Ben Lerer Draft

Hello, S0091! A while back, you and I discussed the Ben Lerer draft. I've kept a copy in my userspace, and recently added a new source from Fortune that covers Ben in some detail. I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look and let me know if you think it's worth resubmitting to AfC at this point? This diff shows the changes I made. Cheers! BINK Robin (talk) 16:46, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

AfC log

Hello, I noticed that you reverted my revision on a subpage of your userpage. It was entirely reasonable to do that, and I apologize for not asking for permission before editing it. However though, I would like you to please reconsider. I've recently changed the username of my main account, and have been trying to remove any trace of the old one with an alternate that I will vanish later (hence my IP address reply). It matters quite a bit to me to separate myself from the name, so it'd be appreciated if you could assist with that. 24.24.227.56 (talk) 23:53, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Please log into your account when editing. I assume you are User:Koopastar2/User:Popturtle and are referring to my revert of this edit where you changed my AfC log page from to User:Koopastar2 to User:Popturtle for a draft I declined. What you are trying to do is not possible and per WP:VANISH it applies to a person not an account (i.e. you cannot vanish if you are still editing even from a different account). Pinging @Cabayi who is an admin and performs name changes to provide some guidance (and to correct me if I am wrong). S0091 (talk) 20:46, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
Just so. Vanishing is for users who are leaving Wikipedia for good. You appear to have a WP:CLEANSTART in mind which depends on keeping a distance between the two accounts. Any editor who is able to put 2 & 2 together on-wiki is free to do so. Cabayi (talk) 10:36, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Draft:Jennifer Ashley Tepper

Hey S0091, why the revert? I assumed I had mucked something up and missed it but after checking I can't see the reason for it? Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:45, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention @KylieTastic. I don't recall making the revert and clearly it was an error on my part. My best guess is I had a couple pages up and reverted the wrong one or perhaps I was possessed by a Gremlin. :) S0091 (talk) 21:43, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
No worries, I have done accidental reverts multiple times - luckily I noticed most myself :) - just glad I wasn't missing something obvious. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 21:49, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
@KylieTastic you remind of an IT developer I worked closely with for a few years who really knew her stuff. She knew the system, the right questions to ask, the flags the raise, etc. and genuinely never wrong. The one time she was wrong about something, I marked it on my calendar. She and I giggled then quickly moved on to all work at hand. S0091 (talk) 22:19, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Regarding Bajirao I Article template addition

Hi. Glad to know you are interested in contributing to the above mentioned article but it's good to have discussion before addition of such templates. As you already know most of information recently added had been sourced and you can't claim all sources are biased and contain weasel words. If you have any sources which strictly promote what you think I will like to have a look at those. Till then I am reverting your edit as it seems a POV push. Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 07:01, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Mohammad Umar Ali, the fact you think the tags were POV and that I want to "promote" something says more about you than me and it's clear you did not bother to read the tags as neither of them said all the sources are biased. Nor did you bother to follow the links within them. Had you done so, you'd understand why using phrases like he had "a passion for military adventure" and "Bajirao displayed a passion for the military" are problematic and fall afoul of Wikipedia's WP:Neutral point of view policy. You've removed the tags...so be it. Any Wikipedia editor worth their salt will see the problems and some of issues have already been noted on talk page. S0091 (talk) 23:26, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
So, do you mean that sources or authors can't use such terms, if that's the case i am afraid you have to post such tags on many articles on Wikipedia as many articles contain what you call "vague phrases". Besides, I am well aware of most of the policies so you don't have to remind me what's neutral and what's not. I think you yourself don't understand the mentioned policy which says: Generally, do not remove sourced information from the encyclopedia solely because it seems biased. Instead, try to rewrite the passage or section to achieve a more neutral tone. Biased information can usually be balanced with material cited to other sources to produce a more neutral perspective, so such problems should be fixed when possible through the normal editing process. Remove material when you have a good reason to believe it misinforms or misleads readers in ways that cannot be addressed by rewriting the passage. The sections below offer specific guidance on common problems. I have used no original research in the article. I could have cited more sources but many citations are not allowed (ig you know that). Also talk page is for discussions, if something meaningful is agreed upon I shall be happy to comply with it. And what do you find biased in the article do you have any reliable source (WP:RS) in support for what you wanna add or remove from the artice? Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 05:48, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Stevie Stiletto and The Switchblades

Greetings. Thanks for the note on one of the pages I'm trying to add. I did find that the band was written about through Googele Books so thank you. How would you suggest i incorporate them as references? Albieabbiati (talk) 17:43, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Albieabbiati, be sure when you are in edit mode you are using the Visual Editor. When you select edit, on the top right corner there is pencil icon where you can choose which editing tool (Source or Visual Editor). Select Visual Editor then follow the instructions at WP:INTREFVE. Essentially, you copy the Google Book url into the Automatic citation function, click Generate and it will format it for you, then Insert. I did add one book by Kevin Dunn to the draft and reformatted your citations so take a look. I took a stab at placing them in-line but you can move them as needed (in edit mode drag and drop or cut/paste the footnote number in the prose).
You can also use the same source multiple times which you will likely need to do so everything is cited in-line to a source (see Reusing references in the instructions but you can also use copy/paste like above). It's pretty easy once you get steps down. There's also at least a couple Billboard sources in Google Books. The Automatic function does not work well with Billboard because it thinks it's a book rather than magazine but use the Automatic function anyway (something is better than nothing) then leave me a note and I will reformat them for you if you use them. No need to wait for me to do so, though. When you are ready to resubmit the draft, submit it. Formatting, etc. can take place anytime. Having adequate sources to meet the notability criteria is much more important. S0091 (talk) 18:54, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
You are so kind! Thanks for the lessons. Albieabbiati (talk) 17:41, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

User:86.160.247.245

Re: your comment if this editor reverts again, report them on User talk:86.160.247.245, the IP has again reverted edits on TVR and TVR Griffith. I'm not sure where to go for this, eg. if it falls under WP:DRN, WP:AN3, WP:RFC, or somewhere else. Would you be willing to open the request, as you seem more familiar with the process?

