User talk:Mattdaviesfsic

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

This user is currently experiencing depression, which may affect his Wikipedia editing in various ways. He may have difficulty with:

altered perception when making editorial judgements, determining consensus, or reading Wikipedia discussions addressed to him;
reduced availability on Wikipedia during times when he experiences issues;
limited capacity to respond to other Wikipedians via talk page or email messages in a timely fashion, to participate in conflict resolution, or to complete his usual workload of Wikipedia tasks.

Thank you for your understanding.

Mattdaviesfsic is trying to take a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia sometime in March, probably. Most likely, however, Mattdaviesfsic will not be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long, and will probably be back a lot earlier while making some small edits every once in a while anyway.

Head of a national academy of sciences not notable enough for you?

Hi! How come you rejected the draft article on Draft:Toshmuhammad Sarimsoqov? This person was literally head of the Academy of Science of a country which currently has 40 million residents. Perhaps the person is not white enough for you? I suggest you read the notability criteria:

"Academics meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable. ... The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)."

@Nataev: I understand that you might be frustrated by the decision to decline the draft, but I must remind you that Wikipedia editors are required to assume good faith and to refrain from casting aspersions – such as accusations of racial bias – against other editors without very good cause, as these may be considered personal attacks. I suggest that you strike out your remark by placing it inside <s>...</s> tags. (Talk page watcher) XAM2175 ^(T) 18:58, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As a separate suggestion for improving the article, you might consider using the |trans-title= and |trans-quote= parameters available within citation templates like {{cite book}} and {{cite web}} alongside the standard |title= and |quote= options. These will allow you provide titles and quotes in both the original language and English, which helps reviewers and readers. XAM2175 ^(T) 19:09, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I'm not the author of the draft article. Reviewers should just use Google Translate if they don't speak the languages used in the sources. As for my words above, I stand by them and am not striking them out or anything. Nataev ^talk 19:11, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
