Viva Knieval (band)

[edit]

You undid my move from the misspelled Viva Knievel to the correct Viva Knieval. There is a band named Viva Knievel however it is not the one the article is based on. Look here for the correct band: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1565745-Viva-Knieval

Note the spelling and move the article back to the correct title. Chavando (talk) 03:13, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Chavando: Viva Knievel (band) cites two sources that I can access: a webpage by Kathleen Hanna and a New Yorker article. Both spell the band's name as "Viva Knievel". The details in those sources match the Wikipedia article, so I don't think this is a matter of "two similarly-named but unrelated bands". Also note that Discogs is not a reliable source. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:34, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The artwork on the band's EP spells it Viva Knieval. Change it back. 03:57, 14 January 2025 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chavando (talk • contribs) 03:57, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 22:53:34, 2 January 2025 for assistance on AfC submission by EScott88er

[edit]


Hello. I have been requested to create an artist page for a rapper named Mega Buck$. I am trying to create the page and am having a difficult time getting the page approved. What can I do on my end to allow the publishing of the page?

EScott88er (talk) 22:53, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@EScott88er: At Articles for Creation, a draft is only accepted if it demonstrates the notability of its subject. Does Mega Buck$ meet at least one of the twelve criteria for musicians? If he does, then you should add that information to your draft, along with a citation to a reliable source that verifies the information. If he doesn't meet any of the criteria, then Wikipedia should not have an article about him. jlwoodwa (talk) 23:26, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Karmant (Band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Why my page was marked deleted

[edit]

My page that i created shark tank india season 4 was marked for deletion. for the image. i have now removed the image will it be good to be publish now? Scrapjaw (talk) 12:02, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand what you mean. Shark Tank India season 4 was draftified yesterday, but it wasn't because of the image. The article is now back in mainspace, i.e. already "published". jlwoodwa (talk) 19:37, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder: GA backlog drive

[edit]

Hello! Just a reminder that, if you have time, you are welcome to join the ongoing GA backlog drive; it runs until the end of January. You are receiving this message because you signed up on the drive page but have not yet listed any reviews. We hope to see you there!

[edit]

Hey @Jlwoodwa, thanks for retargeting Sung Hoon (singer) faster than I can. Small note: After retargeting a redirect to a dab page, it is best practice to retarget the links as well (User:BilledMammal/Move+ can help with this). This will ensure that the pages that link to the redirect after the move are not links to dab page, especially as the links in those articles are not ambiguous. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 06:55, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I knew about that in the context of moving pages, but it didn't come to mind in the context of redirect patrolling. Thanks for the reminder! jlwoodwa (talk) 07:31, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

15th annual nfl honors deletion

[edit]

Is there a way you either keep the draft of the article there and redirect the main page back over to NFL Honors so that way the draft article stays there (since I had to begin the main page to create the draft page) Hoopstercat (talk) 14:52, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DRAFT: Derwin John Pereira

Thanks for the translation attribution

[edit]

Thank you for adding required translation attribution in this edit to the history of Forte Belvedere Gschwent, on behalf of the original editor (Pguggia (talk · contribs)[noping]) who neglected to do so in their original edits. Please note that the suggested wording when repairing missing attribution is slightly different: when adding original translation attribution, the suggested wording is at WP:TFOLWP; when adding it retroactively, as you did, the wording is given at WP:RIA ("Repairing Insufficient Attribution"). And thanks also for flagging an apparent COPYVIO, even though it turned out to be a reverse copy issue after investigation.

By the way, there are templates available to you: see {{Unattributed translation}} to flag articles that are missing attribution; and {{Uw-translation}} and {{Uw-unattribcc}} to advise users who fail to attribute their articles. Keep up the good work! Mathglot (talk) 08:29, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the links! It's good to know there's a template for saying "this might be translated" when you're not confident enough to make a WP:RIA edit summary of "this was translated".
I've been using User:CFA/scripts/AttributeTranslation to generate the dummy edits and warnings, and it doesn't include the in the edit of 01:25, January 25, 2023 wording that RIA suggests, but I think it's probably alright to omit that part when the article itself was created as a translation. Does that seem right, or should I ask CFA to add this feature to his script? jlwoodwa (talk) 17:50, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Changes to (/ Review of) Draft:Grillz By Scotty

[edit]

Greetings @Jlwoodwa,

I appreciate your feedback regarding the Draft:Grillz By Scotty article.

