Where do you think we are with this one now? She has three bona fide "significant" roles released now, so she certainly technically meets WP:NACTOR. And the High School musical series is getting a lot of press... But when I look for profiles of just Rodrigo, I'm still not finding much. So... thoughts? (TIA!) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:38, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- IJBall, I see [1] which is echoed on TV Insider. That's got her birthplace but a paragraph-sized profile of what she's been in. I'm hoping there are some more detailed articles though. Here's a profile from See Jane / Geena Davis Institute [2] This article on AV Club is headlined how she and othe cast members are already stars [3] Lots of "meet the cast" articles from mainstream media though. Here's one from Columbus Dispatch about her career with Madison Hu on Bizaardvark [4] (same article at Fresno Bee [5] ) Here's one for Paved New World in J-14 magazine [6] and Variety [7] She in a ton of Just Jared Jr. blog articles, although that's not that good a source. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:52, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- I think one good profile piece or interview (from a decent-quality source) would get this one over the hump. But I've yet to find one that I really think does it (this LA Times piece makes some mention of her, but still not in enough detail)... However, it's possible with the Disney+ debut that somebody will write something substantive up on her over the next few weeks. I'll try to remember to keep an eye out... Thanks! --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:13, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- Here's a press release that mentions her middle school. [8] and this interview talks about that she's Filipino [9] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 08:18, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- Sweety High isn't the most RSP of sources but still worth an interview [10] Video interview with ET Canada [11] Popsugar cast interview [12] It looks like co-star Madison Hu has her own page. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 08:29, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- IJBall, I don't know if that interview article will come out; it might be too much to expect something like Lena Waithe's Vanity Fair cover article [13] for interview, but do you think there's enough based on the news media coverage on the High School Musical web series? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:19, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- Even for someone at career level of Rodrigo, and "in depth" profile is not out of the question, IMO. For example, look at some of the non-inline sources at Draft:Cree Cicchino (another draft article I need to go over again at some point, and see if it's ready!) – Cicchino actually has 2 or 3 in-depth profiles (from 1 or 2 decent media sources), so it's not unreasonable to wait for Rodrigo to get similar coverage... As to your question, without a more in-depth profile, I'd say it's a "not yet", as the HSM coverage is mostly about the show, with Rodrigo only getting more peripheral focus in a lot of those articles. However, as soon as Rodrigo gets a decently in-depth profile or interview in a decent-ish quality WP:RS, then I'd say it's ready for mainspace. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:37, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Hey, please be careful with Starklinson and their edits (FTR, I'm not the only one who has problems with this editor) – IMO, this is an editor that is more interested in getting articles into Mainspace than they are with writing good quality articles that are well-sourced. The issues that you and I have discussed with this article remain, and Starklinson's changes really do nothing to address them – it's still missing a high-quality profile article or interview. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:52, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- IJBall, okay will hold off on the CSD part for now. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:08, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
Help
i dont know what you mean by reviews. i want to add it but i dont understand. you mean game reviews? and how many do you want? who do you want it from? please be more specific. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OTFTYT (talk • contribs) 02:05, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- OTFTYT, yes, game reviews from video game magazines and websites that are considered reliable under WP:VG/RS AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:18, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF, Ok, I'll add that. I'll just add some top reviews from the app store because i can't view reviews from the Nintendo Store. OTFTYT (talk) 02:33, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- OTFTYT, they need to be professional reviews, not aggregates from the App Store / Nintendo Store or random people on there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:42, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
Regarding speedy deletion of my page.

I would like to request you that please have look at the attached file for my contest for deletion along with the reply from your side for my last edit.
It would be a lot more effective if you can do let me know how can I modify the document, all the necessary details will be shared to you if you need them.
Here is the link for my google document page: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TpvGBV7_J6qRXiZclF9BgtK6DvnX9p3ZCZeDCSEBmKk/edit#heading=h.mzdudx8900tv
Here is the link for Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Manishprivet/sandbox

- Sumitshinde2608, the page is now at Aurora (festival). You can develop it there, however, do not add the detailed program / agenda / schedule that you had in the sandbox as that is excessively promotional. Also, you have a direct conflict of interest so you and Manishprivet will be limited on what you can add to the article. See WP:COI AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:13, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
Speedy deletion
Hi AngusWoof
Could you give me some advice about the deletion of a draft article? I can't find a reference to which article it was. And I guess it's been deleted now.
This would help me to do better in future.
Was it about Spac Nation? I added citations from two national newspapers, Huffington Post, and one local newspaper; and that seemed to meet Wikipedia's guidelines. But maybe I'm wrong?
I'd value any thoughts you might have.
Thanks Sadgrove (talk) 18:27, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Sadgrove, Huffington Post can only be used if the editor is actually part of the Huffington Post staff, and not a contributor. See WP:RSP on what sources can be used. Same with Forbes. Do not use Forbes contributors. There was a draft for Spac Nation but it was speedy deleted because it was an attack page. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:17, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Jess Dyce
Hi AngusWOOF I'm currently trying to build a new page for Jess Dyce and have submitted two versions. The first was a fumbled attempt at trying to create a page but the second one is the one that I feel is a little better. The one that I would like published is;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jess_Dyce_2
I understand that there is some problems with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jess_Dyce_2 but did not know what to do to improve it. Once this page is OK I would like to delete the first version (Jess Dyce)

