Closed Threads

First, thank you for closing the threads that had inadequate prior discussion. Second, I think that you forgot to sign the one on British Somaliland. Third, in general, if I have commented on a thread, even to say that something is inadequate about it, it is all right to leave it open for 24 hours until you or I or TransporterMan check on it again. But the closures were fine. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:30, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: sorry for missing the signature and closing some of the threads without discussion, I'll take care next time. Thank you very much for this note! Yashovardhan (talk) 02:52, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
No apology required. The closures were fine. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:01, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Sierra Leone comment on DRN talk page

Thank you for addressing it. I have hatted that complaint. It appeared to be a complaint about administrator abuse, but it was really a complaint by a blocked user about proper administrative judgment, and was sockpuppetry. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:01, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

@Rober McClenon: yeah, i agree! Even I got really irritated at that complain. I believe I later checked the account and had a thought that it was a sockpuppet but didn't take it up. I just saw your block message on the comment. Yashovardhan (talk) 03:19, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

@Rupalavanyan: hey, thanks for the kind words! By the way, you and your brother should always sign at the end of what you're saying, not at the start! Yashovardhan (talk) 07:17, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

okay thanks bro.rupa$$$ (talk) 07:19, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your support and wishes

Supportive Barnstar
I am very proud to be a part of wikipedia.Thanks for your barnstar.I always consider this barnstar that you have given to me as like my first ever international recognition award.I never dreamt of this.This actually boosts me to create many articles as well as to edit on other articles.Thanks for encouraging me.You're the one who presented me about the lovely cookies and now a barnstar.I also congratulate you to be a successful wikipedian editor. Abishe (talk) 06:38, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
@Abishe: Thanks a lot! This is my first barnstar on Wikipedia!! Thanks a ton! You've a long way to go. Do continue to make Wikipedia great and don't worry too much about the small obstacles that you face. In the end your contributions will always be recognised! Yashovardhan (talk) 06:58, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

You are welcome and kudos to you for convincing me.Because of the creation of the article "International Cricket Records",we were able to have some friendly chats as well as nervous circumstances.Thanks a lot.Abishe (talk) 07:03, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

An AFC rejection...

Hi, may you clarify how Draft:Adam Schmalholz fitted under the purview of the following statement-- This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please see the guide to writing better articles for information on how to better format your submission..Thanks!Winged Blades Godric 13:26, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

@Winged Blades of Godric: seems like I selected the wrong criteria. I was going to select a custom rationale, anyways, check the comment. I believe it needs lots of work to come up to the Wiki standard. Just curious: Why're you interested? Is the author related to you? Yashovardhan (talk) 13:40, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
No.Was just skimming through the list of pending submissions when your rejection caught my notice.Anyways, irrespective of the potential of the article, please try to be as prudent and correct as possible regarding the rejection.(while it's true that a majority of AFC submissions are basically too worse to be ever mainspaced, I have seen some enthusiastic devoted contributors who come up with occasional gems after being vetted by multiple reviewers in the process!).Also it's always better to use the preview button before submitting a review.Cheers!Winged Blades Godric 13:50, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
@Winged Blades of Godric: Thanks! Yashovardhan (talk) 14:04, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Rivigo, The Draft

Dear Yashovardhan,

Firstly, thank you for accepting the article Rivigo, which I added. Next, I have a query. The article's header still shows Draft:Rivigo even though it has been moved to the main space. I wanted to know whether it is a usual occurrence or not. Please let me know if some other action needs to be performed from my end to make is appear without the Draft tag.

Thank you!

Regards,

Nirmit — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nirmit Arora (talk • contribs) 09:25, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

@Nirmit Arora: Thanks for bringing it to my notice. It's been moved back to the draft space because it looked like an advert. User:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi moved it back. Try improving the article to make it more neutral. If you're associated with the subject of the article, you must not write the article as per WP:COI. I suggest resubmitting it after rewriting it! Yashovardhan (talk) 09:45, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
@Yashovardhan Dhanania: I request you to read the article once more and let me know which part of it appears biased. I can also point you to a few articles which appear similar to mine and have been accepted, like OYO Rooms.
@Nirmit Arora: I feel particularly the logistics in India section is unnecessary, you could instead consider writing a more general article on logistics in India. As for the rest, i think you should contact the user who moved it back to the draft space. Do you have any Conflict of interest with the subject? If so, please specify it at the article talk page.

12:11:46, 6 April 2017 review of submission by AtulWikiacnt


Hi Yashovardhan, Thanks for giving time and review this article. Geetanjali Sharma is in "List of Yuva Puruskar Awardee" on Sangeet Natak Academy official website (provided in External Link section). The leading English news paper, The Hindu has an article on this award (Reference -1). She has also received Yash Bharti Award, the highest award from Uttar Pradesh. The leading Hindi news paper Dainik Jagran has an article on this (Reference-4) and Wiki page Yash Bharti Award also has her name(No. 28 in the year 2015). Are these references (The Hindu, Dainki Jagran and Wiki) are not reliable ? .. She has been consistently performing all over the country and abroad for last 18 years. Don't you think Wiki should have and article on her ? need your guidance. Thanks.

AtulWikiacnt (talk) 12:11, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

@AtulWikiacnt: I agree that the subject is notable but our WP:BLP requires that every contentious claim be supported with an inline citation. I suggest adding inline citations for every paragraph that's not been cited. Though, if you just add citations to the early life section, I'll accept it. Make these changes and resubmit it. Yashovardhan (talk) 12:18, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Request on 17:51:42, 6 April 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Sbjumper21


I am writing in regards to the reason for denial of our Wikipedia page. The reason given was that we used sources of content create by the user, which is false. Every single citation was from an independent news source including Forbes and GolfDigest (which are both highly reputable news sources). Please take a look at the sources again.

