Why rejecting everytime?

Hey everytime i submit my article why you guys are rejecting it. Ive edited number of times to get it more notable and wiki friendly. I need answer with solution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShashankChandel1 (talk • contribs) 14:40, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

ShashankChandel1 please read WP:NMUSICIAN and explain how you think you pass the criteria. Theroadislong (talk) 14:44, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
never mind, you've been blocked for sock puppetry and advertising, so won't be able to now. Theroadislong (talk) 15:05, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestions

Hi, Thank you for your suggestions. I wasn't aware that external links were not used. These have now all been removed from the article and all of the awards have now been cited. I really appreciate your help. Muiw4 (talk) 21:41, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi again, I resubmitted my article (Melinda Cruz) on 5 October 2020 after making all the changes you suggested. I noticed today that the estimated review process has changed from 2 months to 3 months. I was just wondering if you were able to take another look to see if there is any more I could do in the meantime to ensure it is accepted once it reaches its place in the cue? Again, I really appreciate your help. Muiw4 (talk) 11:33, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

article to be submitted to Turkish

,Hi Theroadislong, Thank you for reviewing the article. I though I was submitting it to Turkish Wikipedia. But as a novice user, I am not sure if I was able to do it. If you decline it, please do not take it as an act of irresponsible act. I am trying to find out where the Turkish Wikipedia is.. :) Sincerely Elif — Preceding unsigned comment added by MahayanaNK (talk • contribs) 12:51, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Draft UArchitects

dear Theroadislong,

I have deleted all the award section of the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:UArchitects .As the page was found to be commercial. I would like to publish it this thursday , is this possible? And if not, what else is missing.

Kind regards

The draft was rejected meaning it will not be considered further, the current state of the article does not give any indication of the company being notable. Theroadislong (talk) 19:20, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Nicole Couch

You put a box on Nicoles article I was told this by a senior administrator see my talk page! and you did not notify me as required "Note the wp:COI does not prevent you from contributing to articles on topics you know about... that would hardly be sensible. But disclosure of close interests is mandatory." Please remove what you did Also a major contributor? are you out of your mind? the article is over 30 years old all i did was add her pic which she owns and corrected a spelling error and added a section on her upcoming work get a grip your out of your mind with what your claiming!! (talk) 00:35, 21 October 2020 (UTC) Philip H Taylor (talk) 00:41, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

You appear to work for her record label, so you would be deemed a paid editor which it is mandatory to declare. Theroadislong (talk) 07:49, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Michal Alberstein

Hi, Thanks for the quick response. Why isn't a European Union article on Michal Alberstein considered an independent, reliable source? There are also sources like two university websites (European University and Bar Ilan) which are independent and reliable, and journal articles in very reliable sources (Harvard Negotiation Journal, and many more). Thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amirnofit (talk • contribs) 11:19, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

The majority of your sources are not independent though and Wikipedia articles are based on what independent sources say about a subject, not on what he says about himself. Theroadislong (talk) 11:25, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Declined article (Draft: Luke Lintz)

Hi, you declined my article and provided the reason that the person wasn't noteworthy enough. My sources were 3rd party sources. If you can give me more specific information on why the article was declined, I would appreciate that. Thanks! Scarliner (talk) 15:35, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Re: Draft:Luke Lintz The Entrepreneur reference is a 404 error, Forbes is not a reliable source and disruptmagazine.com seems to be user edited so is also not suitable. Theroadislong (talk) 15:41, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Symbol opinion vote.svg Comment: some independent sources might help.

Thank you for your comment. I thought to use peer-reviewed publications to undergird the statements is the best I can do. What kind of "independent sources" I should add do you have in mind? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rainer2020 (talk • contribs) 16:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Lobsang Nyandak

