Cerebellum, I wanted to check-in on whether you had seen my comment addressed to you [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Zendesk&type=revision&diff=1040786399&oldid=1014399573&diffmode=source here] and had any interest in taking a look.

How to have article class reassessed?

Hello Cerebellum, Alright I think I have the MDRx Rifle page suffeciently detailed over the last year for a class re-assessment from start class (complete with better images as well as many additional contributors too!). What is the process to request a class reassessment?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Tech_MDR

@FrozenIceman01: Good work!! There's no formal process, I reassessed it to B class for you :) If you want to take the next step, consider nominating it for a Good Article review! --Cerebellum (talk) 09:42, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good Article reviews by Vami_IV

Per your posting to WP:JOB. Here are my submitted reviews:

  1. Talk:Woolworth Building/GA1
  2. Talk:Light on Yoga/GA1

X –♠Vami_IV†♠ 09:20, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Great! There should be an "email this user" button in tools, if you email me your paypal info I'll send you the money. --Cerebellum (talk) 09:45, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Would it be possible to be paid with an Amazon gift card? That's where I've been buying my reference material. –♠Vami_IV†♠
Sure that's fine, I think all I need is an email address to send the gift card to. --Cerebellum (talk) 11:25, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another one :) –♠Vami_IV†♠ 07:05, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Talk:Magha Puja/GA1
Sent! Sorry for the delay. --Cerebellum (talk) 21:20, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you were still awarding the $10 prize for good article reviews almost at the end of November? What're the terms and conditions on that? I didn't see a(nother) listing on WP:JOB. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 00:59, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, those are just because Bryn initiated them in October, if you have any that were begun before 31 October they would still qualify. --Cerebellum (talk) 12:55, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, cool. Here's Talk:History of Grand Central Terminal/GA1, then. I have one more begun in October, but it's still in progress. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 08:37, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sent! --Cerebellum (talk) 11:47, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Final one: Talk:Parshvanatha/GA2. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 19:37, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Could you review Draft:Abd al-Masih Haddad? 92.184.116.156 (talk) 14:54, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I didn't see this in time, I would have been happy to. --Cerebellum (talk) 21:22, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removing "unreferenced" tags

Hi. I see you've been correctly removing {{unreferenced}} tags from a great many articles. However, it appears, based on the sample I looked at, that a great many of them are in need of maintenance in that they have only one source. It would be very helpful if, at the time you're removing the unreferenced tag, you would replace it with {{one source}} and {{more citations needed}} tags where needed. Largoplazo (talk) 11:51, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank you for the feedback! I'm not a huge fan of {{more citations needed}} because I think most articles on Wikipedia need more citations, it's not terribly helpful, but you're right about {{one source}}. I'll change my ways. --Cerebellum (talk) 21:55, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Conincidentally I've been working on Category:AfC pending submissions by age/8 weeks ago. Here's some qualifying work. There will be more. ~Kvng (talk) 04:30, 22 November 2019 (UTC) [reply]

User:Utopes's reviews of old AfC articles

Hey there! As I was wondering about why the "Very Old" category was split into subcategories by month, I came across your offer at the your offer at the Articles for Creation talk page! Now, I frequently review AfC articles, and I had plans to review old AfC articles today, but I figured I would make use of this opportunity! I don't plan to run you dry, but here were the articles that I got around to today. If you don't believe that a review is high enough quality, just let me know. It's your money after all.

  1. Draft:Yamaha Montage (Diff: [12]). Declined for advertising issues.
  2. Draft:Kevork Yeramian (Diff: [13]). Declined for not containing independent sources.
  3. Draft:Farrokh Shayesteh (Diff: [14]). Declined for advertising -> COI issues.
  4. Draft:Nokia 3.1 Plus (Diff: [15]). Declined for duplication, suggested merge to Nokia 3.1.
  5. Draft:Mickaël Wolski (Diff: [16]). Declined for not meeting notability criteria for WP:NFOOTY.
  6. Draft:Lewis Walsh (Diff: [17]). Declined for verifiability issues.
  7. Draft:Star Life (Diff: [18]). Declined for not being notable individually, suggested merge to Star India.
  8. Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia. (Diff: [19]). Accepted.
  9. Draft:Yieldlove (Diff: [20]). Declined for notability issues.
  10. Draft:Andrew Pawiak (Diff: [21]). Declined for not meeting notability criteria for WP:NFOOTY.