Additionally, I'm technically guilty of three reverts on TVR, so I don't want to push my luck. Iiii I I I (talk) 00:23, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

@Iiii I I I the place to report edit warring is WP:AN3 but you're right, if you've been edit warring as well likely either you'll both be blocked or the articles locked. That would be case even I reported it. There's another editor who piped in at Talk:TVR so I suggest continuing the discussion with them. From what I understand, it sounds like some reworking of the articles might be helpful to make things more clear. If after doing that, if the IP reverts again then you have WP:consensus behind you. Don't revert; just report them. The other benefit is by the time you work things out on the talk page, the IP may have moved on anyway or at least calmed down. S0091 (talk) 19:08, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Noteable topic i.e. others and new sources

Hi, is there something specific that needs to be addressed for Draft:Venhue to be included along with its peers? I.e. Foxface Natural. Trying to document East Village restaurants. Venhue has been noted on The Today Show, Yelp and other major publications many sources have been provided. Nycrest (talk) 18:29, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

@Nycrest It has been explained to you time and again why the sources are not sufficient. At this point, it is past time for you to move on. Continuing will result in you being blocked for wasting the community's time. S0091 (talk) 19:40, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
I am not submitting without new sources, everytime this has been submitted, it has been submitted with new sources (credible sources from major news outlets), I am not sure why this is being met with such defensiveness. I imagine Wikipedia should revisit situations where new sources come to light.
I am just curious how many other sources are required for it to be notable? is there a specific source in mind? Right now there are 7 sources from major publications The Today Show, NBC New York, Business Insider, Yelp Business, Eater, Islands, etc.
We want our restaurants to be represented from our community, that's all. Nycrest (talk) 04:39, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

About the draft of "Holy Week in Segovia"

First of all, I deeply thank you for your commentary on the draft, I was starting to worry that I wouldn't get any feedback, I've already started working on the pages you suggested.

Secondly about the sources: While the web page tries to promote the event, it is also the official page for the Holy Week in Segovia, being backed up by the Junta of Castile and León as can be seen in the bottom of the main page, I have used this page to obtain the data about the date of founding of the brotherhoods, which I think is something the source should be able to cover reliably. And about the book, while it is published by a local editor, the author uses the report made by the Junta of Cofradías to try and get the goverment to declare the Holy Week in Segovia as a Fiesta of National Interest, as one of the main sources. If you want I can post a photo of the page of the book that contains the bibliography (it is in spanish, tho)

And finally: I have tried searching for other sources, but most of them are either personal blogs or very short traductions from official sites, so I would say that the sources I've used for the article are the most complete available.

Again, thank you very much for your commentary and allowing me to improve my articles, every single possible commentary and critique are welcome. Mateo MD (talk) 20:47, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

@Mateo MD I have to honest with you, if all the sources you have are based on those promoting it in one way or another, whether that be to get the event recognized as a Fiestas of National Tourist Interest of Spain or once it was to continue to promote it, both of which is about tourist money rather than historical accuracy and significance then I'm not sure it can meet the English Wikipedia's notability guidelines. However, the reason I left a comment rather than a review, which would be a decline, is in case another reviewer might see it differently. On top of that, I thought it was unfair you did not get a response from the initial reviewer which was a concern you rightfully noted at the AfC helpdesk. S0091 (talk) 21:38, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
@S0091 Thanks for the reply. I also thought that is was quite unfair that I didn't get any explanation, but since I'm not that familiar with the English Wikipedia's procedures I prefered to wait a month just in case the editor that reviewed the draft was taking their time.
While the Fiesta of National Tourist Interest does (obviously) have the objective of promoting the event in a turistical way, it also takes into consideration the history and cultural value of the event (as explained in the BOE-A-2019-11573, Article 4) therefore, the work memory must include a section detailing the history of the event which is then reviewed by Ministry of Industry and Tourism, taking this into consideration, I would say that the data provided by the book should be reliable.
Unfortunately the Holy Week in Segovia is overshadowed by other Holy Weeks of Castile, but it still has a lot of cultural and historical heritage, it is also the biggest economic event of the city as (according to the City Council) around 30.000 people visited the city during this time (to put it into scale, this is more than half of the city's population). Since Segovia is quite a small city, most of the historical investigations and data collecting were done by the Junta of Cofradías with the purpose of using that data to promote the event and while that information is being used to promote the event, it doesn't mean that is unreliable.
Again, thank you for your interest, I'm hoping that another editor can also review the draft and give their opinion on the sources, since it looks that all of the complains come from them. Mateo MD (talk) 15:33, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
@Mateo MD I think the book and likely the website are reliable so that, at least to me, is not a concern. It's if they establish notability, which requires sources meet several criteria as outlined in WP:NEVENT and also WP:GNG. What I suggest doing is adding a note a the draft's talk page explaining the sources as you did here. Once you do that, let me know and I will leave a comment on the draft letting the next reviewer know to look at the talk page. S0091 (talk) 16:13, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
@S0091 I cannot thank you enough for your help. I will set up the explanation in the Talk page as soon as I can.
Again, I deeply thank you for helping me in this topic Mateo MD (talk) 17:55, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Nico Cappelluti. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because See talk page, there are too many problems at the moment. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:58, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

@Ldm1954 thanks for the extra set of eyes. Sometimes I do accept drafts I think are borderline so appreciate NPP/other editor's view. S0091 (talk) 16:17, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