Thanks

Sbjumper21 (talk) 17:51, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

@Sbjumper21: roughly how many people are using this account? Yashovardhan (talk) 18:01, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Yashovardhan,

What account are you referring to? Do you mean how many people are using 18Birdies? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbjumper21 (talk • contribs) 18:55, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

@Sbjumper21: I'm referring to your Wikipedia account. You used the word 'us' and 'we' which is why I'm asking how many people are editing from the same Wikipedia account. Only one human is allowed per account and only one account per human. Yashovardhan (talk) 19:01, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
Oh I understand. Yes, I am the only one editing this account. You can check the page history to verify that I created it and have been updating it.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbjumper21 (talk • contribs) 19:24, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

@Sbjumper21: ok then. Regarding the draft, i am expecting more sources could be introduced. Moreover, it reads slightly like an advert which is against WP:NPOV. Also, if you've any conflict of interest with the subject, please let me know. Yashovardhan (talk) 19:30, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Yashovardhan. Yes we will have more news coverage of the company coming up, however Forbes and GolfDigest are among the most highly recognized media sources in the golf industry. For transparency, I am the public relations manager for the company. Do we need to hit a certain number of articles to resubmit? I will also see where I can edit it to make more neutral although I did my best to avoid including any positive adjectives and focused on features and being more informational. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbjumper21 (talk • contribs) 19:38, 6 April 2017 (UTC) @Sbjumper21: that indicates you have a conflict of interest. Before doing anything else, check WP:COI and declare your conflict in an appropriate manner. Yashovardhan (talk) 04:43, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Submission of The Software Tools Users Group (STUG)

Hello Yashovardhan, Thank you for your comment: "I have a strong feeling the author has a WP:COI which should be declared. The name of the coordinator of the project and the author seem to match."

Yes, of course, I was the leader of the project and I wrote the article. There had been a previous version of the article written by Peter Salus, who was once the Executive Director of Usenix. It was brief and in some places incorrect. It eventually disappeared from Wikipedia. For years I have been wanting to replace that, and finally got to it. During the same time period I served on the Usenix Board of Directors, even as President, so I was heavily involved with both organizations.

I was certainly not paid to write this article. I have now also included the COI designation in the article, as you suggested. If you wish, I could get someone like Peter Salus to check the article for accuracy. If you would like that, please let me know.

And thanks for taking the time to make your comment!

Dscherrer (talk) 19:44, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Dscherrer

@Dscherrer: thanks for the disclosure. You might want to get him fact check but that will again lead to another COI. Better leave it to someone from the community to check it. Thanks! Yashovardhan (talk) 04:46, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

AFC declines

Hey, I've noticed a few of your declines recently have been for "MOS" violations (lack of sections, headers, etc). MOS violations are never a reason to decline a draft. If there are issues with the formatting on an otherwise acceptable draft, fix them! It's much easier for an experienced editor to make those changes than for a relatively new user to struggle through (even if they have the WP:CHEATSHEET. Primefac (talk) 20:14, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

@Primefac: thanks for writing here! In almost all those cases, there was another thing or two missing for which it would be denied otherwise. I just mentioned the MOS point alongside. I accept there were a few cases which I purely denied for MOS. I'll try and fix them next time. Thanks! Yashovardhan (talk) 04:50, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

15:51:57, 7 April 2017 review of submission by AtulWikiacnt


Hi Yashovardhan, I have added citation to "Early Life" section. Reference-5 of the leading Hindi news paper Amar Ujala talks about her primary education, her national and international performances and awards. Please review it now.

Article Declined

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jannquell_Peters

Hello, we submitted a Politician article and it was declined. We did a lot of research on the front end about other political figures, including the following: Sam Massell, Anna Peterson, Theresa Thomlinson, Ceasar Mitchell, Mary Norwood, etc and it does not appear the notability as presented per their page is unlike what is presented in this article. 1) How are the citations listed in the above examples weighed differently than the ones in the Jannquell Peters draft? 2) As a reviewer, do you use sources outside of the ones presented in the articles to determine the notability of person? 3)I am a novice, is there a board or list of people that I can hire to fine tune the article (by the way I not Jannquell Peters)?

@4403atl: thanks for getting in touch
  1. we have a set policy for politicians - WP:POLITICIANS which clearly defines whether a politician is notable enough or not to have a Wikipedia article.
  2. As a reviewer, i might do a quick Google search to ascertain the notability of the subject. Though, in your case, I just read through the article and it was quick and easy to decide that she wasn't notable enough to have her own article.
  3. well, you night ask for help at editor assistance and other places for specific issues but there's no board on hire which will improve the article for you. You can get outside help but they are required to declare that they are being paid as per WP:COI.
I'd suggest going through the policy to ascertain on yourself whether the subject is notable enough. It's no point improving the article until our policies are met. Yashovardhan (talk) 02:17, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Paradise Garden(Georgia)

Hello Yashovardhan, 

 Pls clarify the reasons why my article,

Paradise Garden(Georgia) was declined. You cite: 1) lack of inline citations. I have read published wikipedia articles which did not have inline citations. Pls explain why inline citations are required in my article, but not others. 2) reads like an essay. Pls explain why you believe this. I believe that the entire article is neutral in tone and encyclopedic. Pls tell me specifically where this is not the case. 3)divide into sections. Pls explain why this would improve the article. Thanks for your time, and good luck with your exam Hespeb (talk) 21:21, 7 April 2017 (UTC)Hespeb

@Hespeb: please do not cite other articles to justify your article. If you believe an article isn't worthy enough to exist, go ahead and nominate it for deletion. I still believe all the points I mentioned apply. Read any article at WP:FA to get an idea of an ideal Wikipedia article. Yashovardhan (talk) 02:43, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
