SysCAD

Thanks for looking over Draft:SysCAD - I have updated the reference to the original article on the company's page rather than LinkedIn. Any other advice on how to proceed with having this published would be greatly appreciated.

Review Draft:Jackson Groves

Hello,

thank you for reviewing Draft:Jackson Groves. I appreciate your contributions to WP. Due to the low sources, it got declined by you and after reading to your suggestions i have come up with the new references.

I request you to please review it again. Thank you. Mohirfan03 (talk) 00:05, 13 February 2021 (IST)

e-flux draft

Hi there, many thanks for your helpful comments about the sources list in Draft:e-flux. I've gone through and replaced the links to their page with reliable sources. Would you mind taking another look, please? Much appreciate your time! Thanks, Pizzarat222 (talk) 14:53, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Theroadislong, I hope you are well! I wanted to follow up to check the status of this draft I was editing. Please let me know if you're able to take another look. I think e-flux is a really valuable resource for students (like myself), so I hope the page can get back up soon. Thanks!Pizzarat222 (talk) 16:27, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Kristian Smith

Hi Theroadislong,

Thanks for reviewing my page on Kristian Smith. Your last comment states that the references don't reference Kristian Smith. A good amount of them do. Obviously it will only be the career page that has pertinent references. Institutions like University aren't able to publish full alumni lists. I have also added imdb link for Kristian Smith which carries all of Kristian's credits and is verified against programmes, so hopefully is fully credible. I've also attached press articles referencing Kristian. And a link to his company website. I hope that answers your concerns.

All best wishes

Bimblebuster No I'm afraid that the sources need to cover him in-depth with significant coverage and IMDb is NOT a reliable source and his own website is not independent so of no use. Theroadislong (talk) 22:29, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Submission review

Thanks for your reply, theroadislong. Are you able to advise what references would qualify and I'll add those in. I did add independent press articles. Should I add more of those?

 Hello,
  The draft I wrote has been declined for wikipedia in English, but it has been existing in French (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franck_Michelin) and Japanese (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/フランク・ミシュラン) for several years. Is there any clear reason?

Re: Paid Editing

Hello Theroadislong. I appreciate your mail, but first and foremost, I wasn't compensated now nor will I be paid in the future either directly or indirectly for editing this article. I don't know the Monarch and I have never met him, his neutral views and natural contribution to national discourse really attracted him to me and I think he is line with my vision of bringing our local communities and leaders closer to the global world to digitize and archive their history...this is huge to be paid for, it can only be done via interest and for posterity.

I am an African Culture and Heritage enthusiast, that aim at bringing our local African communities and their leaders closer to the global world through archiving their history and resourcefulness via digitizing via web presence for future generation, research and for other important things.

This is a means of keeping our local contents safe in which I think wikipedia should be a better way of achieving this. Majority of African culture and and traditions are going into extinct due to the fact that nobody cares to archive them ….for the future generation, I now take it upon myself to kick it, to try my best for others to emulate.

Theroadislong, if the structure of my article give the impression that it is a paid one, I am using this medium to reiterate that my notion for developing this article is strongly misconstrued, I am not paid to do this and am not in the future looking for compensation from anybody for doing this, am doing this for posterity sake based on my interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdioOki (talk • contribs) 23:34, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment regarding my draft---need help!

"this will need re-writing in a dry neutral, encyclopedic tone before being submitted for review." I really thought I had submitted my draft appropriately with neutral language. Please advise on how I can improve it and how I will know that it has been submitted properly and is under review. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vegan4theAnimals (talk • contribs) 13:30, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

You need to click the large blue button that reads "Submit the draft for review!" non neutral tone includes "It was founded on the philosophy that meeting the animals who society views as mere commodities and sharing their individual stories on tours and through outreach and education is a powerful way to change the perception of farmed animals as food to individuals with unique personalities and desires." which is basically a mission statement, (not encouraged) "The sanctuary attracted scores of volunteers" "a 336 acre historic farm" "a popular local attraction." other content is just plain advertising and has no place in an encyclopaedia article. Do you have any conflict of interest to declare I wonder? Theroadislong (talk) 13:38, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

I would have, too

In normal circumstances I would AfD or CSD that on sight, but I see no harm in the enterprse and am interested in the (inevitabe?) outcome. I shall not participate in the discussion. Fiddle Faddle 18:00, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

requesting advice about Flajolet Prize webpage

Theroadislong, I would love to (please) request your help. I maintain the webpage for the international Analysis of Algorithms AofA scientific community. (I am a Statistics Professor at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.) In full humility, this is the first time that I built a draft of a Wikipedia page.

