Comment on my draft

Hey,

I recently saw your comment on my draft. I would like to say that I am aware that youtube is generally speaking not a reliable source, however i tried to avoid using youtube as a source except when discussing equipment, where as far as I know, footage can generally be considered a source.

Additionally, in my references using youtube(source 6, 7, 8 and 9(which 8 and 9 are the same source)), 6 is directly from the CGTN africa channel, 7 is from CCTV channel 7, and 8/9 is a reupload from the chinese MOD.

If i have to, i am willing to remove the equipment section as a whole if the sources are still not considered reliable. Best Regards, Thehistorianisaac Thehistorianisaac (talk) 10:15, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Maurice Molarsky page

I understand why you would reject this page, based on the information submitted thus far. We have not yet uploaded the main section about his career. Molarsky was one of the best known portrait painters in Philadelphia during the first half of the 20th century, and his work is currently held by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Woodmere Gallery, the Princeton University Art Museum, and numerous private collectors. His work regularly comes up for auction in the Northeast US:

Who is "we"? User accounts are strictly single person use. We can only review the content that you add, you need to add the details of the collections with reliable independent sources and then re-submit. Theroadislong (talk) 21:23, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That got interesting very quickly

Thank you for your intervention. Legal threats were the last thing I thought would happen. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:33, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes... extraordinary! Theroadislong (talk) 17:36, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Escalation in this general manner we have seen before with COI editors seeking to use bluster to force their way in. This topic is their pet topic. The neologism is their neologism. They seem to have mistaken Wikipedia as a place to enhance their reputation instead of a please to record it, assuming verifiable notability. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:42, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

and now "Sorry you are violating US laws and please clarify for any consequences!" whatever that means! Theroadislong (talk) 17:45, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It means they are blocked! 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:03, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator's Noticeboard

ANI discussion concluded pragmatically. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:39, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

There is currently a discussion WP:ANI regarding making and doubling down on legal threats. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:MehdiAlireza making and doubling down on legal threats. Thank you. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:00, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I, and it seems you, too, am drawn to argumentative editors

I just encountered your strategic withdrawal over shadow footprints. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 20:52, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it appears so! They are editing a series of connected articles and seem to have a WP:BATTLEGROUND mentality, I didn't feel I was getting through so withdrawal seemed easier. Theroadislong (talk) 20:56, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think they are righteously indignant, but too much self involved. You probably saw I commented on the Estelle one, which appears to be under a different username. I am damned if I will get into an argument with them, though. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 22:22, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cranbourne West Secondary College Draft Decline

Hi @Theroadislong! Thank you for your review on Draft: Cranbourne West Secondary College.

Can I please get an idea of what part of the article sounds like its blatant advertising? I would like to improve the quality of the article prior to submitting again for review.

Your feedback is much appreciated! Thank you! DebugDruid (talk) 21:58, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From the very first paragraph " growing steadily, adding a new year level annually. The school is committed to providing a diverse and inclusive learning environment for its students" is blatant promotion. Followed by "Rob Duncan, the current principal, brings extensive experience in educational leadership" then " has facilities designed to support both academic and extracurricular activities" etc etc. It reads like it was written by the schools marketing department. Theroadislong (talk) 22:02, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Theroadislong I have edited the draft as per your feedback. Could you please have a look now and let me know if anything else needs changing.

Thank you in advance! DebugDruid (talk) 23:39, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Theroadislong, I saw your comment on the draft, it states the same thing as the reply from before, however the draft has been edited.

Could you please let me know which part of the page still seems like its advertising, as all the information I have got is from the sources listed in the draft.

Thank you. DebugDruid (talk) 22:44, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

X-tail

sorry for being annoying, (i can tell you got a lot to deal with). i'll try to find a reliable source to support the article, sorry it didn't meet specifications. Cheers! <3 Taffy boeing b 17 (talk) 22:04, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries at all it seems like Draft:X-tail could make a great new article, you just need to find reliable sources that confirm your content, presumably you have them. Theroadislong (talk) 22:07, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You might find some of the references in the Tail-sitter article of some use. Theroadislong (talk) 22:14, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

7th marine brigade

Thank you for the comment on my draft on the 7th marine brigade.

