Hello, Rkieferbaum! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! SiliconRed (talk) 09:44, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

@Siliconred: thank you very much for taking the time to review my draft and give your input! I think there's some misunderstanding, though, and I wonder if you'd mind clearing it up before I go on editing the article and seeking help at the help desk and the teahouse. I'm not sure what you mean by "confusing some information here for Lino Facioli" - Lino is mentioned in passing in this sentence:

In 2010, he [Daniel] wrote, directed and produced the short film Awfully Deep, the first acting job of Lino Facioli,[10] who went on to star as Robin Arryn in the HBO series Game of Thrones, and later as Dex on Netflix's Sex Education.[11]

Its intention is to illustrate that Lino made his debut in one of Daniel's short films, and there's nothing more about Lino anywhere else in the article. You suggested merging Daniel's article with Lino's, but it doesn't seem like it would make a lot of sense to have a section in Lino Facioli dedicated to the film maker of his debut short-film. Am I reading this wrong? As far as I can tell, WP:NOTABILITY is presented for Daniel in the references, with WP:THREE sources outlined in the talk page. For what it's worth, I'm autopatrolled on PT Wiki, and am trying to make sure I fully understand the nuances between PT and EN wikis before I become more active around here. Once again, thank you very much for your input. Cheers. Rkieferbaum (talk) 15:16, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

My mistake, I must have misread! I'll adjust the review accordingly. That said, I do think that the article should be improved stylistically before approval -- e.g. populating the infobox, breaking into sections. I'll update this on the review page, thanks for calling to my attention. SiliconRed (talk) 15:29, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

@Siliconred: thank you! You're absolutely right, it does make sense to break down the text. I'll work on it. As for the infobox, it's grabbing data from Wikidata, so it should appear if/when the "Draft:" is removed and Wikidata is linked into the main article. Once again, thanks, and happy editing! Rkieferbaum (talk) 15:35, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Just updated the review, feel free to ping me once changes are made and I can re-review. I added in a blank infobox template, but you're welcome to revert to using Wikidata if you prefer. Happy editing! SiliconRed (talk) 15:38, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

@Siliconred: tinkered with the article a little bit - please do let me know what you think. Thought I'd use the Wikidata infobox for now. Thank you once again! Rkieferbaum (talk) 16:37, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Just approved -- feel free to continue improving the article now that it's on the mainspace. It looks like the infobox didn't populate correctly, so I'd encourage you to kick off there. Cheers! SiliconRed (talk) 17:28, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

@Siliconred: Thanks again! The box is populated now - you gotta point to it from the Wikidata entry, so it can only be done after the article is published. Thanks, and please let me know if there's an article in particular you think I could help with. All the best! Rkieferbaum (talk) 17:45, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Sure thing! If you have other drafts for review, feel free to drop a note on my talk page. I am a new AfC reviewer, so thanks for your patience after my initial (sloppy) review 😊 20:29, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Ant-Man (Scott Lang) and disambiguation of dates

Hi Rkieferbaum. I've had to revert your edit at Ant-Man (Scott Lang). The article is using short form references ({{sfn}} templates), these link to a full cite by author and year. When the same author has multiple works in the same year an alpha is added to the year (e.g. 2004a, 2004b, 2004c, etc). This is a required part of referencing and removing it causes a no target error (See Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors). -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 14:46, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Did you use an automated tool for this correction? As if so it is not functioning correctly. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 14:48, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

@ActivelyDisinterested: hey there and thanks for the heads up! It was not an automated correction, in fact. WPCleaner did identify an inconsistency in dates, but I manually removed the letters. The reference system in that article is somewhat different from the norm and I didn't realize that through source code editing. My mistake. Sorry! Rkieferbaum (talk) 17:42, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

February 2023

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Indiawin Sports, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. DDMS123 (talk) 18:19, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

@DDMS123: Hi there. What I did was to actually abide by the manual of style, especially WP:NOPIPE. Your revert goes in the opposite direction. Rkieferbaum (talk) 20:10, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

@Rkieferbaum: Apologies, I just realised that I reverted the wrong edit earlier as I had two tabs open on different pages and was meant to revert the edit on the other page. Please accept my apologies. DDMS123 (talk) 03:06, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

@DDMS123: no problem at all, mate! Thanks for your effort. Cheers! Rkieferbaum (talk) 13:36, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Special:Diff/1126882253/next

