RM: Royal standards of Canada

Hi Seawolf35! Just a quick one – when you closed the RM at Talk:Royal standards of Canada#Requested move 21 November 2023 you noted that 'consensus seems to be to keep the current title'. I had actually made a comment coming to the opposite conclusion:

If I can be bold, I think there's a consensus to move to something. The proposed title is supported by myself, @Moxy, and @Indefatigable. @GoodDay supports 'Royal flags of Canada' and @DrKay supports a move away from 'royal standards', but both oppose 'royal family of Canada'. The only outright opposition comes from @Fry1989, for unknown reasons, and from @Miesianiacal because of WP:CONSISTENT.

*GoodDay did change their mind after this.

I was wondering if you'd mind explaining your reasoning, because from my perspective the issue seems to be finding the right form of words for a new title rather than the current title having strong support. Cheers, A.D.Hope (talk) 09:41, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

@A.D.Hope Thanks for asking. Like I said the previous RM played a role in my close. If I am being honest, I probably should have closed it as no consensus and left a note saying to start another RM to find out the new proper title. The attempt at making a Alternative Title Proposals subsection achieved little of anything. I do agree that people want something to be moved, but I can not for the life of me see where people want it. I see a couple of proposed titles and a general idea of it, but no rock solid consensus for a specific title to move to. So, feel free to start a new RM if you would like as well. I wouldn't be closing that one since I am already involved in it since I just closed this one. Best, Seawolf35 ^T--C 14:49, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. We're on the same page – I could tell the move wouldn't be successful after the 'alternative names' subsection gained no traction. I'm not in a rush to reopen the discussion, but it's good to know you think there's a vague appetite for some sort of move. It's always the specifics that cause the trouble! All the best, A.D.Hope (talk) 15:39, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Verbum caro factum est

Sorry, I reverted what you added to Verbum caro factum est, because I saw no connection to the article about a motet. Do you think there should be one about the phrase, besides John 1:14? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:03, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt I added to source ‘’the world became flesh’’ statement. In the beginning of the article that I cited it mentions the translation. I know that it is not directly related to the motet. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Best, Seawolf35 ^T--C 21:13, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

If you want it to stay out, I am fine with that. Seawolf35 ^T--C 21:15, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

I see, - will add the source that the KJV is. The article just started, - help welcome. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:18, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Question from Random userje (01:25, 9 December 2023)

How do I create a new Wikipedia page --Random userje (talk) 01:25, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Random userje. To start, read the guidance at this page about writing your first article. You can submit a draft through the Article Wizard. Best, Seawolf35 ^T--C 01:38, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Question from Richardfox79 (08:53, 14 December 2023)

Hello Seawolf35 I have completed 6 edits. When I try to Contribute, the button "Contribute" is not blue and doesn't lead to a new page, presumably where I might make a contribution. Can you demystify please? Richard --Richardfox79 (talk) 08:53, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Richardfox79, to edit a page, you click the "edit" button in the top right of a page. I think you are talking about the "contribute" on the left hand side of the screen, that is a header, not a button. There are some useful links under it though, like Learn to edit. If this doesn't clarify it let me know. Best, Seawolf35 ^T--C 16:49, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

BasiGo draft

Hello. Thankyou so much for reviewing the page Draft:BasiGo. I am aware of the massive backlog so this means a lot to me. I appreciate your feedback and I have made edits to try and make the entry sound in a more encyclopedic tone and thus resubmitted. I have also reviewed the sources used, however I honestly cannot find the fault with them. I have done a background check on each of them to ensure credibility and I did not see any unworthy criteria in them and hence did not see any changes to make to them. Could you kindly elaborate the specific error in them. Thankyou honestly for your time. Serrwinner (talk) 16:22, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Serrwinner, I recommend you read WP:PRSOURCE as a lot of the sources in that draft are routine press releases and PR bits for the company. For example, refs 2, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, and 20 just seem to be more or less routine press releases about the company. I am not saying you have to take them out but I am saying that they don't do much to establish the notability of the company. Most of the remaining sources seem to be fine on a cursory inspection. The main issue was the tone and puffery in the body of the draft. Some phrases that you removed, like "for their climate change mitigation efforts" are quite promotional in nature. Another reviewer will be along to review the draft sometime in the future, I don't usually review drafts more than once to be fair to everybody. If you have any more questions please let me know! Best, Seawolf35 ^T--C 16:42, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Thankyou for your feedback. It is highly appreciated. Serrwinner (talk) 17:29, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Question from Akash139 (10:08, 18 December 2023)

