Tecovas (company)

Hey! Can you outline to me which references are strictly puff/PR pieces, so that I can remove/rework the article around it as someone who accepted the draft? I agree with you on some, but there's definitely a lot of independent coverage that's actually non-trivial. Thanks in advance! Jovanmilic97 (talk) 21:57, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

@Jovanmilic97 Instinct forms a good part of this. Anything containing the word "Announces/d", anything starting with a place name, https://www.inputmag.com/style/tecovas-cowboy-western-boots-empire-paul-hedrick-founder-interview is a lovely feature and smells of advertorial for pay, and so forth
You've done a great job at rescuing it. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 22:01, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
@Jovanmilic97 Also I smell UPE: User_talk:AMDG09#March_2022 is where I have asked the creating editor the direct question FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 22:04, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
Sound concerns there, the last one is the main reason I decided to jump in and try to salvage the whole thing. A huge problem is that there's a lot of puff pieces for everything out there, that are extremely well disguised, and so hard to discount. I've read Input's thing multiple times, but I sadly don't have any valid grounds to remove it for, it's as soundly written as gets. I'll check all the sources more in-depth and seek to replace if needed, when I have more time. Also, feel free to remove references you think they have no place in the article. Regards, Jovanmilic97 (talk) 22:14, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
@Jovanmilic97 It still stinks of paid content. I'd be bold and nuke that advertorial faux reference. I am out of time myself right now, but we have a whole community, which is a great thing.
One gets a nose for this kind of trade puffery. A great ally is @Celestina007, who can smell UPE at a thousand paces FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 22:20, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
@User:Timtrent Hi, thanks for the ping. I am not affiliated with Tecovas + have no financial stake / compensation etc. Please feel free to remove the Input article if it's not a valid source, but this page on the site's ethics seemed to indicate they have a clear separation of church + state and would have tagged the article as sponcon if it were. https://www.inputmag.com/ethics Regarding revenue, what is a valid way to cite revenue numbers? The Austin American-Statesman reported it. Tecovas is a private company, so I don't know how anyone could independently report on revenue. But if the Austin American Statesman writes it, it's no longer a "primary source" IMO. The paper owns that reporting. If they had reason to believe it wasn't true, they would not have published it. Is it ever appropriate for a private company's revenue to be listed? Guess I need to read more about primary/secondary sources. If other sources were not valid, please let me know cc :@Jovanmilic97
@User:TimtrentAlso, My thought in creating the page is that there is no shortage of dead/dying/largely irrelevant company pages on Wikipedia, but emerging companies are a blind spot. Was also going to try to create a page for this company at some point--another co. I was surprised didn't have a page: https://crumblcookies.com/ Came across an article about them on social media. We have a page for Mrs. Fields Cookies which seems to be disappearing as malls in America continue to suffer. But Crumbl seems to be massively popular with at least some demographics (https://www.dallasnews.com/food/restaurant-news/2021/06/24/why-are-texans-standing-in-line-for-cookies-inside-the-crumbl-cookies-phenomenon/, https://www.axios.com/local/des-moines/2022/02/22/crumbl-cookies-ankeny-desserts). Social media is not be all, end all...but Mrs. Fields has 13k Twitter followers; Crumbl has 334k. I have no connection to Crumbl either, and it feels like we ought to have a page. Now I feel like any attempt to create a page for a company that seems to deserve one will be considered PR for a company whose cookies I've never eaten? haha Thanks for the dialogue. Cheers.

Robert Middleton

I have tried to follow your comments in this revised version but need guidance on what you mean by "not adequately supported by reliable sources" - could you please give me examples of statements that need such support.

I also am not sure what you mean by "All inline links should be removed". I think all inline links are now Wikipedia references.

Yes, there are too many footnotes. I have reduced to a minimum.

Thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deeroux (talk • contribs) 09:31, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

I agree with what you say about paid editors. Since they are charging for their services, they have no business asking us, who are not paid, for advice or assistance. We almost certainly know more about Wikipedia than they do, but that is their problem and not ours. If they don't know as much as they need to know, and they usually don't, it only means that their employers may be fools for having hired them. In the meantime, we have an encyclopedia to improve.