Hi, examining Draft:Lobsang Nyandak, I saw using Reviewer tools that the draft is suspected copyvio: [1]. However, to my knowledge, this is because the "Draft:Lobsang Nyandak" from wikipedia was used for the website, and not the contrary. Do you have any advise about this issue? All the best --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 11:23, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Hmm yes, not sure what to do in that case? Theroadislong (talk) 11:28, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
Many thanks. Would it help if the webmaster from this website would send an email to certify that the draft from wikipedia was used for the website (and not the contrary)? If yes, at which email address? --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 12:35, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
It would be better if the webmaster stated on the website that it was taken from Wikipedia I think. Theroadislong (talk) 12:41, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for advice. As a matter of fact, it was indicated as wikipedia, at least when I indicated this website on fr:Lobsang Nyandak ([2]). I'll ask if possible to put it back on this official website, at least until the end of review of the page (I guess a matter of a few weeks now). --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 12:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
They put back the indication "wikipedia article source" on the biography of Lobsang Nyandak on [3]. I guess this shows that there is no copyvio there. Do you think it is ok as it is now? --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 08:28, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

John Kuriyan

Hi. You applied a paid editor tag to this article in January. I'm doing some research based off an OTRS complaint about paid editing. Can you tell me who you suspect, from the page history? Send me email if you prefer. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:32, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Nine months of Covid infested waters have passed under the bridge since January when I added the tag, I can't see now what led me to that conclusion, but I see that it was removed and then added back again by User:DGG. Theroadislong (talk) 16:42, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
I replied on my talk p. The article has a complicated history of incompetent writing from various coi editors. DGG ( talk ) 04:54, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Review Draft

Dear @Theroadislong, may I request you to review [[4]] please..

I'm stuck halfway adding a picture but am working on it. Thanks a lot in advance.

I'm sorry your draft was rejected and then speedy deleted as unambiguous advertising or promotion: self written vanity page. Theroadislong (talk) 17:24, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Jye Bolton Draft article submitted.

Hi. I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind adding the URL’s to the above draft for me. I have tried but I keep getting errors. Also I would like to add this photo if possible!! Thanks so much for your help, Collingwood Supporter3 (talk) 12:28, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Reference your draft Draft:Jye Bolton I'm not sure what you areasking me to do? Have you read WP:REFB? Creating an article from scratch is the most difficult task on Wikipedia, it's usually advisable to spend a few months editing to get used to how things work before embarking on a draft. Theroadislong (talk) 17:27, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Samarth_Athreya

Hi Theroadislong,

Is it acceptable if I add youtube links (I don't think is).. Can I add some of the original drawings that Samarth Athreya (my son) has done to the Wiki to have it approved ?

Please suggest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sudhindra Athreya (talk • contribs) 13:03, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

This draft has been rejected and will not be considered further, I'm afraid that like most of us, your son is not deemed notable in Wikipedia terms. Theroadislong (talk) 13:06, 24 October 2020 (UTC)


Its not about my son on anybody else's. It's about an young artist. I will fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.252.26.112 (talk) 14:29, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Then why did you say above "Can I add some of the original drawings that Samarth Athreya (my son) has done"? Theroadislong (talk) 14:42, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
Because he is my son and he is an artist.
Sorry you've lost me. Theroadislong (talk) 15:09, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Don't be, Thank for your time. Appreciate it. Stay Safe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sudhindra Athreya (talk • contribs) 15:16, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

I think the user is trying to draw a distinction between "her son" and "the young artist" even though it is the same individual. 331dot (talk) 15:18, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Request regarding Wikipedia article for Larry D. Thomas

I am Larry D. Thomas. My Wikipedia article is currently under review for deletion. Several days ago, you noted some concerns about my awards and the lack of valid links for evidence of same. After you noted your concerns, my article was extensively revised and improved by a Wikipedia administrator. Should it be appropriate for me to do so, I would like to request that you review my revised page to ascertain whether your concerns have been alleviated. Thank you very much for your kind consideration. 73.98.126.125 (talk) 17:27, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

The WP:afd at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Larry D. Thomas will run it's course and an admin will decide either delete or keep based, on the current state of the article and the comments made by reviewers, it's looking likely that it could be kept. Theroadislong (talk) 17:33, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. I really appreciate it. 73.98.126.125 (talk) 18:54, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Adam and Eve

If you had actually read, I wrote in the edit summary that the use of the term myth was not neutral. Alas, as the atheists seem to have hijacked Wikipedia, we can't really expect neutrality, can we? TheKingLives (talk) 16:00, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

The 'myth' wording is the result of extensive discussion on the talk page, and is supported by reliable sources. If you disagree with it, please take your point to the talk page as previously requested. Theroadislong (talk) 16:03, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

My article was denied yesterday. Could you do me a small favour and tell me the errors and how to work it out. I couldn't understand the entire meaning when I read in my userpage.You can also do necessary edits yourself if you please.

Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karikku (2nd nomination). The title has been create-protected, so you will need an admin to accept it now, which doesn't seem likely. Theroadislong (talk) 17:11, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Karikku (web series)

I have provided notable sources like The Hindu, The Indian Express etc..., on my second attempt after the article was declined yesterday. I believe that the subject is relevant, as it has recieved a high amount of popularity even after belonging to the Malayalam language, which is a scheduled language in India. Even a film was released by grouping the series, which was released on Youtube. But is it justified to just deny the article, because it was nominated for deletion in the past.--Atlantis77177 (talk) 17:21, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

You will need to discuss this with an admin, there is nothing I can do, it has been create-protected. Theroadislong (talk) 17:37, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Doubts

I noticed that you are a Wikipedia veteran who has the right to accept or decline a new article. I have followed your advice and done some edits except for 1 fact (in which I found no other notable source for other than The Times Of India. Could please just give me an unofficial review on my article as it would be of great use to me. I had just 1 more question: If you were an official reviewer, why didn't you officialy accept or decline my article. If the question is senseless, I apologize as I am new to Wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Assassin7177 (talk • contribs) 16:30, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

As the title is protected, you will need to find an admin to accept the draft. Theroadislong (talk) 16:34, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

You could still give me a proper review please--Assassin7177 (talk) 16:47, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Assassin7177, I am an admin, I work frequently with articles of organizations of all types, and I have now reviewed (and declined) the article. Further reviews should be done by another reviewer DGG ( talk ) 21:15, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

explanation of the pointless edits

I am not very confident in my editing skills, so I tried to edit very minor things. I see now that an edit that is pointless is disruptive and will try not to make pointless edits again. Firestar9990 (talk) 19:36, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi,

Apologies for not replying to you directly before making the edit - I only saw that request after I had republished the article after deleting the point you had flagged in the article.

Apologies too for the confusion with my position with regards to the article. I can confirm that I work at Net World Sports but it was never my intention to mislead anyone. I noticed that a number of other sports businesses have Wikipedia articles as well as many other businesses in the local area so I had hoped that I could publish the Net World Sports article on the basis that it was totally impartial and used trusted sources throughout. Other than having used the Wikipedia Sandbox I've never published anything on Wikipedia before so I'm not fully familiar with the process - if I have acted out of turn I sincerely apologise.

My thinking had been that the business was worthy of inclusion based on the owner been named the UK's richest young entrepreneur in the Time's Rich List and the fact the business is now established as a major e-commerce website in countries around the world but I fully appreciate that I don't have a full understanding of Wikipedia to be confident that that is the case.

I really hope the article comes across as impartial now that the point you raised has been removed so it can be published.

I look forward to your feedback.

Silk0071! (talk) 14:31, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

you need to post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Silk0071!, the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Silk0071!|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Theroadislong (talk) 14:40, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with everything so far. I think I have added this to the user page correctly but if not let me know and I'll try again. Hopefully the article has now been submitted as it should have been originally - apologies again. Silk0071! (talk) 14:50, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for your time and your guidance. I am NOT a PR person or getting paid to write this. It's my first Wiki article so I appreciate all the guidance you can give me.

You are creating articles on your user page and talk page, they are not the correct location for creating articles. For instance if you wish tocrrate an article about Popoola Abolaji, then you could create it here Draft:Popoola Abolaji, but be aware that creating an article from scratch is the hardest task on Wikipedia and if you have a conflict of interest it is even more difficult.

Editors removing block notices

Just to let you know, per WP:BLANKING and WP:OWNTALK, editors are forbidden from removing declined unblock requests but there's no restriction on removing a block notice. The key details about the block should be recorded in block log but of course editors can also check the page history from the time of the block if they need to find it.

