Glilot Capital Draft
Hi there - I've been editing again and removed a lot of information from the draft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Glilot_Capital_Partners).
What else makes it sound like an advertisement? All the information provided is unbiased, footnoted, objective, and accurate.
I'd appreciate any feedback so I'd be able to align the article to Wikipedia's rules.

- If it's possible from your end and since you already reviewed it once - would you mind retaking a look at it and see if there is anything that needs to be removed before I resubmit?

Hello,
What edits are needed to make this page a reality? I am confused by the comments left on the rejection. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joffejs (talk • contribs) 18:57, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- I wasn't sure that he met the criteria at WP:NPOLITICIAN just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline.

Review for draft page Draft:Zahra_Meygoli
Hi, I did some new actions on the page. I deleted invalid links But Wikipedia was really hard and complicated for me. I am very happy that more professionals are helping me to complete this project and it will be a great experience for me to introduce Iranian women artists to the world. Please help me and check to be successful. This can be a great resume for me to take a step towards becoming a more professional editor.--Karestoonegoli (talk) 20:34, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- Your draft Draft:Zahra Meygoli still has unreliable sources, Twitter and press releases. You can re-submit but I won’t review it again I'll leave it for another reviewer and we are not professionals we are just editors like you? Theroadislong (talk) 20:58, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- It was re-edited and Persian sources were added. The Twitter link and one of the unreliable news agencies were deleted.--Karestoonegoli (talk) 21:37, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank You for actually giving me information about what should I fix on the article! I'm giving my all to become a better writer and people like You are really helping us improve!

Clyfford Still Museum Draft
Hello!
I am reaching out to let you know I have added additional references to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Clyfford_Still_Museum.
In addition, other museums of similar size have their own Wikipedia pages separate from the artists. The museum page has expanded content, similar to other single-artist museums.

Slava Marlow Draft
Hi Theroadislong. Could you help me understand why you rejected Draft:Slava Marlow over at WP:AFC? I looked it over, and it seems to fall well within notability guidelines to me. Do you need help with analyzing the source material? I have native fluency with both Russian and English, and I occasionally contribute to Russian → English translations for WP:Translation. It looks like the subject is an artist who has charted #1 on Apple Music in Russia as well as on Yandex Music; that alone satisfies WP:SINGER#2. On top of that, I see some significant coverage in the Russian language Forbes article, a few Afisha articles, and some InterMedia articles. Could you clarify what you're looking for here? Please use {{ping}} when you reply. AlexEng(TALK) 01:54, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Advice
Thank you for your advice on 5th January.
I thought I would mention that I have just submitted my first article for consideration. It is entitled Tom McGrath, RTE.
I would mention that 86 on 29th March, I am a younger cousin of the late Tom McGrath who died in 1985. I have endeavoured to only give facts in the article and to quote reliable sources of which there are many.
Thank you again,

Draft: Eva Grant (Photographer)
I've added some more references and made some minor tweaks. I would like to point out these are not just passing mentions. Several are feature articles about Eva Grant, such as "All About Eva" in Amateur Photographer, "The Creative Camera of Eva Grant" in Glamor Photos and "In the Flesh" in the British Journal of Photography. Figure magazine dedicated a whole issue to her, in which she was called "the world's foremost female figure photographer". And the British photography press described her as "one of the most expert and experienced woman glamour photographers in the business." That should cover the requirement to show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) so it won't be declined. Feel free to make more suggestions on how to improve the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aronnax1 (talk • contribs) 10:26, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
Request on 18:58:17, 22 January 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by MediaExpert1979
Hi Theroadislong! Thank you for reviewing this for me. I was just in the tearoom asking for help for this page. Was your issue just that you personally didn't think my subject was notable? That may mean I didn't do a good enough job with the page and I need to work on writing entries then, as the person I selected is an important business person, owner of the only American soccer leagues, and commissioned the largest artwork in the Caribbean to date. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do next time when writing these entries? He also had 8 non-related national/international media sources. I have submitted two other entries and I am worried I made similar mistakes with these. I would love your advice! Thank you!MediaExpert1979 (talk) 18:58, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