Draft:Vefik Metohu Qerimi

So this is interesting. We declined at the same time but the draft only reflects your decline, however User talk:Erlindaerli reflects mine first then yours. Mine has the Teahouse invitation so I do not want to revert and if you revert I am assuming no decline will show up on the draft (?). I am going to post a note their talk page to explain and hopefully they will understand the message. Weirdness. S0091 (talk) 20:34, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

I didn't think you would have an attachment to your decline and normally I do not either. Had mine been fully second in both places I would have reverted without a thought. This one just got hung in between the two and a personal note doesn't hurt anyway. And while I am here, thanks for all you do around here.

@S0091 I'll accept that, while blushing. Thank you again. I'm glad that what I do and how I do it is something that is useful to your way of working here.

@S0091 We're all weird in our way. The unusual ones I mention tend to be belligerent, pompous, self aggrandising. There is always a way to prick their balloons, though.

Highland PICT

Thanks for your comments on this draft for the Highland PICT Team. I wasn't;t sure what you meant about a parent article? Highland PICT is mentioned on the BASICS Scotland wiki page, I think thats the only link I can find, and I think the PICT team is separate enough to make them share a page less than ideal. I'd argue it is deserving of its own team in the same way as SCAA, the west midlands CARE Team or the LIVES Team. Similar notability levels I think. TheMouseMen (talk) 18:49, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Draft Article Advice

Hiya, I tried to get involved with this draft ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Journal_of_Paramedic_Practice ), but as you can see on the talk page, people seem to feel very strongly in both directions - i.e. notable, not-notable. I'm really lost as it seems notable to me, but I'm not at all experienced. I would welcome your opinion. TheMouseMen (talk) 15:52, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

@TheMouseMen It's weird that this has not been submitted for review. Were I t0 review it today I would criticise the references. Many are not about the journal but are about working as a paramedic
We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. would be my main comment
The journal is, probably, notable, but the references need to verify that 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:34, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Hola--just wanted to check in and... ask about your comment "tag: please check your work and remove irrelevant tags after moving a valid article to mainspace " because I'm not sure what you're referring to.

Obviously, I think *all* my articles are valid, but the process for this is not 100% clear to me, as, like most of us, I'm self-taught in this and have done a variety of things (expanding stubs, starting articles, completing articles, &c.). Which tags is it appropriate to remove? I was under the impression that "tags" were something a reviewer, and not the originator, were supposed to check.

Happy for correction if this is wrong.

Put simply, the oversight is the community. There is WP:NPP that looks at all new pages for simple quality issues. WP:AFC reviewers offer an iterative decline/accept process which anyone is welcome to use.

Article - Jean Pirie

Hi Tim, My apologies. I am new to this and didnt realise that I should remain "logged in" when sending a message. In any event, I have removed the scans of the old newspaper cuttings, although I do think they are permitted for the purposes of "fair use" under the US Copyright Act. https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107

eg:

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/fair-use-rule-copyright-material-30100.html#:~:text=Uses%20That%20Are%20Normally%20Considered%20Legally%20%22Fair%22&text=News%20reporting%3A%20Summarizing%20an%20address,text%20without%20the%20politician's%20permission

and

https://blog.newspapers.library.in.gov/fair-use-and-copyright-research/


Uses That Are Normally Considered Legally "Fair" Subject to some general limitations discussed later in this article, the following types of uses are usually deemed fair uses:

Criticism and commentary: For example, quoting or excerpting a work in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment would normally be fair use. A book reviewer would be permitted to quote passages from a book in a newspaper column as part of an examination of the book. News reporting: Summarizing an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report constitutes fair use. A journalist would be permitted to quote from a political speech's text without the politician's permission. Research and scholarship: Quoting a short passage in a scholarly, scientific, or technical work for illustration or clarification of the author's observations would be deemed acceptable. An art historian would be able to use an image of a painting in an academic article that analyzes the painting. Nonprofit educational uses: When teachers photocopy limited portions of written works for classroom use, this is normally acceptable. An English teacher would be permitted to copy a few pages of a book to show to the class as part of a lesson plan. (Note that she would not be permitted to photocopy the entire book).

