Do not censor
[edit]Hi {{{S0091}}}, it appears you removed content without discussing it on the article talk page. Please note that Wikipedia is not censored, and content should not be removed because it is controversial. If you believe the information is inaccurate, please reach a consensus on the article talk page. Raghav 1048 (talk) 17:34, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @S0091: To give perspective, I believe this is about the University of Lucknow article you both edited.
- @Raghav 1048 I think you are misreading/misapplying WP:NOTCENSORED, especially the part about ignoring Content will be removed if it is judged to violate Wikipedia's policies (especially those on biographies of living persons and using a neutral point of view). If content is inserted without a citation, it fails WP:V and can be tagged or removed. I don't see anything out of the ordinary about S0091 removing something without a reference, and would not consider that 'removing because it's controversial'. Please see WP:EDITCON regarding the process once text is removed in an article and how the process normally goes.
- One thing I want to point out - On October 4, you were reverted by multiple editors and restored the same removed text four times from the same article. Please be mindful of WP:3RR, which is an offense that can get one blocked and contrary to the consensus building process.

- I would like to clarify that S0091 has been actively trying to remove the brief history of Canning College, which later transformed into Lucknow University. I provided several citations to support the information, demonstrating its relevance and historical significance. Despite this, S0091 removed all references without valid justification, seemingly attempting to erase important context about the institution’s past. It’s crucial for us to maintain a comprehensive and accurate narrative in the article, reflecting both the history and evolution of the university. Raghav 1048 (talk) 13:58, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Raghav 1048 what I removed was largely unsourced. Please be aware the WP:BURDEN (read that) is on you to provide appropriate sources and you have been reverted and warned by several editors about adding unsourced content, yet you continue. At this time, most of the History section is still unsourced which makes it vulnerable to removal by any editor. No one needs to start a discussion with you or get consensus to remove unsourced material. S0091 (talk) 16:24, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @S0091, my edits were based on thorough research using British newspaper archives about Canning College's transformation into Lucknow University. The previous history section mainly mentioned Mohammad Ali Mohammad Khan, but key contributors such as various nawabs, rajas, and Harcourt Butler’s government were overlooked. I included citations and historical photos to provide a more comprehensive view. Instead of revising specific issues, you deleted the entire section. It would be more constructive to address inaccuracies rather than reverting well-sourced content that aims to enrich the page. Raghav 1048 (talk) 16:44, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, "S0091," I'm trying to create an article about Dr. Larry Glasser, a retired professor of physics and mathematics. I am not a mathematician (to say the very least), though since your review and rejection of the initial draft, I've gotten more info about him that I believe must qualify him as a "notable" person worthy of a wiki entry; for example, this from an incomplete PDF I received a few days ago (I need the sender to provide the entire PDF with the endnotes):
"Glasser has published over 400 research papers and three books in physics and mathematics with nearly 100 co-authors, including Norman March, Freeman Dyson and Jonathan Borwein. His Erdos number is 2. His eponymous results include Glasser’s Master Theorem, The Glasser Transform, the Glasser function, the Glasser-Lehman Theorem, the Onsager-Glasser Theorem and the Kaplan-Glasser State."
Given the number of hits I found just for "Glasser's Master Theorem" alone, Larry's work seems to be pretty important. I'm not sure how to go about proving something that I'm not really qualified to analyze myself, hence my reliance on the input of his nephew, who is a now-retired math prof.
(I am writing this article as a favor to his daughter, whom I have known for many years; I am acquainted only slightly with Larry himself. After I receive the complete PDF I mentioned above, I will finish the second draft and resubmit it, though having your input first would obviously make sense. Thanks in advance for any and all advice. —Lynn aka Mofembot) Mofembot (talk) 11:34, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Mofembot first some "paperwork". Given your relationship with the family, you need to declare your conflict of interest. See WP:COIDECLARE but if you need help, let me know and I will add the declaration to your user page. I will also leave some additional information about rules regarding those with a COI, which also extends to Glasser, his family members and anyone associated with him. In a nutshell, having a COI does not preclude you from working on the draft but once it is an article, those associated with him should not edit it directly but rather make edit requests. I strongly suggest you make the family aware of the rules.
