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!

Hi, Thank you for reviewing the article. However, I am surprised that the article has been rejected citing "notability" of the subject. I have provided the various awards, recognition, media coverage about the company. These are very prestigious news companies and awards where the entire industry submit for nominations.

In fact in India, IIFL Investment Managers is considered as one of the most agile and fastest growing in the industry. The same has been covered in the various news and media.

In case there is something specific that needs to be addressed, please let me know. Will add/modify the same and resubmit.

Thank you.

There's actually quite a lot wrong with this article. The useage of bolding and section headlines is not in compliance with wikipedia policy. The sources listed are not properly incorporated and they mostly are press releases or WP:ROUTINE coverage. We need to see independent coverage of the company to show notability. The article also reads more like an advertisement than a neutral, formal article. Along those same lines the article is in all likelihood WP:TOOLONG for that company. I've copy pasted this reply to the article for reference. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:32, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stub sorting

Please don't use the {{Stub}} tag if you can find a more specific stub tag; stub sort whenever you are able. To do otherwise will backlog Category:Stubs. Thank you. (I realize some people aren't able to stub sort very well due to issues surrounding memory or feeling overwhelmed by the unfortunately long list of stub types; sorry if you're one of them.). -- I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 07:19, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. It's been a couple years since I've done WP:NPP, back then it seems we typically left it to others who were more qualified in stub sorting to come behind and pick good ones, but if that's backlogged, I'll try to become more familiar with the stub sorting process.

Dear, Sulferboy

I was hoping that I could get more specific feedback on why my article on Byron Rich was rejected. I know there is some issues with my reference's verifiability, Would you mind telling me which sources? I am convinced that at the very least six or seven of them are reliable. Also let me know if I have made any formatting errors in the reference section as well? I am hoping to edit this article until it can be approved,

Best wishes, Dave

We need to see coverage on the subject himself, not just articles that mention him in passing or have a quote from him. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:33, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 22:26:46, 1 September 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Aghnn123


Hi, Thanks for reviewing my article. I have cited over 40 sources. After the article was declined the first time, I corrected all the footnotes to change them to the right format. Apparently that wasn't the problem, so is there any way you could tell me specifically what it is? Thanks.

Aghnn123 (talk) 22:26, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Large chunks of the article do not have inline citations, particularly the first two or three paragraphs. Sulfurboy (talk) 22:27, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing my first Wikipedia submission. I'm a little confused that the draft article on Áine Ceannt that the link went to, was the exact same as the Wiki page on Áine Ceannt. My submission was an edit of the Áine Ceannt page, in an attempt to provide additional information. Should I submit the article again for submission in the future if the article, as is, remains unchanged. Thanks Tighnasi (talk) 16:02, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tighnasi (talk) 16:02, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to add to the existing article, then go ahead and do so, you don't need to write a whole new article and get it approved just to make edits or add additional information to an existing article. Sulfurboy (talk) 21:24, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Brenda Strassfeld

A tag has been placed on Brenda Strassfeld requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — JJMC89 (T·C) 03:58, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

16:01:14, 3 September 2017 review of submission by Murumaheswaran


The referee has suggested that independent reliable references should be included. I believe that there are at least two of them from the Wausau Daily Herald written by independent reputed newspaper journalists/reporters. Wausau Daily Herald is part of the USA Today Network and published by Gannett Newspapers. I guess that the references might not have been included in sufficiently prominent places in the article. Perhaps, if the Uhlig article reference is moved to the very first sentence in the article after the word "education" might have helped. The two Daily Herald references are in their archives which requires a subscription -- but the Daily Herald allows free access for a period of two weeks on a temporary registration. Please let me know whether either of these two articles in the Daily Herald meet the required criteria for references. Thank you for your suggestions.

The issue was lack of inline citations, particularly in the first paragraph. Sulfurboy (talk) 21:23, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please check for copyvio

Hi Sulfurboy and thanks for your work reviewing new drafts. Please don't forget to check for copyright violations. The particular one I saw was Draft:St Aidan's R C Primary School, which had extensive copying from http://www.staidansschool.co.uk/COMMUNITY, http://www.staidansschool.co.uk/, and http://www.staidansschool.co.uk/Introduction.

Request on 01:34:25, 4 September 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Shawnraeshannon


Hello, I am attempting to track down reliable sources to prove notability. All of the sources I have are either written by the subject or contributed to by the subject ... I found a podcast interview that has quite a bit of information, but it is the subject speaking ... Would this be an approved source?

It likely wouldn't be enough to establish notability. For a subject to be considered notable, we need to see reliable third party coverage. If this doesn't exist, then it is probably WP:TOOSOON for an article.

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Thanks for reviewing D'Andre Wright, Sulfurboy.

Unfortunately Domdeparis has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is:

Hi unless I am mistaken the subject does not meet WP:NHOOPS.

To reply, leave a comment on Domdeparis's talk page.

I did not send the article again for the moment....

Hello Sulfurboy, I have seen your message that my article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Laramie1960/Catherine:_One_Love_is_Enough is still not good enough. Of course it is not, because it is not finished - and for that reason I have not sent it again to be accepted. I was not able to work on the article in the last few days and thought it is okay to leave the page as it is for the moment. I do hope I do not have a time limit? I will as soon as possible add all the details and references I have. I will gladly come for help when I am stuck. Thanks for your message and have a nice evening. Best to you Laramie1960 (talk)

Hi

"This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability"

I have quoted from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, and the Australian Psychological Society. If these references are not adequately notable I would like to know how else to prove an Australian Psychologists credentials. Rachael can be searched for on both of these sites as a practicing Psychologist in Sydney, Australia.