For the last 8 years, the AofA community has been awarding the Flajolet Prize in memory of Philippe Flajolet, who was the scientific leader of this entire research community. He had more than 200 research publications and was well known and loved in this community.

The closest prize to this one is the Knuth Prize, which has a Wikipedia page and lists the recipients. Although the Flajolet Prize is newer (only 8 years old), the recipients are very distinguished in their careers.

The Steering Committee for this scientific community asked me to draft a Wikipedia page about this scientific prize. It is not for my self-promotion. (I am not famous and I am unlikely to ever win this prize!) I am simply documenting the scientific award on behalf of this community.

I sent some emails to the Steering Committee and also on the community's Slack channel, to seek feedback and guidance during the review process.

I realize that I made one rookie mistake when I submitted the page, namely, I accidentally put a "Channel" link for Flajolet and I realize now that he does not have a channel. I apologize for this.

Can you please provide some advice for me? I would welcome your help. Thank you very much.

P.S. My role in the Analysis of Algorithms community is NOT a paid role. The entire community are only scientists. There are no membership fees or paid officers or anything like that. We are all just scientists who work in a very active research community. We want to document the recipients of the Flajolet Prize now that this community has given the award 4 times and is preparing to make the 5th award.

OK, I added the website for the international Analysis of Algorithms community, and I also added a new section that explains that this award is comparable to the Knuth Prize.

In terms of the content given in this Wikipedia article, just FYI, there is more content on this new Wikipedia page than on the Knuth Prize webpage.

The user Possibly (very kindly) removed the large block description (ok with me), and I added (instead) the description about the topics covered by the award. I sent Possibly a thank you note, for helping to edit this page.

Sincerely, Mark Daniel Ward, Ph.D.

MDW333 (talk) 15:30, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

You say " I am simply documenting the scientific award on behalf of this community."

I think that you have a common misunderstanding as to the purpose of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a place for organisations to tell the world about themselves or their awards, like social media or their own website is. This is an encyclopedia, and as an an encyclopedia Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a subject, showing how it meets WP:GNG. You also need to declare your conflict of interest on your user page. Theroadislong (talk) 17:08, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Theroadislong (talk) Thanks for asking! I want to clarify this issue. I don't give the award, and I am not on the selection committee, and it does not come from my university. In fact, I am not involved in picking the recipient at all. I'm just a professor who does research in a large community of scientists from many universities. We are not paid and it is not part of any of my official duties. This is just an scientific research area that happens to give a prize to some scientists (from a scientific society; not from me). I'm just starting the documentation about this award, but I am guessing that others who work in this research area will chime in too, making edits once the page is available. Indeed, I sent a broad email in the community, to seek feedback about the page. It's not about me, and I'm not on the organizing committee, and I don't pick the award winner or anything like that. My only involvement is helping to maintain a webpage where some events from this community are organized. I just added a note about this on my user page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MDW333 I want to emphasize that this award is also NOT given by Purdue University. I am just a professor who is interested in this topic. I believe that I am (to use your phrasing) an INDEPENDENT RELIABLE SOURCE. I've never been on the selection committee for this award, and I'm not getting nominated for it, or anything like that. I just help this large research community to document some of the activities in the community, e.g., editorial work and reviews and things like that, and I don't get paid for it.

You are clearly NOT an independent or reliable source, if as you say you are helping this large research community to document some of the activities, then you are not independent of it, and to be reliable sources need to be published. Theroadislong (talk) 18:04, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much for asking about this point Theroadislong. I appreciate your question about this. If you look at the places where the award is given, and where the international lecture occurs, you will see that it has been given in Paris, France, and in Krakow, Poland, and in Uppsala, Sweden. This is not a Purdue award. I added a note to state that I am a faculty member, but I do not get paid for any of this work in this research. I'm just a scientist who works in this area. I'm not getting paid for this, and the award does not come from my university, and it is my scientific area of expertise. For comparison (I think) all pages about mathematics and computer science activities will be edited by people who work in those areas. Correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MDW333 (talk • contribs) 18:08, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

talk thank you for your additional comments this morning about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Flajolet_Lecture_Prize You kindly mentioned that the sources are primary but you said that they are not independent. I am a scientist in this area but I am just documenting a prize that is awarded in this scientific area. I will emphasize again that I am not on the selection committee for the prize, and it has been given since 2014 in this scientific area of research. The references that I added are just documenting the conferences where the prize is awarded.