Similarly, a use that benefits the public or that lends to education also weighs heavily in favor of a finding of fair use. For example, in its advertising a vacuum cleaner manufacturer was permitted to quote from a Consumer Reports article comparing vacuum cleaners. Why? The ad significantly increased the number of people exposed to the Consumers Reports' evaluations and thereby disseminated helpful consumer information. The same rationale probably applies to the widespread practice of quoting from favorable reviews in advertisements for books, films, and plays.

Five Considerations Regarding "Fair Use" There are five basic considerations to keep in mind when deciding whether or not a particular use of an author's work is a fair use. These are the same considerations likely to weigh on the mind of a judge:

Rule 1: Are You Creating Something New or Just Copying?

The purpose and character of your intended use of the material involved is the single most important factor in determining whether a use is fair under U.S. copyright law. The question to ask here is whether you are merely copying someone else's work verbatim or instead using it to help create something new.

Rule 2: Are Your Competing With the Source You're Copying From?

Without consent, you ordinarily cannot use another person's protected expression in a way that impairs (or even potentially impairs) the market for his or her work.

For example, say Nick, a golf pro, writes a book on how to play golf. He copies several brilliant paragraphs on how to putt from a book by Lee Trevino, one of the greatest putters in golf history. Because Nick intends his book to compete with and hopefully supplant Trevino's, this use is not a fair use.

Rule 3: Giving the Author Credit Does Not Always Let You Off the Hook

Some people mistakenly believe that they can use any material as long as they properly give the author credit. Not true. Giving credit and fair use are completely separate concepts. Either you have the right to use another author's material under the fair use rule, or you do not. The fact that you attribute the material to the other author does not change that.

(Having said that, crediting your source will decrease the chances of litigation, since the original author may feel that he or she received appropriate credit.)

Rule 4: The More You Take, the Less Fair Your Use Is Likely to Be

The more material you lift from the original, the less likely it is that your use will be considered a fair use. As a broad standard, never quote more than a few successive paragraphs from a book or article, take more than one chart or diagram, include an illustration or other artwork in a book or newsletter without the artist's permission, or quote more than one or two lines from a poem.

Contrary to what many people believe, there is no absolute word limit on fair use. For example, copying 200 words from a work of 300 words wouldn't be fair use. However, copying 2,000 words from a work of 500,000 words might be fair. It all depends on the circumstances.

To preserve the free flow of information, authors are given more leeway when using material from factual works (scholarly, technical, or scientific works) than works of fancy, such as novels, poems, and plays.

Rule 5: The Quality of the Material Used Is as Important as the Quantity

The more important the material is to the original work, the less likely your use of it will be considered fair.

In one famous case, The Nation magazine obtained a copy of Gerald Ford's memoirs before their publication. In the magazine's article about the memoirs, only 300 words from Ford's 200,000-word manuscript were quoted verbatim. The Supreme Court ruled that this was not a fair use because the material quoted (dealing with the Nixon pardon) was the "heart of the book... the most interesting and moving parts of the entire manuscript," and that prepublication disclosure of this material would cut into value or sales of the book.

In determining whether your intended use of another author's protected work constitutes a fair use, apply the golden rule: Take from someone else only what you would not mind someone taking from you. This will help, should you ever need to defend your actions in court.

I trust that the article is now fit for purpose and can be approved?

@Ianrpenman: your problem is that you are dealing with Wiklipedia things on Commons and Commons things on Wikipedia. Wiklimedia Commons does not permit Fair Use. Wikipedia permits Fair Use. When you upload a file you are asked a shedload of questions about it, and you need to take responsibility for the answers you give.

I'm trying to see how long I can go without opining at ArbCom.
I would like to say that if someone is conducting clandestine ops under the aegis of ArbCom or the Foundation, they should not reveal it on Wiki. Clandestine ops are useless once they have blown their cover. If someone has a magic CU tool from outside Wiki, any information obtained via that (highly implausible) tool should be emailed to ArbCom or the Foundation as confidential.
I have emailed off Wiki evidence and the response was sortof, "meh." so now I leave it to the professionals.

