I am having issues with my laptop that make work on wiki very hard right now. Please understand my ability to respond or help will be very limited. Thanks.


See an issue needing an answer on my talk page that you could help with? Feel free to answer!

I will absolutely not respond to your comment unless you follow the following simple rules in placing a comment on my talk page.

  • 1)You have read my FAQ below and haven't asked a question answered by it.
  • 2)Appropriately post a new section (see button/link above) at the BOTTOM of the page
  • 3)Do not ask me to just generically fix your page without a specific question, I'm not interested in fixing everyone's page for them.
  • 4)You need to hyperlink to the page you are discussing, this is probably most important. If it's remotely difficult for me to figure out what page you're talking about, I'm not going to waste my time.

Sorry if those four things seem harsh, but I review and patrol hundreds of pages a day and can't keep up with all the replies.

FAQ You declined a page I submitted for AfC and have a question... If that question is directly answered by one of the hyperlinks posted after I reviewed it, I will not answer you. You'd be surprised how often it happens. The posted links are posted for a reason!

Why did you not leave a comment when you tagged my page? I typically won't unless I think the issue may be unclear. New page patrol is overwhelmed (~50,000 pages to be reviewed with only ~1000 being currently reviewed every week) and if I spent the time to explain every tag, I wouldn't be able to review even a third of the pages I do now.

I completely disagree with a tag you placed on my page!! If you disagree with a tag, please state why on the article's talk page and leave a note here for me to review it. If you think the tag was a blatant error on my part (it happens, sorry), then please revert the edit and leave me a message letting me know that was the case.

I don't see a conversation or message I posted on your talk page... Check the archives, conversations are typically automatically archived after five days. If you wish to comment on an archived section, please move it back to the main page. I do not regularly monitor my archive pages.

Why do you keep tagging my page? Do you have something against me? No. Occasionally after you address certain issues, more issues will arise on my re-review. For example, let's say I first tagged your page for having no references, after you add references I may go back and add a tag for no in-line citations (which would have been irrelevant before there were references). Also, if there are multiple, small issues with your page and I can see you're new, I might just tag a few things at a time instead of overwhelming a new user. Please do not take any of my tags personally. I do not target people. I go straight down the list on the new page patrol. I do however regularly watch pages I review, which is why you might see me come up often in edits on your page.

Will you help me fix issues you tagged on my page? Typically not, unless I need a break from new page patrol. Why? I used to do this and it got to be very overwhelming. I feel the actual new page patrol needs my help more than helping to fix things on already existing pages (not to mention there's others much more qualified than me for most fixes suchs as categories, copyediting, etc). It doesn't hurt to ask though, but please do not be offended if I do not help or don't respond. The tea house is your friend, use it. Note: I will always clarify on tags, though. All in all,don't hope the house will build itself!

I would like to give you an award, thank you note, or barnstar... Thanks! You're awesome. And I always love the support. But please put it on my user page, not my talk page. :)

Hi there, I'm not sure why our submission is being rejected. There are plenty of external sources stating the notability of this congress. Where have we gone wrong? I based our submission on the following World Congress of Cardiology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Congress_of_Cardiology), and as you see, we have many more references and a lot more information about the subject, only making it a richer and more informative entry. Can you give me guidelines as to how to make it better? Thanks

You rejected the original article because you thought the synopsis we submitted was "lifted" from an article in the Erie gay news. Actually, the Erie Gay News lifted exactly the description that was on the PBS website, which we wrote with PBS.

The film was produced in association with and broadcast by PBS. Therefore its appropriate to use their description.

Erie Gay News is a little gay new sheet in a small city in Pennsylvania. Not sure why you would think we lifted something from them?

Hallo, I recently checked, that the website is not online. What can be done to be accepted?

Thanks for your advice,

17:51:54, 1 May 2016 review of submission by Cameltown


I am requesting a re-review of this draft submission (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Eufenio_Keletaona) because I do not understand how the draft submission uses peacock terms and does not have a formal tone for which it was rejected. I summarized information from 3 newspaper articles from Wallis and Futuna Premiere, an independent news source.

In reviewing my submission following its rejection, I understand that it has four potential weaknesses. First, I can see that the details about the attendance of police provided by the Prefect and Eufenio Takala completing the ceremony by sitting on the mat may be superfluous. Describing the type of mat admittedly has little to do with understanding the significance of the enthronement. However, I intended to provide as vivid a description as possible because I assume that Wikipedia's general readership, especially its English-reading audience that would additionally be challenged in reading newspaper articles written in French, would like to comprehend the environment as much as possible. Including the presence of the police at the enthronement may also be irrelevant, but I could explain the significance in a re-write.

Secondly, I admit that formatting the references and citations was challenging and I was not satisfied that the 3 articles were mentioned twice. I would of course rewrite these citations for the article. It would be convenient if I could simply write footnotes as 1, 2, and 3 and use Chicago Style bibliographic information. Writing Wikipedia articles is new to me, this draft submission being my second Wikipedia submission.