For comparison, let's take a look at this prize: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth_Prize It is given by the ACM and by the IEEE. All three references given in the article are to ACM sites directly. These are two of the most well known prizes in this area of science. I saw that you added a note on 20 March 2021 that says that the article might not meet the "general notability guideline" for Wikipedia.

How about this potential method for constructively improving Wikipedia? I will try to add some references for both of these prizes this weekend. Both of these prizes are really well known in this area of science, and they are really a "big deal". The recipients are some of the most well known scientists who work in these scientific areas. The people that the awards are named for, Knuth and Flajolet, have each published more than 200 research papers in top-tier journals, and the prizes given in their name are recognizing big achievements.

I'll try to add some references to help further explain. I appreciate your constructive feedback. I'll work on this during the weekend. Thank you! MDW333 (talk) 11:04, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Resubmission of Draft: Soham Chakraborty (Fashion Designer)

Thanks! Dangdeguzman27 (talk) 23:04, 20 March 2021 (UTC).

HI

Hi @Theroadislong Why do you say that the Salvatore Ruocco page cannot be on wikipedia? Salvatore Ruocco is on the French, Italian Wikipedia. There is also a source, the reliable solid for the actors: IMDB. You can give me an advice? I think there are all the references to be on wikipedia. I thank you in advance

It is irrelevant that they are on other language Wikipedias, they have VERY different guidelines. IMDb is NOT a reliable source and as that is all you have, I rejected it, you are welcome to add more sources, in which case it could be re-considered, you already moved it to main space where it was tagged for deletion. Do you have a conflict of interest by any chance? Theroadislong (talk) 16:47, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Draftification of non-AfC userspace drafts

See also: User talk:Theroadislong/Archive 56 § Moving drafts to the mainspace to seek deletion

I was wondering why you decided to draftify a few non-AfC userspace drafts, e.g. Draft:Tamerlaine Sanctuary and Preserve (unsimbitted AfC template was added after the move) and Draft:Nigel Poor? Draftspace is the preferred location for drafts with the voluntary domain of the AfC wikiproject; however, many may choose to avoid both per similar sentiments to those espoused at WP:DUD (and some may luckily avoid them unconsciously). Had the drafts remained in their former locations, they would never become eligible for G13. Now that they have been moved, they will be subject to that (some might call it backdoor) form of deletion after six months of inactivity. I would argue that, practically, that is the only thing that has been accomplished. The notion that drafspace aids collaboration and shines a light on things that would otherwise get dusty in userspace is great in theory, but I would argue that has never, or rarely, materialized within the space in actuality. Thanks, — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 19:49, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

I moved them to draft as a kindness, they will need to be submitted and reviewed before being accepted, the alternative would have been to send them to afd? If you disagree, move them back to main space and I will send them to afd. Theroadislong (talk) 19:55, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

They originated in the userspace, i.e. at User:Vegan4theAnimals/sandbox and User:Lcmiller11/sandbox.

The alternative to seek deletion would have been miscellany for deletion. As a regular there, I can say that it is unlikely consensus would be found to delete them there. The other alternative (that I personally would suggest) would have been to leave them where they were, which is largely a net neutral. The author may return or someone else may find them and improve them there, but they will never be subject to arbitrary deletion that way.

Any qualms if I return them to the userspace? — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 20:04, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Sure go ahead. However User:Vegan4theAnimals did request here [1] "Can I now somehow edit the name of my Sandbox and submit it for review for publishing?" Theroadislong (talk) 20:07, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

You just restored INACCURATE INFORMATION, buddy. Andrew King is NO LONGER editor of Canadian Musician. It is Michael Raine. Some basic Google research will reveal that.

Declined submission

Hello,

Thank you for reviewing my latest submission of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Buyer_modalities_framework You declined it based on "blogs are not suitable sources".