- 129.130.88.169, how does "Estimating Water use by Vegetation is crucial for conserving water, managing Irrigation, and acquiring Water right information of individuals for Legal purpose. Farmers need these information to apply accurate Water in Crop for optimum Crop yield...." introduce what the BAITSSS is? It should start with the second paragraph and be more concise. It needs a history of the term / project. Who created it? How was it funded? How was it rolled out? Is it still active? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:55, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
Great, I have incorporated your various suggestions. I would appreciate if you review again.
Not sure about history and rolled out, this draft is based on the fact what is found in the web. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.130.88.169 (talk) 18:37, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
— Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.130.88.169 (talk) 03:02, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
- 129.130.88.169, the article already has a bit of the history and origins in the lead paragraph. It just needs to be explained in better detail in a History section. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:06, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
Added small section of history as per found in web. Can you please let me know? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.130.88.169 (talk) 15:24, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
Does anyone know what is the problem in this draft, I have updated some? — Preceding unsigned comment added by IDKANS (talk • contribs) 14:49, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- IDKANS, it still looks overly technical like a journal report, see WP:NOTJOURNAL. It doesn't need to be a status update or a mirror of a website. I'm also concerned if any of the editors on this are connected to the program or the research group. If so, they should declare WP:COI. It's still in the submission queue, so other AFC reviewers can take a look from a fresh perspective. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:14, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Not sure about all these micro details, but for me, it looks a nice model description and better than many models described in the wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IDKANS (talk • contribs) 15:16, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Seems you have asked many things to add ?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by IDKANS (talk • contribs) 15:22, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- There is also promotional verbiage in the lead: "The estimation of water use by vegetation is crucial for conserving water, managing Irrigation, acquiring water right information, and crop production.[3][12] Farmers need these information for accurately applying water to crops for optimum yield." Other lines / bullet points read like they are advocating the advantages or using this model over others. This needs to be rewritten neutrally. Also it should be able to have some criticism from others in the scientific community. See WP:PROUD AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:25, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
I don't think so, it seems accurate statement to me. "The estimation of water use by vegetation is crucial for conserving water, managing Irrigation, acquiring water right information, and crop production", there might many other literature to support that.
Regarding the bullet, I think, they are trying to make some distinctions between other models, at least it is from the published manuscripts, not sure about the scientific community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IDKANS (talk • contribs) 15:34, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Removed the bullets. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IDKANS (talk • contribs) 15:40, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- IDKANS, I just realized the formatting of some other threads got mixed up with the BAITSSS one. Anyway, my point about the "estimation is crucial" phrase, and others like it, is that it carries a promotional advocacy tone. It's like saying "Clean drinking water is good for your health." See WP:NPOV. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:16, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Edited as per your points. Not sure, what can be done to make better. Overall, it seems widely published and mentioned in various places. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IDKANS (talk • contribs) 17:50, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- IDKANS, another option is to put those opinionated statements as quotes from one of the researchers or reviewing writers, like: Ramesh said that "the estimation of water use by vegetation is crucial for conserving water, managing Irrigation, acquiring water right information, and crop production." (provided he actually said that) AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:38, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
I think, removal of that line is safer. Thanks, Overall good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IDKANS (talk • contribs) 19:09, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Not sure what is that cite error referring. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IDKANS (talk • contribs) 19:27, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Great, anything needs to be done on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IDKANS (talk • contribs) 20:21, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Seems, this draft is pending for year, not sure, the expectations of reviewers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IDKANS (talk • contribs) 06:11, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
I have done some minor edits and updated some references, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/tables is showing prediction vandalism, any idea. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IDKANS (talk • contribs) 06:02, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- IDKANS, how is it pending for a year when the last feedback was last month? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:26, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- IDKANS, the more it can be reduced to its basic explanation of the project and its impact / applications, without too much technical detail, the more that would help. It also helps if there are WP:GNG sources on the project. Ones that are secondary external news sources that are independent of the subject. Can you list those up front in the comments section? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:28, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
Can you please specify the section that needs to be reduced (do you think we need to reduce or delete the Approach Section or reduce and also the technical details in application sections??). Probably, I can try to reduce as per your guidelines/thoughts.
Secondary external news sources that are independent of the subject: (added in comment sections). My concern this draft was initiated in January, 2019,and some of the coverage may start disappearing in websites/news.
- IDKANS, thanks, that looks good. Thanks for pointing out the citations from the other journals and the AAAS article. That helps. It might still be tagged for being overly technical, but I'll let the other editors figure that out. if you are concerned the websites/news sites are going offline, then you have those particular articles archived with Wayback. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:49, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, I would help to clean up and make neutral point of view, if someone gives some clear guidelines, anyway, thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IDKANS (talk • contribs) 18:03, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- IDKANS, so are you connected to the group in any way? Same university department or used their product in your research? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:03, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
Evapotranspiration is common to many subjects (engineering, agriculture, agronomy, biology, hydrology), BAITSSS is different than others. I am interested/aware of these models. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IDKANS (talk • contribs) 20:16, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

- Monmouth1946, it looks like the verbiage was copied from some other biography, so that needs to be rewritten, otherwise it is a copyright violation. Also if there are better attributions to online media newspapers or books, that would help show whether the person is notable. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:06, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Request on 14:02:52, 20 November 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Ezbsg
AngusWOOF, I'm new to Wiki. How is this different than the iPhone page that promotes one product and company? I'm using other products as a guideline but struggling with these seemingly arbitrary decisions as to what is and isn't a promotion. Creating up a p[age that defines a significant product and how it helps rescue pets doesn't seem like "blatant advertising" to me. I reference Microsoft Windows and Apple's iPhone as examples. (talk) 13:53, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Ezbsg (talk) 14:02, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- Ezbsg see WP:NPOV. It should describe the product or company in a neutral way and not read like verbiage copied from their website. See if you can write the article without using any of its websites, press releases, or social media. Also if you are connected to the company or its people in any way, you need to disclose conflict of interest WP:COI and it would be better that someone else write about the product. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:46, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
AngusWOOF I've read NPOV and understand its stradegy. Once again I reference iPhone which has links to Apple's web site and describes a single product and talks about nothing but the iPhone. I don't see the difference between that page and what I am trying to create. (User talk:Ezbsg) 14:56, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- Ezbsg It should only have a single external link to the company / product at the bottom. The rest of the info can be constructed from secondary source news articles that write about the subject. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:04, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF Once again I reference Apple's pages which do not follow your guidance. Why is it acceptable to have many links there but not acceptable to have a couple on what I am contributing. There appears to be a huge gap in in consistency as to what is acceptable and what is not. (User talk:EzBsg) 15:12, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- Ezbsg, I would suggest trying to dig up information on Rabies Reader using sources that are not connected to the product or company. Get some newspaper or magazine reviews on it. See WP:WBA on the sections on impartial tone. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:01, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF, Understood. It seems for new services or products that don't have much maturity that could be a stumbling block for creating an article. (talk) 20:08, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
least dangerous assumption (draft)
Hi AngusWOOF,
Thanks for your (very rapid) reviews of the page I'm proposing. The turnaround is appreciated.
This is an important page to get on Wikipedia. The phrase passes the criteria notability, verifiability, and reliability of sources. It's an important concept and it should be documented. I am at a bit of a loss to know where to go with it. As far as I can see I have set the context clearly (it's a pedagogic concept, particularly important in educational policy areas such as inclusion, and used in the fields of intellectual disability and communication disorder). I've described the contept in an encyclopic way (neutral, reling on reliable secondary sources), saying what it is and illustrating its meaning with an example. I'm not sure waht else I can do. Sure I could write more (way more) but some entries surely need to be terse and to the point (I don't see what a history of its coining adds to the understanding of what it is). And I've never seen a journal abstract looking like this draft (maybe in terms of length, but not in terms of content) - so I'm rally not sure in what way it looks like a journal abstract. So I'd very much appreciate figuring out how to get this moving in a way that enables a terse, informative entry to find its place in wikipedia.
I very much appreciate the review process and the shared agenda of ensuring that wikipedia stays what it is intended to be - so none of this is 'moaning'. [[Draft:The_least_dangerous_assumption]

