Your submission at Articles for creation: Containerization (computing) (July 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Novem Linguae 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. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and 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:

The CIO source is good. Appears to be a newspaper/magazine with an editor and an editorial process. Need a couple more sources like that. Business websites on their own are not a WP:GNG passing source since they are WP:SELFPUBLISHED. Books or academic journal articles would also work.

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:Containerization (computing) 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:Containerization (computing), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sindhu Central University (August 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Muhandes 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 organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and 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:

This university does not exist and may never exist. As such, significant coverage is not likely and all the sources refer to one government decision. Once the bill becomes an act and the university starts operation, this will be more likely.

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:Sindhu Central University 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:Sindhu Central University, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Intas Pharmaceuticals, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Durham.

Draft:Pushpak Viman

Hello reviewer, Thank for reviewing my article, but I have decided to get it reviewed again as, for example, if an article on a brand of cars talks about the vehicles under it, it would only mention the main features, history, etc and not about the whole thing. It also mentions the “main article” for the particular vehicle, which allows readers to view the full description. Hope you understand !!! Marvelcanon1 (talk) 12:54, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I was meaning to say that it only mentions is features, and not it’s history, etc Marvelcanon1 (talk) 12:56, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled granted

Hi RPSkokie, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! – Joe (talk) 08:46, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I might have spooked you by mentioning the oversight committee in COIN, but it's really a run-of-the-mill thing. You did the right thing by removing the text and throughout the COIN thread up until this point you have acted in good faith. I appreciate you bringing up the issue at COIN for it to be addressed with, and hope this cute lil' cat will help you feel the mistake isn't that big, after all.

The way there is paved with good intentions, WP:AGF, and a willingness to both admit to and learn from mistakes. From what I see you're certainly on that path and I hope you're not discouraged now. I understand the talk/wikipedia sections can be quite stressful to someone that is new and mostly edits within mainspace. You can always come to my talk page or ping me if you have any questions :). Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 11:49, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RPSkokie, I just want to make sure that you have requested oversight. It would look best for you if you do it before someone else does. If you are unsure about how, see WP:RFO. Happy New Year! --SVTCobra 13:47, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Let me check with WP:RFO then. RPSkokie (talk) 13:49, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SVTCobra request raised with oversight team. But I didnt include Ptrnext in it based on your comment at COIN noticeboard. RPSkokie (talk) 13:58, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Apologize

I am sorry if my word is too harsh but I am very disappointed as I am not promoting Pixelfed. I use several sources to make this article since there is not lots of sources discussing Pixelfed yet. I wish you understand those facts. Thank you. Bertverse (talk) 13:19, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is okay. I can understand your frustration. May I suggest you to have a word with User:A._C._Santacruz. She always helps me, she might help you too. RPSkokie (talk) 13:24, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping RPSkokie. I have added some comments on the draft talk page. I hope they're helpful to you Bertverse and you stick around.

Bajaj Allianz General Insurance reirect on page

Dear RP Sokokie

This is cricfandream here and I work in the online marketing team for Bajaj Allianz General Insurance. We have noticed that a few weeks back you have directed our Wiki page to Bajaj Finserv. Although we come under the same parent company, we are different from bajaj finserv and have a proper license to sell Insurance products apart from life to our customers. Since the two companies are different, we would request you to kindly remove this redirection and re instate our original page. We can discuss this if you want. Awaiting your reply

- Draft:Basis Global Technologies (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello, I hope you're well. I am currently drafting this article -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Basis_Global_Technologies.

First, full disclosure, I am a paid employee of the organization that is the subject of the article, and this is disclosed in my profile.

You left a comment saying it was not accepted and the reasons were because (1) it read like an advertisement and that (2) it did not show significant coverage about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.

Regarding reason #1, I have seen articles of other companies in our peer set, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pubmatic, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenX_(company), and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criteo, that have similar type of language to describe their business. I acknowledge that their general description of their business up top is much shorter that my article. Do you have guidance on what parts of the language I use that is not acceptable?