@Deepfriedokra Civility costs absolutely nothing, even if, sometimes, one has to be civil through gritted teeth. Good faith may become stretched, but civility never.
Black ops are black ops. No-one save those allowed to perform them should know.
All I believe we need to know is where to send the material. That shoudl be public (the location). The reaction should be a simple acknowledgement of receipt, no more and no less.

@Deepfriedokra It's regrettable that it has come to pass, and it was avoidable by dint of wise and early retraction of horns.
The ANI thread is a horrible pile on. ANI seems to attract the worst of our instincts, not the best. I mentioned to someone else that it often feels as if it is Lord of the Flies.
I think a TBan likely, a block excessive, but possible. I have concerns that the ANI thread was given credence since it was opened by an apparently not squeaky clean person, and there is no boomerang in evidence. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 19:20, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
Yes. Lord of the Flies is very apt. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:27, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
@Deepfriedokra Wikipedia may be the encyclopaedia that anyone can edit, but we have made it extremely hard for most people to edit it successfully. We trip them at every turn with rules, policies, processes, and have functionaries beyond our wildest nightmares.
I concur with your ANI comment. It is the least worst option assuming we can persuade her to return. I value all her contributions, though am sometimes taken aback by her fervour. I am sure she will not be surprised that I say that. I have mentioned it to her from time to time, and know she may be watching my talk page.
Equally, she has often mentioned to me that she is surprised at how relaxed and laid back are my dealings with others, even, perhaps especially, when in serious disagreement. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 19:41, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
Fervor. Yes. She needs to dampen that. I feel better about where the situation is knowing you tried to curb her "exuberance." She needs to know that she is valued, but she must learn a new approach. I have Asperger's, so I'm forced to step back and work through what I'm going to say. It's hard to remember to be polite. It's a daily struggle. Sometimes I'm curt, but sometimes the subtext of curtness is what people need if politeness has failed. Hah. I'm now thinking of Kiddo from Kill Bill. Courtesy was ingrained into the main character's behavior. So, after Kiddo disinters herself, covered with dust and dirt, she goes into a bar(?) and politely requests a glass of water, please. Would that we could all maintain that level of aplomb after a harrowing experience. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:55, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
@Deepfriedokra As you know for Asperger's reasons, and as I know because of my bloody minded determination to remain detached when the going gets tough, being polite and relaxed can be remarkably hard. Yet politeness and calmness is the way to get results.
It can take longer than throwing half a brick at them, but there is less blood, and more satisfaction at the end result.
She is learning. I have counselled her often. I know DGG will be an excellent mentor. I have mentored others and helped some who were felt to be lost causes back to become useful editors, so I know what it takes. We're back to bloody minded determination not to allow them to lose. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 20:09, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Bloomberg PR

This is a PR article although it is written by Bloomberg's editors? Please teach me the difference since I apparently have a hard time distinguishing PR from editorial articles. M4DU7 (talk) 09:03, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

@M4DU7 I get the feeling you want to create a list and have me say yes or no to each one. I feel the game starting. I shall not be doing that. Ask instead at WP:RSN where you will receive an authoritative answer.
Instead, I will suggest to you that you look at the content and determine whether the source is likely to be the corporation spoken about. Then also look at any material brought to the article by any by-lined editor. Look at the top and bottom paragraphs and judge whether it be a PR department generated piece, or a true piece of significant coverage im a source independent of the subject of the article.
When you create articles or add references to articles, or argue about references in discussions you need only to argue about, use, those you are 100% certain of. If you are having trouble distinguishing then do not use that as a reference. Only ever argue from a position of strength, strength of knowledge about the references you speak of. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 09:11, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