- Iorek100, here's a blog writeup where someone tries to explain LDA. [14] Note how it includes the origins of the phrase. "Over 30 years ago, special educator Anne McDonnellan coined this phrase by stating that in the “absence of conclusive data, educational decisions ought to be based on assumptions which, if incorrect, will have the least dangerous effect on the likelihood that students will be able to functional independently as adults.”" Here's another blog writeup [15] that mentions 1984 as origin. And one from Oilbean [16] So it should explain what LDA is and then how it's been popularized and widely used since then. But find a more magazine article like source or a reliable source website rather than random blogs. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:17, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for your help with this. It's a good process having page creastion so carefully gate-kept. I'll endeavour to ensure the page keeps improving now that it has been created, in line with the aims of Wikipedia. Iorek 16:36, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].
Thank you!
Draft: Injury Reserve
Hi AngusWOOF
Thanks for looking at and reviewing my article on Injury Reserve's self titled album so quickly after I submitted it.
You mentioned that I should add more in the critical reception section, which I did. However, you also mentioned that I should put where it charted. As far as I know, the album didn't chart anywhere, as it doesn't show up on Billboard's website (they also track the non-US charts). I believe that the album is still noteworthy and deserves an article though.
If you think it's okay for me to submit the article anyway, then I'll do that. If otherwise, let me know and I'll see if I can fix the problem.
- Krimzonmania7078
- Krimzonmania7078, it needs the reviews and the charting in order to meet WP:NALBUM. Please review the criteria there and indicate how the article would meet that. If it didn't chart, it needs critical reception from reviewers of reputable music websites. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:18, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF, I've had a look at the WP:NALBUM criteria and it would definitely meet 1. (it has been covered by multiple reputable music websites). According to WP:NALBUM it only needs to meet one of the criteria to be noteworthy.
- Krimzonmania7078
- Krimzonmania7078, you can resubmit that, and indicate that it would meet so. I've cleaned up the sourcing a bit to include the authors. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:38, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- Krimzonmania7078, please ensure that the critics reviewing the album are respectable journalists and not the random "contributors" of the Huffpost/Forbes kind that post their own reviews without editorial oversight. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:30, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF, I've looked at the journalists in question and they all seem to be from reputable, music-specific publications, so hopefully that is fine.
I wanted to ask about the album cover: I uploaded an image of the album cover to Wikimedia Commons and put it on the draft article, but the image was removed from the draft (as 'non free images are not allowed except on articles'), and now the image itself has been removed from wikimedia commons. Do you know what I can do about this - can I submit the article and add the image later, or is there some other way I can resolve this? Thanks for your help.
- Krimzonmania7078
- Krimzonmania7078, yeah you might have to wait until the article is in the mainspace first. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:12, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
- Krimzonmania7078, I'm requesting the redirect be cleared so I can move the article over to mainspace. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:20, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF, Thanks so much! This is my first article and to see it get onto Wikipedia is really rewarding. People like you are what makes doing this worthwile. I appreciate it!

Regarding the image restoration for the List of Toriko episodes
Hello again. I have a concern about restoring the previous image to the List of Toriko episodes. Since it was deleted as per this discussion, should we restore it, take it to WP:Deletion review or replace it with a promotional poster for now? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 09:06, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- Lord Sjones23, it's up to you. DVD would be okay for List of episodes or the (TV series) draft. I would go with the manga covers for the Toriko franchise/manga side. It sounds like the WP:TV folks would prefer a logo; that would be fine as well. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:39, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF, I just restored the DVD cover to the article. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 14:18, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
Article Improved 'Yusuf Magaji Bichi'
Hello AngusWOOF,
Thanks for your contributions! I have improved my article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Yusuf_Magaji_Bichi based on your corrections, can you please recheck it for me again? This article seems the same with the biography of the previous DGs State Security Service (Nigeria). Ibnadambici (talk) 10:47, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Ibnadambici, okay, it's good enough for now. I've moved it to mainspace. Please continue to provide more external news sources. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:34, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing my draft. It's my first-ever attempt to create a new page on Wikipedia and that's great you offered how to improve the article. I agree with your comments that notability should be expressed in a bolder way. Moreover, when I came across this topic, I actually thought it's more like a local event stuff. But then I delved into this, searched for mentions in more sources, and it appeared to be quite a big project held for several years and far from a single event, that I thought it deserved to be described here. So now thanks to your comments I paid more attention to what notability is and how it needs to be shown, and I've just added more external sources, including Giornale di Sicilia, for example, which is definitely a notable one as one of big popular media. Let me know if it is good to get approved now, please, because it looks like it does, so I am resubmitting it now. Thank you. Avbgok (talk) 10:02, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
- Avbgok, please add the national or outside-the-region coverage of the event; That will help show notability. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:19, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF, I've found and added several larger-scale references in addition to existing - coverage on Agenparl, an independent national agency for political, economic and social information based in Rome, Association of theaters of Tuscany's Pistoia region, and cultural ministry's website covering its second season as it went under its auspices within the framework of the European Year of Cultural Heritage according to the related designation by the European Commission. Looks much better and its notability is more understandable when it is shown like this, I agree. Great experience for me to better understand how it all should work here, in fact. Please do the final check when you get a chance just in case. Thank you. Avbgok (talk) 19:33, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi @AngusWOOF, I made the required changes you suggested. For the Coi, I have already me tioned it on my home page. Please check and let me know. I have resubmitted the article again. Manas.chafekar (talk) 16:55, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
November 22, 2019: Hi AngusWOOF, thank you for your helpful feedback for construction of this draft.

Good morning, and happy thanksgiving. I just corrected the concerns that you had with the article "Draft:Joseph A. Camp" and resubmitted it for consideration. Thank you for your constructive critique. After adding additional verifiable citations to the entry it does indeed appear to be a more reliable and notable article. I had previously submitted the article which was declined as a placeholder. Joseph is a complicated individual because his satire is often not connected to his birthname. Some of his satire is spread across non-reliable sources such as third party blogs and the like, created by others. I am working to chronicle what we have as far as what we KNOW is Joseph, but not connected by name to him. I believe the resubmitted article is enough to get submitted to the article page, and I can continue to work on the edits thereafter. The cited sources are news, court filings, federal agency documents etc. I removed much unsourced details for the time being and kept it pretty basic as I have seen on other entries. Thank for the feedback, the amendments truly did make the article better. ~~Allen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Denvernativ (talk • contribs) 17:22, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
Resubmitting my draft article for resubmission
Hi @AngusWOOF,
First of all apologies for the issue I may have created that led to undoing the revision. Not sure what happened there. I have resubmitted my article that you rejected on 4th Oct 2019.

Draft:Registration and Electoral Office
I understand regularly the article will be undersourced but it is very common for Hong Kong Government agency Wikipedia page and I follow the ongoing standard, I will be happy to look for more but here are some of those pages comparison.

