Citadel Securities edit request

Hi Encoded, I had been in discussion with another editor about my request on the Citadel Securities page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Citadel_Securities#Summarizing_details. I see that the other editor has not really been online, so I was wondering if you'd be willing to look over my revision, as you have edited the page in the past. Thank you so much.

Hi @Cduffymul, sorry for taking so long to reply to you. I'm currently working through the backlog of requests which is around ~130 long so it might take me a few days to get to this depending on where it is in the queue. Apologies for the delay, Encoded Talk 💬 06:54, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've just found it in the queue - should be today or tomorrow, sorry for such a long wait! I think we've lost one or two reviewers Encoded Talk 💬 07:09, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Jeans BFD on User talk:KylieTastic (13:03, 5 July 2025)

hey i saw that my article got declined but i cant find other reliable recourse other than the mod's original page, what should i use then for it to be reliable? --Jeans BFD (talk) 13:03, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Jeans BFD, I'm assuming this is regarding JEI? I'm quite familiar with the topic having used the mod myself, I'm not too sure it has enough significant coverage to qualify for it's own article but may be best having a section in Minecraft modding#Mod content. However, if you did want to try write an article news stories/blogs might be your best bet but I don't think that these enough would qualify it. Thanks, Encoded Talk 💬 23:01, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
	For your work on the COI edit request backlog, which I, at least, managed to get pretty tired of. Nice to see the number going down and not up sometimes. Rusalkii (talk) 18:15, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! :D Encoded Talk 💬 11:24, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Operation Logo.webp

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Operation Logo.webp. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 01:57, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from AIAEditor57 (22:14, 9 July 2025)

I just created a new category in my sandbox entitled Chancellors of the AIA College of Fellows. And I need help publishing it so it live. Can you help? --AIAEditor57 (talk) 22:14, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @AIAEditor57, I've created the category here: Category:Chancellors of the AIA College of Fellows. I'm unable to add pages that don't exist, the software won't allow it, so I've only been able to add the ones in your sandbox with links. One or two didn't have any mention of them being chancellor in the article with reliable sources so I've also left them out for now as policy dictates.

If you'd like to add any more pages, go to the page you'd like to add, click Edit ->

menu -> Categories -> Enter into the text box, then click the category to add it -> Publish/save changes.

Hope this helps, Encoded Talk 💬 23:15, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from AIAEditor57 (22:18, 11 July 2025)

Asking for a little help and Guidance.

I started and (believe I) published a new page for a well known Architect "Sylvester Damianos" and it was under User:AIAEditor57 in my sandbox. Is it under review?

Let me know.

THX --AIAEditor57 (talk) 22:18, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @AIAEditor57, I've moved your draft to Draft:Sylvester Damianos and submitted it for review on your behalf so someone should be able to review it for you soon. To submit drafts for review, you can add the draft article template to the page and click 'submit' (I've done this for you for this article). Hope this helps, Encoded Talk 💬 23:48, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from IAN HIKE WOODY (08:05, 16 July 2025)

How do I correct a factual error? --IAN HIKE WOODY (talk) 08:05, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @IAN HIKE WOODY, you can be WP:BOLD and fix it by clicking the edit button at the top right of the page. You might need reliable sources to back up the new claim if the existing sources are unsuitable. If it’s an article you have a conflict of interest with you’ll need to open an edit request. Hope this helps, if you have any further questions or would like me to take a look at the specific issue please let me know. Thanks, Encoded Talk 💬 08:19, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