@M4DU7 Please teach me the difference since I apparently have a hard time distinguishing PR from editorial articles. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 09:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
Thanks, very helpful. M4DU7 (talk) 09:29, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
M4DU7, this isn't a "smoking gun", but see this twitter thread where a set of articles, which have been written by a reporter currently at Bloomberg and consistently portray an Indian billionaire in positive light, have been collected. Bloomberg may not be as bad as some of the Indian "business" papers, but they too aren't entirely above such practices. I didn't vote in that AfD, but I agree that the Bloomberg profile in question is useless for Wikipedia's purposes. Hemantha (talk) 12:43, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Draft declined, please provide detail if possible

hi, it appears you have declined this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Sensoneo, because it appears as an advertisement. I was careful to stay objective and neutral, staying true to facts and serious journalistic reports (I avoided press releases). I have drawn inspiration from other companies listed on wikipedia such as Hubspot or Kaspersky to name a few, and was careful to omit any praise or inflating facts. However, I admit that it is possible I have not stayed as neutral as i might have wanted.

I would be thankful to receive your further assistance in adressing the subjective parts. Could you, please, provide guidance in regards to which parts should be edited (or discarded altogether), so the article stays completely neutral?

Polydoll (talk) 11:04, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

@Polydoll: What you have produced is a corporate directory entry. My opinion is that you have written about the org from its perspective, and thus not shown why it is, in a Wikipedia sense, notable.

Draft for Ezra Nanes

Hi Timtrent,

You recently reviewed and denied an article on Ezra Nanes, who is the Mayor of State College. You said he was not a notable enough politician, despite there being at least a dozen different outside media articles about him. He has been serving as Mayor for 6 months and there are articles about him nearly every other week. In a similar example, former Mayor of State College Elizabeth Goreham's Wikipedia page was approved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Goreham.

Can you please explain how else to make Ezra Nanes' page acceptable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by StateCollege2021 (talk • contribs) 20:36, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm leaning not notable, but I'm certainly not going to review until I go through the sources to see if there is in-depth coverage of him, particularly in sources with a scope beyond the local area. It would also need some copyediting and restructuring. —C.Fred (talk) 20:51, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
@C.Fred I had mistaken a reasonably populous place for some sort of educational establishment. So I have corrected that error of mine and think I will not take part in any formal discussion about Names, nor about Graham. I suspect they miss notability, but the coverage might just make them pass WP:NPOLITICIAN

State College is (without pulling a map to see where the borough limits are) the home of, or the nearest municipality to, Penn State University.

With all due respect, she was Mayor of this large municipality and was the first woman to do so. I agree she may not be that notable, however I do believe Ezra is. Ezra Nanes is the first Jewish man to serve in this role. Ezra Nanes also has an extensive political background, which is greater than that of Mayor Goreham's.

I have no relationship to Nanes, except I am a resident of the Borough of which he is Mayor. I am a journalist student at Pennsylvania State University which is partly in the Borough.

@StateCollege2021 A journalistic writing style will never work here. However you will improve your writing by learning how to write dull-but-worthy and correctly cited prose.

My username, as I just explained on my Talk page, is because I reside in State College. Being a resident of the borough does not mean I have a relationship with its mayor. I am just a student. The prose on the article I wrote is dull because it is similar to other Wikipedia articles. Actually, writing in dull prose helps as a journalism exercise -- only giving just the facts and nothing else. This is helpful. StateCollege2021 (talk) 21:14, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

I used to write press releases and marketing bullshit and hype. Dull-but-worthy absolutely improves all writing. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:21, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Okay. I'll change it. That makes sense. Do you think that the article was dull-but-worthy? StateCollege2021 (talk) 21:24, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
I actually do not know how to change my name lol! StateCollege2021 (talk) 21:25, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

I was more concerned that I felt it failed WP:NPOLITICIAN, so I neglected the text. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:28, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
In reading the article, I found the text to border on fluffy at time. Lots of detail beyond what usually goes in articles of the kind and other word choice issues. That didn't help with the appearance of promotional writing. —C.Fred (talk) 21:37, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
I can certainly edit it further to resemble ever closer what @Timtrent refers to as "dull-but-worthy." Let me know how. StateCollege2021 (talk) 21:39, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Your recent comment on Draft:Robert Merrill Chase, Sr.

Hi, thanks for your comment on the Robert Merrill Chase, Sr. draft regarding making a decision about writing about the man or the businesses.