I got a question
Hey you might remember me from yesterday, you took down my draft because it had copyright infringement from my own page, the thing is that I am an upcoming artists and I'm taking ym career seriously, and obicously I want to make a Wikipedia page because it gives great credibility to someone's story, the thing is if I write the article about me, how am I supposed to cite refrences if everyhting I'll be writing is getting brought from my head. Can I still have an accepted article withouth putting references? If not, could you help me on tips to make an article about me and getting it accepted? Thanks for your attention — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itsfrizzy (talk • contribs) 19:13, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- Itsfrizzy You have misunderstood how Wikipedia works I'm afraid. We are not interested in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 21:23, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- The term is "up-and-coming", not "upcoming." There's an entire essay here: WP:UPANDCOMINGNEXTBIGTHING. It's about the fact that we don't write articles about topics which might be big or ought to be noticed or are on the verge of fame. By definition, we write about topics that are already notable, which have already achieved fame or notoriety. --Orange Mike | Talk 22:09, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Concerning the article on Le Musee francais ...
I have cited a book on the subject (by Weissert), a book where the subject is delt with extensively (Sgarbi), an article in the official journal of the print dept. of the national library of France and an article in a distinguished Art History jounral (both by McKee), as well as library cataloging that is extremely detailed and extensive, two Wkipedia.fr articles, and 2 bibliographic descriptions. What further information would be useful? The qualitative conclusions are from the period of the publication, not our own, because reproductive engraving has not been highly regarded since the nineteenth century. Does the article need further elaboration of the enthusiasm of its reception? This can be found in McKee's 1981 thesis. The objective of the article is to provide a base in Wikipedia for the presentation of a tabulation of all of the 504 engravings in the publication, which has never been done, previously, and which would be a genuine contribution to scholarship and to general information, if available on the Internet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by George-Amherst (talk • contribs) 22:50, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Frieze Art Fair
Hello! Why is it unjustified promotion to add the dates, number of exhibitors and price charged for the last art fairs to this article?

Please reply on the article talk page if you prefer. ♥ L'Origine du monde ♥ ♥ Talk ♥ 22:51, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

The reasons you have given are very vague, and seem to me to fall into the category "I don't like it". I would also be grateful if you would actually explain why you think it wrong for the article to list the fairs, and why you think the space hire cost, sourced to a reliable source, entirely inappropriate.

- Theroadislong I don't want to ask for an apology there, and you don't seem to be engaging in the discussion. I know that the article is bad, I improved it, but you reverted my edit and have effectively blocked me from editing it. I repeat that I would like you to either provide a justification for calling my edit ""entirely inappropriate promotion" or apologise, rather than ignore me.

- Content you added included "Stands in the principal area cost £524 per sq. m, while Focus cost between £241-£338 per sq. m. There was also a Frieze Masters Art Fair for more slow moving historical art which had 132 galleries at a cost of £631 per sq M" this appeared to me to be rather promotional and un-required trivial detail. Theroadislong (talk) 13:52, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Theroadislong I do not understand how you could misunderstand adding the cost for last years show as promoting anything. I also do not understand why you consider the cost of the fair a trivial detail, something I would like you to explain - perhaps by explaining what information about the fairs you consider important.

My wikipedia page is not advertising it is a requirement from twitter for me to have a wikipedia page so I can get my account verified
My wikipedia page is not advertising it is a requirement from twitter for me to have a wikipedia page so I can get my account verified So what do I do to get verified? It doesnt even come across as promotional all I did is outlined what the site does. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tber617777 (talk • contribs) 09:23, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- I'm afraid we have no interest in your "requirement", outlining what your company does IS advertising. Wikipedia is NOT for merely providing information. A Wikipedia article about an organisation must summarise what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about them, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organisation. Wikipedia has no interest in what you want to say about it, only in what others unaffiliated with the business choose to say about it . Theroadislong (talk) 09:28, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- We also detest that Twitter uses a website that explicitly disclaims the validity of its content as a means of verification.

