Thank you for your feedback. Many new citations have been added and all citations now have internet links. As a result the entry is now much better and more interesting and hopefully now satisfies the Wikipedia requirements. Tropisun (talk) 18:45, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. However, the "Personal life" section is still unsourced. I'll suggest adding reliable sources to the section, then, I don't see much problems, but this is because I've only taken a skim through the draft. I'll look further into it :) Tails Wx 18:48, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know how to cite personal information or the level of citation required. I don't know that I can cite a birth certificate. Perhaps one of the existing citations can be repeated there? Tropisun (talk) 19:03, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, go for it. Tails Wx 19:04, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Yun Kobe

Please read WP:DRAFTOBJECT. In thsi circumstance our route should be one of:

  • Since it had a CSD tag on it, leave that to take effect
  • Remove the CSD tag and send to AfD

Draftification can be an arcane area when DRAFTOBJECT is in play. It leaves us with very few options 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:29, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Thanks Timtrent for the clarification. I wasn't entirely sure/confident in my move to drafting, but the link you have sent me (WP:DRAFTOBJECT) solves the problem. Again, thanks for the clarification. :) Tails Wx 13:41, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Everyone has made this mistake, so please be unconcerned 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 15:58, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Has "everyone" actually made this mistake at least once? Tails Wx 16:26, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've made it more than once! I imagine everyone who has moved an article to draft often enough has a similar track record! 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:28, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Haha-okay. I figured most experienced editors have not made this mistake after reading WP:DRAFTOBJECT and other WP:DRAFT policies. But I guess not! Thanks for your input :) Tails Wx 16:33, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ironic??

How is petition to ban Bbb23 ironic? And, did you sign it? 151.27.192.3 (talk) 01:00, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1) It is, because you are trying to ban them when they're an admin; and 2) no. Tails Wx 01:01, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What "petition"? Since when did someone begin making petitions to "ban" people? — Moops ⋠T⋡ 01:02, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Moops:, there was a petition to ban Bbb23 from Wikipedia, but I am not releasing any other information because of privacy concerns and the edit has been suppressed. I kind of felt that ironic, because, why ban a long-time editor and trusted admin? Tails Wx 01:04, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What about this: https://wikipediasucks.co/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1198&p=18184&hilit=California+bbb23#p18184
Does that make you want to ban him? Replyinger (talk) 01:10, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So admins are fundamentally superior human beings who can do no wrong? You sound like a capitalist. Replyinger (talk) 01:07, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No they are not. They are held to essentially the same standards as any other editor. — Moops ⋠T⋡ 01:09, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Moops: But you said "It is, because you are trying to ban them when they're an admin" Replyinger (talk) 01:11, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