Callan Method review

Hi, Thanks for your comments on the Callan Method article submission, though disappointing. Your colleagues had indicated that they felt the sources, the style and the content of the page were admissable and I now don't know where to go with this. The Callan Method is known all over the world and has been around for the last fifty years so I am not trying to present something new or offer any opinions about it. From what I can see the reviews about Callan Method are from people who use it, of which there seem to be a lot. I myself studied Spanish with Callan Method, hence my enthusiasm. Can you let me know what is unacceptable in the page? I will be happy to remove it. Robert Hercules (talk) 16:18, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

The fact we already have an article on Ayman Asfari is irrelevant, each article is reviewed on it's own merits, your draft has zero reliable independent sources so has been rejected. Theroadislong (talk) 12:31, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Scientists for Labour Wiki Page

Hi there. This is my first article, and I confess I'm struggling to understand exactly why it has been rejected. I've been asked by Scientists For Labour to create the Scientists For Labour Wiki page. I've linked the Scientists For Labour website as a source, and I've been asked by their administrator to make the page, so I'm just not sure what the problem is? Any help you could give me would be appreciated. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stefan Lamb (talk • contribs) 12:00, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

In order for an article subject to be considered notable by the Wikipedia community, we require that an article subject receive significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject their own website cannot be used to establish notability. You also need to declare your conflict of interest on your user page, per Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure you must disclose 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. Theroadislong (talk) 12:31, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Sastha Aravind

Yes, I agree. But so far, no one has given me one valid point to prove that he is not notable. Infact, I see that few pages written in Wikipedia has his content, copy pasted. I have retained it as draft, whenever they find it notable, let them approve.it's my duty to continue to keep updating.

I have made few more titles as trichur brothers, which I am yet to add. I want Wikipedia to be as resourceful for Indian Hindus as possible. Vasudharini (talk) 10:43, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Any update? I have been trying to bring this to a discussion point, but after just saying it is not notable, they just stop. Only if anyone is able to guide me, with what is exactly wrong with the sources, I would be clear. Vasudharini (talk) 12:53, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Vasudharini You have added sources but you have not submitted it for review, if you are certain that he passes the notability criteria or WP:NAUTHOR go ahead and submit. Theroadislong (talk) 12:58, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Since it is deleted multiple times, I am unsure, hence seeking help. If anyone who is able to go through and then suggest, I would be able to do it. Thank you so much. I'll try to submit it for review again. Vasudharini (talk) 13:01, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello.

Hello Theroadislong, I do not understand what you mean? I have studied this for like 2 hours and I do not know if you want to delete it? Please do not if you want to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NoirVozeeWolf (talk • contribs) 18:40, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

I am not an admin so cannot delete your draft, but I do notice now, that we already have an article on the Aardwolf so your draft is redundant. Theroadislong (talk) 18:46, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Philippa Beale Wikipedia Page

I am not her friend or relative. I have been to a few of her exhibitions and follow her on social media, that is all. Please let me have the chance to provide information with citations as required by Wikipedia.

OK, but do read WP:NARTIST for the criteria that she needs to pass in order to have an article. Theroadislong (talk) 18:49, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
My reasoning for suspecting, was that you labeled a photograph of her work as "The Hunting Wood painted by Philippa Beale in 2013. Date 14 May 2017 Source "Own work" how do you own the copyright? The photograph has now been tagged as a copyright violation. Theroadislong (talk) 18:53, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Lester J. Brown

Thank you. I am a complete novice. I just added a reference. This was an article posted in the Journal of the Dental Association of South Africa on the death of my father, Dr. Lester J. Brown. The oration was given by a prominent Surgeon, Dr. Lionel Blum. What more do I have to do? Again thanks for your help. I just discovered what a tildes is but I'm not sure what its purpose is. Rochella Cooper November 7th 2020 a day to remember! (Rochellacooper (talk) 19:51, 7 November 2020 (UTC))

That would be a copyright violation, all content needs to be written in your own words, referring to reliable sources. In order to demonstrate notability, you need to provide multiple references to in-depth articles written about Lester J. Brown in unrelated, independent journals, magazines, books or online. If there are no sources then we can’t have an article about them. Yes.. November 7th a memorable day indeed! Theroadislong (talk) 20:00, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

As per the comment on the draft "Needs external news sources to show notability outside of the university" it doesn't appear to be a notable topic, no amount of editing will change that. Theroadislong (talk) 08:16, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

I thought I reverted it

I asked a question at the teahouse about profanity and sooner found out Wikipedia is not censored. I carelessly deleted a statement and genuinely thought I had reverted my edits here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aurelio_Voltaire&diff=prev&oldid=987169196. I've been wrapping my head around the whole wikipedia policies so i appreciate any kind assistance. I just checked it again now as you have overtly showed me. Thanks.

