Your submission at Articles for creation: Ed Spielman (December 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Milowent was:

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 people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Any significant profiles of this person in mainstream news sources? Just being involved with creating a TV show does not automatically show notability.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ed Spielman and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Ed Spielman, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ed Spielman (December 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by AngusWOOF was:

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Kung Fu (TV series). Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Not enough independent information to write an article about Spielman. IMDb is not a reliable source. This would redirect to Kung Fu, his most notable series.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Thank you for adding the 2021 IHOF Inductees

Thank you for adding the 2021 inductees to the Internet Hall of Fame article. Earlier this month I had noticed they were not listed and was preparing to open up a "COI edit request" on the Talk page (as I have COI). And then today I looked at the page and was pleased to see you had recently added them. Thank you! - Dyork (talk) 20:45, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is always nice to hear when a contribution is appreciated. Thanks! However, since you have a COI on IHOF, I believe I'm the one that should be thanking you. I am very happy to learn about the lives and work of the people in that article. That is something I believe I would have been a lot less likely to do had it not been for the work of the Internet Society. If my edit helps just one more person learn about the beautiful minds of people like Aaron Swartz, and the many others that have let their moral principles and visions dictate their actions, it will have been well worth my time. Thank you! FreeToDisagree (talk) 23:28, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unknown parameters removal

First, I wanted to thank you for helping out on this monumental task maintaining {{Infobox person}}. I've noticed the list starting off in a different place than I had left it every once in a while, so I was glad to be able to spot your work at Mary Alcorn. I would be more than happy to share my extensive regex collection that I've been using in AWB to get this task pretty well automated if you have any access to semi-automatic editing tools. Van Isaac, LLE^cont_WpWS 00:44, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's my pleasure to be of service. It is good that we share a common goal, and you are kind to make such an offer. However, I only know regex from coding, and wouldn't know what to do with them on Wikipedia. I don't know what AWB is, and the only thing I've done other than fully manual editing is a bookmarklet I wrote a long time ago. I haven't used it in forever though. Thank you.
