November Articles for creation backlog drive

 

Hello Rich Smith:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

292 and 295

Okay. You tagged the blocking redirect. It's yours. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:50, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Re:Appearances and goals by club, season and competition

I took a look, and it turns out that the accepted article is almost an exact copy and paste of the version that was repeatedly deleted. The only new info added is the "Appearances and goals by club, season and competition" section, which i'm honestly uncertain about since I do not see anything in there per se that justifies an article, but I'm not familiar enough with sports notability guidelines to make a fair ruling on that matter. All the same, I'd be hesitant to drop the protection unless it was demonstrated via consensus that the new version is superior to the previously deleted versions. For you convenience, a rough copy of the previous deleted version appears below. TomStar81 (Talk) 07:38, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Draft:6B23

Hello and thank you for looking at my article. The Little Green men is a reference to Little green men. But I can change the description to russian troops if you insist. F.Alexsandr (talk) 17:59, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

@F.Alexsandr: Ah, that makes much more sense... I would Wikilink the text to that article :) - RichT|C|E-Mail 19:47, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

AFC for Tactical Assault Group

Hello, I request your attention at Draft:Tactical Assault Group (game) which you declined stating it was not improved since the last decline. I discussed this first at the AfC talk page, and was instructed to resubmit this way. After the last decline, I asked the reviewer the reason since the draft appears to now clearly meet WP:GNG. They responded here that they reconsidered after re-looking at it and I should resubmit the draft as-is. Thank you. Airborne84 (talk) 16:07, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

@Airborne84: Thanks for letting me know. It would be helpful in future for a comment to be left on the draft mentioning this, as I'm not going to go looking on the AfC Help Desk nor previous reviewers talk pages looking for comments, I'm going to look at the draft as given. In this instance, I will revert the review - RichT|C|E-Mail 16:51, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
Will do. Thanks! Airborne84 (talk) 00:46, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

I added the form on Wikipedia:Files for upload can you kindly upload it for me now? NihonKofee (talk) 16:25, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

@NihonKofee: Single word answers are not acceptable as it forms a legal bases to use the file under fair-use. Please have a look at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples and modify accordingly. Do not copy and paste from the examples, use your own words - RichT|C|E-Mail 01:28, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