The content was carefully researched and written. I have already gone through the article and made additional adjustments to further neutralize the tone and eliminate promotional language, ensuring it aligns with Wikipedia's guidelines.

While grammatical tools were used to refine the wording for consistency and clarity, the article was still manually written and put together. Every sentence and citation has been reviewed and verified by a human as credible and reliable.

The "Grillz By Scotty" article will continue to be monitored and updated as necessary to ensure that the language remains neutral and free from promotional content. A request for users to review the article for potential promotional language and the inclusion of additional information from reliable sources has been added to the "Grillz By Scotty" talk page. Additionally, a/an ("{{advert}}") tag has been placed directly on the article itself, indicating the same request, utilizing the appropriate channels and methods provided by Wikipedia.

Thank you for pointing out your concerns, and if you have any additional suggestions regarding the Grillz By Scotty draft article, which I plan to officially submit soon for review, or if there are any specific sections of the article or references that you would like removed or reviewed, feel free to let me know. I'm open to improving the article where and if genuinely needed.

Respectfully,

ATLFAVORITE (talk) 07:27, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ATLFAVORITE: Please don't send me AI-generated messages. They tend to contain hallucinations and meaningless puffery. I would prefer seeing what you think, even if your writing is "rougher" without the AI. jlwoodwa (talk) 02:21, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 18:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@2601AC47 While I do think Jlwoodwa would likely serve well as an administrator in the future, I think nominating them out of the blue isn't for the best? "Briefly speaking, I personally know little about Jlwoodwa myself, but in their nearly 2 years of contributing and supporting Wikipedia, they seemingly have done very well" is not a statement that really inspires confidence in the nomination, and I think it sets up Woodwa for unnecessary issues during a run; as a nominator, you want to ensure minimum distractions/drama for your candidate. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 18:56, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I did my research throughly before doing this nom. Sure, they may want a little bit more experience, but with that many contributions over the last 24 months (most having to do with WP's key functions), it'll be worthwhile to, ya'know, try-out. Perhaps, barring anything that maybe worrisome and subject to intense scrutiny, we should give them a chance to prove their readiness to us contributors? 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 19:03, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Moneytrees. I'd recommend in the future asking folks if they want your RFA nomination first before creating their RFA page. RFA can be an unpleasant process for the candidate, and it is not usually a good idea to throw people into the process without consulting with them first. I would also recommend not posting anymore on Jimbo's talk page, as you are being a bit rude to him there and a lot of people watch that page so social gaffes on that page can do reputational damage. Hope this advice helps. Happy editing. –Novem Linguae (talk) 19:27, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@2601AC47 (edit conflict) Let me put it like this: while RfA has definitely gotten nicer in recent times, opposition can be generated by innumerable factors. Something people have opposed RfAs over in the past is the candidate accepting despite a scant nomination statement. For several editors, a nomination statement will be their first introduction to the candidate, so highlighting their attributes is essential. Often times, a particular field they work in, or articles they've written, or interactions they've had, are highlighted (check some of what I've written here for example). You don't do that in your nomination; this sets up people to learn about the candidate via the votes that are subsequently cast and the candidate's answers to questions. You have not adequately protected your candidate from something "worrisome" that could get mentioned in a vote-- something that could threaten a run, even if it's not a real issue-- RfA can be cruel like that! Reaching out to offer a nomination was a kind gesture, but ultimately accepting an RfA would just set you and Woodwa up for trouble. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 19:33, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated it for deletion at MfD. This is in no way a reflection of what I think about your editing or whether you should be an admin or not, it's just that this is the completely wrong way to start an RfA, as explained at WP:RFA. Fram (talk) 19:40, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And I have deleted the nomination page for the same reason. Again, this is absolutely no reflection on you or your editing. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 20:46, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Moneytrees and Novem Linguae: Thanks for your comments. I don't think I'm ready for RfA yet, and I would have told 2601AC47 that if they had asked first. @Fram and Newyorkbrad: Thanks for getting the nomination subpage deleted, and making it about procedure rather than about me. jlwoodwa (talk) 16:14, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
