Discretionary sanctions awareness

thanks for feedback. Revised tone and resubmitted for review. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.109.54.34 (talk) 21:51, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I don't think that the tone is improved enough, but I'll leave it for another reviewer to decide. For example, wording such as "more than $30 million", "more than 90 machines", "nearly 70 Bitcoin ATMs" should be avoided — the actual number should be given. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 22:01, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
the citations used that phrasing so I felt they were appropriate. Will you move this to the mainspace? 98.109.54.34 (talk) 22:06, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am willing to move this to mainspace for you upon request (as a solely technical request) instead of through AfC, as long as you understand that:
  • this is not an AfC acceptance nor a judgment that it meets relevant policies and guidelines;
  • I am only moving it for you because you are technically unable to, not because I think it should be moved;
  • it may be nominated for deletion upon being moved to mainspace.
Please confirm if you understand this and still wish for the page to be moved. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 22:18, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I confirm my understanding of your points. I came upon this article and felt it should be in the mainspace. Others may disagree. I would ask your objective opinion: do you believe it should be in the mainspace? if not, what are your personal objections? 98.109.54.34 (talk) 22:25, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've moved it as requested. I think it still needs more work: I'm not entirely convinced that it's notable, and I also have concerns about its neutrality (for example, an "awards and rankings" section is unneeded; awards usually shouldn't be mentioned unless a reliable third party publishes information about said award). Tol (talk | contribs) @ 22:36, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
point taken. the awards were published by reliable third-parties so I felt they were relevant. others may disagree. i've seen these sections on many other article. In terms of notability, multiple significant third-party media outlets -- NPR, Forbes, Yaoo Finance -- provided citations, so the subject seemed to meet the key requirements for inclusion. I appreciate your help here. 98.109.54.34 (talk) 22:44, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Forbes reference (this) was not written by Forbes staff; it was written by an independent contributor. Per WP:FORBESCON, such articles are generally unreliable. I also can't find any references to NPR in the page. As for the awards, where exactly were they published by reliable and independent third parties? Each award is only referenced to the organisation giving the award, which is not independent. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 23:46, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for review: Couple of explanations

Dear Tol,

Thanks for reviewing my article and pointing out the drawbacks. I have edited them and resubmitted them.

I would like you to review the article considering that there are several sections from the Manifesto and the Authored announcement of the Art movement, which could sound peacocky but they are not. The sections were taken from the announcement and the Manifesto might be descriptive and emotional but art is what is discussed in the article.

Also, guide me regarding the links to be used as sources.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArtWriter ArtLover (talkcontribs) 15:33, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ArtWriter ArtLover: Your edits have not fixed the problem with the draft. The wording is nowhere near neutral, and I just found out that substantial portions of the draft were copyright violations of this. Copying material from other websites is prohibited unless that material is properly licensed. I have removed the copyright-violating content. Nearly all of the text in the draft is promotional. Just because the draft is related to art does not exempt it from our neutral point of view policy. I also noticed that you added "© Lilit Nshani (All rights reserved)" to the draft. If material is written by someone else, copyrighted, and not properly licensed, it should not be in Wikipedia; such material should be removed. If you wrote the material, by publishing it, you agreed to release it under the CC BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL licenses, so your rights are not all reserved. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 15:56, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
please clearify the part of copywrite violance. I have added the reference to the source and added the menton about All rights are preserved. I also have the writen permission of the people whos words are put as part of the article. ArtWriter ArtLover (talk) 16:06, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Feedzai page

Hi Tol,

Thanks for all your work on the Feedzai page. I'm so happy to see it back up again and really appreciate your efforts to clean it up.

I do have one question: how do I add a company logo to the information box? I couldn't figure out how to add an image to that section.

Ssfdz (talk) 15:11, 11 May 2022 (UTC) Ssfdz[reply]