Regarding reason #2, I have cited all of the subject's major events and claims via 57 articles from notable industry media outlets. These are trade outlets and so are generally more familiar in the advertising industry. However, they are media outlets that typically garner thousands of unique viewers each month. In comparison to the other companies I mentioned above that have published wikipedia pages, many of the outlets from which I have cited in my entry are the same. Some of the citations I include are from fairly mainstream outlets such as Fortune, Forbes, Bloomberg, and Crain's Chicago Business. Do you have guidance on what types of sources I need beyond the business and trade media outlets that are used for the entry?

Thanks for reviewing.

Regarding your decline advise on Wikipedia Draft:Shubhra_Mohanty

Hello, RPSkokie, Greetings! I am writing concerning your rejection of my review of the draft page for Shubhra_Mohanty. Please forgive my persistence, but I have read up the WP:GNG, and I truly have reason to believe that I have respected the rules to be neutral and to add independent, notable, reputable references to show the verifiability and notability of the subject. The several references in the article presently shows significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (quoting from your comment).

As many as 4 verifiable live references from The_Economic_Times, Business_Standard, Outlook_(Indian_magazine) and Zee Business (operated by Zee_Media_Corporation#Current_channels) (All of which India's leading and very respectable print/online news agencies). In line with WP:GNG, these are indeed "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
As many as 2 verifiable live references from Tofler India (see https://www.tofler.in/about) and Outstanding Speakers Bureau (see Raheel_Khursheed) (also see https://outstandingspeakersbureau.in/). In line with WP:GNG, these are indeed "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". Both of these sources are heavily referenced in several other articles in Wikipedia.
As many as 4 verifiable live references from "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject", in line with WP:GNG, viz., Mid-Day, Daily News & Analysis (DNA) - run by Zee_News, Yahoo!_News.

Can you please let me know the exact places in the page where I do not conform to the rules? Just need to understand.

Moreover, with deep humbleness, I would like to cite some examples: The following articles are either supported by similar, fewer in number, or comparitively ill-referenced than Draft:Shubhra_Mohanty Article - that you have declined. Please help me understand, if Draft:Shubhra_Mohanty doesn't deserve a place in Wikipedia, how can articles like the following deserve to have a place in the Wikipedia?

I can cite a several more examples, but I am sure I have been able to express my point.

NOTE: I have nothing personal against these above-mentioned articles. I am just saying - if these can be published part of Wikipedia, why not Shubhra Mohanty? Would appreciate an early response and suitable action. --Wadlin13 (talk) 19:00, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Re: AFC: Hacker Noon

Re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Hacker_Noon

Hello there,

HackerNoon has had articles written either about them in detail – or with notable mentions- in secondary, independent, reliable sources since 2018.

These sources include:

The Guardian' (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/sep/21/extreme-biohacking-tech-guru-who-spent-250000-trying-to-live-for-ever-serge-faguet),

Wired (https://www.wired.com/story/opinion-let-users-own-the-tech-companies-they-help-build/ and https://www.wired.com/story/wikipedia-online-encyclopedia-best-place-internet/),

ReadWrite (https://readwrite.com/2019/07/17/hacker-noon-rips-out-mediums-software-replaces-it-with-their-own/)

, and more (linked below). HackerNoon does not only meet the basic criteria of Wikipedia notability but surpasses it.

Further to this, HackerNoon is frequently linked to as a notable resource in publications like:

Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2021/11/14/why-you-absolutely-must-invest-in-the-metaverse/?sh=7de304083a9b)

Harvard Law Review text(https://www.google.ca/books/edition/Harvard_Law_Review_Volume_131_Number_6_A/E6VUDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=hackernoon+harvard&pg=PT241&printsec=frontcover),

a plethora of published books on

“Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added”

On what grounds should additional sources be added?

