Hi there!

Sorry for bothering you. I'm Nuno, let me just give you a little bit of background. Back in 2012, when I remixed the Fado track, it was one of the first things to really go viral. I was invited to tv, and the track played in tv shows aswell. Unfortunately, since it was in 2012, I can't find anything about that online, just a couple of uploaded videos on YouTube with thousands of views. But the track is for sale. What you can check is that I am in fact the first producer to legally remix a "Fado" (traditional Portuguese singing) with house music. Fado is usually very sad, and for the first time, people sang in Portuguese and danced to it. I know it may not be very notable, a lot of people have done more. But I'm trying to come back on my feet, and get all my info together correctly. There's no exaggeration of facts or lies. Unfortunately there isn't much info.

Can you help me here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalim3ru (talkcontribs) 00:58, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Kalim3ru, So you got a couple of things working against you here. 1) You shouldn't write articles about yourself, see WP:AUTO. Secondly, we have strict requirements for how we determine notability. A subject either needs to pass WP:SINGER (which you currently don't), or pass WP:GNG which requires significant coverage WP:SIGCOV in multiple, reliable sources that are independent of the subject, and as you've stated that coverage doesn't exist. I know this is a disappointment, but Wikipedia is not going to be the correct place for you get all your info together at. Cheers Sulfurboy (talk) 01:04, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

medical deserts

Sulfurboy, thank you for your approval and publication of Medical Deserts in the United States. I appreciate your encouragement and kind words. I was wondering if you could maybe suggest two things I could do to move it up that rubric, from a C to a B. Thanks again!!! MarcyMarcywinograd (talk) 01:21, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Marcywinograd, So the grading from C to B is dependent on the project. If you go to the pages talk page Talk:Medical deserts in the United States, you'll see expandable tables for each of the project the page is attached to. You should see a sentence with a link that says This article has been rated as C-Class on the project's quality scale.. You would need to review those standards and reach out to the appropriate groups for a bump in grading. You can also nominate the article for good article status. Information about that can be found at WP:GAN. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Sulfurboy (talk) 01:26, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
Also, to tag on to this You should be proud of the C rating. I would say I assign an article a C rating out of AfC less than 5% of the time. Sulfurboy (talk) 01:26, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Henry Masterson III shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Thanks for your help with WackoWiki article

"not suitable for Wikipedia" would be scientifically correct: "not suitable for the English Wikipedia" since there are WackoWiki articles in other languages on wikipedia.org.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:WackoWiki EoNy (talk) 18:46, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

EoNy, I don't understand what you're asking. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:19, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
Sulfurboy, The template your where using for judging the WackoWiki article is not accurate and does not tell me much. There are lots of scientific evidence that help to show the notability of WackoWiki software. I do not understand why sources like ACM, IEEE and others are not sufficiant to show how wackowiki was used to further develop wiki software and other advances in internet technology. Wikipedians wrote a software to convert wackowiki markup to mediawiki, etc.EoNy (talk) 10:04, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Sulfurboy, thanks for the quick reply! I am the sister of Daniel Lewis, I don't get any financial gain from this and do not represent him. I read up on the rules and don't see anything against this but correct me if I'm wrong. I just thought it would make sense to make a page as I have had a lot of schools, organisations and individuals ask information on him and with a common name it is easy to stumble on the wrong Daniel Lewis through a Google search. After reading over the guidelines I think he deserves and qualifies to be on wikipedia as a notable person and all the other competitors in the Commonwealth games final also have wiki pages. If this is incorrect and the page should not be created then please let me know — Preceding unsigned comment added by Global247 (talkcontribs) 11:18, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Dear Editor,

I recently published my first article and it was declined by you. You've mentioned that it might be a paid article, which is not. I have edited a few articles on Sri Lankan athletes in the past and I came across this company on the internet. I thought it is worth the article since the company (from India) has been gaining a lot of attention in the 'Growth Hacking' field. The company has won a few awards in a short time span. Please be kind enough to let me know what I should remove from the content so it could be published. I was excited to publish since it is a company by two Indians who have dominated the market in USA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gayesh Senevirathne (talkcontribs) 05:39, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

How can I create an article that was deleted

Hi,

I created an article about a college softball head coach named Cindy Ball-Malone. I had created other pages just like it that were approved and that one wasn’t and it was deleted. I tried recreating it and got it approved but then it was deleted again because it wasn’t approved the first time or something like that. This coach is now a candidate for a bigger job and I would like to recreate and have it approved without it being deleted. Can you help? Thanks!