My edit

I did leave a reason of why I removed the sentence in the Wikipedia article One America News Network. It was completely biased. There’s no facts backing it up.

Sojourn Wallace

Hi. I am in no way shape or form being paid for editing this page. I read all the rules to ensure it was appropriate for me to do so and in turn understood it was. My only reason for writing the article about Sojourn is that she is a very well known, social activist, and in particular the grassroots refugee welfare space. Everyone knows her and when a memo was released about a skatepark being built in Lebanon after the explosion, for the first time, someone questioned why this woman didn't have a wiki page considering her age, her race, and all of her accomplishments. I work for Open Society Foundation, and formerly for the UN and know that her name is known or as you say "noteworthy". Due to Covid, I had some free time to 'try' to write the article. If the way I wrote it sounds inappropriate, I'd be happy to take pointers on how to sound more neutral. At this point, I feel even more committed to getting this right!

I have removed the tag for you. The sources are all dumped at the end of the draft and would be better following exactly the content that they verify. Theroadislong (talk) 20:42, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

In regards to the article Le Touquet

Hello there! The reference you did not approve as sufficient coverage is a French newspaper, this newspaper I have listed is well known and reliable in France, please see here. It clearly mentions that Idan and Markowicz worked together to put together the Exhibition - If it shows in french on your computer please let me know and I am happy to send you a translated article. I do not see a relationship between the artist mentioned and this Wikipedia page - I do not believe there is a conflict of interest. What do you advise? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaeleymccann1 (talk • contribs) 17:36, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

In order for an article subject to be considered notable by the Wikipedia community, we require that an article subject receive significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. One source no matter how reliable really doesn't suffice. Theroadislong (talk) 18:05, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Draft: Rico Torres

Hello Theroadislong,

I have removed all non-reliable sources and pending your approval for one of my many submissions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Rico_Torres

I reviewed all of your submissions as well, which is why I am learning how to submit properly. I saw this one of this actress that you submitted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clare_Cathcart , the actor that I am submitting has far more references than she does and she has a profile.

I would like to know why this actor profile I submitted has not been approved yet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elenacheesee (talk • contribs) 23:22, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

There are no "profiles" on Wikipedia, just articles which are supported by reliable sources, another reviewer will doubtless look at it soon. Theroadislong (talk) 23:26, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply Theroadislong. Yes, I was asked to help a scientist put up a very neutral profile on Wikipedia. And yes, I am being paid to do so as he says he is not a writer and wanted a professional to do it. He already has a profile describing his business, but wanted one put up to summarize who he is in relation to his business. Be happy to send you the details as to who he is on a private line if possible. I guess I have to read the link that was sent to me to understand how to find 10 articles to edit? I didn't know this would be so complicated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scientrep (talk • contribs) 19:14, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Scientrep you will need to make the mandatory disclosure on your user page first, creating an article from scratch is the MOST difficult thing to do on Wikipedia, being paid to do so, will make it even more difficult, spending a few months editing other articles would give you a feel for how things work here, whilst diving straight in is likely to be unsuccessful, either way you will need to use the WP:AFC process. Paid editing whilst not forbidden is very much discouraged here. Theroadislong (talk) 19:43, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Draft: Rico Torres

I do not have "close connection" to this subject. I am an executive assistant at MEDLIFE which is a non-profit geared to helping those in the underserved communities with basic access to healthcare, sanitation and building schools. I want to begin writing about several people who I feel represent the culture of giving back to communities. I am starting with Rico Torres and then working my way across list of actors, singers and authors. I don't understand, do you not want me to write articles about people who make a difference? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elenacheesee (talk • contribs) 15:58, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia has articles about notable people only. Notability of a topic is judged by looking at the depth of coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources.

Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources containing significant coverage. Some degree of regional, statewide, national, or international media coverage is also required. Most people are not suitable subjects for an encyclopedia article Theroadislong (talk) 16:01, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

I look at your submission list and all the people I am going to write about including Rico Torres has more than 15-20 references and is more of a notable figure than many of what you have submitted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elenacheesee (talk • contribs) 16:06, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

See other stuff exists it is not a good argument, please be patient the article has been much improved by the removal of poor quality sources, another reviewer will most likely accept it shortly, I don't like to review a draft more than once so as to get a broader opinion for you. Theroadislong (talk) 16:10, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

I am patient, I just really want to have a list as big as yours and I hate that because I am just beginning I get told all these things when I compare my writing and articles with others that are far worse than mine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elenacheesee (talk • contribs) 16:12, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

I do not understand what the problem here is? I am waiting to get this article approved so that I can begin working on the next article?

If so, then I am going to dedicate my time elsewhere but please let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elenacheesee (talk • contribs) 20:44, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

If the photograph was taken by Bobby Quillard you do NOT hold the copyright and have no right to upload, it will be deleted. Theroadislong (talk) 20:47, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Okay? Anything else? Do you want me to being my 2nd and 3rd article and deny them all or are we going to proceed with this article being published so that I do not waste anymore time? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elenacheesee (talk • contribs) 21:12, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

I wish to create a Wikipedia site for the photographer James Fortune

Thank you for your detailed response, but I am more confused than ever. I gave up last time, nothing made any sense, but I totally believe in Wikipedia and use it all time, and I have lots to contribute. I guess I'll look over the articles and instructions, but I don't have the kind of mind that seems to understand this. I created my account under brookesaunders, do I make the James Fortune page from that? Or do I create a new account for James Fortune? I looked at all the other rock photographers out there and James Fortune is equally legendary and qualified to be there, that is beyond dispute. I can create a basic article on him, with links to Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, and the hundred other superstars he photographed. Then do I submit that and hope you guys believe in his status to be on Wikipedia? What other proof would you need about him? I don't want to do all this work to have the article rejected. Brookesaunders (talk) 23:09, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Have you read the response to your Teahouse post? Please read "this guide written by a Wikipedia administrator named Ian.thomson to see if that's a real possibility. If it is, then perhaps you could start working on a draft for a possible article about him, and then submit it to Wikipedia:Articles for creation for review when you think it's ready. You can find some general information on how articles are actually expected to be written and how citations are to be added to articles in Help:Your first article and Help:Referencing for beginners."Creating an article from scratch is the very hardest thing to do on Wikipedia, and doubly difficult when you have a conflict of interest, I strongly suggest you leave it for others unconnected to create the article, which if he is notable will surely happen.

One big "Thank you"

I just wanted to acknowledge how much I have long appreciated your innumerable 'thanks' notifications for a range of edits I have made. It is reassuring to know that other editors think something was correctly called. Although I am not very good, myself, at leaving 'thanks' in return, I thought it was about time I dropped by to thank you for all the sterling work that you do here. Maybe this is a bit of a 'mutual admiration society' message - but I mean it. So, "thanks". Nick Moyes (talk) 19:51, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Naturopathy

I would be interested in your thoughts: a) Do you think the summary gives a clear idea of what Naturopathy is? b) Do you think it could be written better?

It is irrelevant what my thoughts are, you were blocked for 48 hours for edit warring on your return, you immediately started edit warring again. Theroadislong (talk) 11:28, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

OK, so to be clear, you are not interested in improving this article? There is a talk page on the entry if you would like to engage in improvement, as your thoughts would be welcomed. Rmjowett (talk) 11:38, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

The lede section of an article should summarise the content of the body, this article appears to do just that namely "Naturopathy or naturopathic medicine is a form of alternative medicine that employs an array of pseudoscientific practices branded as "natural", "non-invasive", or promoting "self-healing"." On Wikipedia we unambiguously specify when a practice is pseudoscience and adjust the weight of articles according to the mainstream and scientific views of relevant experts in the field, supported with reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 11:46, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

So we need to improve the main body and the lede then? If I were to ask you what Naturopathy is, given the information contained in this article, could you give a decent answer? Rmjowett (talk) 11:59, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

I am happy with the article as it is, if you want changes, you will need to provide the reliable sources that support them and get consensus on the talk page.

Is the Cambridge Dictionary regarded as an unreliable source? I am trying to seek consensus on the article talk page but thus far I have had zero engagement. Rmjowett (talk) 12:12, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
