribs) 06:23, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tavernsenses, BBC is a solid source, but in order to be proven notable via WP:GNG, there need to be additional sources that confer significant coverage. Eyeballing it off-the-cuff, chances are this may be a notable topic, but there needs to be additional sourcing to prove that. Curbon7 (talk) 06:29, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. MN Ghosh

Hi there, I saw you made edits on the page for Dr. Ghosh. I was hoping you could help me fix the title page - his name is misspelled as Gosh instead of Ghosh. Additionally, I would like to figure out how to link his page to the Description of his name on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawaharlal_Institute_of_Postgraduate_Medical_Education_and_Research#:~:text=MN%20Ghosh%E2%80%94first%20Director

How long does it usually take for this page to move out of draft mode? I appreciate all the help, especially since I am new!