While a 10% passing rate does look pretty intimidating, I promise that this was just the selection. Hopefully you agree with my decisions; I started from the two-month marked and continued, doing most of the articles and skipping a few article that could have passed, but I wasn't confident would last an AfD in their current state. Anyway, cheers! Thanks for putting this on, and hopefully I don't have to refer to this as "editing for pay". The pay was just a bonus for doing what I already do. Utopes (talk) 04:09, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that's the idea! Some of these drafts can be very tedious, no reason you shouldn't be compensated for wading through them. How would you like to be paid? I'll just need your email address for an amazon card, or username for paypal/venmo. I suggest sending me the info by email, through the "email this user" button under tools. --Cerebellum (talk) 22:17, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Review of old AfC Submissions by User:Taewangkorea

Hello! While looking at the AfC talk page, I saw your notice on rewarding AfC reviewers, so in an attempt to make use of this opportunity, I have reviewed some AfC submissions in the 2 month and 3 month old categories. There are some 49 51 drafts that I reviewed from this category, with an average acceptance rate of around 14%. While this may sound low, this was just the random selections. If you don't think that some reviews are of quality, please let me know. Also, if I need to enable email on my account to get the reward, also please let me know. Also, is the reward for GA reviews still active? I saw that some people posted a notice at your talk page, but it does not show up in the reward board (I am currently reviewing a GA, with plans to do some during the Thanksgiving holiday, so I was wondering) Taewangkorea (talk) 20:57, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Those look good, I don't think a 14% acceptance rate is too low at all. I do recommend using email so your personal info remains private, but I'm not sure if you need to enable it on your account - can you see an "email this user" button in Tools? If so you can contact me via that. The GA review thing ended on 31 October, but I'll still pay for reviews initiated before then. --Cerebellum (talk) 12:59, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Cerebellum: I have sent you an email. I also reviewed Draft:Eusmed in the meantime. Is there a limit to rewards per reviewer? Taewangkorea (talk) 01:56, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No limit, I'll respond to the email tonight. --Cerebellum (talk) 21:24, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you agree...

I replaced the prod you placed on Esmail_(Afghan_leader) with a {{db-g7}}. Lots of people edited the article in the thirteen years since I started the article, but all those edits were to the article's metadata. My initial edit was the only edit that contributed intellectual content, which I think is what should count in a {{db-g7}}.

I have some really unfair critics, who refuse to recognize how much the wikipedia's standards have changed. There is no way any experienced contributor would try to put up a stub like that today. But it did measure up to the standards of 2006.

I'd prefer to have the deletion log say G7, rather than prod, so it can't be used as ammunition for the unfair critics who like to label me a "serial creator of non-compliant BLPs".

Don't worry, in the unlikely event an administrator declines my G7 I'll make sure it gets deleted, even if I have to take it to DRV.

Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 22:32, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me! Some of my articles from 2007 probably need to get deleted too. --Cerebellum (talk) 09:37, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ezatullah (Nangarhar)

You redirect Ezatullah (Nangarhar) to Eastern Shura, without, so far as I can see, any discussion.

Hmmm. When you took a good look at the revision history you saw that when a {{prod}} was challenged, there was an AFD?

In that discussion we discussed whether he measured up to WP:POLITICIAN, as the leader of a provisional government. My reading of that discussion is that we concluded he should be evaluated by the critieria of that special purpose notability guideline, not GNG. I suggest that, if that conclusion is still consistent with how POLITICIAN is interpreted today, your edit summary that you could only find one reference would be insufficient to justify redirection.

I did my own web search. This guy, a former member of the legislature, from Nangarhar, may be our Ezatullah. Or he may not. The Afghan namespace, for individual's names, is very sparse. In the namespace for individual names in the Anglosphere, it is mainly individuals whose parents thougthlessly named them "John Smith" who have a name collission. Afghans have the problem that almost everyone is at risk of being mistaken for namesakes.

What do you think about reversing your redirection? Geo Swan (talk) 02:02, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I didn’t check the history, didn’t see the previous PROD or AfD. I’ll abide by that consensus and reverse my redirect. --Cerebellum (talk) 01:12, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Jim Gant

On 25 May 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jim Gant, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Major Jim Gant of the US Army Special Forces has been compared to both T. E. Lawrence and Colonel Kurtz? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jim Gant.

