You are correct to have failed Draft:Angela Kelly (photographer) as a reviewer
editAnd please keep eyes on. It's actually an interesting subject, but I have a hunch this author is a student or other supporter because the language is so positive. Reviewers are encouraged to give both negative and positive feedback (although time frequently being an issue, I can understand why this is sometimes lost). BusterD (talk) 20:22, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @BusterD, thanks for your feedback. I've only been working on AfC for a day or two (after being granted the tools, I'm currently in probation). I looked at the article for a while before deciding to decline it because it was too promotional. Sorry for the CSD though, I was asking at Wikipedia IRC about it and someone suggested that if I couldn't find any notable coverage then I should go ahead, but I didn't think smart enough about it. To be honest, I think the draft could be improved (when not thinking about CSD'ing ) but it will take a while.
- I should try to accept more drafts to be created (currently did none so far) but I'm still trying to get a good understanding of how this all works before I do something big. I'll try my best to give more feedback, as you mentioned, to declined drafts so they can be improved. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 20:41, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Making mistakes along the way is expected, especially for a new reviewer. I get sentimental and occasionally "fall in love" with a subject, making it hard for me to be objective. Don't get in a hurry, but don't take too much time on a single review either. You just have to do a bunch until you find your own sweet spot. Enjoy the newness; it wears off. Thanks for your many contributions, Myrealnamm. Don't be shy about flagging down another admin or senior editor if you need tips or encouragment. We all goof up (hopefully not on the front page).

Barnstar
editThe Original Barnstar | ||
Didn't find a barnstar for teamwork, but for your work with CSD and UAA! I feel like work in these areas deserves some recognition. 😊 see you around! SPF121188 (talk this way) (my edits) 17:07, 11 July 2024 (UTC) |
- Thanks for that, much appreciated 😁. My first Original Barnstar, previous ones for Anti-Vandalism. Also appreciate your work at UAA!
- Oh, thanks for adding the title here. "You beat me on this one"!
- Cheers, Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 17:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Now and then I forget to click "preview" with these... 🤦♂️ LOL cheers back at you, see you around! SPF121188 (talk this way) (my edits) 17:12, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Spf121188 Thanks! Btw, there is a teamwork barnstar (Template:The Teamwork Barnstar) but I personally prefer using the Heart icon at the top of the page, next to View History to send WikiLoves. Laters! Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 17:14, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- You just taught me something new LOL thanks! Had no idea that heart at the top had a function! SPF121188 (talk this way) (my edits) 17:16, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Trouted
editWhack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
You have been trouted for: literally no reason at all M7md1612 (talk) 14:44, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ok😁 Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 14:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- That can smart! BusterD (talk) 23:33, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
Request for a Review
editHi,
@Myrealnamm, thank you for reviewing my biography article earlier and leaving a helpful feedback for me. I want to ask that you revisit it and review it again, since I have rewritten it to meet the required standard.
Thank you. Stephenranks (talk) 17:32, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Stephenranks, thanks for improving your draft. I've been busy the past few days, so sorry for the late response. It seems like another reviewer handled it. If you still need any help, you could ask someone else or the teahouse as I'm pretty busy these days. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 15:40, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Redirects
editHi, I'm an admin that's been making my way through the NPP queue. I'm not sure we've met before? Anyways, I noticed that you recently created a bunch of redirects like Iphoen 8. I noticed that you approved these through AfC instead of creating them unilaterally but I figured I should let you know that I have deleted these under the WP:R3 speedy deletion criteria. If you think that a page is likely to be deleted, please do not approve it through AfC. You're not in trouble or anything, I just wanted to make sure you knew this for the future. Thanks. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 23:58, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Clovermoss, thank you for the notice. I was not aware about this and thank you for letting me know, I will remember in the future. I apologize for the R3 redirects that I created.
- I've seen you through a handful of namespaces a lot but I don't think we have contacted each other before. Thanks!😅 Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 21:40, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Forgot to mention, thank you for reviewing the valid redirects. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 21:44, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

PRODs
editHello, Myrealnamm,
If an editor removes a PROD tag, for a good or bad reason or no reason at all, you can't put it back on the article. The next step is WP:AFD. Liz Read! Talk! 18:41, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Liz Thanks, I was not aware. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 00:24, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also, thanks for restoring the redirect. I did not look carefully at the PROD template. Sorry about that. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 00:26, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
