Edit, humor into seriousness

Hello! I am C809, a fairly new editor. I noticed that you did this edit, which was made in good faith. However, based on the "humor" tag, I could tell they wanted the link to go to here. We both know that is not the real "beginning" of Wikipedia, however it was meant to be a "funny" joke, easter egg, trinket, etc. As it is not an encyclopedic article, would it be appropriate for your edit to be reverted? C809 (talk) 17:32, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Main Page was the original target of that link, and I think the joke is funnier that way, rather than going to WP:The beginning of Wikipedia, which is just the same joke as The End except worse. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 17:42, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay. Sorry for wasting your time, have a great day :) C809 (talk) 17:43, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:I Digress Podcast (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi, I had originally used an LLM for some suggestions, but since rewrote the content in my own words, so don't know why this is getting flagged again.

Dfwaterhouse (talk) 05:35, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake. I have updated the decline message to reflect another issue with your submission: the lack of notability of your topic, which must be shown by coverage in independent reliable sources. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 05:56, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm not sure how I can get more sources when it is so new. More than happy to but it doesn't have wider coverage yet. I'm honestly trying to do the right thing Dfwaterhouse (talk) 08:31, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If it hasn’t been covered by outside sources yet, that means it’s probably not ready to have a Wikipedia article. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 14:45, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion contested: User:Cjrhoads/Draft Integrative Medicine

Hello Pythoncoder. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of User:Cjrhoads/Draft Integrative Medicine, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not blatantly vandalism or a hoax. Thank you. jlwoodwa (talk) 08:54, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah you’re right. This is probably a sign that I was up too late looking for userspace spam and should go to sleep earlier. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 17:05, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Quick change request for userHighlighter.js

Hi pythoncoder, I noticed the newest update to userHighlighter.js migrating from mw.uri to the native JS URL had caused some errors to pop up because apparently URL expects the full path rather than just a relative path, or something like that. I think the easiest way to fix it would be to change the var url = link.attr('href'); line to use link.prop('href') instead, but I'm not to familiar with jQuery so I don't know if that might have side effects. Cheers! (and thanks for maintaining the script in the first place) Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:37, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Submission declined for rotatope

You recently declined a submission for rotatopes on wikipedia. I saw a page for polytopes, so I thought it would make sense to add rotatopes. There aren't many books on it so the only sources I could use were the web pages I listed. However, I think this definition should suffice: "the set of all shapes that exist in dimension $n$ that lie in the the $n$ -dimensional space between regions that are specified by $k$ equations of the form $x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}+...+x_{p}^{2}=r^{2}$ where $\sum _{i=1}^{k}p=n$ ." Doesn't the addition of this definition render the need for external sources unecessary? Ncgtr (talk) 23:42, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All draft submissions need to cite reliable sources in order to be accepted, regardless of whether the page contains a mathematical definition of the concept. If the concept has not been covered in reliable sources (wikis are not reliable sources), then it is not sufficiently notable to have a Wikipedia article. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 23:47, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My draft: Najah Roberts

Hi! You rejected my article for sounding like an advertisement. I'm new here, so I thought we were just supposed to take the literal verbiage from the sources we cited, and what I wrote was exactly how it was written on NBC News, the Los Angeles Sentinel, and other publications. Anywho, I tried to adjust it so hopefully it's better. Thanks! ~~~~ AshGolden (talk) 17:43, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your description of your previous submission doesn’t line up with its actual contents. Please take a look at it again and observe the large number of promotional phrases like “innovative”, “positively transform”, and “accelerate children’s knowledge”. Your revised draft is definitely an improvement, but if you have a conflict of interest with regard to the subject, you must disclose it — see the page WP:PSCOI for more information. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 20:46, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I removed all of that, even though again, that was the verbiage used on NBC News and other publications where I pulled the info from. There is no conflict of interest with regard to the subject, so that doesn't apply to me. I'll double check there are no other phrases like that, but I'm pretty sure I removed them.

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Pythoncoder:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in June!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.

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 3200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Draft: Ant International

Hi @Pythoncoder , thank you for reviewing my draft on Ant International. I noticed that the submission was declined with the reason that it contains promotional or advertising content.

Could you kindly help me understand specifically which parts of the article or which sources were considered promotional? I’d like to revise it to meet Wikipedia’s neutrality and sourcing standards, but I want to make sure I correct the appropriate sections.

Your guidance would be greatly appreciated. Apriliantosetyadi (talk) 06:08, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Coleman Douglas Pearls entry

Hello Pythoncoder,

Thanks for your time reviewing the intiial entry for Coleman Douglas Pearls - much appreciated! I've removed any unreferenced content and made the article objective and non-promotional based on your guidance. Please take a look and let me know if there are any other issues whenever you get a chance.

For context, I write blog posts and web content for the company and have been asked to write a Wikipedia entry as a one-off project. I will update the conflict of interest in my account now.

I was wondering if you could help with another issue regarding referencing. A lot of the sources we do have are physical copies of things like magazines and newspapers. Is there any way we can use these as references for additional information, such as scanning them or uploading pictures? It would be a shame not to include many of the company's historical successes.

Thanks

WikiMnemosyne (talk) 09:13, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiMnemosyne: You are welcome to use print sources (such as books, newspapers, and magazines) as references in your draft. See WP:OFFLINE for more guidance on this. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 18:15, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Thank you for the work you do.

I've worked on the article and would like you to take a look before I resubmit it for review. I'd appreciate to hear what you think of it.

Thanks for help. Iamwizzy (talk) 09:04, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Iamwizzy: While your topic seems notable, I'm going to let someone else review it this time around so the draft can be reviewed by a fresh set of eyes.