Commonly these category of articles only have 2-3 references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Felixishim (talk • contribs) 08:36, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Felixishim, can you find some external news articles about it though? It could easily be absorbed into the Electoral Affairs Commission article which has that REO in bold. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:03, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
It has been updated with external sources, I would like to mention as well that this page existed in another language so notability shouldn't be an issue.Felixishim (talk) 13:49, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- Felixishim, if the page was translated from the other Wikipedia article, you should attribute it to that. Also please use more of the recommended WP:GNG sources. Other language Wikipedias have different standards for sourcing. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:35, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for informing me of the problems of my draft article. There are a few things I would like to ask as a maths pro (my username translates to "Lord of Math"):
- Firstly, the draft I wrote was intended for mathematicians, the object in question itself is intrinsically technical and laypeople is unlikely to come across this term from normal math books. So do I still need to provide (at least some) explanation for some terms? Because I wrote this draft based on the style of Lagrange number.
- Besides, Markov number, Markov constant and Markov spectrum are actually different types of things - a sequence of integers, a function on numbers and a set of real numbers respectively - so I think it is quite easy to distinguish between the three. Also, I already put the term "Diophantine approximation" on the title, and the other two items are also unrelated to Diophantine approximation. So by your comment "Please indicate how this is different from Markov number...", how do I proceed?
- Finally, do you know an admin who excels in math? I would like to know one.
Thanks. 數神 (talk) 01:46, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- 數神, the reason I asked why they were different was because the article started talking about Markov numbers in bold. I would check the history of the related articles and see who has been editing it the most and is still active. They can help you from there. As far as AFC reviewing, we need to know how the term is notable so we need external news sources, journals, or papers that discuss it and that are not coming from the originating research group. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:41, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF Okay, I guess that was a typo; I am also not sure if the sources I cited were sufficient and high-quality. 數神 (talk) 03:22, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- See WP:IRS and WP:GNG for reliable sources. But like I said, we need sources that discuss the use the term that aren't from the person or group who might have coined the term. Markov chain and Markov process are well known in the community. I just don't know about the constant. There's only one paper so far from E Pelantová that makes use of the term and not much else. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:48, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF Okay, Markov Chain is actually unrelated to Markov constant - they are, in fact, different concepts. As I said before, this new item is related to "Diophantine approximation", and that is not related to Markov chains/processes. Plus, the books that I cited also include the use of the term. Anyway, the amount of available scholarly articles is (slightly) limited, and authors sometimes name this same item differently. Reading through WP:N, I suppose this subject is notable enough. 數神 (talk) 05:18, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

I kind of took part of the "History and motivation" section from the "Definition" section of the article Lagrange number, so there weren't that many references for that exact section. But other than that, are the references in this section okay? I also want to know whether the {{explain}} template is removable now, and if not, how to correct. 數神, the Lord of Math (Prove me wrong; My contributions to the world in numbers) 10:22, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Issues related to my article draft
Hello, I want to address your review on my draft[[18]] that I have tried to write it according to Wikipedia article guidelines, with proper referencing. I think I have added the information relevant to the topic, which is not plagiarized from any article or journal but a thorough research information, in a neutral point of view. I have also read different Wikipedia articles to see the Wikipedia style, they are written in similar manner as I have written my draft. I request you to kindly review and pin point the mistake or short-coming of the draft in particular, as now I have made some changes. Lastly, it needs to be published asap as it is part of my graded assignment. As I am new to Wikipedia, I did not know much how to communicate with you, that is why I am writing you here. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amnakhan28 (talk • contribs) 17:44, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
- Amnakhan28, you need to add a History and development section for the draft, and remove the Conclusion section. This would explain how this work has come about. When did it start? Who popularized it? How has it been adopted by the medical community? Maybe add a Uses section? The Conclusion section reeks of WP:NOTESSAY and should be removed. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:51, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
- Amnakhan28, your grade should not be based on whether the article is published. Have your teacher read WP:INSTRUCTORS If you need it peer-reviewed by people in your class they can do that on the talk page. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:52, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

A kind suggestion
Dear AngusWOOF, thanks for helping me in creating my draft. I have a (minor) suggestion to give you. Personally, I think the message in the template {{Wikipedia:Teahouse/AfC Invitation}} is too "cringey", and does not quite provide the feeling of being soothing. If it were really disappointing to have a draft rejected, saying that "Hello, XXX! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing" honestly doesn't help. I would recommend changing the text to the following:
Hello, AngusWOOF!
I'm sorry that your article submission was declined, because it [''insert the reason of declining in simpler and more politely words'' (e.g. 'did not include enough good sources' rather than 'the sources provided were poor and inadequate')]. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there!

Please reply to me if you think these changes are acceptable. 數神, the Lord of Math (Prove me wrong; My contributions to the world in numbers) 07:02, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

I cited the Tennessee Higher Education Commission and the Association for Biblical Higher Education. The THEC is the regulatory commission for all higher education schools in Tennessee and the ABHE is national accreditor which is approved by CHEA and the USDE.

Hi AngusWOOF , thank a lot for your review. But can you tell me more about the request for "more external news sources and notability to show it isn't yet another light novel"? The light novel now have choose as top ten light novel on Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi - an annual light novel guide book published by Takarajimasha. The guide book publishes a list of the top ten most popular light novels according to readers polled on the Internet and votes from "collaborators" (critics, influencers, and other people related to the light novel industry). An introduction to each of the works comes with each listing, along with an interview of the light novel's author or authors for first place. Many of the light novels that have been listed in this guide book were later adapted into anime series. Thank and kindest regards . Avocatkhan