Third, I recognize that some of the chronology, especially in the "Opposition To Enthronement" section, may appear muddled. It may appear this way because some information relating to Eufenio Takala's birth and ancestry is relevant to the controversy surrounding his enthronement. In a re-write, I may actually list Eufenio's personal information first, in which I would state his age, eligibility to the kingship, and relationship (as a cousin) to Eneliko.

Notwithstanding these weaknesses, which I could correct, I believe that this draft submission accurately describes the political situation surrounding what was a controversial enthronement and provides as much biography as possible on Eufenio Talaka. What I don't understand is the concern that I used peacock terms. The newspaper articles I used are from an independent source unbiased toward any parties in the controversy.

Please let me know how I can improve my draft submission.

Hello, the submission 'Hillerbrand+Magsamen' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Hillerbrand%2BMagsamen was declined because "This appears to be a duplicate of another submission which is also waiting to be reviewed." I don't see this as a duplicate. I can't find any other submission for the creation a of a Wikipedia entry for this artist team Hillerbrand+Magsamen? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
Thanks for moving my draft to article space. Your hard work is highly appreciated. I know it was because of me, but main reason was that I was fearing that AfC is backlogged, so may not my request be reviewed at the end. But Thanks for ending my fear .

Inline citations

Good morning --- on the draft Five O'Clock Steakhouse, I am not certain what I am doing incorrectly in the inline citation portion of my references --- please advise Roseee17 8/28/17 Roseee17 (talk) 14:43, 28 August 2017 (UTC) Help:Referencing_for_beginners#Inserting_a_reference is a good start.

Shatterhand

Hi, re this move from Drafts to mainspace, there seems to be a bit of confusion and a plethora of articles and Drafts on the smarmy subject! I've moved it back to Drafts for now. Further details are on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bond 25 (a mirror article). Draft:Bond 25 also exists (and pre-dates the Shatterhand draft) on exactly the same subject. All a bit of a mess, and I'm not sure which of the three articles we'll end up with in the end. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 06:15, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My Silent Bravery Submission 8/30

Hi Sulfurboy,

Thanks for your suggestion on My Silent Bravery. I removed the external links as requested, could you look over the article and provide any more feedback?

Thanks! 375mon (talk) 13:29, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I just was cleaning it up and leaving a suggestion for improvement. I did not review the article itself as I decided to leave it for a reviewer more familiar with the music side of stuff. Please note the review process is highly backlogged so please be patient. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:12, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Armand Marsick

I do not understand the rejection on notability. Marsick is in several major reference works such as Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians, has a lengthy (strange) article in Wikipedia France, was a major figure in the early 20th century as a teacher and conductor, founder of the conservatory of music in Bilbao, and has several recordings of his music.

Rejecting the article Catherine, One love is enough

Hello Sulfurboy, You have rejected my new article here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Laramie1960/Catherine:_One_Love_is_Enough#Catherine:_One_Love_is_Enough I am very much surprised because I have carefully studied the French version here : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_suffit_d%27un_amour just as is suggested on the help pages we should if it is the first time we create an article. I have not copied anything because I know these books better than anyone else, be that in English or in French, German or Italian. I added more than the creator or creators of the French sister page. It was me who added as many information on this page here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_(1986_TV_series) because I got my sources from the author Juliette Benzoni (1920 - 2016) herself. She was a personal friend of mine. Could you please explain to me why that page in French got away with not giving all the information you accuse me of not having added. It just cannot be that not all pages are treated the same. Looking forward to you answer. Friendly Laramie1960 (talk) 21:50, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • All pages are treated the same. I cannot speak to the state or reasoning behind the French article, as I do not speak French, nor do I edit the French wikipedia in anyway. The article needs third party sourcing to show notability of the subject, otherwise it will not be accepted. Thanks. Sulfurboy (talk) 22:34, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Page Issues

Hi, yesterday you approved https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simonetta_Lein Today it shows page issues-we received a image copyright request and the photographer already sent the release. Regarding the promotional allusions, as you approved it you may have noticed it was done strictly naming facts backed by so many sources, many of them from very high profile magazines. Please review and help fixing the page issues. Facts are facts, not promotions and we looked at other similar pages and done it in the same exact way but those pages have no page issues whatsoever. If a person have so many sources those are just stating the facts of what this person does and it is not personal opinion. Putela (talk) 01:47, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you though I don't know who I should contact as the name is not displayed. If who put the tags don't remove them the page will be not fixed? Thx Putela (talk) 05:57, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also the Wikipedia guidelines say that any editor can remove the tag. Please read again the page, there is absolutely nothing if not facts, tonight some ulterior minor edits were made. Again other similar pages are written in the same way so there is no conflict of interest, only facts. Please let me know as I would like to solve this. Putela (talk) 06:26, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • As I've already stated, I didn't add the tags. You need to speak with the person who had them. What goes on or happens on other pages doesn't make a difference on what needs to be fixed on the page in question. Sulfurboy (talk) 06:27, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sulfurboy, can you please guide me in improving the article Bacula_Systems_SA. The draft was rejected due to the improper referencing.
