Hi Qcne, thank you for reviewing our draft on The Fifth Avenue Hotel and giving me feedback on the inappropriate choice of language. I have updated the entry to be more objective. It would be nice if you could take another look at the entry to see if your concerns have been adequately addressed. Shspherical (talk) 12:00, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

My article on "Andreas Zafeiris"

Hello! May I ask what was wrong with the sources I used for this article and it was declined? Any help is appreciated! Thank you in advance ~~~~ Diana040793 (talk) 12:28, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Diana040793, all your sources were WP:PRIMARY, not secondary sources that discussed Andreas. Qcne (talk) 12:29, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Colt Balok page revision

Hi Qcne,

I recently sent you a message about how to open up the page on Colt Balok again for resubmission. It was originally rejected as not sufficiently notable. I have tried to include several secondary sources in the proper tone and POV to help resolve this, and would love to resubmit. I got a notification that you left me a response/message, but I'm not sure how to open it. I click on the notification and it takes me to a page where I cannot see your comment. It shows your comment as occurring on Feb 23 2024, but the most recent comments I can view are from Feb 28, 2024... If there is any additional help you can give me I would much appreciate it. Thank you. MoniqueEscamilla (talk) 20:31, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Question

I only created the page for historic reasons, I don't want the LinkChain page to as an advertisement but informational as its technology and creation behind it is unique and has not be done before. Globalinsightusa (talk) 23:35, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Globalinsightusa. Your draft contains four sources, none of which prove that this company meets our special notability criteria for companies/organisations. I also do believe your username is against our username policy, please change it. Let me know if you have any questions. Qcne (talk) 23:38, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

YouGov article

Hi Qcne,

I hope you are well! Thank you for your kind feedback on Wikipedia:Teahouse regarding the YouGov article, I am very glad you think my proposed edits look fine.

As you may have seen, the Who’s Who source you called out is already used in the article, so I have not looked to change that.

I have now updated the formatting as you suggested and wanted to ask if you would be able to implement the suggested edits?

Thank you for your time

Asfarmer (talk) 16:56, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Asfarmer, oh yes I did see your reply but I forgot to action it (sorry). I'll see if I can merge in those changes tonight for you. Qcne (talk) 16:58, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

@Qcne Thank you for your help! I look forward to seeing the changes when you get the time. Thanks again.

Asfarmer (talk) 10:44, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

That's been done. :) Qcne (talk) 17:38, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

@Qcne Thank you for your help with all of this!

I have found a more authoritative source about YouGov Profiles which presents a more accurate representation of it. I have had a go at a first draft here:

//

Also in 2014, YouGov launched Profiles, an audience segmentation tool.^[1]

//

The leading independent pollster ratings have also just been issued on 538.com (https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/). I would be interested in your view about where this information could be included – potentially under methodology?

I have had a go at drafting this:

//

In February 2024, FiveThirtyEight ranked YouGov as fourth out of more than 300 pollsters in its ratings, based on analysis of 624 YouGov polls.^[2]

//

Thanks again for all your help so far and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Asfarmer (talk) 11:53, 1 March 2024 (UTC) Asfarmer (talk) 11:53, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

I've added those both in. The 538 citation and sentence could be construed as a little promotional: I am putting it in as it's an edge case but another Editor may remove it. Qcne (talk) 08:54, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks very much for all your help on this Qcne! Asfarmer (talk) 22:42, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

User talk:R.B.Everything

Really, @R.B.Everything? You didn't think sharing referral links to a crypto exchange would not be counted as spam? Are you stupid? You're a good editor, but that doesn't excuse this comment. Don't do it again.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:57, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

@Bbb23 You're right, of course. I've had a bad weekend and am in a bad mood, and taking that out on editors. I'm off to bed and will take a break. Qcne (talk) 23:01, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I hope things improve tomorrow.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:03, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

"Are you stupid"

Please don't say that. Spammers have no common sense in that regard and no concept of our values and our hatred of spam. I always try to be more polite than the situation warrants, because they are not really trying to be dense or obnoxious. Their values and goals are just completely and incompatibly geared to promoting their whatever. Thanks. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 00:20, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Tiffany Henyard

Would you consider re-reviewing Draft:Tiffany Henyard, which is again up for AFC. It's been awaiting review for some time now. SecretName101 (talk) 08:32, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi :@SecretName101. That is looking a lot better. Some feedback:

The Daily Mail and Daily Caller are both depreciated sources so shouldn't be used.
The US Sun is generally unreliable, so we'd prefer a different source.
Not sure how relevant the Good Burger restaurant section is?
A few sentences throughout the draft are written in a non-neutral way. Be careful you're not using the Wikipedia voice to lead readers down a particular opinion: you should instead neutrally and with balance report what reliable sources state: that's all. Any emotive language should be a quote.

Qcne (talk) 14:02, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

@Qcne those sources are not used to cite information. They are used in a list that provides examples of international/national publicstions covering Henyard. If you’d read the claim they follow and the head of the cite list they are in, it’s simply examples of international and national coverage. This multi-source cite is simply used to support the claim that she had received attention in such publications, not to support anything else. SecretName101 (talk) 15:46, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Which sentences concern you? SecretName101 (talk) 15:48, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Draft European arms initiative

Hi. Gave another sources, is it fine now? Thx.--178.255.168.45 (talk) 13:11, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

I don't think there's enough there for a stand-alone article, unfortunately. It may be WP:TOOSOON or you might have better luck inserting this into an existing article such as Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine. Qcne (talk) 14:03, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Found more relevant source at https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/13/ukraine-russia-war-czech-artillery-155mm-shells-avdiivka/

It can be regard only as "IMO", but this topic is quite important in current situation of Ukraine Army. 178.255.168.45 (talk) 00:41, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Today another news about this, but nothing on wikipedia. Well, I am leaving this and hope someone here will eventually take notice of lack of Ukrainian ammunition and all efforts to stop these shortages. Bye and have nice day.--178.255.168.45 (talk) 13:14, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Octavius J. Johnson

Yes we all know IMDB is self edited and therefore an unsafe. The stub I created does not rely on that. It relies on another, less discussed but just as well established, Wikiprinciple: tv shows and films are their own references, the same way that eg novels and plays are. We know Gertrude is Hamlet’s mother - and do not need another reference in addition to the play Hamlet. We know Octavius J. Johnson starred in those films/tv shows because the credits show that.

I am not going to carry on putting this right but you might like to. 31.124.106.27 (talk) 09:53, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello IP editor- no your draft does not, it only has a single source to IMDb? Qcne (talk) 13:59, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

As I thought, you do not understand. No source is needed, just as no source is needed to write Gertrude is Hamlet’s mother. 31.124.106.27 (talk) 07:33, 16 March 2024 (UTC) The play ‘Hamlet’ *is* the source. 31.124.106.27 (talk) 07:35, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Draft: Carl Runefelt

Hello, I wanted to know how I could help the process and get the article published. Have I not cited enough sources? The subject of the article is a very well-known investor and entrepreneur with F1 investments and more. The topic of the article seems notable as per the Notability guidelines. Your guidance on this matter would be much appreciated. T.rabia (talk) 05:42, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
