Desh Pal S. Verma Biography- Inappropriate inline WP:External links will need to be corrected or moved

Courtesy link: Draft:Desh Pal S. Verma

Hi Bobby,

thank you for leaving the comments on how to edit and correct the Biography for Dr.Verma. I am however struggling to fix the edits or know which edits to properly fix. Is there a way you can highlight all what needs to be edited so I can make my corrections? I am trying to have his biography published for him before he passes. For the External links are the links broken or how do i properly inlay them to fit your wiki formatting requirements? This is my first wikipedia page creation for Dr. Verma and I am trying my best! Any help of advice would be greatly appreciated! Vermadesh (talk) 21:19, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Vermadesh, I've removed the inline links, there is more detail in the linked project page explaining why they are not appropriate. I have also tagged the material that would need to be verified before the article is published, lest it be challenged and removed. There is also extensive listing of the subject's publications, typically it is best to only list the top 4 or 5 by impact or citation metrics. There are other websites whose role it is to host these lists, Wikipedia is not one of them. I've also dome some copy editing removing the promotional wording in the draft, I imaging another reviewer will examine this as well. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Bobby Cohn (talk) 21:07, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Bobby can you please review the verma biography one more time and make any more comments or adjustments that you see fit. I have tried to make the proper edits as you have requested! I appreciate your patience and willingness to help Thanks again! Vermadesh (talk) 16:50, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is not my practice to do reviews upon request; I may have a look at it if I have some time, but I can't make any promises. At a quick cursory glance, I don't spot any glaring issues. Bobby Cohn (talk) 18:51, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Hurricane Debby (2024)#Requested move 30 October 2024

Any particular reason it was closed as not moved? It seemed to be no consensus (4 in favor/4 against), and without a summary it’s hard to tell where the consensus against a move is coming from. 74.101.118.218 (talk) 21:50, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're making the mistake of counting votes, but even if we were to do that, half of those that "voted" support caged or prefaced their support as weak or as conditional to the name retiring. Bobby Cohn (talk) 12:52, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But yes, to further answer your question, it looked to me like people were making PTOPIC arguments that weren't gaining a ton of traction, coupled with caveated CRYSTALBALL speculation and sourcing was generally sparse, especially when asked for. As with any consensus decision, should new facts arise (and I would encourage a new RM to present them, of course), now or in the future, it would not preclude a new RM. But in the current argument, I generally read consensus to be against the move in the current state. Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:48, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, that makes more sense then. Thank you for your insight. 74.101.118.218 (talk) 20:21, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article Recommendation

Thanks for the recommendation to merge my article with another one. It has been really helpful and I am grateful you gave me the recommendation. I have currently merged the my article with the one you recommended. Infoadder95 (talk) 16:30, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Glad it worked out for you, Infoadder95. The project is better off for your contributions!

Help Regarding Citation

Sir, I'm very new to wikipedia & the person in that article is my Great-Grandfather. Kindly help me out & guide me so that my page gets accepted & published in the open space. HalderRemer88 (talk) 20:36, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @HalderRemer88: between my declination and your resubmission, all you did was change one citation and a piped link. I would caution you against spamming the resubmit button before actually addressing the concerns raised by reviewers, I would note you did something similar between the previous review and my own. Reviewers tend to find this disruptive and will not aid in having your article published.

I've added maintenance tags to the first two sections that I saw that didn't contain a single reference. I would also note the information in the infobox is most likely written because of your WP:COI and not based on any sources that I was able to find in the text. It looks to me, because you are writting about your grandfather, that you're writting the article WP:BACKWARD. Instead, only write about things that can be demonstrated by reliable sources, cite to those sources inline in the text as you have variously done throughout the article, and cut the rest.

It is also best that your declare your conflict of interest on your user page.

All the best, Bobby Cohn (talk) 20:48, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shvarkistanism

Hello, hope your doing good. I was wondering if you could tell me in depth, what an independant source is, because I think this is what was missing? Fkuma (talk) 10:02, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fkuma, please see the project page WP:Independent sources for the complete explanation. Best, Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:32, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Questions related to the wiki page

The page ‘Ten Universities, One Stage’ is related to a unique dance culture in Hong Kong, which is the university mass dance. The sources cited in the references are all the sources we could find for this topic. What else can we do to have more reliable sources? Thank you.Twinne Yang (talk) 03:45, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Twinne Yang, two things:

In my comment, I left a link to WP:REFB, this describes how to use your citations, properly format them, and use them inline. Please make sure to review that, and then if you have any specific questions I would be happy to help further.
Who is "we"? Do multiple people use your account? How are you related to the subject in your draft?

Thanks, Bobby Cohn (talk) 12:02, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