The primary reason for my creating a Wikipedia account is to make a Wikipedia biography page in the memory of my father Brigadier KN Thadani VSM (an officer of the Indian Army; Artillery). Aside from a few search results as listed below: 1. https://rejinces.net/2018/12/15/brigknthadani/ (Blog of one of his officers Col Reji) 2, https://rejinces.net/2018/12/24/brigthadanimountaineer/ (Blog of one of his officers Col Reji) 3. https://www.himalayanclub.org/hj/38/19/the-ascent-of-apsarasas-i-in-the-karakoram/ 4. https://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/12198129802/Asia-Pakistan-Apsarasas 5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apsarasas_Kangri (Refers to the Himalayan Club article listed at Sl. 3) There is no reference to his war/operational service as he retired in 1985 and departed for his heavenly abode in 2002; years before the advent of the World Wide Web. He was in active war service and deployed against the enemy during both the Indo-Pak war of 1965 [as GSO-2 (Ops) with 1 Corps deployed in the Rann of Katch)] and the Indo-Pak war of 1971 [as Commanding Officer 75 Medium Regiment deployed in direct support of 16 (Indep) Armoured Brigade in the Samba-Zafarwal sector, and fought in the Battle of Basantar and saw action in Thakurdrawa, Chakra, Shakargarh and Jarpal. The regiment was subsequently awarded the battle honour “Basantar River” for their war effort]. However, I find no mention of my father’s regiment in the Wikipedia page on the Battle of Basantar. There are other military efforts of my father while he was in command of 3 Artillery Brigade in Ladakh, Dy GOC of UP Area and Commander 9 (Indep) Mountain Brigade Group, which I would like to archive for posterity for the benefit of young officers and other ranks serving in the regiment and other units and formations. In view of the above, my question is whether such a biography would qualify as a Wikipedia biography page. You may also refer this matter to the Wikipedia Editorial Board. --Akash139 (talk) 10:08, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Akash139, only a specific set of people meet our guidelines for inclusion in a Article. Also please note that Wikipedia is not a memorial site. If you would like to write about your father, he would need to have significant coverage in multiple reliable sources.The guidance at this page about writing your first article can help and the article wizard can help as well. Now, from what I can see, your father is most likely not notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. Blogs are not generally considered reliable sources. If you need anything else, let me know. Best, Seawolf35 ^T--C 20:03, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Seawolf35, Thank you for your prompt reply. I am aware that Wikipedia is not a memorial site. Although, I am quite disappointed that my father does not qualify to have a page on Wikipedia, I find that the primary reason for creating this Wikipedia account is lost. In this vein, it would be reasonable for me to delete my Wikipedia account; however, I find that a direct deletion of account is not possible. Kindly let me know how best to close/delete my Wikipedia account to prevent its misuse by unscrupulous persons. Regards, Akash139 Akash139 (talk) 06:37, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

@Akash139 We cannot delete accounts, if you never need to use your account again, just scramble the password, don’t save it, and log out. However, I would encourage you to stick around and learn how to contribute to Wikipedia. To learn more you can look at the introduction to editing and the community portal. Best, Seawolf35 ^T--C 15:21, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Seawolf 35, Well, if you want me to stick around then I have a plan. I shall create 2 Wikipedia pages, one for my father Brigadier KN Thadani VSM (Indian Army Officer) and the second for my grandfather Dr NV Thadani (Educationalist & Philosopher). The best that can happen is that both pages are accepted; and the worst would be if both pages are rejected. After this effort, there may be some other related Wikipedia pages I may consider updating. After all this is done and dusted, I shall get around to editing pages of interest related to the military (history/strategy/tactics), geopolitics, economics, etc. I shall keep you informed as these two pages progress.

Question from OldBoldLibrarian (14:49, 20 December 2023)

Hello. I'm trying to upload an unpublished image that the creator has directly given to me with no rights reserved. The release rights questionnaire in the Upload Wizard has no option for my situation, as far as I can see. I have checked the forums and FAQs to no avail. Thanks! OBL --OldBoldLibrarian (talk) 14:49, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi OldBoldLibrarian, from what I understand, the creator gave you the image but they still hold the copyright permission. Please have them send an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with an explicit release of rights for the file. After, and only after they do that, you can upload the file to commons using the upload wizard over there. The response time will not be instant, it will take around 3 days or so. If this is unclear, please let me know. Best, Seawolf35 ^T--C 15:03, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

G5

Hi. Just wanted to let you know I declined your G5 request at Battle of Mount Handrin. Violations of Contentious Topic restrictions aren't currently included in G5, and the subject of adding them to that criteria is the topic of an on-going request for comment. I know the template exists (and maybe the category page too?), but they should not be used until the RFC concludes and they are officially added to the CSD criteria. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 19:17, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Felene vodka review

Thank you for reviewing the Felene vodka Article page. I would very much welcome some guidance here as I do not understand the full extent of the requested action. I created the page after four years of innovation and awards granted for quality and innovation. That said, I am without a doubt a newbie and have tried to consume as many of the articles on proper etiquette and objectivity as I could find. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year.

Draft I wrote

I wrote This short draft earlier. I see you are a page checker person so maybe you want to look at it? Njsky (talk) 09:23, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

@Njsky On a cursory inspection it looks like you need more significant coverage in your sources in the draft. Your sources just seem to be routine press releases. We need sources that go in depth about the subject of the article. Seawolf35 ^T--C 09:26, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Two of the sources themselves stress on the apparent importance of this company in the UK, so I figured it sounded notable enough. I'll work on it more. Njsky (talk) 09:30, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Tani Yuuki review

Hi Seawolf35. Just have a few questions about my draft. I went through the general notability guideline and the musician criteria and found it satisfied 1-5, 10 and 12. My quoted references (Billboard Japan) are also published, reliable, secondary and independent of the artist. Can you please help me with more detailed explanations specific to my scenario?