Hello,
I would like to have a few pointers on how to improve my recent draft for Neil Breen's 2018 film Draft:Twisted Pair (film). I think it might be ready for the mainspace, as it has reliable primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. I've sourced its filming start, wrap up, release date, and reviews, and I would like to know if it has any issues regarding a possible move. Thank you. Cardei012597 (talk) 15:32, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Cardei012597, it looks like you moved it into mainspace. Can you give it a decent summary, assuming you've seen the film, or can make one up based on the premise that isn't a quote from the tagline/trailer. Also explain how it was premiered. Was it screened at a theater, film festival, or released straight-to-video? What was the box office if released in theater? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:05, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
I added a more fleshed out plot. The film played at select theaters, from October 2018-January 2019. The film did not report its box office reciepts. I assume it was free screenings, but I am not positive on that. Cardei012597 (talk) 03:21, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
Also, responding to your tag that reads "This article may contain excessive or inappropriate references to self-published sources", what are the best ways to fix this issue? Should I trim down some reception info or try to find more sources like the one from /Film? The tag just seems a little vague. Cardei012597 (talk) 03:25, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
The plot might need a second editor's review, some peer editing, to make sure it doesn't sound too clunky. To be honest, if it reads clumsily, that because the film's script is rather clunky, so I think I did the best that I could with the plot, films from Neil Breen tend to be confusing or random. Also I'm guessing what you mean from the tag is maybe scrap a review of the film? Or at the very least cut large chunks out of it? I don't want to do anything about it until you clarify what action should satisfy the tag's message. Cardei012597 (talk) 03:56, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- The /film review can go in the reception section. I was thinking if there were any interviews or external news articles that could replace the direct tweets and official site references, that would help get rid of the self-published sources part. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:02, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
I removed the Twitter/Facebook citations and moved the /film review to the reception section. Are there other elements that need to be dealt with in order to satisfy the requirements from the tag? Cardei012597 (talk) 04:16, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Cardei012597, that's good for now. I'll remove the tag. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:18, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
Editing of Datar-Mathews method for real option valuation
AngusWOOF, you were the most recent editor of the subject article (November 16, 2019). I am so confused, I don't quite know where to begin. But let's get started.
To begin with there are two articles that are similar but different. So distinguishing between them: the first is the original article published by Wikipedia in the spring of 2012 entitled "Datar-Mathews method for real option valuation." The second is an minor revision of the original article plus extensive (3 sections) of additional materials containing formulas, graphs and images. The second article I submitted to Wikipedia as a Draft version on or about November 15, 2019. That second article represents about 6 months of work including external reviews by SMEs. Somehow all that new material is gone (deleted?) and replaced by a reproduction of the original article and accompanied by various alerts and warnings.
I don't know what happened. I was attempting to follow Wikipedia protocol in submitting a Draft clearly showing the new material for review by your editors. The imagined the review would correct any formatting errors and perhaps address the table/image sizes and positions within the article. Instead, the new material has entirely disappeared -- and replaced with the original article, but now with alerts and warnings. Here is what I propose:
1. Please recover the entirety of the second article including formulas, graphs and images along with the formatting I had used. 2. Help me correctly format the content of the second article. 3. If there is concern about COI, then of course I will answer any and all questions. However, I assure you there is no COI. 4. Finally, place me in contact with a person or persons with whom I can expeditiously resolve all these issues.
Thank you.

- MathewsSH, please see my reply at Talk:Datar–Mathews method for real option valuation AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:23, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
AngusWOOF, I saw your return comments about my article, and I wrote a detailed response at the site.
Now I am trying to address the COI issue that was raised. I wrote a response to that issue on the site. I would like you (or someone) to respond to my request to remove the COI issue so I can proceed with re-editing the article.
AngusWOOF, I finally saw your comments about COI above, and have answered to COIN as per your request. I guess I am still confused about procedures and protocol here in Wikipedia world. Please put up with me as I struggle through the issues that have been raised - I am simply trying to get these equations and algorithms amended to the original article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MathewsSH (talk • contribs) 22:52, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

- This article is not too technical for most readers to understand
First, thank you for referring the COI issue to COIN. Now let's move on and address the next alert: this article may be "too technical for most readers".
1. The original article (from 2012) was published and no "too technical" alert has ever been raised.
2. The extension (to the original article) that I wrote (and submitted in November 2019) was created in order to help readers better understand the underlying concepts of real options, in particular the Datar-Mathews method, but the real options topic in general. Several subcategories in the article (Data patterns, DM Range Option) are intended to ease the burden of exacting calculations required for typical option valuation. The subcategory DM Option - Algebraic form in particular is intended to reduce the complexity of the related Black-Scholes option valuation, allowing more known variables such as standard deviation to be substituted for the more exotic "volatility factor", the latter of which is not available in business situations.
3. The Black-Scholes model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-Scholes_model) and Black-Scholes equation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-Scholes_equation) are closely related but different from the DM Method. First the Black-Scholes model is intended for option valuation for financial traders, while the DM Method is intended for real option valuation used in business situations. These two methods are somewhat closely related but sufficiently different and sometimes require alternate variables. Furthermore, the Black-Scholes websites are much more complex than that of the DM Method. In fact the original intention of the DM Method article was to put forward a yet simpler implementation of the Black-Scholes formula that would be accessible to a much wider field of general practitioners in business applications (not financial traders).
4. In creating this extension, I relied on (and referenced) the mathematics and methods for Wikipedia sites such as Lognormal distribution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution), Triangular distribution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_distribution), and Conditional Expectation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_expectation) are equally if not more complex, and are particularly aimed to specialists in this field.
5. This DM Method article (the original and the extension) are not to complex for practitioners in this field. In fact, I would argue that is more readable, more easily implemented than alternate real option valuations such as the Black-Scholes. This alert "too technical" should be removed.