Enlabs draft

Hello Cerebellum,

Thank you for your comment on Draft:Enlabs_AB. What's your recommended course of action? Adding more references?

Also, wanted to point out that the company is publicly traded. I know that doesn't make the company automatically notable according to WP:LISTED, but just wondered if it has been taken into account?

Cheers

Randomhero77 (talk) 14:29, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Randomhero77: Hey, my advice is to cut out low-quality references. Reviewers don't have unlimited time, they probably only spend 5-10 minutes on an article. It's difficult to thoroughly read 23 references in that time and for me at least, if I see press releases or promotional content used as a reference it makes me think the article is promotional in nature and I'm likely to decline it.
So for your article, you have five references for the sentence "Enlabs stands for Entertainment Laboratories", three of them are to the Enlabs website. Remove those per WP:42 - sources should be independent of the topic. I would also remove #1 for the same reason. Remove #2, it's just a stock quote and the sentence it supports has other references. Does that make sense? For LISTED, I don't know how Nasdaq Stockholm compares to other major exchanges. --Cerebellum (talk) 11:55, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Cerebellum: Hey, thanks a lot for helpful tips. I have now removed all low-quality references you mentioned.
Regarding stock exchange, not sure if it helps but a quote from WP:LISTED "There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable"
According to list of major stock exchanges, Nasdaq Nordic ranks 15th on the list. So I guess it is a major stock exchange?
Cheers Randomhero77 (talk) 14:41, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, looks good to me, but I'll let another reviewer make the final call. --Cerebellum (talk) 11:18, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Advantage & Forbes Books

Hello, Cerebellum! The sources show that Advantage & Forbes Books Inc. is not a part of Forbes. It is a separate business entity and independent publishing house. I believe it deserves a stub page for at least. I don't have much time on it but if you show me which sources are not good, I'll remove them and try to find replacement or cut the draft before re-submitting. Please, let me know what can be done. I'm looking for your advice as you definitely have a lot of experience and knowledge.

ARBPIA articles created by fresh users

Hi, the Arbitration Committee ruled that "Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations." The last part means that it was not strictly forbidden for you to accept Nazi Scouts. But it should have been clear that the article is deliberately provocative and has cherry-picked sources. It also contains some arrant nonsense. Brand new editors who are not permitted to edit ARBPIA articles should not have such freedom. Zerotalk 13:00, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alayoubi family

Dear Cerebebellum,

I would like to thank you for your wishing and message. Plus regarding my first page, I do apologize but I think you misunderstood the purpose. It's not about one person (Saladin), nor about the Dynasty. It's a page about a very influential levantine family and a part of it is the history. Nothing to do with politics as well. There is a need for it just like the need for many other similar prominent families of that region on Wikipedia. Regarding people on the list, these are very famous persons and the family still owns manuscripts and governmental certified family tree both in Syria and Lebanon.

I do please urge you to look at other similar pages and hope I can publish the page soon.

Kind regards

AAANDA (talk) 09:46, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AAANDA: Ok, I'd be happy to look at the article again, but it is going to need some different sources. Most of the sources now talk about individual people, and most of them are about Saladin and the Ayyubid dynasty. We need sources talking specifically about the modern family, they do not have to be in English. --Cerebellum (talk) 09:51, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Cerebellum (talk)

@Cerebellum: Thanks you very much indeed! And as said, I even took names of 100% authentic members because there are no reliable enough sources(even though other pages list no sources when it comes to members).

I also as you wished added two more authentic sources talking about the family in modern time. It's the family is very well organized and kept a lot of manuscripts and papers, it even the only one allowed to bury it's members where the sons and sisters of Al-Kamil and Saladin. here you can read an article on the lebanese famous newspaper alwatanvoice about stoping and following people from faking identity trying to make profit off it. Lastly I would like again to thank you for your time, it's my first article and I'm enjoying the experience and in this article it's not about politics or a specific person or an neutral personal use family page. It's about the heritage, traditions and history of the region.

