Electric vehicle motor moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Electric vehicle motor, is not suitable as written to remain published. While it appears to be notable, it needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. There are large sections which are wholly uncited. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. I did this rather than removing the uncited material in the article, which I felt would be more disruptive. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask on my talk page. When you have the required sourcing (and every assertion needs a source), and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Or feel free to ping me to take another look.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:11, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing. A few points:

- The uncited material in the first section was derived from Electric vehicle#Electric motor. It is uncited there, as well. Related uncited information is included in Power band. Should we flag that content? - Added some cites. The remaining stuff is derived from the linked WP articles. Does it really need cites? @One15969:

I did not know you are the copy editor

Why are you opening the plot with "the movie opens" and cutting all the content out? Copy edits are to refine, not decimate. Darkwarriorblake / Vote for something that matters 18:49, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not trying to decimate. Please let me know of any errors and I will correct. Let's not edit war. Lfstevens (talk) 19:24, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I wasn't edit warring, I didn't see you announced as the copy editor and you went hard on the plot section. Sorry, carry on Darkwarriorblake / Vote for something that matters 20:00, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Hello Lfstevens, I am in need of your assistance to enhance the quality of two articles: Deobandi hadith studies and Usul al-Ifta wa Adabuhu. Could you kindly provide your expertise to copy-edit these articles and help improve their overall clarity and accuracy? Thank you very much for your valuable time and effort.–MinisterOfReligion ^(Talk) 17:40, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for asking, but at the moment I am engaged in a copyright drive. You might consider tagging the articles with the {{copyedit}} tag which will put them in queue worked on by many editors. I notice that the pieces have other tags that should probably be addressed before copyediting is appropriate. Good luck!

Speedy deletion nomination of Tesla Master Plan

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Tesla Master Plan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tesla master plan. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Elaine Kamarck moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Elaine Kamarck. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Reading Beans (talk) 05:47, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously I disagree. As a member of the Copyeditors Guild I edit articles every day that are far less notable than this one. Kamarck is a well-known figure, a published author, referenced in other articles, e.g., National Partnership for Reinventing Government, etc. What information would another source provide that is not already covered? Lfstevens (talk) 06:33, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Morpho (VTOL) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Morpho (VTOL), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 10:49, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Portopia '81

Hi. This page keeps popping up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Database Report. I eyeball it and tag it for copyediting; you make minor changes and remove the tag. The spacing problems which Beland picks up are:

Please correct them so we stop going in circles . Thanks for your help and all the best, Miniapolis 19:27, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd need more information about what you're thinking about. It generally doesn't makes sense to duplicate an existing article. You could add content to the existing one, or write something on a related topic... Lfstevens (talk) 12:17, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question about Pandurang Narayan Salunkhe

I was random page patrolling and came across Pandurang Narayan Salunkhe. I noticed you, last year, removed a copy edit tag with the edit summary of Remove tag pending delete for no references. Is there a reason you ultimately didn't start a deletion process for it? I ask because I've tried a bit to find any sources confirming they exist and have turned up nothing (but, I am not a speak of any language spoken in India other than English so I could just be unable to find them or they're very offline). Hope this made sense and let me know if you have any questions. Skynxnex (talk) 21:27, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't attempt to delete any pages. I was just letting the editors know that they were at risk as a way of encouraging them to fix the problem. Lfstevens (talk) 06:04, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, okay. Thanks for the reply. Skynxnex (talk) 13:09, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading internal links

In 2019 you added misleading links from Epistles I and II in Books of the Maccabees to Letter to the Smyrnaeans and Second Epistle to the Corinthians.[1] It seems unlikely that those links were informed by the pre-existing citation from Goldstein at the end of the paragraph. Can you offer any justification for those links, please? – Fayenatic London 02:44, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was just trying to add links. I am not an SME. Sorry for the error. Thanks for catching it. Lfstevens (talk) 06:05, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What Can I make edit for better impact and how? --Ccps2006 (talk) 07:44, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest that you pick a topic in which you have knowledge and interest. Then pick an article and go to work. Many articles contain outdated information and lack appropriate citations for their claims. If you can help with either of those, you'd be making a real difference. Thanks for asking!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Morpho (UAV) (September 1)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Needs things other than recycled press releaeses.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Morpho (UAV) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Question from 12Zainab (11:07, 25 November 2023)

How do I figure out what most needs my attention in terms of content and grammar both. --12Zainab (talk) 11:07, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My rule of thumb is to make an article say what it's trying to say first (copyediting). Also, make sure that every claim is backed by a citation from a reliable source. After the first two are good, then start adding content. Since most people are using WP on their phones, long articles don't get read. Instead keep your article short and focused, and consider breaking up one long article into multiple short ones. Go for it! Lfstevens (talk) 18:13, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