- MathewsSH, please discuss the COI issue on the thread at WP:COIN. You need to convince folks there whether the tag can be removed. As for being too technical, that tag should can be discussed at the talk page, where you should check whether the tagging editor is convinced it is clear enough to remove that tag. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:48, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Following your suggestions, I did go the COIN and input my arguments. However, I have not heard back from them and am still waiting. One question I have is how did the "tagging editor" target my article - what was the prompting action? This is especially surprising since the original article was published in 2012 and was never subject to that alert. That original article has been referenced by several other articles in this same technical field. --- I am still confused by all this process for a minor extension to an existing technical article.
MathewsSH (talk) 21:59, 11 December 2019 (UTC)Scott Mathews
- MathewsSH, I can remove the "technical" tag, since I put it on there. The COI tag I would like another editor on COIN to deal with. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:55, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello AngusWOOF, could you help me review Draft:97.7 Record FM. Thanks Jiame Josh (talk) 19:15, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Thomas Nail
Thank you for your feedback on "Draft:Thomas Nail". The article has been rejected twice but no one has told me how to fix the issues. One comment suggests that academics need a "named chair" to be listed, which is clearly no the case for most entries. Another says I need reliable independent sources that are verifiable—but that was what I thought I just added with links to peer reviewed journals, etc. I am super confused. Other entries are way less supported than mine. Can you tell me specifically what I need to do here? Its all so mysterious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RyanHSanborn (talk • contribs) 02:40, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Also: I read the wiki instructions and its pretty clear that the article meets at least one of the academic criteria listed: "The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work – either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates. Reviews of the person's work, published in selective academic publications, can be considered together with ordinary citations here. Differences in typical citation and publication rates and in publication conventions between different academic disciplines should be taken into account.
- I have linked to google scholar and academia.edu to verify this. Thomas Nail has a book, The Figure of the Migrant, cited 285 times (which is a lot for philosophy books). He also fulfills the other named criteria of "unique" contribution that can be verified by reading the linked book review of Theory of the Border- where the reviewer clearly states the original and unique contribution of a whole new conceptual framework. Check it out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RyanHSanborn (talk • contribs) 03:22, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Please read this: I am pasting here the explicit criteria on wikipedia for academic notability and precise how Thomas Nail satisfies this: WP:NACADEMICS: Academics meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable.
- 1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.
- "The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work – either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates. Reviews of the person's work, published in selective academic publications, can be considered together with ordinary citations here. Differences in typical citation and publication rates and in publication conventions between different academic disciplines should be taken into account. To count towards satisfying Criterion 1, citations need to occur in peer-reviewed scholarly publications such as journals or academic books. Publication and citation rates in humanities are generally lower than in sciences. Also, in sciences, most new original research is published in journals and conference proceedings whereas in humanities book publications tend to play a larger role (and are harder to count without access to offline libraries). The meaning of "substantial number of publications" and "high citation rates" is to be interpreted in line with the interpretations used by major research institutions in determining the qualifications for the awarding of tenure."
- Here is how criteria number 1 is verified: a) follow the link "highly cited" to google scholar and see that there are several "highly cited" books and many well cited peer- reviewed articles. b) follow the academia.edu link at the bottom to see that Thomas Nail has over 4,000 followers with a quarter of a million downloads. c) when determining "highly cited" consider 1. that philosophy has much lower citation rates than the sciences, 2. that books are much more important that articles, and 3. that Thomas Nail is a tenured faculty, meaning that he has published enough to be considered to have made an impact in his field. d) view his CV on academia.edu to see the 10 books he has written and over 30 peer reviewed articles and major conferences and full range of interviews.
- Let me know what you think
- Please see WP:NACADEMIC and indicate how this professor meets any of the criteria there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:14, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- In all fairness, the author did cite from WP:NACADEMICS, and did show how the professor met criteria 1. Utopes (talk) 02:27, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Green Gold Gourmet Foods Incorporated
Greetings! My entry Draft: Green Gold Gourmet Foods Incorporated has been nominated for speedy deletion on November 28. It got deleted afterwards but I was able to ask that it be returned to draft stage so I can work more on it. I would like to submit this article once more for evaluation, and if it still does not pass I would greatly appreciate if you could reject it without putting a notice for deletion and inform me instead of what I need to do. I will have to admit I am new to writing articles in Wikipedia. Thanks in advance! CMOnineza (talk) 06:13, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- CMOnineza, you're spending way too much content on the trademark issue. It should be describing the company instead. Otherwise, it's giving a significant impression that it's only notable because it gets itself regularly involved in trademark lawsuits. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 07:47, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Draft: World Tension (Album)
Greetings AngusWoof, I submitted a draft for World Tension (Album) and it was declined due to no reliable sources. However, I used three sources which I believe are reliable:
Las Vegas Weekly has been publishing since 1998 and has its own Wikipedia page. It has been used more than 500 times as a reference on Wikipedia>> https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=lasvegasweekly.com&ns0=1
Metal1.info has been publishing about Metal music since 2002. This magazine has also been used as a reference more than 500 times in Wikipedia>>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=metal1.info&ns0=1 . Metal1.info is an extremely credible and reliable source in the metal genre.
No Echo has been publishing about Metal music since 2005. This Hardcore magazine has also been used a reference more than 500 times in Wikipedia>> https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=100&offset=0&profile=default&search=noecho.net&advancedSearch-current={}&ns0=1
Additionally, one comment left by a review was, "World Tension doesn't even have an article." I provided valid links to credible and reliable sources. One article was written by Carlos Ramirez who has played in the bands Black Army Jacket, Lakota, Hope Collapse, and Deny the Cross. In addition to No Echo, he hosts a weekly show on GimmeRadio.com called Street Ready. Born and raised in Queens, N.Y., Ramirez resides in Los Angeles with his wife and two kids, and is the co-owner of Fascination Street Films, a television production company, which has produced films for Fuse, Discovery Channel, Warner Bros. Records, OWN, AOL, BravoTV, NBCUniversal, Trailer Park, Ignited USA, Universal Music Group and Sony Entertainment. His critique of both the band and album are significant.
The fact that Ramirez has professionally critiqued World Tension is significant in the hardcore band genre. Also, that they are playing at Saint Victus is significant.
Also, sometimes the artist is unique to the art and vice-versa. For example, many people are more aware of Picasso than they are specific pieces of art; The Beatles are also, for many, more popular than their art. Sometimes, the art is the cultural icon and the artist is negligent. Many people are aware of Mona Lisa, the Sistine Chapel, the Eiffel Tower, or even the "Pina Colada" song, but most people cannot name the artist. I bring this up because the album "World Tension" is the discussion. The group was invited to play at Saint Victus because of the album and not who they are. Will they become likewise famous? Time will tell. But for metalheads, the album, the creation, the songs, the lyrics, the music are all important right now and the information is being asked and talked about.
I hope this additional information helps clarify the social impact of World Tension and why this album is significant in the genre.
Thank you for your consideration. Rapprochement (talk) 03:53, 15 December 2019 (UTC)Rapprochement
- Rapprochement, can you add a Reception section with those websites into the article to show that the album has been critically reviewed? Well, not the Pina Colada part, but where you mention that music critic from the particularly notable magazines / sites that meet WP:ALBUMS/SOURCES AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:22, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Request on 01:32:46, 19 December 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Lamtatyan
I tried to open the topic about "Aidealabs", just because there are too few information about this computer software company, hence I would like to start this topic first so as to retain as much information as possible. And I hope people on the other side of the world who also remember this company can help providing more information so as to enrich the record. I have only a pair of hands, and only one head, so my ability is extremely limited. Therefore, I hope I can at least start this topic as a platform, in order to attract more people provide more information about this software company that tried to launch AI technology in 1990's era. Is it a significant topic? Why not??!!! Every bit of information can provide a bit hints for any researchers. In my first submission, you said that I provided too few supportings. Fine. Therefore I took a year to do as much research as possible so that I can satisfy your requirement. But unfortunately, the information about this company is really limited, or maybe even losing due to many reasons. Therefore I need to do as much as I can so as to retain as much information as possible, as I just mentioned. Now you say it is still insignificant and information is not enough (if it is enough, why do I need to start this topic??????). Meanwhile, you Wikipedia let such really insignificant yet not informative enough topics retain in Wikipedia:

Lamtatyan (talk) 01:32, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Lamtatyan, how'd you take a whole year when you created the page and submitted it to AFC yesterday? [19] See WP:ORGCRIT and please indicate what sources go into this company and its detail. You've only provided sources such as Justia Trademark, which shows existence but not notability. You also referred to business directory listings from the State of Texas and a random listing in a non-notable business directory service. All of that is WP:MILL stuff that only proves that the company existed at some time, and not anything about how it is Wikipedia notable. You need some news articles, computer magazines, books, or something that go into the development of the company and its software. If the software is more of a video game, then you can use video game reliable sources as listed on WP:VG/RS. Compare this with other programs such as ELIZA and notice how that program has a number of news articles and journals. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:21, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Feedback on Draft:Pedro Góis
Thank you very much for the feedback on my first submission Draft:Pedro Góis. As you pointed out, it was not clear which notability criteria were fulfilled and I would like to clarify that. According to the WP:NACADEMIC, I believe Pedro Góis fulfills at least one of the criteria mentioned on the page.
- 1- The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources
The scientist wrote over 60 paper in international peer-reviewed journal, of which many where published in high impact journals and have 50+ citations. He wrote comprehensive review articles on his field of expertise which were cited more than 300 times[1][2] and selected as "Highly Cited Papers" by Web of Science (which describes them as papers which "received enough citations to place it in the top 1% of the academic field of Chemistry based on a highly cited threshold for the field and publication year".
- 2- The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.
Pedro Góis received several awards and I would like to highlight the nomination in 2014 as a Emerging Investigator by Chemical Communications of the Royal Society of Chemistry and, at a national level, the Medalha Vicente de Seabra which awards the best portuguese chemist under 40 years old. In fact, at the wikipedia page of the Medalha Vicente de Seabra, there is the mention to Pedro Góis with a broken link, which would be solved with the creation of his page.
- 6- The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society
He was vice-president of the organic division of the Portuguese Chemical Society. While I believe that this alone might not be enough to justify his notority, I also believe that, when considered together with all the aforementioned facts, he is worthy of having an article on wikipedia.
I already re-edited the article to include a couple more references and delete some unimportant awards that could not be referenced. Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Thank you in advance
Jpantonio (talk) 01:18, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
Jpantonio, thanks, I copied your comments over to the talk page of that draft. Maybe another AFC reviewer can take a look. By the way, there was nothing wrong with the formatting for your comment. There was a bug in another user's comments. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:14, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
Jpantonio, Emerging Investigator isn't clear a honor as some of the other ones used for academics. Are there other ones? Also you are referring to articles in other language Wikipedias instead of in English Wikipedia. Can you find the equivalent societies in the English one and show where they say these are the highest honors from that group? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:21, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Fate lead
Hello there AngusWOOF, I remember you accepted the submission for Fate: The Winx Saga, so do you think the draft for its lead actress (Draft:Abigail Cowen) is ready for mainspace? If not I'd like to have any pointers. I expanded the draft with references and there will probably be more in-depth ones as soon as the show comes out. TheFallenPower (talk) 17:42, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- TheFallenPower, it's close but it needs more secondary news sources that give her some detail. Some of the other sources are okay only as proof that she participated in the show (Stranger Things), and not much else. The L'Officiel one is a Q&A interview so that counts as a primary source, but the good thing is that it does show external media sources are covering her career.

New Page Review newsletter December 2019
- Reviewer of the Year
This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

- Redirect autopatrol
A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
- Source Guide Discussion
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
- This month's refresher course
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

My submission for 'Cape God'
Hi!
I recently submitted an article for Allie X's upcoming studio album, Cape God for review. After reviewing it, you declined this submission and gave the following comments:
"Too much reliance on self-published social media, needs more external news sources to review the album."
"Please minimize references to Tweets, replace with interviews or secondary source coverage. Remove Spotify references."
Now, I'll start by saying that I can try to look for secondary sources, however, there might not be much. So far, I found Allie's official Twitter page to be the best source for information about the album, especially its lyrical themes (she always discussed them in a tweet / thread after a single's release). Secondly, you finished your second comment by saying "Remove Spotify references". I use Spotify as my main music service and it allows me to see a song's credits (which is where I got the information from). You seem to be OK with the Apple Music references, however, since I don't use that service, I don't know if a way of seeing credits is possible without having to sign up. If you use Apple Music, could you tell me if there's a way to do that? If there isn't, could you explain why I should remove the Spotify references?
Thanks in advance! EnjoyingMyProblems (talk) 16:02, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- EnjoyingMyProblems, the credits themselves can eventually be cited by the album itself so they don't need to be individually cited to itunes/spotify. Alternatively you can just add a "Source: spotify/itunes (ref)" in the track list header, and have an embedded note to Spotify. As for the Tweets, it would be preferred to have her discuss her album in an interview from secondary source instead of overwhelming the references with self-published Tweets. Also, if there's a way to point out the Billboard references. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:31, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- EnjoyingMyProblems, I've moved the Spotify ones into the embedded notes in the tracklist. But it still has 22 of the 28 references to her own social media. That's way too many to distort the balance of the article. See WP:SELFPUB #5: "the article is not based primarily on such sources." AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:38, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks for helping with the credits! I'll try to look for some more secondary sources, but I'll also keep some tweets. Is that OK?
Once again, thank you. EnjoyingMyProblems (talk) 16:47, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks for helping with the credits! I'll try to look for some more secondary sources, but I'll also keep some tweets. Is that OK?
- EnjoyingMyProblems, yes, that would be helpful. If she has been talking about her album in interviews, those would work better for beefing up her background. I did notice she had a large screen capture posted on the tweet so maybe it's coming from another source, perhaps her website. But I think once the album has been released and has music reviews and charting results, it shouldn't be any problem to get it approved. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:20, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- OK, I started looking for some secondary sources for information on the album and I came across an AMA she did on Reddit on the subreddit r/popheads. I think she confirmed that it's an official AMA on her Twitter account (won't use that as a source). Do you think it's a good idea to use some information from that thread? I was able to find some interesting information on how the album's title was created, for example. EnjoyingMyProblems (talk) 19:06, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- EnjoyingMyProblems, AMA sessions are still Q&A direct self-published sources, so while that would beef up some of the background for the album, it's more important that the album show notability on its own, from the critical reviews and charting. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:39, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi AngusWOOF, I really appreciated your feedback on my first article! I have improved it by adding critical perspective of the production's faults to make it more balanced. Would be great if you could take another look.
BrightVamp (talk) 16:47, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
- BrightVamp, can you add the critic's names into the reviews section, like: "BrightVamp of Wikipedia said that ..." AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:49, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
- BrightVamp, are there comments from critics outside of the Massachusetts area? Trying to see how this can have national coverage. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:38, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi AngusWOOF, one non Massachusetts review is nystagereview.com, which I removed because I wasn't sure it was a notable enough source. https://nystagereview.com/2019/12/15/from-massachusetts-moby-dick-a-nantucket-sleigh-ride-of-an-adventure/ The show is otherwise of national interest because the creators and cast are current Broadway-level folks, and the show is likely intended as an out-of-town tryout for a Broadway transfer, as suggested by one of the reviews. Other evidence of national level interest are the multiple articles covering its development and productions in playbill.com and broadwayworld.com (I can get links later)
It also had a production in New York City at the museum of natural history, which I mention in the article, though I wasn't able to find professional critic's reviews. One by whale scientists is here: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/moby-dick-musical BrightVamp (talk) 19:52, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

- http://www.playbill.com/article/read-reviews-for-world-premiere-of-dave-malloys-moby-dick-musical has a bunch of critic reviews links, including the Bob Verini one https://nystagereview.com/2019/12/15/from-massachusetts-moby-dick-a-nantucket-sleigh-ride-of-an-adventure/ (new york stage review) and Iris Fanger (metrowest, still boston area)

- BrightVamp, I've moved the article into the mainspace, so you can improve it from there. I think beefing up the reception section with the sources provided above would help a lot. Thanks again. Looks promising. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:10, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- BrightVamp, regarding New York Stage Review, seems to be a small publication but Bob Verini has written for Variety magazine, so probably okay to use based on Verini's credentials, and it was linked by Playbill magazine. http://nystagereview.com/about-us/ AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:13, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF, thank you so much for your work on improving this article to being at least starter wikipedia worthy! And those are some excellent links and references, I'll work on incorporating them! I'm learning a lot from your example. Happy new year!