Hello, could you please explain how such WP:COSMETIC edits are helpful? There are most likely tens of thousands of pages with this kind of formatting. 1234qwer1234qwer4 18:10, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

@1234qwer1234qwer4: hey there. I've seen countless times people edit piped links changing the text but not the target (i.e.: 1984|1984 becomes 1984|1985 and so on). This happens both using VE and code editing. That's why there's the WP:NOPIPE guideline. Any objection? Rkieferbaum (talk) 18:28, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Ever thought of doing this as a bot task? This does not look like it needs manual supervision. 1234qwer1234qwer4 18:38, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

@1234qwer1234qwer4: I do supervise the changes because in some rare cases there are false positives - links that should remain piped for one reason or another. But yes, a lot of the changes are pretty straightforward and formulaic and could probably be done by bots with no loss (i.e. exact matches). Rkieferbaum (talk) 18:49, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Australia's Richest 250

It is requested that the page history of Draft:Australia's Richest 250 be merged into the history of this page because copy- paste of draft into article This action must be performed by an administrator. Consider placing Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Australia's Richest 250 a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Australia's Richest 250. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:16, 25 March 2023 (UTC) on the talk page of the editor who performed the cut-and-paste move. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:16, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: hey there! Not sure what's going on here... is this an accidental paste? I didn't do a copy and paste move and I'm not an admin to merge the histories... cheers! Edit: oh, I see now what happened. Apparently the page was moved to draft just as I was fixing something in it with WPCleaner, so the page got recreated on main space as I saved my edits. I see no problem in quick deleting the article on main space and moving the draft space version. Or a merge would also do it, whichever is easier. Thanks and cheers!

Rkieferbaum (talk) 17:40, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

What is WPCleaner? Is it a gnome tool that normally runs in the background? Did it get into a race condition with something or someone? (What Wikipedia calls edit conflicts are known in electrical engineering and computer science as race conditions.) I think that we should leave it to the admins to figure out what to do. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:03, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: it is a semi-automated tool for general fixes. Yes, that's what it is (edit conflict), but usually the tool warns about it before it saves. I guess the move to draft meant the article didn't exist anymore at the time of save, but even then it should have issued a warning. In any case, the history is now fixed, though the article does exist in main and draft spaces now. If the conditions that led to the move still exist, I guess the main space article should now be moved over the draft version...? Will be happy to help taking a look tomorrow. In any case, thanks for your help! Rkieferbaum (talk) 00:07, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

What do you mean by moving the mainspace article over the draft article? Do you mean to point the draft at the article via a redirect, or do you mean to delete the article and leave the draft? Replacing the draft with a redirect to the article is easy. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:31, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: if I understood it right (I'm on mobile these days and didn't give it a proper look) the article was moved to draft just the other day, and I inadvertently recreated it on mainspace, so it's now on both. But if someone moved it to draft it must have been for good reason, and I guess whatever the reason was isn't yet fixed. Rkieferbaum (talk) 00:39, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Rather than undo the request for history merge, I have left an explanatory note in the history merge request, and the admin should try to figure out what happened. That's what we pay admins for. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:11, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Your AWB edits

Hi! In this diff https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michelle_Coombs&curid=73503387&diff=1152273602&oldid=1150186227, you changed a )) to a }}, when it was supposed to be double parentheses, per the CS1 markup. In doing this, you broke the citation. What went wrong? BhamBoi (talk) 04:03, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

@BhamBoi: Hi there! Thanks for the heads up. Yeah, those double parenthesis threw AWB off and I didn't catch it before submitting, but it's clearly wrong. I'll run some tests to try to figure out what AWB interpreted wrong there and see if we can get it fixed. Thanks again! Rkieferbaum (talk) 10:21, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

@Diannaa: hi there and thanks for the warning and removal. I did write the new lead using my own words, but apparently I inadverently reused sentence constructions beyond a reasonable copyright violation threshold. This will have been from memory (which, of course, doesn't make it right). I've written a lot for Wikipedia and that makes me worry a little bit about whether that has happened before. Would you mind emailing me my edit so that I can understand a little bit better what I did? Thanks! Rkieferbaum (talk) 15:03, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

It's easier if I temporarily undo the revision deletion so that you can compare using Earwig's tool. Here's a link: Earwig comparison. I will leave this available for a day or two to give you time to assess. — Diannaa (talk) 15:06, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