Draft:Review 31

Hello Sulfurboy: thanks for your comment on Draft:Review 31; I really appreciate your contributions as a master editor. (I used to edit quite a lot anonymously just from my IP address but creating articles has been a learning process for me: it's a level of rigour I really appreciate.) I have been reading up on WP:BOMBARD and, though I am a COI contributor, I have created the article in good faith: I believe we meet the notability threshold in the same way as publications such as 3:AM Magazine with whom we have long-standing associations. I believe the references I have made support the claims in question: I added them as a good faith effort to cite independent sources (the original version consisted almost entirely of citations from our own website) and I am not trying to deceive anyone with the volume or content of the citations. I'm new to creating and I'm really happy to do anything that needs to be done to improve the article in the eyes of senior editors and administrators. For example, references 10-48 are all from our own website - I put them in there purely for verification purposes - but if they are doing more harm than good I am happy to delete them. I note that some literary magazine articles achieve notability but with a much smaller number of citations (Structo, for example, which only has three). I am therefore happy to reduce the number if you feel a smaller number of citations would increase our chances of being accepted. (For example, I feel the Irish Times link is a good example that demonstrates our achievement: I understand the virtues of relying on fewer but better sources.)

I've found the editorial process really interesting and I'd like to create more articles in future: there are many well-regarded British authors, often award-nominated and published on acclaimed small presses, who don't have Wikipedia entries. In this way, I'd love to carry on talking and use the drafting process as a learning opportunity while at the same time increasing the article's chances for approval.

Requesting Help Regarding Notability

Hey Sulfurboy,

Thank you for reviewing my draft on Lawrence and Mayo(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Lawrence_and_Mayo)and suggesting the additions required in citations. This is my first engagement as a contributor to the Wikipedia community. I had used the references from coverage in independent dailies. Is the coverage in popular news considered as a source for notability? Also,could you please suggest me some other sources that I may look for and how many minimum references are required for the article to qualify?

Thank you for your help!

Regards,

Tarukh Kaul Tarukh Kaul (talk) 11:38, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Articles Reviewed

Your valuable contributions can certainly not be "ignored", thank you so much. Wouuld need some further guidance from you if I understood you correctly, both articles Draft: Quintessa Swindell and Draft: Archistar (Artificial Intelligence) are both within the scope of the WP:GNG, but they have not been adequately cited (correct me if this understanding is contrary to what to meant).

  • Whatever the case is, I request that you take a second look at both articles. I carefully read at least three articles about citations, and I understood that the citations have been adequate, if I uderstood what I read well, Citing 2 or 3 RELIABLE SOURCEs [independent of the subject(s)] is 'more important, than citing 100 unreliable sources.
  • For Swindell, I think they are a notable non-binary actor, I read an article somewhere on reliable/perennial sources (sorry I cannot link this page at this time), the article clearly stated that Deadline Hollywood is a reliable source for actors (I cited two articles where they are the SUBJECT of the publication not a passing mention), I need to understand why sources are the reason for the article decline, please I request a re-look at the citations cited for verification, I also read on the same article that Hollywood reporter is a reliable source. I could not find any consensus on Refinary29 but I think it is a reliable source. There is also an interview with GLAAD, a reliable source for LGBT communities. This actor has appeared on Netflix's Trinkets and HBO's Euphoria, and in all honesty, I CHECKED other actors/actresses that are 'par' with Swindell, and I think this page may have been more cited than others..
  • For the Archistar, the have been covered by Financial Review (not a passing metion) which is a notable source for Australian financial news, by the Property Council of Australia (also not a passing mention) which is also a government (independent) and reliable source and also by the Australian Society Council (ACS) which was also not a passing mention. Also consider that this article is a 'niche' article an about 3 reliable sources for the Architectural niche were also cited. Archistar is working with the Government of NSW and is a notable Property group in Australia. I humbly suggest that you go through the sources in this article, as Wikipedia RELIABLE SOURCES LIST states that the List is INEXHAUSTIBLE and there are other sites/sources that may be reliable but not 'popularly listed'. In any case, you may further advise.
  • Please if this submission may not be reconsidered after verifying those sources, please suggest ways to improve the article to be well poised for a re-submission.
  • Thank you.

