Question regarding "Draft:Marek Kowalkiewicz (professor)" article

Hi @Lewcm, I hope your exams went well!

I have made the changes you suggested. Regarding the award of his Masters degree, Professor Kowalkiewicz has updated his profile on his university's website to confirm that he received it. Will this suffice? If not, I could upload/link a scanned copy of his degree but I'm not sure if that is acceptable. Could you let me know? I hae provided a link to our last correspondence, as the conversation had been archived. Please let me know if there is anything else you require?

Hi, thank you!

That source looks fine to me! For future reference when it comes to uploading degrees I'm not sure on the copyright of that, I'm assuming we'd need the permission of the person whose degree it is and/or the university. If you'd like to know for sure you're probably best asking someone over at WP:HELPDESK.

Unfortunately I'm unable to review over the weekend due to work, but if you'd like to put it back up for review and another editor doesn't get to it before me I'll happily take a look on Monday :)

Thanks, Encoded Talk to me! 09:36, 27 January 2024 (UTC) (Lewcm)[reply]

Great, thank you! I'm learning as I go and appreciate your advice. I'd be grateful if you could take a look at the page for me again on Monday and let me know if there's anything else you need before it can be published. Cheers, Kate KWriteReturn (talk) 02:26, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lew, I have now made all the changes you required to the following article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Marek_Kowalkiewicz_(professor). Is there anything else you need before it can be published? Cheers, Kate KWriteReturn (talk) 00:48, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I'm so sorry for not getting back to you, University decided to get crazy this week, I've not had chance to have a look to be honest. As long as the changes I've requested are done it looks good to me. Unfortunately I'm not going to have time this week to look over it, so I'll leave it open for another reviewer. Sorry, Encoded Talk to me! 16:42, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lew, sorry to hear that uni's been crazy this week. There's no rush on my end, so I'm happy for you to take a look when things quieten down next week. KWriteReturn (talk) 04:31, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Lewcm, hope you're well and that uni has settled down. Have you had a chance to review the changes I made to the article, as per your comments? Please let me know if there's anything else I need to provide. Thank you :)

Cheers

Draft: Manatal

Hello lewcm,

I hope all is well.

Referencing the Manatal draft (Draft:Manatal) you reviewed. I just wanted to confirm your point of view that the sources are not strong enough to qualify for the article to be published? If so I'll wait for something from a more reliable source come out to add more depth and references to the draft before resubmitting.

Thanks and good weekend ahead. Seligne (talk) 01:52, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the issue with the draft is WP:SIGCOV, if there's anything else that has significant coverage then that'd be great! Thanks, Encoded Talk to me! 19:27, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tusk

Hi,

Hope uni is going well and the craziness has settled down!

I wanted to point you to a new request on the Bradley Tusk Talk Page since you were previously interested in the Infobox updates.

This one is for the Philanthropy section that updates two points and also removes incorrect information on another point. Let me know if you have any questions - I'll be around on the Talk Page

Thanks so much, BasilAtTusk (talk) 16:04, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message and for letting me know! I've responded on the talk page :) Encoded Talk to me! 23:48, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Toyota C transmission

We need your help, this article is the only reference on the internet left. There are no references, as there are no longer sources for this information. The forums are all gone relating to this. Toyota has removed all refences from their websites. There are no primary sources left. This article is the only reference and can only be contributed to if it is a live page. So I request that this is allowed to be re-instated while two of us scrape together the only information we have left. We desperately want to keep the right to repair alive for this transmission. Please help us. Scumspeedy (talk) 18:04, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Scumspeedy: Since articles are governed by the CC-by-SA license, nothing stops you from copying the content and publishing it on some other website, with appropriate attribution, of course. An admin, if asked, will likely be willing to assist you in recovering "deleted" pages for that purpose. That being said, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a collection of manuals. Kleuske (talk) 18:09, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Scumspeedy, if there's no more sources left then I'm afraid there's not much I can do to help, as the article won't pass Wikipedia's general notability guidelines which are required for article inclusion. If there's old sources that aren't available any more but you know where they were you can use https://web.archive.org to reference them. You mentioned there aren't any primary sources, are there any secondary sources? They can be used and are often preferred. Encoded Talk to me! 23:07, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

National Symphony Orchestra of Costa Rica

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that in fact, there is an official website for the National Symphony Orchestra of Costa Rica, which is mentioned in my bio,(as no official link found). I do not know if the website needs to be in English or Spanish. I am just the subject of a bio someone else created where they mention such organization. When I visited the page, I found a few issues that I was hoping could be fixed. The official site for the Orchestra is : https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orquesta_Sinf%C3%B3nica_Nacional_(Costa_Rica)

Thank you very much! Luis Jacinto Muñoz Gallopintomusic (talk) 17:30, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Gallopintomusic, I've updated the link on your bio to go to the ES Wikipedia page you've linked above, are you requesting changes for the page on eswiki or your bio page?

Alongside this, if you'd like to add the orchestra page to English wiki, you're welcome to translate it across if you're able to, unfortunately I don't know Spanish so I'm unable to assist. Thanks, Encoded Talk to me! 17:52, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for including the link and updating the page! Gallopintomusic (talk) 19:55, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