Kind regards, --AAANDA (talk) 16:13, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AAANDA: Great, thank you for providing more sources! I can see that this page belongs on Wikipedia. What I am thinking is that since Ayyubid dynasty already exists, this page should mostly be about the family in modern times, do you agree? If so we should add a bit more information before I accept the article. The best source is probably going to be the موسوعة الأسر الدمشقية which you added. Could you help me find which pages of that book discuss the al-Ayoubi family? Then I can help expand the article a bit and put the finishing touches on it before publishing. I'm going to remove a couple unreliable sources as well. --Cerebellum (talk) 11:21, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cerebellum (talk)

@Cerebellum: Thank you very much for your beneficial advices and encouragement, I know understand so much more about sources and what makes a page special and worthwhile. I now deleted Notable people and Today sections and made a new "Modern history" section where I expanded on details and sources (official governmental sites, credible historians books, authentic newspaper;multipliable on the same subject). I'm planning on adding more informations about the modern history in the future and keep adjusting the page in order to make it better if it got published. I wanted in this page to be fully neutral and added no oral history or unreliable sources. I would surely love a native speaker and well cultured one like yourself (I read most of your articles and mostly I admired "Ta'abbata Sharran" a poet I read about alot ) to add his touches.

Kind regards, AAANDA (talk) 09:50, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I had a lot of fun writing the Ta'abbata Sharran article :) And thank you for your additions to the article!! You added some great sources and information, keep up the good work! --Cerebellum (talk) 11:16, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I noticed you accepted this new article from an anonymous submission, but immediately found it to be lacking in that most of its references are not in English (not only the works themselves, but the reference text is in Serbian Cyrillic). Furthermore, one of the article's early claims about religion is referenced to a work by one Ivo Vukčević, who I remember from earlier discussions for being a completely unreliable source. Sadly we don't have a ready-made WP:RSN thread about that, but you can get the impression from e.g. a search in talk pages for that name. So, this sounds like typical anonymous nationalist soapboxing, but that doesn't mean that we should let this go through in the future. If you notice further claims of ethnicity, nationality, religion etc in the WP:ARBMAC topic area submissions, and the reference isn't in English, please reach out at WT:SRB or WT:HRV or WT:BiH and have someone translate it first. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 22:19, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Joy: Thank you, it's certainly true that I am not knowledgeable about the Balkans and am likely to make mistakes when reviewing AfC drafts in this area. I only do it because a very prolific anonymous editor or editors submits lots articles about Serbian history to AfC, and I figure someone has to review them. I don't want to make demands on your time but if you ever feel like getting involved at AfC, we could use your help with articles like Draft:Josip Šišković, Draft:Lazar Dobrić, Draft:Živko Dabić, Draft:Ostoja Spuž, etc. --Cerebellum (talk) 22:39, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
More to the point though, since you've provided good evidence that this user is POV-pushing, I'll probably stay away from their drafts in the future. --Cerebellum (talk) 22:42, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It looks like they're translating other Wikipedia's articles, where referencing and NPOV standards appear to be way lower, so junk seeps in together with what may well be good info. I guess it's probably fine to just let it sit there until someone with a specific knack for what appears to be history of the Austro-Hungarian Empire gets to it. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 07:25, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cerebellum. My name is Taylor and I work for Zendesk. In compliance with Wikipedia’s policies, I disclosed a conflict of interest and shared some proposed content here a little over four months ago. @John Broughton: gave some positive feedback six weeks ago here, but I haven’t gotten anyone to actually approve/reject the content, make any changes, suggest any additional necessary improvements, or anything like that.

@Tskillin: Hey Taylor, I appreciate you respecting Wikipedia's policies. Looks like you have been working on this for a while. I copied the history section to the article and most of the lead, I did not copy the "Software and services" section because to me it reads like sales material. I left the controversy section as is. --Cerebellum (talk) 02:00, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Advice needed

Hi Cerebellum! Since I 've noticed you are experienced at GAN, may I ask you some advice? I have nominated Socrates for GAN.

Cinadon36 05:47, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Cinadon36: Hello Cinadon, good to hear from you! Sorry to hear that, I wish I could take over the review but I'm not feeling up to a GA review at the moment, I've mostly been working at AfC lately :( This has happened before though, see Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations#Open_reviews_by_Mikehawk10. What you can do is either relist the nomination (instructions at WP:GAN/I#N4) or request a second opinion, one of those two options should draw in a new reviewer. Hope that helps! --Cerebellum (talk) 09:41, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Ravic - Notability Criteria

Hi just writing to indicate what criteria I think Steve Ravic falls under in my draft, thanks in advance for going over the lengthy read.