I would like to bring the following to your attention: 1. Buyer's psychology is a key field in marketing, albeit lacking articles in Wikipedia, which I am trying to contribute to. It's not quantum physics, there are less academics research in marketing psychology than in hard sciences, so it's important to source from marketing professionals and companies who experience in real conditions. 2. My first submission was declined because "20% (of the source) of which are to the originators of this concept". One out of the 5 original sources was indeed (and I thought that was fair and honest) related to them. 3. One of the key other sources was academic research made by one of the most famous European universities, the KUL. It may not be as famous as Harvard, but it's a high reputation institution. 4. As it seemed too slim, I have added other sources, and many professionals and journalists' articles take the format of blogs these days. Blogs are valid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blogs_as_sources => I am using a diversity of unconnected sources (not just 1 or 2, as I could be accused of being biased, but I am not related to any of them) from reputable marketers and journalists.

I have tried to do a fair, neutral, balanced article, that explores a key area of marketing and consumers; when I mentioned to other marketing experts that there was no article on this topic within Wikipedia, they were surprised. But I am really not sure what I can do more?

Thanks,

John — Preceding unsigned comment added by John JL London (talk • contribs) 15:57, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Blogs as sources was a failed proposal. Your Draft:Buyer modalities framework contains at least 6 blog references, if it is really a notable topic I would expect there to be better coverage of the term in more main stream sources. Theroadislong (talk) 16:30, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

In order to demonstrate notability, you need to provide multiple references to in-depth articles written about your company in unrelated, independent journals, magazines, books or online. Any article should be based on them alone, we have no interest in what they want to say about themselves. Per Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure you must disclose on your user page, who is paying you to edit, editors who are or expect to be compensated for their contributions must disclose their employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any paid contributions.

Recent rejected submission

Hey Theroadislong,

Thank you for your feedback. Would you please provide me further details about the rejection of my submission (please see below)? The references I have used are from reliable sources such as Forbes Italia, WWD and Fashion Network. Is it also an issue to provide references that are not in the English language?

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kindindubai (talk • contribs) 09:28, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Is it not notable that he was discussed all over the internet for the #freebarron2020 movement? What about the millions of tiktok videos, tweets, and memes about him and this movement? What is considered “notability” on Wikipedia? That seems notable enough to me. Thousands of signatures, trending all over the internet, and a permanent place as a part of meme culture and his fathers presidency. Is this not notable? All of this was included in the article.

That is the most important and reliable site to understand the cast of a film: The film is composed of that cast, I don't understand why you correct me.

This is not an edit war

Hello,

I do not understand your message. I am a consumer marketing and advertising expert, engaged both in the academic and practical aspects of marketing. I have decided to bring this expertise to Wikipedia, as I found it very light on the marketing and advertising front. My contributions, as falt, boring, factuals, and neutral as possible, are obviously reviewed by people who are not marketing and advertising experts. My contribution, about a concept that has been used by marketers, have been judged "promotional": promotional for whom? I quote the creators of the concept: it's promotional. Great; let's not quote Einstein in the theory of relativity, then. I quote multiple different and unrelated journos and professional sources: it's promotional. I source from one leading European university: it's promotional. What can I say... — Preceding unsigned comment added by John JL London (talk • contribs) 21:41, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello Theroadislong, You've suggested my page for deletion. Would you please guide me on how to publish my article, as I'm already late for the due date of delivery. Secondly, My client meets the criteria of an article as an author with six books and honored world-wide as an E-Commerce Expert. Or guide me on how long will take to get out of protected recreation due to rapid attempts Since I attempted in the sandbox and not in the creation wizard.

your message

Hi there, I got a message from you saying "Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Dundee Public Art Programme". However I did not create this page myself, it was created by someone else. Apologies if I've misunderstood the guidelines - the notice says "If this article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice", which was what I did. It implies that only if I created the page should I click the Contest button. Have I done something wrong? I notice you've removed the other edits I made to the page. Am I allowed to reinstate them without removing the notice or not? Apologies - I'm only an occasional wiki user so I realise I may have misinterpreted the guidelines. Mhjarron (talk) 17:15, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

You have a conflict of interest and should NOT be editing any of the pages connected with that. Your intern has been blocked for promotional edits and sock puppetry too. Theroadislong (talk) 17:18, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Answer

Hi 'Theroadislong' Well, you are right but that is not the case with that user. They are trying to cover their real intentions with lies. So how can I address to them? I asked them nicely at the beginning to provide an explanation on why did they revert all of my edits and their answer is based on lies. What am I supposed to do? To accept their lies and their complete revert? RgardsLegione-Romana (talk) 14:41, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

How to view my draft

Hi there,

I created a draft article a while back about this company called Vuulr and I wanted to see how it would fare in case it might get banned or whatnot. However, I can't seem to find any trace of the article and I'm not sure how long it might, or if there's anything even being done with regards to approving the draft so I have no idea where to go from here. Is there anything I can do?