- It's as Theroadislong says. We get requests to approve junk articles in -en-help all the time because they want to be verified on Twitter or Facebook (which has a similar setup IIRC, but I can't find a page to confirm atm), and they tend to get mad at us when we both excoriate Twitter and blast their article as junk. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 10:39, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Not sure what else is required to publish on behalf of our artist
Hi, we are not simply using this as a promotional tool. We are looking to use wikipedia as in information resource to provide further information on one of my clients, Gabriel Reyes-Whittaker, who is also mentioned elsewhere on wikipedia (for example, in the article for Kelela for his production work for her). This artist is signed to a large indie label (Stones Throw Records), who, of course, has a wikipedia page as well. What other criteria is required? I see pages for artists who do not meet either of those criteria with pages here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Puserisrivate (talk • contribs) 19:23, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Using Wikipedia as a promotional tool is exactly what you are doing! Firstly read WP:COI and also other poor quality articles exist and then your first article Theroadislong (talk) 19:27, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- "We're looking to provide further information" is a line/paraphrase I've heard constantly when editors defend their promotional writing, and it is a distinction without a difference/argument by bizarre definition. It's not so much an argument as it is conceding that you're using Wikipedia for promotional purposes - after all, isn't providing further information about a (presumably) unknown entity a core part of the definition of promotion? —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 19:45, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Rejected my article
Hello, you have flat out rejected my article, claiming lack of verifiable sources. When you search the keyphrase PHP frameworks in google, google itself uses the Wikipedia list of PHP frameworks as the definitive list of PHP frameworks. For this reason, if we can't record it's information in Wikipedia, no one will learn about it, everyone will continue to learn about outdated (and in most cases abandoned) PHP frameworks which have wikipedia pages, all of which were probably added in the good old days before people such as yourself got to act like gatekeepers about what gets on and off Wikipedia. I could point to a fair few amount of articles which I believe hold no historical relevance and are actually dangerous to humanity, but this is a PHP framework, it is related to computing languages, and is an open source free alternative which strives to open the doors of web development to the MASSES and not the CLASSES, all of the current PHP frameworks only claim to relevance on Wikipedia appears to be that they host paid conferences and charge people money to learn about them. This is exactly why Trongate was created, to give the world and poorer countries a credible alternative to this, so they can put "Trongate developer" on their CV, and take these skills into the workplace and earn a living. What you are doing by closing the doors to Trongate before it even get's a chance to knock on the door is saying to poor people in developing countries that their opinion doesn't matter, their ability to better themself and compete in an open market is denied, and it's only money that talks in this world.
Please immediately revoke this decision, and do the correct thing by approving this article and allowing people to learn of real free open source resources that can be a building block to a better world for those currently denied this option. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jsmith09871 (talk • contribs) 22:31, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

- Wikipedia is NOT for merely providing information. A Wikipedia article about an organisation must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about them, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organisation. Theroadislong (talk) 19:24, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Also, it's a copyright violation, from [4]. Copypasting an organizations self-description and then merely removing the "our" is a pretty bad way to "create" an "article", though I admit it's labor-saving. I've deleted it as advertising + copyvio. Bishonen | tålk 20:05, 26 January 2022 (UTC).

Page Submission for Approval: Oxmose
Dear Theroadislong,
Thank you for your guidance with the review of the page:
Submission declined on 31 January 2022 by Theroadislong (talk). "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia."
Additional comment: "discogs is not a reliable independent source."
We used Discogs or MusicBrainz for some references as it seems it is used by many record labels on Wikipedia. Should we replace this reference by: - National Library (BNF), France - Worldcat - MusicBrainz
Do you have any other suggestion(s) to finally get the page approved?

Dear Theroadislong, I hope you are doing well and safe. Just to let you know that I have worked on the edits you suggested so we can approve the draft. I have removed the "discogs" not being a reliable source and replaced them as suggested by various sources that discuss about the recordings. Including press articles in several (online and paper) in several languages. The subject (independent record label) is now fitting the standards for this type of page, "independent record labels" present on Wikipedia. Thank you for your review and guidelines.