- I agree he very likely meets the notability criteria and we actually have an article about Glasser's master theorem, which I have also linked in the draft. However, we cannot use what his nephew says so that needs to be removed. What is needed are published reliable sources that are accessible to the public (see WP:PUBLISHED) so anyone in the world at anytime can access the source(s). Therefore, the PDF his nephew provided you is not usable. See Your first article for some additional guidance about writing a Wikipedia article. As it stands now, it is not appropriate for an encyclopedia.
- Like you, I am not a mathematician but that's ok because we have editors who are. I am going to post a note at WP:WikiProject Mathematics to see if an editor active there is willing to help get the draft up to acceptable standards. I will ping you there. S0091 (talk) 15:28, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Mofembot, I'll just add to what S0091 already said that I too am pretty confident Glasser meets the standards at WP:PROF. This is doable - you just need to properly source everything. -- asilvering (talk) 18:05, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
Added citations to page
[edit]hi a page i submitted was denied due to citations and i've added them, thank you: Draft:Venhue Warshipnyc (talk) 16:47, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Warshipnyc please see my response at WT:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk#15:11, 21 October 2024 review of submission by 98.116.99.122. The sources are not sufficient with some being unreliable so should not be used. S0091 (talk) 16:52, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- thanks which are unreliable so I can remove them and get approved Warshipnyc (talk) 15:24, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- hi, i updated sources and added sources thanks! Warshipnyc (talk) 20:55, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Warshipnyc it's clear you did not read my response at the Help Desk I linked to above and now that it's been archived, I am not going to go through the effort to dig it out for you. There's been no improvement with the sources demonstrating it meets WP:NCORP so the rejection stands. S0091 (talk) 21:10, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Regarding a draft
[edit]Dear, we have addressed your comment regarding "Sources written by Bazzi cannot be used to establish notability because they are not independent" here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ahmad_Bazzi
We have removed all references written by Bazzi. Randomreader162 11:00, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Would this be acceptable to you?
[edit]Hello, I am currently at work and on lunch but wanted to reply to the Abigail Williams & Liberty German talk page (Reliability of sources discussion) but realized that the conversation between us was going off topic somewhat.
I didn't know if you would be willing to, but since our conversation is between both you and I on that page with no responses that I could see needing either of our posts necessarily and has seemed more focused on user conduct rather than article content, would it be acceptable to you to possibly move both of our comments to one of our talk pages per WP:TALKOFFTOPIC and continue the discussion there? If not that is completely fine, but I don't have the technical know how to pull it off and don't want to touch another user's comments without their permission either way, and hatting the conversation without replying to you seemed rude. I figured I would ask before replying to try to keep the talk page more focused on content if possible.
I haven't gotten to write Valereee yet with the same suggestion, but wanted to at least write you before lunch was over. Thanks and have a good night (or morning, depending on your area of the world).

Draft:Karl Lagerfeld (brand) Article Submission
[edit]Hi User:S0091, hope you are well! Thank you very much for taking the time to review the Karl Lagerfeld eponymous brand draft back in June, really appreciated. In order to amend the draft to qualify for a Wikipedia article, and be able to resubmit again for review, I would like to get some further explanation about the reasons why the article got declined, and what can I do to improve it. Can you please kindly let me know which parts of the article are not compliant with Wikipedia guidelines, the reasons why, and what can I do improve/amend those parts.
Thank you very much for your support. Kindly, MB for KARL LAGERFELD (talk) 08:26, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Draft:Come On Over - All The Hits
[edit]Hi @S0091, thanks for taking the time to review my submitted draft for Come On Over - All The Hits.
Your feedback stated that "Sources are standard announcements, Hello! and Setlist fm are not a reliable sources", so I went ahead and updated the draft to remove any unreliable sources, opting instead for news sources such as abc News and Good Morning America.
The draft currently sits in review with a note of: "the submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article", why do you think this submissions is any less qualifying of a Wikipedia article in comparison to Let's Go! (residency) and Shania: Still the One?
Thanks in advance for your help! Binweasel (talk) 18:14, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Binweasel, see WP:OTHERSTUFF but in a nutshell, the existence of other articles has not bearing on another article. Each are judged on their own merits, based on the sources provided. At the time I reviewed the draft, the sources did not meet the current notability criteria (see also WP:42 for short guide about sources). You have resubmitted it for review so another reviewer will take a look. S0091 (talk) 19:52, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