TheEpistle (talk) 14:08, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

TheEpistle, For Swindell, multiple unreliable sources are used on the page. I would recommend re-reading WP:RS and correcting that issue. I'm also unsure why you are bringing up other pages. If you think another page is not using reliable sources or is about a subject that isn't notable, then I recommend tagging or nominating those pages appropriately for deletion. This subject currently fully fails WP:NACTOR
For Archistar, the article is sourced with press releases and coverage of WP:ROUTINE matters. Nothing shows that the WP:SIGCOV standard of WP:NCORP is met. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:29, 1 May 2020 (UTC)


Thank you, will take out time to review the articles again to ensure conditions for WP: NACTOR and WP: NCORP are met before re-submission. TheEpistle (talk) 17:19, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Alternative Baseball

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Alternative_Baseball

This is my first time ever writing a Wikipedia article. Everything listed in this article I cited on this non-profit organization are from independent and reputable sources. Where do I go next and what are some suggestions on what I can do to bring it up to standard? I think it's a worthy cause which is worthy of international attention. It's a service for those with disabilities in areas of America where they have nothing else. Would you care to elaborate more on why it reads like an advertisement than an encyclopedia article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ABrandNewDisease (talkcontribs) 06:12, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

The entire article is about the organization from the view of the organization. That's not what Wikipedia does. We provide third party coverage of an organization. I know you probably put a lot of work into the article, but creating articles is one of the most difficult tasks someone can undertake. However, from top to bottom the article reads like an advert. If you can't see this, then you might have a WP:COI that makes it seem more neutral than it is. There is a lot of puffery and undue praise, particularly for the founder, Taylor. It at times feels like a WP:COATRACK attempt to praise that person more than actually talk about the organization. Sulfurboy (talk) 06:16, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

You're being very rude right now, sir. I don't appreciate you I left you a message asking you a simple question. I got a second opinion from another Wikipedia member who did not think is an advertisement article. Where do I go to look at the policies in order to improve chances of the article being accepted? ABrandNewDisease (talk) 07:35, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

ABrandNewDisease, Nothing I've said or done would be classified as rude. Wikipedia is a process and at times a tough one. If having your work declined, edited, modified or otherwise rejected is something that you take personal, then maybe it isn't for you. There's already links provided in both of the decline messages on the page. All articles on Wikipedia have to be dispassionate, impersonal and formal. Your article lacks all three of these attributes. You have a very obvious WP:COI with this subject which I assume is why you are taking things so personal. I would recommend in the future not writing articles about subjects you have a COI with. Sulfurboy (talk) 19:54, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Request on 16:04:34, 2 May 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Androidpar


Thank you for your comments on my draft article on Camp Kaiora. I must have been unclear in some way, for you to question the notability of the subject. I can understand why Wikipedia cannot fill the cloud with articles that no one will ever read, but this is not the case here. The book by Bond et al. (ref. 1), although it was written many years after the closure of the camp, nevertheless devotes a paragraph to the camp, and points out that it was one of the first camps to involve progressive education, and one of the first to admit both girls and boys. I did not directly quote the relevant paragraph from the book because the authors had misspelled the name of the camp, as Kaoria (I was planning to include a redirect when the article was accepted) but clearly they thought that it was an important institution. Camp Kaiora is mentioned in several issues of the annual booklet by Porter Sargent on summer camps, which was published in the 1920s and 1930s as a help for parents choosing a camp. The camp features in the description of an incident involving the daughter of the author John Cheever (ref. 5). I found more than one article from a local newspaper mentioning children planning to attend the camp (ref 6). The camp ran for many years so it is likely that well over 1000 children attended over the years, and some of these may wonder, in their retirement, what became of Miss Sheridan’s Camp Kaiora, and would be pleased to find a brief discussion in Wikipedia. This subject is certainly notable. The article is surely suitable for inclusion in category:defunct summer camps. Androidpar (talk) 16:04, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Delta_Police_Board

Thank you so much for helping me out with this. I appreciate it.

I replied to the first editor who flagged a suspected conflict of interest. I have no connection to Delta Police Board or Delta Police. I am a returning to the workforce (full-time Mum) and am studying PR/Communications with UVic. I live in North Delta and I wanted to gain an insiders understanding of Wikipedia as it is so important to our media-life.