According to your own policies(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability): “There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected.” This post not only meets that but surpasses it.

Holding this post to standards unreasonably higher than seemingly the overwhelming majority of Wikipedia articles seems to be an act of bad faith.

This post is very comparable to companies of a similar size:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoinDesk;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup and the language isn’t far off from what appears in a company from your featured articles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems

“Reads like an advert”

I was previously advised to simply summarize what sources have said about the Company by a senior editor. I have done this. The post is tastefully sized and comparable to approved Wikipedia pages of companies of a similar size.

If there is a phrase(s) that needs to be changed, the iteration effort is likely to be minimal. It’s unlikely to be outside the scope of suggestions a reviewer can make. Feel free to tweak it.

In what way are the below sources not adequate for their intended purpose? Please be specific. I’m quite happy to clarify in detail how they qualify.

Which sources do you find to not be independent of the subject?

The vast majority of the sources linked are indeed independent from the Company team. If you don’t like a particular source you, as an editor, should probably be open to simply removing it from the list. I included extra to showcase how many people recognize this Company around the internet.

Some sources — especially regarding funding— are simply used to showcase a statement of fact. I have seen this done on Wikipedia time and time again.

(Actually, the idea to exclude such things in the honor of accuracy seems questionable. You can see how this stipulation impacts pages like SpaceX – where instead of linking to the specs on their company website, misinformed ‘valid’ external sources are linked to leading to lack of accurate technical information.)

Furthermore, it is well within the interest of Wikipedia to note publicly sourced donations/investments for companies. In honor of public transparency. Especially if these funding campaigns were mentioned by multiple outlets. Again, this information has been provided.

I have followed your policies, I have operated in an honest fashion, I'm very surprised with the way my post was treated.

Multiple past deletions. WP:CITEKILL. Seek help at WP:TEA. RPSkokie (talk) 06:02, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there, this response seems very inconsistent. You rejected the post inappropriately based on ‘notability grounds’ and asked for more sources. Now you are listing entirely different reasonings, one of which is ‘WP:CITEKILL’ which is the exact opposite of your initial request, to "provide more sources."

You further have failed to provide adequate sources to back up the , ‘multiple deletions’ rationale as being a valid one for rejecting a post.

I would like to encourage you to review the conduct required within your own organization: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines) Your conduct seems somewhat inconsistent with what is advised and required within Wikipedia’s own standards. Especially when it comes to editor conduct.

Re: Proposed article for "ETR (Enterprise Technology Research)"

Thank you for your quick review of this draft article on ETR, RPSKokie! As someone who was quite active as a Wikipedia editor a decade ago (but with a username I cannot log in to anymore, hence the new username), I understand and appreciate the time you put into improving the quality of Wikipedia. I've made some significant changes to the article and respectfully offer a rationale for those changes below, and I request your re-review of the article when you are able.

As requested, I added several citations/references to support the content of the article, including links to international media coverage mentioning ETR, academic papers that cite ETR research, an NGO report citing ETR data, and major investor blogs citing ETR data. While the mentions of ETR and its survey data are often brief in these many references, the citations are substantive and not in passing. Many of the articles referenced are about, say, work-from-home trends brought on by the pandemic, and then ETR (and sometimes another one or two reputable research and advisory firms like Gartner) are cited early in the article as a way to establish in objective terms that the work-from-home trend is indeed happening and how pervasive it is. Then the rest of the article expounds on that. The role of market research firms like ETR is to provide this raw, scientific data to industry analysts, investors, journalists, policymakers, and academics so they may build their own arguments and commentary from that foundation of facts. Any media article that would make excessive mention of a particular research firm's findings would be suspect, actually, making the media outlet seem like a paid partner of the research firm.