I am not paid by anyone for this article, but rather because I am close to one of my friend who work from there and get to have a video interview on their overall business, to have better understanding on my writing.

Some help with that user

Hello Theroadislong, I guess you remember Legione-Romana. This user is doing an impressive amount of disruptive edits, it is difficult to keep track of all the little edits that he is doing, but most are harmful. The user is removing everything he does not agree with (especially if it links the Aromanians with Romania in any kind) even if they are sourced statements [3]. Do you know what I can do to deal with this user? Is a report valid on this case? Super Ψ Dro 12:13, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

My edits & Super Dromaeosaurus

As for your notice left on my talk page regarding my edits, I have provided explanations about the sources that have been removed as outdated or irrelevant to the subject. By not specifying the problematic edits but reverting all of them and bringing back the preexisting version, which by the way in its vast majority constitutes unsourced information, I think that the respective pages can not be improved. A second issue. Since we are here and I see that the user Super Dromaeosaurus is asking you for some help in order to deal with me, I take the opportunity to ask you for some help and deal with them too. Yesterday you penalised me for commenting on the user and not on the content. The respective user who is an experienced one immediately after the recent incident that happened between me and him has accused me of having issues with Romania. Therefore, I report him for a personal attack on me. Also, they are sustaining that I have been doing disruptive editing. That is false. The vast majority of my edits are additional to the existing ones, that can be checked in the history of the pages, mainly I have added information not removed. the respective user is relating my edits to anti-Romanian activity simply because they do not want the respective sources to be removed. They do not comment on my explanations but just simply revert my edits. Since the policy of Wikipedia states that the edits should be based on valid and relevant sources, could you clarify why my edits are considered disruptive and theirs not as such. They are doing the same. I would like to report them for the same issue. Last but not least, could you please have a look at my and their talk page because I would like to report them for abusive behaviour too for penalising me for disruptive editing. RegardsLegione-Romana (talk) 14:24, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

See WP:BRD you were bold, you were reverted a number of times, so now it is time to discuss the issues on the article talk page rather than attack other users and edit war for your preferred version. Theroadislong (talk) 14:47, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Theroadislong

So users who revert are by definition right and those who edit are wrong?! Very professional answer. Anyway, I am waiting for your answer on the issue of personal attack and on that of penalising me, both done by the respective user. Does he have the right to do so?

Draft:Orgill

Hi there! I personally have a COI on this topic, but I have been advising the editor who submitted Draft:Orgill on how to better meet Wikipedia's notability criteria and improve sourcing. Since you originally reviewed this draft almost a year now, I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look at the new, fully-rewritten version he has submitted today. I also advised the editor how to properly disclose his COI on his user page. I think the article is more more neutral in tone now, with the main assertions of notability right at the top, and all the assertions cited to independent secondary sources instead of press releases. I'd really appreciate if you took a look! Dominic·t 18:27, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello

I vaguely remember someone encouraging you to run for RFA & you politely declined, I don’t remember all the details but I think your reason was editing here somehow interfered with your real life. Tbh, I think editing here is somehow interfering with my real life also seeing as I have dedicated the last two years to focusing strictly on editing here, is there any advice you may have for me? Celestina007 (talk) 01:24, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Yes I did feel before Christmas that Wikipedia was taking over my life, I have managed to control it by deleting my watchlist which was over 97,000 articles long, now when I wake up in the morning I don't spend the first two hours of the day trawling through it! Theroadislong (talk) 12:35, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) if I might butt in here, deleting or trimming the watchlist is very helpful. A big watchlist turns editors into workers, more or less. A tiny watchlist (mine is down to less than a couple hundred) means you have the time to enjoy editing.--- Possibly (talk) 19:00, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Agreed mine is now down to around two hundred and mostly I add others only for one month and feel much happier editing here now. Theroadislong (talk) 19:09, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