I have checked details with DPD and I now understand that wasn't correct. I apologize.

Please can I check a couple of things with you.

I want to make the page more interesting with history that I can only get through speaking with either the Delta Police Public Affairs or accessing the archives held in the Ladner Community Office which is currently closed due to Covid19. Many of our elder community members have served on the Board over the last few decades and I was hoping to update the entry as I interviewed them/found out more from the archives. Is there a way to meet Wiki's standards and access the information that the Department has?

Again, I am really sorry I messed up. Thank you for your patience. I love Wiki and I'm super impressed by the standards that are so closely followed. That's important to know as a (wannabe) PR/Communication professional.

KateMcKenna28, So we've got a few things wrong here. First, PR writing is generally frowned upon and is subject to myriad regulations, see WP:PAID. So if you are attempting to hone your PR skills, Wikipedia isn't the place for it. There is plenty of other outlets for helping to promote a business or organization. Wikipedia is meant be formal, dispassionate, impersonal and neutral; traits that are hard to achieve when someone is writing with an ulterior motive such as honing skills or being paid for edits.
Secondly, your personal interviews with members of the board would not be considered a reliable source. Please see WP:RS for what we deem to be a reliable source.
Lastly, and most importantly. The subject you are writing about would not be considered notable. The police department itself would be considered notable (and it already has a page), but an admin board of a municipal police department would not be. Even large departments, think NYPD or RMCP for example, do not have pages for their boards. This is because all subjects have to pass the WP:NORG standard which requires WP:SIGCOV to be shown. In particular, notability would have to be established completely independent of the police force itself. This won't be the case with this subject. Sulfurboy (talk) 21:35, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

My apologies for my frustration earlier. No hard feelings. I've gotten some help from the Live Chat who's given me better understanding in simpler terms and have helped me edit the article to make sure it falls under the guidelines. There is no COI. This is just my first article and I care a lot about doing a good job. I think we've got it now. Would you mind revisiting it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ABrandNewDisease (talkcontribs) 01:42, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Kobo360

Hi Sulfurboy,

I am reaching out to you regarding my Draft:Kobo360 submission which you declined on 21 April. You mentioned it was because the nature of my edits gave the impression that I have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting the company. I can confirm that this is untrue. I'm Nigerian and have a keen interest in the Nigerian tech space on the continent and want to ensure that some of my favourite African companies and personalities who are doing exceptional things are well represented on this platform. I was recently furloughed because of the current coronavirus situation and therefore decided to use my free time to write articles on this platform. I will see what others have done on Wiki and make edits necessary, but if there's anything else you suggest I do, please let me know. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by MariaWimbart (talkcontribs) 14:22, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

MariaWimbart, You do realize that your username is MariaWimbart right? And that Google exists. Which tells me Wimbart is a PR company that specializes in emerging markets in Africa, which is exactly what this article is about... Sulfurboy (talk) 19:59, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Regarding Kato Kei Article

Hi Sulfurboy,

I was trying to update some information on the page Draft:Keiya_Kato i created for one of Japan's Business tycoon , Please let me know what information needs to added to make the page live and to get it approved. I'm having difficulty in finding the reason.

Please mail me at directtoanonymous92@gmail.com if you need to discuss something on the respective page.

The article has been rejected, which means it will not be considered further at this time. Sulfurboy (talk) 18:23, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Draft:List of Korea Image Awards Winners

Thanks for reviewing Draft:List of Korea Image Awards Winners. You have rejected my submission saying that mu submission do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. But it is a very similiar topic to this article page List of South Korean actresses, both a list of renown Korean people and Draft:List of Korea Image Awards Winners covers some important people who contributes to Korea's Image in the world. Why can that list be included but not this one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 43.239.157.198 (talk) 13:49, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

As stated in the decline message, if an award is not wikinotable, then a page listing its winners isn't going to be notable either. Sulfurboy (talk) 18:24, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi User:Sulfurboy. Thanks for your comments on Draft:Hyperreal.org. I don't believe that there's much else I can do to the article, given that as an early website in that mid-90s era, it's quite difficult to source references readily. That said, given that the site is hugely referenced across Wikipedia articles on music/artists, it seems odd not to have an entry for it in its own right, and its notability in the early days of the web developing. As such, if you wish to delete then please go ahead. Seems a shame, however. It doesn't seem any less notable/sourced than one of your articles (Leigh Gerdine, for example.