As for noteworthiness, I'm unsure what constitutes enough references, because when I look at other marketing research and polling firms with Wikipedia entries I see a wide range in quality and quantity of references. From this list of marketing research firms, for instance, you have some fairly robust pages like those from (rather undisputedly the most noteworthy research and advisory firm in IT) Gartner with 17 references to a mix of major and minor sources, where they are often also mentioned briefly (though not "in passing" as I argue above). But then you have the likes of Decision Analyst that, despite being around for 44 years and with 150 employees, has one minor mention in one small local newspaper as a reference. And 12-yr-old Canadian polling firm Abacus Data with just five references, all of them to now-dead URLs. The best solution here, of course, is just to bring the quality up for all of these firms, but in the meantime, it seems an uneven set of standards to bar a firm like ETR from getting to have a page.

Finally, another editor came in right away and renamed the article from "ETR (Enterprise Technology Research)" to just "Enterprise Technology Research." The accurate name of the company is just "ETR," but given there are several uses of ETR on Wikipedia, I added the parenthetical to its former name. It would not be accurate to have the ETR entry exist only as "Enterprise Technology Research," and so I also would like that reverted back to the "ETR (Enterprise Technology Research)" format or something similar if possible. But I don't know how to undo that edit. Shall I talk to that editor separately or is that a fix you can do for me as well?

Thank you and I look forward to your reply! Darenbrabham (talk) 17:12, 4 March 2022 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Darenbrabham (talk • contribs) 17:10, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Apache Hop (April 3)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Numberguy6 was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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:Apache Hop 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:Apache Hop, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello RPSkokie! Your additions to Ratna Chuli have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:52, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa I am sorry. It was really irresponsible of me to not check first if it was subject to copyright. RPSkokie (talk) 14:03, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here. Under current copyright law, literary works are subject to copyright whether they are tagged as such or not.

Thanks for all your input to Zapatilla (mountain). There just seemed something a bit strange about it to me, but it now looks fine.

In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Beccaynr (talk) 04:16, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Beccaynr I have a simple question; kindly assist me with my comprehension. Given that there is a concern with inheriting notability or sharing notability, how useful is it to list the combined family wealth on an individual's page? RPSkokie (talk) 04:26, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RPSkokie, thank you for following up - both subjects are in the billionaires category, and my understanding from the sources is that the only way to verify this is by including content about their shared net worth, because this is the only way their net worth is reported. Beccaynr (talk) 04:31, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Beccaynr Then, it is preferable to leave it unaltered until each person's net worth is disclosed by reputable sources. RPSkokie (talk) 04:42, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And the currently available source also helps support their WP:BASIC notability, because if the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability, and it is not a trivial mention about the jointly-owned asset. Based on the sources in the articles, concerns about inherited notability do not appear to apply here, including because each person shares the asset.

It also seems unlikely that a jointly-owned business will produce individual net worths, which is another reason why including the reliable information that is available about their jointly-owned asset seems best. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 04:57, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Beccaynr Thanks for logical justification. I just updated the awards section and deleted non-notable ones. Please correct me if I made any errors. RPSkokie (talk) 05:08, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, and those deletions look good to me - I did a quick search for secondary sources for the awards and did not find any, or any other indications of notability. Beccaynr (talk) 05:28, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Draft:INS Udaygiri (2022) into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:17, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've provided the attribution in this case. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:20, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Justlettersandnumbers thank you so much for your assistance. Nonetheless, I have one question: how do we grant credit or attribute when content is translated from one language wiki to another? RPSkokie (talk) 15:17, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again! That's done in exactly the same way – the minimum is to attribute the source in your edit summary (something like "expand using content translated from the fr.wp page"), and that's probably sufficient for a few sentences. If you've translated a big chunk of material in a number of edits it's probably better to provide attribution using {{copied}}. If you have questions about this just ask away, I'll answer if I can. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:22, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am in the process of translating Wikipedia pages on mountain peaks from German to English. I was unfamiliar with how to attribute, so I began editing the talk pages — Talk:La Yongma Ri. Will this be adequate? RPSkokie (talk) 17:10, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure that's fine. But I forgot to mention {{translated page}} – sorry about that! It's probably the best choice in such circumstances – it's flexible and covers a wide range of situations. I suggest using it. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:22, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

About Draft:Everbright Securities International

Hello, thank you for reviewing my draft, but I wonder why you think my article is like an advertisement? In fact, I submitted this draft several times before with the same content, the reviewers did not consider my article to be an advertisement, but only suggested me to revise the references, because my article describe historical facts.