Origin of the word Oga

Thank you for your feedback, Pythoncoder. I may have used AI in modifying wordings and citing references,but that doesn't change the fact that my work is provable, fact-checkable, and linguistically and authoritatively backed by early documentaries.

I will work on a refined version; one that has no traces of AI or any of its influences.

I will be patiently waiting for your reply. Thanks in anticipation 🙏 Gemini22jnr (talk) 11:17, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clarifications on Sourcing and Original Research concerns

Origin of the word “Oga” Gemini22jnr (talk) 09:38, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification on Sourcing and Original Research Concerns

Hi Pythoncoder,

Thanks for your feedback. I’d like to take a moment to clarify that my edits are not Original Research WP:OR. Each claim I added is supported by a single, reliable source WP:RS — specifically, authoritative and published dictionaries that include: Samuel Àjàyí Crowther’s Vocabulary of the Yoruba Language (1852)

Thomas Jefferson Bowen’s Grammar and Dictionary of the Yoruba Language (1858)

The Church Missionary Society’s Yoruba Dictionary (1913)

Kay Williamson’s Dictionary of Onicha Igbo (1972)

The Oxford English Dictionary

Each of these references explicitly records the word “Oga” or its relevant cognates, especially in the context of the Yoruba language. I made sure not to interpret or combine information from multiple sources; every statement is directly cited from a single, verifiable source.

I also want to respectfully note that sister projects like Wikipedia and Wiktionary really should not present conflicting etymological claims on the same word — not unless both are backed by solid, published linguistic evidence. Presenting contradictory information without reliable support can hurt the credibility of Wikimedia projects, particularly when it concerns culturally and linguistically significant terms like "Oga."

At present, the article seems to favor an Igbo derivation, but this position appears to lack strong linguistic or historical support. In contrast, multiple authoritative sources — including Crowther (1852), Bowen (1858), the CMS Dictionary (1913), and even the Oxford English Dictionary — directly trace the term “Oga” to the Yoruba language. Even Kay Williamson’s Dictionary of Ọ̀nìchà Igbo specifically and explicitly annotated that the word is of Yorùbá Origin not Igbo .

The encyclopedia should remain anchored in verifiability — not interpretation or editorial speculation. Claims, especially those concerning word origins or derivations, need to be backed by reliable, published linguistic sources. This isn’t about dismissing any language or cultural contribution; it’s about protecting the integrity and reliability of the resource.

If there's a particular sentence in my contribution that seems unclear or that might resemble synthesis, I’d be more than happy to revisit it constructively. As it stands, however, everything I've included adheres to Wikipedia’s core policies on verifiability, reliable sourcing, and original research.

Thanks again for engaging, and I look forward to resolving this collaboratively.

Best regards, Gemini22jnr Gemini22jnr (talk) 09:46, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You didn’t write this either, did you? I’m getting strong ChatGPT vibes from this. Please note that repeatedly using LLMs to write talk page comments and passing them off as your own writing is a great way to get blocked —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 14:33, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello，Pythoncoder.

Thanks for your feedback. Really? I'm greatly mortified that you really do think every constructive writeup very much passes as ChatGpt's handiwork.

Firstly, despite the fact that I wasn't too happy with your last comment, I refuse to allow such determine how I'm going to react at this present moment. Nine years as an editor on Wikipedia is not a day's job, and as a result, I'm not going to start bandying words with someone I sincerely reckon is a veteran on this platform, to say the least.

Secondly, I do admit that I may/may not have employed the services of AI (as ChatGpt is not the only AI available to humans), in making incipient edits. For that; my most sincere apologies!

Thirdly, I might be a lazy writer, but if there is anything at all I do consider an everlasting hobby, that would be writing. As a Logophile and etymophile (if there is anything like that at all) 😎

I am someone who is inclined towards accuracy and verifiability. However, could that be because I'm an accounting student? Who knows?

Lastly , I would like you to take a look into the penultimate message I sent you, as regards the origin of the term “Oga.” I would be highly honoured if this plea of mine is replied to in the affirmative.

Best regards, señor 🙇🙏

, Gemini22jnr (talk) 16:03, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your most recent edit earlier today. Your latest contribution shows that you have listened to the feedback Indy beetle and I provided, and the claims you made are backed up by the sources you provided. I hope you continue constructively contributing to Wikipedia — I wouldn’t still be here after 9 years if I didn’t think it was a special place. Part of what makes it special is that as the rest of the internet becomes more corporate, noisy, and artificial, Wikipedia remains unmistakably human. To that end, I’d much rather read articles/comments written by real people with a few grammar mistakes than AI-generated content that’s highly polished but unreliable and short on substance. (Thanks for taking the time to write your last comment on your own rather than using a chatbot.) If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me on this page or head over to the Teahouse or help desk. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 01:31, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @MarvinFathi, it's very curious that you're trying to create italic text using *Markdown* instead of ''wiki markup''.

- Draft:AustChina Institute (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi @Pythoncoder: Thanks for reviewing my article submission.

You mentioned there are several issues with my submission on "AustChina Institute", including: 1) The use of informal tone: Could you pls give me an example of where I haven't used formal tone? 2) The use of peacock terms: Could you pls give me an example of where I've used a 'peacock term'?

I've also checked these issues you highlighted we two colleagues who also agree that the article that I've submitted is of a professional tone, neutral and should qualify as being in an encyclopedic format. But if you could give me examples of the 2 questions that I've listed above, it will assist me greatly to get a better understanding of your point and view and I'll be able to immediately correct the issue.

Thanks, much appreciated!

DLJ243 (talk) 06:15, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The decline message is a form letter and not all the text is necessarily relevant when describing the issues with your draft. As it stands right now, the article does a good job of showing how the AustChina institute sees itself, but what's missing is what independent sources think of it. Adding reliable secondary sources is also needed to prove notability. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 15:42, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