@Ssfdz: First, the file needs to be uploaded. From Feedzai's website, I found this logo. Is this logo correct? Tol (talk | contribs) @ 15:38, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's the correct one. Ssfdz (talk) 17:03, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Tol - where does it get uploaded? Ssfdz (talk) 17:27, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ssfdz: Because it's a simple logo (letters and a stylised arrow), I don't think that it meets the threshold of originality for copyright protection. This means that it's in the public domain, so it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. I've uploaded it there as c:File:Feedzai logo, 2020.svg, and added it to the page's infobox. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 19:19, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again @Tol! Ssfdz (talk) 19:48, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, @Ssfdz! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 22:13, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tol: Issues have been resolved if you wish to take another look, save for the copy-vio tag that requires an administrator. It appears that the organization list was the main culprit, but a few sentences were verbatim. I found a better source, albeit with slightly less information present. I've cleaned up a bit of puffery as well. Thanks for the review, it's greatly appreciated. Etriusus 17:33, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Etriusus: I'll take a look. I find non-English sources a bit hard to assess, so I'll err on the side of assuming that they're good reliable sources. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 19:01, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Etriusus:  Accepted. I do recommend adding more high-quality sources to better establish notability, if you can. Thanks for your work on this article! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 19:06, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Tol:, there was one source that was unreliable, and likely a resume. It was cut during the first review. I did a bit of digging to see where the copy-vio issues came from, and oh boy it was a rabbit hole. Realistically, the Albanian Page This page for Delina Fico needs to be flagged for WP:CV, citing another wikipedia page, and using a resume/unreliable citation. It was my mistake in trusting the version I was working with. Thanks for re-reviewing and accepting the page.
The Albanian Wiki specifically wanted the page translated, so I assume it meets notability. I'll continue to foster the page, translating to English takes time, unfortunately. Frankly, I dislike the Wikipedia Translation tool interface, I'll probably just translate pages by hand from now on (DeepL doesn't have an Albanian language translator either). Etriusus 19:17, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Etriusus: I don't know Albanian (nor am I familiar at all with Albanian Wikipedia), so I wouldn't know how to do that. As for the re-review, no problem! I don't think notability is entirely clear here (especially because of the non-English sources, for me), but I do think that you've done a good job with the starting material (and thanks for taking care of the copyvio)! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 21:26, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Please see this draft. There were objections about the sources. As a result, dubious sources were removed as well as some fragments of the text. Thanks. Валерий Пасько (talk) 19:28, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Валерий Пасько: Sorry, but I don't think I'll review this draft. I'm not an administrator, so I can't see the content of the deleted page Vladislav Sviblov to see the extent of the draft's similarity to it. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 23:03, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Do you think the article in its current state is suitable for transfer to the main space? Валерий Пасько (talk) 19:18, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Валерий Пасько: Currently (by itself), I think the draft still has some fairly minor issues that should be resolved. For example, there are some potential neutrality problems ("innovative technology", "more than 100 tons of gold"). I also find it difficult to assess non-English references, so — while I think the subject is notable — I can't easily verify that. If it wasn't for the previously deleted article, I'd probably accept it. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 19:30, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the feedback, I will work on revising it to reflect the neutral perspective. This is my first ever article so I will take my time before submitting for another review. Shart290 (talk) 22:58, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Shart290: No problem; thanks! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 23:09, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, i have made a Wikipedia page for n-fusion. I had the original idea of doing that in Line Of Sight: Vietnam. I have absolutely no bloody idea on what i am doing, i have cited some recourses, but i have no way of citing more and expanding more, i’ll try my best from making this sound like an advertisement. But i have no more info available, Should i give up, or keep digging?. Fetviper8 (talk) 23:28, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fetviper8: I don't think that tone is a major issue with this draft (though removing their mission statement would probably help in this area). If you can find any more quality references (from reliable and independent sources) which establish notability, then I'd suggest that you add those and resubmit. If you can't, then N-Fusion probably isn't notable. Given that they have released several notable games, I think there should be enough coverage to establish notability. I also couldn't figure out what the graph in the history section is for — did you intend to add the graph, or should I remove it? Tol (talk | contribs) @ 23:35, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Tol: i have added a graph there because of the steam stats, it will take some time to look into steam and find all of their games. Also, i have changed the heading so there would be a bit more clarification, should i look into steam? Or should i rely on another source i have already looked into? Fetviper8 (talk) 23:42, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Fetviper8: I believe that some content on Steam is self-published, but data on game revenue is probably reliable. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 23:49, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Tol: well, how should i improve it other than removing the goal? (Also, then the heading would need expansion, how do You think that’s going to happen?) Throw Me Ideas. Fetviper8 (talk) 00:04, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Fetviper8: I've done some general cleanup. I would work on adding more sources to establish notability. News coverage would probably be your best bet. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 00:10, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Tol: ill get working on it, i will notify you when i have found more tomorrow in a new section. Fetviper8 (talk) 00:19, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Fetviper8: Sounds good; thanks! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 00:26, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update

@Tol i have done research, research, and more research. The progress really paid off, from 4 references, To 28! I have added a game review section, since i couldn’t find anything important in news stuff. What should i do it now to polish it up so it wouldn’t get requested for Speedy Deletion. Fetviper8 (talk) 20:07, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fetviper8: I don't think it's in danger of speedy deletion. Right now, my primary concern is that there isn't much information (or many accompanying references) about the company itself — most of the draft is about their games. This could make it difficult to demonstrate notability, because notability is not inherited. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 19:39, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your review. I removed all mentions of awards and the adjective "novel". Please let me know if now it looks good. If you find any further issues, please let me know what they are so I could fix them (I cannot see any at the moment, and just a general statement of issues with the formal tone would be hard to understand). This is my first new article. I modified existing articles in the past and might be missing something. Thank you again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ypolyakov (talkcontribs) 00:39, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