Questions about Le Musee francais
Thanks for authorizing and set up this article; I don't understand the modification of the opening sentence: "Le Musée français of Pierre Laurent or Le Musée français, Le Musée Napoléon and Le Musée royal are three successive titles for a publication of six volumes, collectively containing 504 large-format, reproductive engravings with commentary texts and prefatory discourses in letterpress" but hesitate to modify it, supposing that there may be some reason for the repetition of the title of article here that I don't understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by George-Amherst (talk • contribs) 23:03, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Should it just read "Le Musée français of Pierre Laurent a publication of six volumes, collectively etc" what do you suggest? The article title has to be mentioned in the first line. Theroadislong (talk) 23:08, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
Good idea, let me give it a try. Btw, where would I have found notification of your reply to my question? I posted a new question on this subject below.George-Amherst (talk) 17:26, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
Musee francais
Thank you for your attention to my article on this subject. A question: what does this mean, "This article needs additional or more specific categories. Please help out by adding categories to it so that it can be listed with similar articles." What are categories? I intend to add more sections with headings. George-Amherst (talk) 17:16, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- I have added three for you Category:Engravings, Category:19th-century publications and Category:19th-century engravings can you suggest any more? Theroadislong (talk) 17:26, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
I think the title you've made is not adequate. Le Musee francais alone does not imply what was published under the successive titles as clearly as Le Musee of Pierre Laurent. Also, it is a generic, institutionalized phrase that will confuse the reader. Le Musee francais of Pierre Laurent correctly designates a publication which he conceived and undertook. Perhaps the best title for the article would be all three of the titles of his publication, together, but this has already been ruled out by another editor. Please consider changing the title back to the earlier version, Le Musee Francais of Pierre Laurent. Thanks George-Amherst (talk) 22:08, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- George-Amherst I did not change this, check the article history. Theroadislong (talk) 22:11, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Request on 15:01:16, 4 February 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Hobobob
Hi
Not entirely sure how this works but I notice you have refused entry to Wikipedia for Dave Lewis (Welsh writer). I understand the reputable sources etc. but he is pretty much off grid as far as the establishment are concerned. He doesn't engage with them, and as Wales is corrupt to its core as far as the literary scene is concerned then I doubt he will ever have any 'news' stories as 'evidence' of his suitability, although there are some in the page I created. He has created and runs the Welsh Poetry Competition (the biggest contest in Wales), Poetry Book Awards, soon to be similarly successful. He also setup and runs the A to Z Writers of Wales database. This guy deserves an MBE or something for all the hard work he does yet he doesn't even have a wikipedia page? Crazy. Anyway, I shall try to find some more BBC / Wales Online links to Dave's work, if that will make it easier for you.
Hwyl Rob :)Hobobob (talk) 15:01, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
- In order for an article’s subject to be considered notable by the Wikipedia community, we require that it receive significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject this is what you base an article on. I hope you can find more sources. Theroadislong (talk) 15:09, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
- It looks like you have added many more sources since it was declined almost two years ago, you should re-submit, but be sure to address any possible conflict of interest. Theroadislong (talk) 16:03, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Electreon Wireless draft page
Hi, this draft article has undergone numerous third party reviews to ensure neutrality of language. I am not sure which text in the article is "too promotional." Can you please provide specific examples for improvement because the current make up has been confirmed through numerous editors to confirm to neutrality of language. Furthermore, it's important that articles are reviewed against the same standard. I've added to competitor companies whose pages have been published with far more promotional text (see article WiTricity). The draft text for Electreon Wireless has undergone several third party reviews to remove non neutral language already. Please provide examples as to how the current make up of the draft text is promotional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacobariel91 (talk • contribs) 16:55, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- See other poor quality articles exist I have removed primary sourced puffery from WiTricity. Here [7] you say "We ask that you reconsider the rejection and re-review the text" which suggests you are sharing your user account, user accounts are strictly single person use. You have re-submitted the draft twice with no changes I will leave it for another reviewer to take a look. Theroadislong (talk) 17:10, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi, a lot to unpack here. Hopefully I can provide some clarification to your claims:
The competitor page is promotional, yes - I used it as an example of what *not* to write. It was the baseline of text to understand as being not appropriate to Wikipedia. I am not sure why it was published or still live - I hope you can apply the same editing standards across all articles. It is important for Wikipedia's accuracy and verifiability.
I have already told you I have no relation with the company - you are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts. I do not have a COI, I have never worked with or been in contact with someone at the company. Again, you can believe whatever you want, but the facts are the facts.
I am an EV enthusiast who wants to make more information available to end users about EVSE charging and it is therefore my desire to get articles about charging station technology companies published - especially those on the forefront of new charging standards. By external third party reviewers, I asked friends who work for local newspapers who have written academic and editorial entry articles in their career. There was no pay, it was done pro-bono, because they too believe in the future of EV charging and want to make information about the matter more available to the public.
"We" is myself and my third party reviewers (friends who helped in removing promotional text and modifying the article text to be more neutral). The fact that you want to assume that "we" is a marketing group hired by Electreon - again, you are entitled to your opinions, but not your own facts. You are free to believe what you want, but I have told you the facts. There is no COI/contact/relation with the submitters/reviewers of this page and the company Electreon Wireless.
Again, you have failed to point out which sections of the text are promotional, and you have accused of me of inaccurate, baseless claims with false assumptions, as well as have written a false report about my account to Wikipedia's Administration. I will need to raise this unfortunately to Wikipedia's Administrations to reconsider your account's privileges and access. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacobariel91 (talk • contribs) 07:51, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

I have contributed to the text of other pages like WiTricity by reviewing drafts written by the submitters of that page. The third party reviewers are journalists for the Marietta Daily Journal, Atlanta Journal Constitution, and have written explanatory articles for EVSE websites such as Green Car Reports and EVInsider. They have no relation to the company Electreon Wireless. I don't think they want me to share their personal details. I have told you numerous times my purpose of writing the article, the fact that there is no COI, but you have constantly falsely accused me otherwise.