I believe the following 2 lines are most applicable here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music) Others 1) Is frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable music sub-culture. Creative professionals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Creative_professionals 1.) The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors;

And potentially 3) The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews; or

This first portion will cover the musically involved portion of his career: Steve is well known within Melbourne's Heavy Metal scene, however this is pretty hard to find documentation online for due to the fact that a lot of this era of his work is either locked to various DVD features and documentaries which need to have either been purchased or someone online has to have released it in some capacity or they're reviews and articles written about him in printed metal magazines and newspapers are either lost to time and or overseas publications.

Here's a list of the most notable DVD releases : ( Dungeon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Rising_Sun , Doro: https://www.metal-rules.com/2015/03/01/doro-fur-immer-dvd/ The Poodles: https://dangerdog.com/2010-music-reviews/the-poodles-in-the-flesh-dvd-review.php#.YRZoU4gzaUk ) Since this is wikipedia however I can't just cite a review for facts, nor can I cite any Swedish or German articles about him since I don't speak either of those languages and can't just take someone's word for what they say, nor do I think I can cite the actual DVD's documentaries themselves in an article about Steve as that might end up being seen as a conflict of interest. I myself am a big follower of the Melbourne metal scene and own both the Doro and Dungeon DVD's (which is how I came to be more familiar with Steve's work).

The best case to be made for his involvement in his mostly behind the scenes roles would then would either be how often he is mentioned from online publications by those he has worked with, which ends up being very little as with most interviews the focus is on the artist. This is apparent even in articles and interviews written about his son Rocky Ravic and his band Mystery (Who have released 3 albums and have played internationally) that Steve manages and does music videos for, which can be proven by looking at the Youtube uploads of their music videos ( https://www.rockarena.co.uk/mystery-the-youngest-hard-rock-band-to-ever-tour-the-world/ & https://www.vjesnik.com.au/entertainment/mystery-rising-stars-of-rock-n-roll/ )

However there are crumbs of this like in the articles I did post on the Draft as citations, thought to be fine by me to establish the actual link between Steve and the bands mostly, however specifically in these two examples I would say there's veracity to the claim that he is a key part of having international metal music acts come to Australia due to the cost and thought to be lack of appeal at the time, remember this was in the period when Metal music was less favored for the Grunge boom that happened in the 90's, bands couldn't get decent gigs in the USA, let paying for a tour over in Australia.

https://www.metal-rules.com/concerts/edguy/EdguyAus/edguydownunder.htm "Then Steve Ravic, Mr Metal Warriors himself..."

http://www.loudmag.com.au/features/doro-25-years-queen/ "Steve Ravic was the guy who got us there,” Doro recalls. ... So thanks to him I was able to go to Australia. Sometimes all it takes is one person with a big heart and a deep understanding.”

Not to mention the fact that Steve assisted Australian music acts in getting to the international level like his son's Mystery or Dungeon.

https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/drummer-stevo-quits-australia-s-dungeon/ "I'd also like to thank the unending efforts of DUNGEON's manager Steve Ravic, as his everlasting commitment is the reason DUNGEON is now at the international level — thank you, mate!

I believe these prove the point that he was involved in the sub-culture to a fairly large extent.



Now there is the case for his dealing with the Croatian diaspora in Australia and the Croatian homeland itself. He has been featured several times on the cover of the Hrvatski Vjesnik (The Croatian Herald) a few can be tracked down on the publications public Facebook page which posts the covers, as well as articles within. I assume I can't cite Facebook posts as evidence however. In Croatia itself he has had web articles talking about his involvement with the music artist Thompson as well as other dealings one example of which where he judged a Top Model contest I cited, though they're in Croatian. On his public profile page on Facebook there are good overviews of his work in this case in English but again, it's a Facebook page so I can't use that either.