Thanks for reviewing Draft:Pepperfry. You have rejected my submission saying that contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. I am unable to understand why this happen but I have reworked on overall content to be as informative as possible and no promotional message. In addition to this, I only added sources that were reliable as per Wikipedia:Reliable sources. I noticed that you reverted edits to previous version that removed everything. Could you please explain why my submission got rejected and what can I do to fix it?2405:204:201:AB5B:4CD5:AE47:D2AE:E86E (talk) 11:57, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Per the comment already posted: "A press release article, sourced with press releases. Overly promotional junk. And now there is multiple IP editors attempting to remove previous decline and rejection messages. If this is submitted again or edits occur in an attempt to hide previous message, it will be considered vandalism and will l or both." Sulfurboy (talk) 11:59, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your response Sulfurboy but it did not answer my question. As stated earlier, I have reworked on overall sourcing and removed sources that were not that great. I have added only sources that are reliable and discuss the subject in detail. Can you please point out to references that you think sound like a PR?2405:204:201:AB5B:FE6D:906C:50AA:B74F (talk) 15:36, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Further discussion

Thank you for taking time to respond to my queries. I have one more question here. Before creating the draft, I went through improving pages of several pages under this category: 'British spiritual writers'. I noticed most of the citations we have are either their books or articles written by them. Here are few examples: William Bloom, Cher Chevalier and Cassandra Eason. How do we deal with stuff like this? I also asked this question to MurielMary but I'd like to get your opinion too. Lunar Clock (talk) 21:16, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Lunar Clock, Yikes, many of those are very problematic. I'm going over them now. Sulfurboy (talk) 22:52, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
Lunar Clock, I've proposed deletion on all three. There's actually a lot of very trouble articles in that category. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:14, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Advice how to fix my article after your review

Dear Sulffurboy, I am so sorry for bothering you and I know you have to go through many pages. It is my first article in English and I would like to develop it much better. I am talking about this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Rebal_Alkhodari

My question is; I already added many sources to my article (37 ones) and there are 4 or 5 of them (Discogs or Social media). So, What should I do if I don't find another source? Should I delete the sentence which is taken from this resource Or just takes the source out and keep it without this source?

Best regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zuher Amr (talkcontribs) 04:42, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Zuher Amr, Discogs and social media are not reliable sources. Discogs in particular is sourced from user submitted information making it completely unverifiable. If you can't find a reliable source for information in your article, then it needs to be removed. Cheers Sulfurboy (talk) 07:41, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

unfortunately, we shall see another wave in the Fall or Winter no matter what happens in the meantime--it is epidemiologically inevitable, regardless of the assumptions--the best that can be hoped for is a widely-distributed effective vaccine for 2021. But what you and I are worried about now is more accurately a resurgence of the present wave, keeping it at a substantial level all through the summer. The question is whether the 20% of people who are too stupid to realize it is high enough to contaminate the rest of us. DGG ( talk ) 05:23, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello! You recently reviewed and declined the article I am writing on the Center for the Study of Law and Religion. The stated reasons were that some minor changes needed to be made with the references, and that it read more like a directory than a formal article. I have amended the references as recommended, but I am unsure of how to proceed with regards to your second point. I have read several of Wikipedia's reference articles on writing style and tone and I feel as though my article matches those guidelines. Could you please elaborate on your comment or point to specific examples in my article that need to be changed?

Marco Attisano

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.



Hi Sulfurboy. I saw your comment that candidates for office aren't typically notable. I don't think that applies to Attisano – he is generally notable in western Pennsylvania for his work in veteran's affairs and in the law. Furthermore, the election for PA House District 30 was described by an independent outlet as "Allegheny County's most competitive state house seat." Attisano and this race have received serious, non-trivial attention from a range of media outlets. Information about Attisano's upbringing has been featured by independent outlets covering legal issues and veteran's affairs. This coverage is all sourced in the article.

Also, similar candidates have received their own page. In Attisano's region, Pennsylvania congressional candidate Conor Lamb had a page shortly after announcing his run in 2017/2018. That race, like this one, attracted specific media attention and warranted further coverage of the people running. Lamb's experience in the military and federal prosecutor is similar to Attisano's experience in the Navy, an assistant district attorney & veteran leader.

Resubmitting for reconsideration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Marco_Attisano