Even though the nickname of the Jiaolong commandos is much more common, I have seen that it is also sometimes known as the 7th Marine Brigade, especially on some chinese websites, and the chinese wikipediia article along with red links on english wikipedia use the same name. I would prefer that the draft keep the name of the 7th marine brigade and have a redirect of Jiaolong commandos instead as it just simply is a more official name.

Maurice Molarsky article

Hi, Theroadislong--

I have edited the article about the American painter Maurice Molarsky (1885-1950), which you reviewed. I have provided citations from archival and web sources to demonstrate his stature as an award-winning portrait painter whose was displayed in many leading galleries and is now part of the permanent collections of several important museums.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the article.

Thank you.

Frank Beck DieHoren (talk) 03:31, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You could wiki link the museums if notable and then re-submit for review. Theroadislong (talk) 07:47, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Be careful about your wlecomings

Crapple snapple hasn't made useful contributions, so they typically shouldn't be welcomed.

Kingsmasher678 (talk) 18:42, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As you probably know given your number of edits, sorry for the bother!

Kingsmasher678 (talk) 18:42, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kingsmasher678 (talk page watcher) I truly do not think there is a problem with extending a welcome to any editor, even to a disruptive one, assuming your quoted editor to be one such. I have not checked. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:32, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be rather !AGF not to welcome a new editor, even if with the benefit of hindsight this turns out to have been naïve. (Granted, I don't bother myself welcoming very obvious vandals and spammers, but even then, perhaps I should.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:42, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:La Casita Cultural Center

Hiii,

You rejected by draft most recently saying, "Four of the sources are their own website, we have little interest in what that says".

I have fixed that issue, now there is no website used twice as a source! I believe I have addressed your other concerns too :)

Let me know of any other necessary edits!

-Vato Pato Vato Pato (talk) 20:14, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a moment to assist a new editor, please

I an is a dialogue with them at User talk:Theo Scientist Physics, but I think I am not making myself understood. If you would take a short time to absorb the dialogue I think you may be able to improve on my advice there. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:25, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

However the draft was written, it's not suitable for Wikipedia, an Earwig check comes up with nothing but it looks like it's been copied and pasted. Theroadislong (talk) 17:43, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ChatGPT (etc) always presents that way. It's one of the ways to detect it. The opposite of Artificial Intelligence is Genuine Stupidity, of course 🤡 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:47, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ha haa...there is a book called "Beyond Genuine Stupidity Ensuring AI Serves Humanity" too! Theroadislong (talk) 17:52, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There had to be! Was it AI generated?

I'm waiting for WMF to launch the AI version of Wikipedia, with AI generating everything and administering it as well 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:57, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Hope you're fine. I have taken Anzer Ayoob's creator to the SPI. Kindly look at it and help me if there's anything wrong, it's my first-ever SPI filing. Taabii (talk) 15:07, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

draft: Southbridge investments

Thank you for your comment on my draft and really believe it will go along way in helping me work on it. I definitely will try to rephrase the topics to avoid blatant advertising. Will look forward to your assistance whenever you can. Thank you. Marvs100 (talk) 18:20, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Penn Medicine BioBank

Hi,

I'm trying to write a page about the Penn Medicine BioBank, similar to the UK BioBank's: UK Biobank. This page has generally the same sections plus more than mine, so I'm unsure of why mine is being rejected. Thank you! JLD120 (talk) 14:43, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't submitted it for review? The previous draft was deleteted because it was a copyright violation, your latest version is blatant advertising, what is your connection? Theroadislong (talk) 14:46, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just submitted a new one, I tried to add a sentence and change my wording so it doesn't look like advertising, I'm just trying to add it to the list of biobanks and make a page for it.

I'm not connected to the subject- For one of my classes I get extra credit for contributing to Wikipedia about any topic in genetics, so I picked a biobank that hasn't been written about yet. I went off the formatting of the UK BioBank's page and sections. JLD120 (talk) 15:10, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The UK Biobank article has 90 sources, yours has two neither of which appear to be reliable or independent. Has your tutor read Wikipedia:School and university projects? Theroadislong (talk) 15:24, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will search for more sources! Thank you JLD120 (talk) 15:30, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