Previously, the draft you reviewed in Feb did have information about the history and role of the businesses. Specifically, there was a lot about the history of Merrill Chase Galleries and the role of the Galleries in shaping the art business. Almost all that information has been removed. In this draft, the businesses are included as they were founded/co-founded Robert Chase. The sections on his relationships with two artists (Dali and Hart) is focused on his personal relationship (vs business with the Galleries), as the sources indicate.

Also, the structure of the draft (early life, business career, and philanthropy) + the content is very consistent with several other profiles of art dealers on Wikipedia.

Examples:

1) Leo Castelli (a contemporary of Chase and here the business is presented much in the same way my draft has it)

2) Serge Sorokko

3) Nicholas Wilder

4) Edith Halpert

5) Karsten Greve

6) Sidney Janis

I appreciate your consideration and also any guidance if this information is insufficient in addressing your comment regarding the draft.

Ckouri (talk) 01:28, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

@Ckouri No precedent is ever set by any article for any other. If it were we would have a brutally fast descent into idiocracy. Please bear that in mind when examining any other article.
While Chase created his businesses, he is not the businesses, which may or may not be independently notable. The key point is to write the draft you are writing to make the distinction clear. Thus a draft on Chase will contain small and carefully selected information about his businesses, and drafts about his business will contain small and carefully selected information about Chase. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:24, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

AOZ Studio draft article.

You mentioned that I need to disclose my affiliation with AOZ Studio differently, but i'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.

Currently, the work I've been doing part time for AOZ Studio is as a volunteer. I have 'in the past' been paid by AOZ Studio for coding and debugging, but this is unrelated to the Wikipedia article. I *may* be paid in the future by AOZ Studio for other work, but again, unrelated to the Wikipedia article.

How should I report this differently than what I have already declared? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ising4jesus

Here's the article in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:AOZ_Studio

Also, do you have any suggestions as to how I could improve the article to make it more acceptable for re-submission?

Ising4jesus (talk) 06:54, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

@Ising4jesus Please declare this as laid out in WP:PAID which removes any doubt. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:21, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Draft declined before - made significant changes, please provide feedback

Hi, we have discusseed my draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Sensoneo , which you suggested was not suitable due to some of its contents and structure. I have read your essay and quite a few others, and after some time have decided that making it a stub would probably be the way to go forward with it. Could you please check on it and confirm that it is now suitable for submission? Thank you Polydoll (talk) 16:32, 17 June 2022 (UTC) Polydoll Polydoll (talk) 16:32, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

UPDATE - although I havent seen a single company article with COI disclosed even though obvious, I have added a COI on top as per your review. Polydoll (talk) 17:40, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
@Polydoll I almost never review a draft a second time, Other eyes always give a broader based review. The notice you have placed om there top of the draft is suggestive that you need to comply with WP:PAID 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:23, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Please do not move this article to draft again. It is ready for main space. Bruxton (talk) 23:24, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Industrial school

Hi! I've deleted Industrial school, so all clear for the draft. Would you like to have the Page mover user right, which would allow you suppress redirects when moving a page? If so, just ask – I'm confident that you meet the requirements. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:42, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

@Justlettersandnumbers If you believe it would be beneficial I think PM rights would be acceptable. I had not considered asking for that right previously, considering that I only would use it for this specific purpose, as far as I can see.
Thank you for deleting the redirect 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 11:19, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
OK, I've done that – I don't think it matters that you'd only have the one use for it, as long as it saves time all round. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:44, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
@Justlettersandnumbers I promise to be very careful with it. I do guarantee to make errors at times, but so do we all. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 11:46, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
@Justlettersandnumbers An interesting by-product is that it deleted the main space redirect when draftifying. That makes a great deal of sense and less work for others. It also adds a tick box in a sensible place somewhere else. It's a well thought out right and tool. I still doubt very much that I will use it outside those areas. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:09, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Yes, that's right – you can now suppress the creation of a redirect when you move a page, and the draftify script somehow exploits that (don't ask me how!). And that's a small saving of time and effort for everyone each time. I'm glad it's working for you. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:34, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

