Hello, JonnyDKeen
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username TheAafi, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Ryan Shanley, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to contest the deletion:
- Edit the page
- Remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}} - Click the button.
If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|TheAafi}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

Regarding proposed deletion of Michael D Norton page.
[edit]Dear JonnyDKeen, that is extremely helpful constructive criticism that I will integrate into further revisions of the article, immediately!
Thank you for not being dismissive.
Norton is relatively new and upcoming as a public figure. I've been following him on social media for a while now and have communicated with him through messaging. That's probably where my own perceived bias is coming from. I've been honest about this in the choices of my connection to the subject when first uploading the article.
Any extra additions to his personal life probably came from me just watching him, which I acknowledge can be improved in the article. So, I will definitely trim down the personal life aspect and focus more on his accomplishments.
He's made innovations to AI, a device called the uRay (which has received some news coverage I haven't linked in his Wikipedia article yet). He's working on some kind of new engine that TechTimes has mentioned and Fast Company Magazine is about to.
He is self-promoting in general. He's built a personal brand with a growing social media audience. However, this Wikipedia article is genuine, written in good faith, and I am merely new.
What I can do is focus primarily on what his company, Wolven Industries, is doing. Apparently, Forbes is about to publish something on him. TechTimes and several other magazines already have, such as InsightsSuccess Magazine acknowledging him as an entrepreneurial leader of the pandemic.
I believe he is worthy of being listed on Wikipedia because his accomplishments as an entrepreneurial scientist are having and will likely continue to have a very positive aspect on society. Judging from his trajectory as public figure, I just wanted to be the first to cover him.

Dylan Reid stats

Rick Oginz page
[edit]Hi there, I saw you reverted back my changes to the bio I had been working on for the Rick Oginz page. My intention was to make the bio more professional and concise. After my edits, an editor put a general bio guide at the top of the page (c. Fred?). My edits were to conform better to the biographical format. Would it be possible for you to revert the bio back to my last edit? And by doing this do you think an editor will end up doing the same thing again and pasting the general bio guide article to the top again? I know I’m too close to the subject, but until we find an unrelated editor I’m just trying to streamline the bio so it’s not as wordy and more objective. Thanks very much and have a good day. Benoginz (talk) 23:05, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Hey Benoginz! I think you may have made a mistake, as the last edits you made turned the Rick Ogniz article into an example biography featuring placeholder text and a picture of Socrates. I did post on your talk page about having reverted it. Did you realise these were the changes you'd made?
- I'm more than happy to help you streamline the bio, or whatever else you need. Just post here and I can help. But an article that's live on Wikipedia can't be left as an example page. If I were to revert to your edit, another editor would indeed come along and change it back.
- Also, ping to :@C.Fred: who may understand what's going on here better than I do. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 00:48, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your response, my last edit had the example page pinned to the top, but the actual bio with my last edits was at the very bottom as it’s own entry Benoginz (talk) 03:18, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, I see! Right, I'll take a proper look in the coming days, see if I can cut down the existing bio (making use of your content if appropriate) and get back to you. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 23:30, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Russ McCloud, I hope I spelled his name right. The decision was made to move away from participation based inclusion. So I think it is worth brining to AfD. If you made an honest attempt to find sources and did not succeed I would nominat it at AfD.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:05, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

I noticed people filling out my bare URLs, so I'm trying to learn how to make properly formatted citations. But I'm having a lot of trouble understanding the process. I've been trying to use the templates on the page Wikipedia:Bare URLs but every time I try, something goes wrong. Could someone point me in the direction of a simple guide or tool for creating good citations so I can make better contributions?
Sorry if I shouldn't be using this template since I've been around a while but I'm not sure where else to ask. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 22:10, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Books by women writers
[edit]Hi there, MarchOfTheGreyhounds, and thanks for all the books by women writers you have created, both this year and last. You seem to be aware of WikiProject Women in Red but as far as I can see you are not yet a member. If you are interested in joining, you can sign up under "New registrations" on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/New members. In any case, I look forward to your future contributions. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:05, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you! Funnily enough, when I resumed my creation of these articles, I had no idea there was an editathon going on until I saw a tag on the talk page. I will sign up now, thanks for the recommendation. MarchOfTheGreyhounds 09:08, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- So I can now officially welcome you as a member of Women in Red. If you haven't already done so, you might find it useful to look at our essays, perhaps starting with the Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:54, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Barack Obama's tickle fight in Indonesia
[edit]Hi. I've noticed that you removed the content on tickle fight article about Barack Obama's tickle fight he had in Indonesia. There was a source to that text published by The Huffington Post, which is to my understanding a credible source. Here is another source by New York Magazine, which also is credible source. So why exactly did you remove that content? Just curious, since I can't figure out why you did so. --Pek (talk) 17:49, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hey there, first of all thanks for being collegial and asking about my edit! Secondly, thank you for creating a new section with such an amazing heading.
- I ought to have been clearer in my edit summary. The reason I removed this section was because it seemed to give undue weight to an isolated incident. Even though there are sources, this incident seems a bit gossipy; one of the sources makes no reference to tickling and the other is a bit vague. Both are lighthearted pieces too.
- Looking at the article again, the entire thing is along these lines. A Wikipedia article like this shouldn't just list a few times something happened and got mentioned in the news. Instead, it needs exploration of the concept itself. Look at the references used for the article tickle torture and see how different they are from the references in tickle fight.
- I don't think the subject is notable and it should likely be redirected to tickling. Would you contest this or do you prefer I open an AfD discussion? MarchOfTheGreyhounds 06:16, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Pek what do you think? I will probably do something with this article in the next few days. MarchOfTheGreyhounds 20:41, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

DYK for Wandering Souls (novel)
[edit]
On 4 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Wandering Souls (novel), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the author of the novel Wandering Souls, about Vietnamese refugees, was inspired by an episode of A Very British History? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Wandering Souls (novel). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Wandering Souls (novel)), 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.