Regarding the references in the latest draft you reviewed, according to Wikipedia’s editorial rules, a self-published work can be used as a source when the statement concerns the source itself. So I added two self-published works. And I also added some pieces of news from well-known media which describing what happened from a third-party perspective, I think these sources can prove notability, because I believe they meet the requirements of independent, multiple and reliable sources.

Looking forward to your reply. Zxcvbnm123411 (talk) 06:07, 28 May 2022 (UTC)Zxcvbnm123411[reply]

Moving of Tilak Weerasooriya to Draft Space

Hi, Any prominent physician or medical academic/professional in Sri Lanka can verify Prof Weerasooriya's credentials. Prof Weerasooriya was a former Dean of the University of Ruhuna (Faculty of Medicine), and also a Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic) - Kotelawala Defence University.

Additionally, he pioneered in Sri Lanka, the first of many, including an Andrology Clinic, Sperm Bank, and National IVF Lab. As shown by his several published research papers and links (I cited 63 links as references, including news articles and international & local publications examples - ResearchGate, PubMed, Asian Journal of Andrology, Springer Nature, The Ceylon Medical Journal, ASIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACOGNOSY, Informa UK Limited).

One of his colleagues was Susirith Mendis, and he worked with G. P. Samarawickrama.

Also, at the Kotelawala Defence University, the other Vice Chancellors are also included on Wikipedia, examples being ,Major General Milinda Peiris RWP RSP VSV,and Major General Sumith Balasuriya, USP, ndc, IG, SLA.

Kindly let me know, as to how this article to fall short, even with the 63 citations. Since I have seen plenty of articles with less citations, and especially not in the field of science and medicine.

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors

Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. Noah^Talk 03:03, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kataklik Kangri

Hi, you claim at the talk page of Kataklik Kangri that you translated the article from German Wikipedia. But the article seriously contradicts German Wikipedia, transposing the locations of the summits. Also note that the article states both I and II have prominences of over 1500 metres, but this is not possible because they are connected by a high ridge that does not drop more than 700 metres below the height of wither summit. My opinion is that German Wikipedia is correct, but the sources are contradictory and I have not been able to uncover any conclusive proof. Viewfinder (talk) 23:24, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Viewfinder Thank you very much for pointing out this discrepancy. Even though I used the best source I could find (PeakVisor), I put in the wrong prominence values for Katalik Kangri II at first. I just corrected it. RPSkokie (talk) 03:51, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think that there is a better source than PeakVisor here but more sources support the current version. Maybe a dispute tag would be in order. Viewfinder (talk) 16:14, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Billions Under Lockdown

Hello, RPSkokie. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Billions Under Lockdown".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Doubt

I have a doubt, you had recently declined my article "Draft:Kendriya Vidyalaya No.3, Bhubaneswar" for not been supported by "reliable sources", in your words, what are "reliable sources" and their examples.

Second, how these articles "Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 1, Bhubaneswar" and "Digital learning" have been accepted into "Wikipedia Article Space" which have one or very less citations to their facts which are being presented in their respective articles. Bhubaneswar2009 (talk) 12:16, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bhubaneswar2009 It is advised to avoid using the parity argument. For a clearer understanding, I suggest referring to the Wikipedia guidelines WP:NSCHOOLS and WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. These guidelines can provide you with more comprehensive information and clarity on the subject. If you encounter any difficulties, I kindly encourage you to seek assistance at WT:AFC.