I thought mine was excessive at 75,289 pages but you had me beat! I need to uncheck the box that adds every page you edit to your Watchlist. Also, any pages you edit that are deleted should be automatically removed from ones Watchlist but I suppose I need to propose that at the Village Pump. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:43, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Actually I notice that my watchlist has already crept up to 2,674 must keep it down! Theroadislong (talk) 21:32, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

@Possibly, thanks, I probably should do just that, I’ve become to occupied with this collaborative project (nabbing UPE & whatnot) and of recent I can tell it’s beginning to interfere with my real life(which is almost non existent). At work, I’m senior management staff & at this level, I mostly supervise and not actually work per se so I have leeway to edit whilst at my work place, it isn’t affecting my productivity at work or anything like that but it is as though gradually I spend an inordinate amount of time here. Ive commenced the process of removing several articles from my watchlist. Thank you all for your input, thanks Liz, and of course a big thank you to my AFC senior colleague T.R.I.L.

Advice needed on your comment

Hi, I read quite a lot of stuff on Wikipedia and tried to follow the same pattern. Also, this draft might look like an essay, I have incorporated lots of references which to me means there is proof or science behind what I am including in the draft. I have tried to revise the draft a few times and I have followed the rules of Wikipedia right from choosing a topic to how it has to be written. So, I would like to know how does Wikipedia distinguishes between an essay and a scientific document (containing information about current research) with references? This would help me to understand how I am supposed to extensively re-write this draft.

Secondly, I was suggested to merge my earlier draft with an already existing wiki page "Synthetic lethelity". I want to keep my page " Myc associated synthetic lethality" exclusive to include information just about synthetic lethality associated with MYC. In the future, I want to include more information and details related to MYC and not speak about synthetic lethality in general. My goal in making this page is that I want to give researchers working on MYC synthetic lethality very exclusive information about it at one place. So, I would request to consider this page seperately. Keeping this in mind can you give me some suggestions as to how I can modify my current draft to be accepted.

This one [4]. Theroadislong (talk) 20:41, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

The respective definition is wrong. They are recognised as Ethnic minority group. That is the official and juridical terminology. Look at the second one in Albania. that is the right termonology. Is the same status. I know very well the subject. Ethnic is the official term that separates the ethnicLegione-Romana (talk) 21:00, 3 April 2021 (UTC) minority from the Religious and Linguistic minority. There are three categories.

Firstly you need to properly declare your conflict of interest.

Hello, what do you mean they contribute nothing to any notability? Can you please explain? I have plenty of articles that mention Mr. Mickeler's expertise in many events and in places he has advised with (Sotheby's, Christie's, etc..) I used the website www.thetisdinosaurs.com because it is the official website of the company that he currently advises within. I do not understand...Can you please explain why..? Because there is plenty of referencing mentioning him. And I have seen some other articles on Wikipedia that don't have that many references and are active articles. Thank you.

He works with that company so the source is not independent to establish notability you need to provide multiple references to in-depth articles written about him in unrelated, independent journals, magazines, books or online. Theroadislong (talk) 09:40, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

  • Draft:Shab (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

In respect of your recent review of Draft:Shab, you commented that YouTube “is rarely a reliable source for establishing notability” — a comment with which I would generally agree. However, the citations of YouTube were offered in support of the statements that this artist’s videos have registered over two million views: and I am unsure as to what source could be more credible or accurate than the playcounters on the respective YouTube webpages proffered. I understand that it may be difficult for new artists to achieve the notability requirements for approval of a Wikipedia listing. However, this new artist —- Shab —- has as of this week charted a second #2 hit on the MusicWeek singles charts (which is the analog to the Billboard music charts in the United States) with her two debut singles, an achievement sufficiently rare that industry observers struggle to identify the last occasion when an artist achieved Top Ten status with two initial singles. Moreover, roughly half of the the External Links associated with this submission that serve to document this artist’s biography are themselves news or music industry sources that are acknowledged by Wikipedia. Indeed, are we to suppose from this rejection that the Dallas Morning News, which as a newspaper has one of the 20 largest paid circulation in the United States, is insufficiently credible for notability purposes? in any case, I would LOVE to have clearer direction as to the changes that you deem necessary to have this article published.