With his film career I've added articles that interview him, including two from SBS which is a major Australian TV and Radio network, one which is in Croatian and one in English. As for the rest I've omitted articles that probably do not match criteria as well as parsing it down to avoid further Reference Bombing. For example there is one that discusses his involvement with Charles Billich and his wife Christa on the documentary and Biopic he is working on them from The Daily Mail but was told The Daily Mail is not a reliable resource, so in that vein I removed an article from The Herald Sun and The Daily Telegraph but kept two, one from the New York Times and one from Saphiramusic.com


Now I know that there's a general rule of thumb against comparing to other articles that are already published and going "why not mine" but from an objective stand-point comparing to filmmaker peers and contemporaries listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Australian_film_directors and here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Music_video_producers

The draft isn't an enormous difference from many of those, though I did notice a few did have Filmography/Videography lists which thinking about it I may add to the article.


I believe that there is enough variety and mentions of Steve across the 3 major fields I've written about above to be considered a person of note, it was enough to engage my interest in writing this article about him after seeing he didn't have one when reading through the Australian heavy metal wikipedia article for some research I was doing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_heavy_metal

Thanks again for your time reading this and I hope to hear back soon, though apologies in advance, I only get the time to jump on when I have free time between work. MetalDarren (talk) 17:58, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MetalDarren: Hey there, thank you for the in-depth analysis. You've convinced me and if you nominate the article again I will approve it. --Cerebellum (talk) 10:25, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cerebellum: Hey Cerebellum, thank you for such a speedy response. You actually managed to catch me before my lot of upcoming shifts luckily enough. I'll be nominating the article again then. I hope you have a pleasant day MetalDarren (talk) 10:30, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

s.Pz.Abt.506 page

Greetings, Cerebellum

It has been a while! I've finally had the chance to make extensive revisions to my page on the 506th. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/506th_Heavy_Panzer_Battalion

My intent was to make some minor edits and provide page numbers, but some other users' edits butchered a few sections with both grammatical and informational errors. I've corrected these, made some additions with more detailed information (as I was able to get my hands on more sources) and have added inline citations with page numbers throughout. I plan to revisit the page to proofread again tomorrow, but I would like to ask if you would consider having a look at it- I am still keen to improve the article to a B rating.

As always, thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Wishes, Herr

P.S. I am still not too well-versed with Wikipedia's systems. How might one go about changing their username (assuming this is possible)? Thanks

@Herr514: Good to hear from you!! The article is definitely b-class now, I've updated the rating accordingly. I think it has a good shot at Good Article status, you can nominate it for a review if you'd like :) Here is the page that explains how to change a username: Wikipedia:Changing username. --Cerebellum (talk) 14:17, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you for the reply and the information; I'll be sure to look into the "good article" process. Cheers! --Herr514(talk)

Glen Tullman Proposed Updates

Hi Cerebellum. I saw that you had responded to a couple other inquiries from editors with a conflict of interest and was wondering if you had time to chip-in at Talk:Glen_Tullman#Suggested edits. I would like to improve the overall neutrality, reference quality, and completeness of the page. I got started by asking for a few small changes as I work down the page. Thank you for considering it. MelissaCarson (talk) 13:55, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MelissaCarson: Hey there, I'm not sure I understand the point of the proposed changes. The article already discusses his work at Certified Collateral Corporation and Enterprise Systems. --Cerebellum (talk) 09:27, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs review

Hello mr. I hope you are good I have an unreviewed article that needs to be reviewed by someone who speaks Arabic. When I put the last references I put, one of the editors advised me to look for an editor in the English Wikipedia who speaks Arabic so that he can verify the authenticity of the attached references, and here I have found you, sir! The article talks about a higher institute located in Giza, Egypt. I hope you can help me. Here is the article: Draft:Pyramids Higher Institute for Engineering and Technology Shahba3049 (talk) 19:31, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

أهلا وسهلا! It is notable based on the El Watan and El Wakala articles, it just needs some formatting cleanup before it can be accepted. I will fix it for you tomorrow (Sunday) morning and then accept it :) --Cerebellum (talk) 13:17, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting your support

Cerebellum, I wanted to check-in on whether you had seen my comment addressed to you here and had any interest in taking a look. No problem if you’re busy (or just not interested), but wanted to see if it was on your radar. Tskillin (talk) 18:24, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Tskillin: Sorry, did not see it! I am going to pass on this one - I'm pretty busy with grad school currently so I don't have much time for Wikipedia. --Cerebellum (talk) 09:33, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