Replaceable non-free use File:Fowzieh Khalili (1978).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Fowzieh Khalili (1978).jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:03, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi RPSkokie. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 15:22, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking guidance to better my article

Thank you so much RPSkokie for reviewing my article on ‘Amitava Bhattacharya.’ I just wanted to inform that while writing the article I ensured to follow a neutral approach and I provided significant citations on each section. However if it still appears like an advertisement, I would be grateful if you could provide some guidance as to how do I improve and evade the sections where it appears more like an advertisement and not a wikipedia article.

Feedback on revised Draft:People.ai?

Hi @RPSkokie, I revised this draft and addressed your decline-time comments about the need for more refs to establish notability. Some refs are paywalled (shouldn't be an obstacle per WP guidelines), but I wonder if reviewers check the WP Library which has some of them. Others can be found outside paywall by searching for the title. In any case, please LMK what else can be improved for the next review. Thx Igor Markov 09:49, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Girijan Cooperative Corporation Limited - GCC

Hello RPSkokie,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Girijan Cooperative Corporation Limited - GCC for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Girijan Cooperative Corporation Limited - GCC to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Elaboration needed on express declined Draft:Disruption_Network_Lab

Hi User:RPSkokie! I see you were really fast to decline Draft:Disruption_Network_Lab without IMHO good arguments. I see this is outside of your primary focus as editor, while I work in the field and I am focused on NGOs.

I am interested in why you think this one does not deserve a Wikipedia page after almost 2 decades of existances, bunch of important media articles discussing their conferences and with prominent partners and guests involved. I understand that first draft was using a lot of text from web, but this one is not, so please either present precise arguments or pass on the judgement to people who are close to this field.

I would also hope you consider your mode of working in general that article was proposed by novice editor and declining articles without instructing them feels very unwelcoming and might even feel as hostility. As Wikipedia has declining number of editors and much of them report estrangment due to this kind of semi-automated interaction, I hope you would not be as hasty. As a person who is publicly out with BP1, IMHO you should be even more sensitive to potential negative feelings and frsutrations of newbies. No?

Kind regards --Zblace (talk) 16:37, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Zblace NGOs also should adhere to the WP:NCORP guidelines. Additionally, they must meet the criteria outlined in WP:ORGCRIT, WP:ORGDEPTH, and WP:SIRS, which, as it stands now, they do not fully meet. I kindly request that you consider revising your draft and submitting it for another review. There are experienced reviewers available who can provide guidance. If you require expert assistance, please don't hesitate to post your query at WT:AFC. Your efforts to meet these guidelines will be greatly appreciated. RPSkokie (talk) 08:20, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@RPSkokie you are doing the same thing again. Ignoring my request for specific and concrete feedback and throwing vague observations as it stands now, they do not fully meet. This is disrespectful of time and effort of others. If article not-fully meets all the criteria, then it should be given, which part exactly is problematic. Please respond with concrete, detailed and specific feedback. Thank you! -- Zblace (talk) 08:30, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Zblace I want to extend my apologies if my previous message may have inadvertently caused any discomfort. Nonetheless, my earlier clarification appropriately directs you to the relevant guidelines that must be adhered to. To gain a clearer understanding, I would respectfully suggest visiting WT:AFC for further assistance. RPSkokie (talk) 12:02, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

November Articles for creation backlog drive

Hello RPSkokie:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Important: Please update user script installation

Hi there, you currently have a user script installed from Anne drew Andrew and Drew. Several weeks ago, I changed my username to Anne drew, and unfortunately, due to an issue with script redirects, the scripts you have installed under my old username no longer function.

To fix this, please update your JavaScript pages (Special:MyPage/common.js or Special:MyPage/skin.js) by replacing all instances of Anne drew Andrew and Drew with Anne drew.

If any of this is unclear, please ping Anne drew for help. I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!

Thanks – Anne drew
