This editor is severely lacking sleep, and is rapidly messing up, assuming Remsense had a mop, and clicking on wrong buttons when reverting vandalism. ABG may be too distracted and may not respond in talk page quickly. Please give ABG several days to put his thinking together. If ABG fails to respond under 3 days, there is a chance he has forgotten about the comment. Please ping him again, or whack him with a wet trout via my user page.

Trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Can you elaborate in the rejection of my draft

Hello! i see that you rejected my draft yesterday, and you commented that it needed "more citations", when the article is filled with citations. Could you elaborate/or say what needed more citations if you bother asking. Jaztie não é árabe (talk) 17:27, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"In Spite of a distingct lack of fighting on either side of the Insurgency in Ecuador, the strife continues and likely will continue to do so for many years to come, the Insurgency could grow with the recent Ecuadorian Security Crisis and the 2024 Ecuadorian Conflict." This reads like an essay
CAR had built camps in the region on the same year. - needs citations
After FARC broke in 2016, it´s dissidents started operating on Ecuador, in border towns with Colombia. - Either this has no citations or this is unclear
However thanks to the low living conditions and the constant spillover of the Shining Path & FARC, an insurgency would slowly emerge. - unclear or missing citations

ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 05:55, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About the FARC part it is not unclear, FARC ceased to exist in 2016, and groups started to split of it and continue Armed activity. They are called "FARC Dissidents", there's even an article about them in wikipedia. They also did armed activity in Ecuador, which i did add some of their attacks in the article, and sourced. Jaztie não é árabe (talk) 16:05, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, please keep in mind that a lot of people expect to see citations at the end of paragraphs in articles, with the exception of the lead, so it can confuse the hell out of editors. You might want to copy the citation from that article and paste it into the draft. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 23:42, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

? The citations are in the end of the paragraphs. Jaztie não é árabe (talk) 18:41, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And you didn't respond about what i said that it wasn't unclear? Jaztie não é árabe (talk) 18:42, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Phrases with citations in the end of the Paragraphs are retired from another article. Jaztie não é árabe (talk) 18:50, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And the citations are in the end of the phrase, after the point. Jaztie não é árabe (talk) 18:51, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from CharmanderTheDev (19:59, 1 November 2024)

Hello, I joined originally to edit the page on Factorio and improve information about the Space Age expansion, and was wondering what could be improved with this page to increase its content rating? --CharmanderTheDev (talk) 19:59, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the article seems to be at C-class, and getting it to GA (Good Article) status has the following criteria. Skipping B-class as criteria for it can vary on Wikiprojects, making it confusing.

A good article is:

Well-written:
1. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and
2. it complies with the Manual of Styleguidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
Verifiable with no original research:
1. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
2. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);
3. it contains no original research; and
4. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
Broad in its coverage:
1. it addresses the main aspects of the topic;and
2. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
1. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationalesare provided for non-free content; and
2. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.

As this is copy-pasted from the content assessment page, this may be difficult to understand. Please let me know if you have any of the criterias that you want me to explain it in a nutshell. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 05:59, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Jplugz (14:41, 2 November 2024)

Hi AlphaBetaGamma, My name is Jplugz, please I need your kind assistance to create a tabular profile and insert a picture in my article. --Jplugz (talk) 14:41, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at your draft, and it's really promotional in tone. You might wanna read WP:WTW and rewrite some sentences. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 22:53, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for advice. Very much appreciated. Jplugz (talk) 19:23, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Darrenisback232 (16:22, 2 November 2024)

Hello, very nice to meet you that's for sure. --Darrenisback232 (talk) 16:22, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 22:53, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes,I think you made a mistake

Jim Hunt's wife and daughter and son all have their own articles. There's no shortage of sources there and no responsible cause to doubt the bare notation of their existence without which his article feels incomplete. 71.105.190.91 (talk) 05:09, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

I have granted the "rollbacker" permission to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. charlotte ^👸♥ 00:05, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Jplugz (05:32, 7 November 2024)

Hi, please could you help me check to see if my draft is much better and devoid of promotional content. --Jplugz (talk) 05:32, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, it seems you have 2 drafts about the same subject, which one do I look at? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 05:44, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. I thought the first was deleted. Kindly look at the most recent draft. Jplugz (talk) 05:57, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well、do you want the 1st one to be deleted or something? Also, the 1st one is the User:Jplugz, right? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 05:58, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes please, I want the first one - User:Jplugz, which is promotional in tone to be deleted. Thank you Jplugz (talk) 06:01, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done someone deleted the page. I'll look on the draft in the next 24 hours. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 06:52, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please I don’t mean to bother you but it’s the draft I would have wanted you to review that has been deleted. No problems though, I would draft another for your review. Thank you for your time and patience. Jplugz (talk) 07:14, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page gnome) I see that another page you made, User:Jplugz/Felix Remi Adejumo, was moved (which means it's not at its old title anymore, and might look like it was deleted.) Was this the one you were thinking of? Nyakase (talk ) 08:52, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. That’s the one I was thinking of when I said it could be deleted. I’m quite new here and sometimes may have challenges navigating my way around. The reason for the move was to get it to the main space for approval, but I think I didn’t do that exactly as it should have been done. Thank you, Nyakase.

DYK for School lunch in Japan

On 9 November 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article School lunch in Japan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that crab is served in school meals in Toyama Prefecture? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/School lunch in Japan. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, School lunch in Japan), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Question from Ulfbercht (18:34, 9 November 2024)

Hello Radiant :) First time editor, i am at a confliction which page to edit. The page "signed zero" is a computer science term and not a mathematical term. which i would like to introduce everyone to. look up sqrt-a, it's empty. while -0 is taken by "signed zero" i have already committed to a professor the equation -0=sqrt-a, so my dilemma. one side of the equation is a blank page and the other is taken by computer science, my question is can i add a new page called -0 (mathematics)? but that would entail a distinction to signed zero (computer science)

too much to start? --Ulfbercht (talk) 18:34, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You should probably read Help:Your first article, which gives you a thorough guide to making articles. You should be aware that articles needs to pass notability guidelines, although mathematical articles are completely out of my scope. I recommend making a draft and taking your draft through the Articles for Creation process, which will prevent new pages from being speedy deleted.

Question from Jplugz (23:15, 9 November 2024)

Could you please help check my new draft. --Jplugz (talk) 23:15, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You really would want to make drafts in draft spaces. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 23:17, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry I don’t understand. Please, could you be more precise. Jplugz (talk) 00:23, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, uhh, you seem to be drafting in your user page. I can move it to the draftspace (Draft:namehere) if you want. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 04:38, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly do so, the goal is to get my article reviewed and published. thank you Jplugz (talk) 05:02, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Birthday!

Draftifying Draft:Mali–Ukraine relations

Hello AlphaBetaGamma -- When you move something to draft, you need to notify the creator where exactly it now is explicitly, which you don't seem to have done in your message, as far as I can see? Otherwise they are likely to just keep recreating it, as happened here. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 08:20, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