Draft for "List of Epic Games Store free games"
I disagree with your remark that "Wikipedia isn't a catalog / promotions tracker like that." It's the same type as lists for Xbox Games with Gold and Playstation Plus Instant Game Collection games:
- List of Games with Gold games
- List of Instant Game Collection games (PAL region)
- List of Instant Game Collection games (North America)
The list for Epic Games Store gets requested a lot, and there's no permanent and public record of it.
Also, what's wrong with its references? Those are all well-known gaming websites and news sources. And how would you recommend that I fix it? If you're not familiar with gaming or tech websites, perhaps we should get someone else who is familiar with gaming sources to review approval. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HSukePup (talk • contribs) 06:06, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- HSukePup, discuss it at the talk page for the Epic Games Store. You'd also need to show that video game articles are keeping running lists of the entire weekly offering. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 06:09, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- When I was correcting some references on that list, I did come across this running list of weekly game offerings, here: https://progameguides.com/lists/epic-games-store-free-games-list/ - since december 12, 2018. DreamPhreak (talk) 02:14, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Tina Antolini
Many thanks for taking a look at the Draft:Tina Antolini article, much appreciated! I've done some additional tweaks, and hopefully it's a bit better now.
Regarding Wikipedia:THREE, for three sources to show notability, what about these? They aren't published by the subject, or institutions she's worked at, but do contain interview quotes, so perhaps not ideal.

Kj cheetham (talk) 15:29, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- Kj cheetham, the Atlanta one is like 2/3 Q&A so it would be considered primary, so it doesn't say much about her career other than that she became a story producer at Pop-Up. It doesn't go into her past and such. Food and Wine's a little better. It focuses on her work with SFA / Gravy podcasts and mentions her school background briefly. It also lists her age. The Gazette one doesn't detail her life as much as it could, but it makes the Gravy part more notable, and that section should be built up and mentioned in the lead paragraph along with Pop-Up and other major work. I was hoping there would be more like the UMass and Hampshire writeups but not so directly connected from the school. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:28, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- Kj cheetham, also you can discuss some of her awards into the biography section since they are related there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:25, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF I'm assuming the UMass/Hamspire ones are effectively press releases, given she's an alumni. I'll do a quick bit of further online searching in the coming days to see if can find any more actual news articles. Good idea about the awards.

Sir, I have contributed to the article "Mahatma Gandhi Central University protest using my username "Rohitmishra001". But the article was deleted due to copy right issue. Now, I am unable to login using the above mentioned username and getting notification "login token is expired". Thaat's why, I created the same article using my other username "Rohitmishra01" in my own words removing all the copied text from other sources, yesterday intially it was accepted for article for creation after few hours it was declined by mentioning "Article is not written in neutral point of view". Both usernames are of mine. I used the second username to create the page when I was unable to login using my first username. So, could you please help me out ? Thanking you.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mahatma_Gandhi_Central_University_protest --Rohitmishra01 (talk) 05:39, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Rohitmishra01, the main issue with that article is that you have a conflict of interest on it, so it needs to be scrubbed by a neutral editor not connected to the topic. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:44, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
Sir, I request you to go through the link/reference which I have given. If you found anything non-neutral or biased please tell me the way to delete the page. The whole India knows about the "Mahatma Gandhi Central University protest" and why it was happened. Earlier I created the same article using my other username and fortunately it was accepted for the article for creation but some unknown users copied text from references and added in the article that's why the article was deleted due to copy right issue. I didn't get enough time to fix it and afterwards I was unable to login using the same username. I created new username to write the article again and this time I removed everything that was copied and write it in own words. It was declined by mentioning" article needs to be scrubbed". It took almost 3 months to collect the information and references to write the article. If you want to get information about previous same article. I'd love to share it to you. As we know Wikipedia has always been playing a vital role in letting world know about the important things across the globe. Hope this time Wikipedia will include one of the India's largest public universities protest to it's space so the whole world may know about it. Therefore,you are requested to go through any link/ reference if you still found anything non-neutral please let me know the way to delete this article forever. Fortunately, if you don't find anything non-neutral in article please accept it. We'll continue to improve it daily.
Thanking you.--Rohitmishra01 (talk) 07:07, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Rohitmishra01, let me see if someone at WP:COIN can help. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:48, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
Please tell me the way to delete this draft article. "331dot" has sent the previous text as baseline which was accepted as the article for creation, earlier. So, the article would be rewritten in a neutral way. Neutral editor will scrub the article so that it would be published. They will rewrite / unbias the article.
Thanking you--Rohitmishra01 (talk) 14:58, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Rohitmishra01, I see that 331dot deleted the article in the mainspace because it had copyright violations, and then emailed you an earlier reference article. But according to 331dot's talk page, you are requesting that so that YOU can rewrite the article. That's not a neutral editor. Who are you getting to scrub the article?

T. Rafael Cimino
Hello AngusWoof,
We are a Public Relations agency that represents actors/actresses. This gentleman created a Wikipedia page for himself and falsified shows/movies that he worked on that he did not. I edited the page to remove the inaccurate details, but he keeps undoing my edits. None of the sources he has provided proves that his information is valid. Please advise how to fix this so he cannot keep adding false information/information without a source, which goes against the guidelines of Wikipedia.

- TPRINC, If it's unsourced or poorly sourced (goodreads, IMDb), you can delete it, but ensure in your comments that this is the correction you are doing. If it's decently sourced, as with The Black Dahlia entry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VKRC82Jim0 that shows him as Executive Producer credit, you can leave those parts alone. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:28, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi AngusWOOF,
Thanks for your help, I will change my name immediately. That Youtube link to The Black Dahlia film, if you watch the trailer, it does not list him as Executive Producer. He posted the trailer on his personal Youtube channel and his name is nowhere in the trailer. He simply added his name in the description of the video.
- TPRINC, oh, I see it's a YouTube account that pretends to be Lion's Gate. Nevermind. Yes, you can remove those. It's different if it were a reliable source from the actual Lion's Gate. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:39, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi AngusWoof,
Thank you for your help. I have deleted the inaccurate and false information twice, but he keeps going on his page and undoing my changes. How do I prevent this from happening?
TPRINC (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:42, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- You can try a discussion at the talk page. If he reverts too many times, we can warn him for edit warring / vandalism. As an aside, Is there a better source for the Miami Vice and other show credits? I don't see his name in the closing credits for the show episodes, so I need a source to confirm his crew role as a Marine Director or Marine Coordinator. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:09, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