RightNow Media

Hi Timtrent, thank you so much for your feedback. I am wondering what I can do to improve the notability of RightNow Media. I noticed their parent company, Bluefish TV, has a page. RightNow Media seems notable, as there are not many other religious streaming services on the market. What kind of links should be included to improve notability? Thank you for your consideration! GodLovesYou12 (talk) 13:59, 29 June 2022 (UTC)GodLovesYou12

@GodLovesYou12 You cannot make it notable if it does not have inherent notability. References would help, if you can find them.
We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.
With regard to Bluefish TV, I do not believe it merits an article either. We have many poor articles about organisations that fail WP:NCORP. I believe this to be one. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 14:39, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

GNN/Graph Neural Networks draft

Hey Timtrent. I think there's been a misunderstanding. I am working on pulling an old draft of the GNN page into the current one (here). You may see in the talk page of Graph neural network that another user put a great deal of work into writing their own version of the page before mine was submitted. I'm working on merging the two. Perhaps I used the wrong avenue to do this having it in the "draft" namespace. How should I go about this without confusing other editors? Is it okay to continue editing it as is, even with the "declined" banner on it? Zaya (talk) 20:35, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

@Iking5 You need to reach a consensus for your suggested major edits on the talk page of the article you wish to make major edits to. WP:AFC is not intended for a use like this. Instead it is designed for completely new drafts of articles that do not yet exist. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 20:38, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
@Timtrent I believe the consensus is that we want to add in his version, with less of a practitioners tone and more encyclopedic. That's what I'm working on now, but it can't be done in a day. Is there a better place I can save this revision until it's ready? Sorry, I'm new to edits of this size--not sure of the protocol. Zaya (talk) 20:44, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
@Iking5 DRaft namespace is acceptable. Please do not submit the draft for review.
a sub-page in your own userspace is also acceptable, for example User:Iking5/GNN Working space, whcih obviously does not exist yet 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 20:47, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Oh whoops. Nvm. Someone beat me to it. I hadn't seen how the article had changed in the past 24 hours. Disregard haha Zaya (talk) 20:46, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
@Iking5  Done!! 😂 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 20:47, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Timtrent,

I send this cookie with rainbow sprinkles to you and ask you to share with your other half (if they like cookies). I was feeling very discouraged that my first article was so speedily deleted, but you sent words of encouragement to me, not once, but twice! I appreciate your help and will follow your suggestions. Thank you. I also agree that dictators should NEVER win...not in Ukraine, not anywhere!!! I send a virtual "Mom" hug to you and your other half (if they like hugs). What a joy to see your rainbow labels! I am the proud mother of a queer daughter. My husband and I love and value her and her wonderful and supportive wife (of 14 years), and their two children. We are on the board of PFLAG Fort Worth and recently had the pleasure and privilege of marching in the Dallas Pride Parade. Please accept my hugs and my appreciation I send to you! Namamacs Namamacs (talk) 21:13, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Aww, thank you, {[User:Namamacs|Namamacs]]. As a proud mother of a queer child you and they might find ISBN 978-1795435383 which describes my teenage years] interesting/amusing. Or not!
Pride Parades have, over here, become somewhat commercialised. They need to return to the post Stonewall Riot protest movement style parade. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:21, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the references and encouragement

Thank you so much, Timtrent, for all of your excellent advice about Wikipedia, writing, and links to excellent articles I will use for guidance. Now I think I'll put the Zoe Empowers article aside until I find more "notable" references. It's almost grandmothering time again anyway. Also, thank you for the reference to your book. Wow! What a gift to write your story and share it with gay kids everywhere. Congrats on early retirement. My husband retired at age 55 and was (and is) SO happy to not be working. Yes, the Dallas Pride parade had many corporate sponsors, and we were behind all the sponsors. Waited for a couple of hours before marching along the route. It was 95 degrees that Sunday, but there was a really good breeze and enough shade from trees along the route. We complained about the heat until the next Sunday was over 100 degrees. Then, we were thankful for the pleasant 95 with a breeze. Y'all take care! Namamacs Namamacs (talk) 23:06, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

@Namamacs I have the grandkids here tomorrow. Enjoy yours.
I just missed 55, but it was my target! 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 23:24, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
