Timtrent
Hello Timtrent, with regards to your reply to my discuss on Celestina007's talkpage, you seems to get me very wrong. I really know Wikipedia's not a place for political campaigning or personal promotions whatsoever. And it may interest you that I never put nor collect a single dime at creating WP:Article Mohammed Aminu Baka. In fact, the person subjected in the article is in no way related to me to have seen that as a key to promoting him. I love Wikipedia and I fancy contributing worthy articles with notable subjects to it. The article has excellently complied with Wikipedia rules and policies and well-sourced. Please don't discourage me in my bid to be a contributor as you and everyone else. Please, just kindly help to improve it. I even added it as a {{Nigeria-bio-stub}}.

come from? All editors are equal, whether it is day one or their 20th year. Please read WP:YFA. If, as you sayThe article has excellently complied with Wikipedia rules and policies and well-sourced.
then I would not have opined that it should be deleted, because that would have been foolish of me. - For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this article a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.

AfC Reviews
Hi, regarding latest actions taken by a somewhat overzealous admin here I will until further notice no further review AfC Drafts. Obviously this admin thinks that I do not have sufficient knowledge to do so. Just to let you know. CommanderWaterford (talk) 06:58, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

I hope my advice on your own talk page is helpful and that we see you back reviewing at full power soon FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 07:09, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

I love this project, I love reviewing, I love creating but my love goes not so far that I am wasting my life time in order to get punched in the face every couple of days and later wasting even more inconceivably valuable life time convincing people of my work.

- @Guy Macon regrettable, but sadly inevitable once they antagonised all possible folk who might have supported them. I can't quite work out whether CW qualifies for WP:SO at some point in the future. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 15:29, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
- Per WP:UNBAN, if the community imposes a ban then the community (not just an admin) must decide whether to lift it. Normally to have any hope of being unblocked CW would have to make a convincing case that they now understand what they did wrong and a plan as to how they will avoid repeating the behavior, but CW already had a block lifted after promising to do better and then went right back to the bad behavior. A second second chance is unlikely. --Guy Macon (talk) 16:25, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Guy Macon I have a sad but strong feeling that your prediction is correct. I have often had to swallow a retort when imteracting with them. I suspect English is not their native tongue, and nuances of behaviour in English may be lost on them for that or other unguessable reasons. It annoys me when an otherwise useful editor insists on Wikisuicide by ANI. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 17:06, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Reviewed draft
Hello Fiddle/Tim: you reviewed Draft:Mercedes-Benz MB800 back in February, a draft not made by me and of a not very high standard. I created a new, amply sourced article for the Mercedes-Benz MB700 which includes the MB800 (a facelifted MB700). I would like Mercedes-Benz MB800 to become a redirect but I am unsure as to whether I need to somehow close and remove the draft first? Thanks, Mr.choppers | ✎ 12:05, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Noting the similarity of your surnames and the fact that you have stated that he is an ancestor yours it is wise though not mandatory for you to avoid edits to it now it is an article. COI is construed broadly. That this chap died when you were a year old probably means there is no COI, but I would hate you to be accused when there is no reason.

Question about submission
Hi Timtrent. Thanks for reviewing my submission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Alishka93/FlippingBook. I’d be very glad if you can help me to clarify what is wrong, and I can edit the article. While creating this page, I was looking at these articles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Issuu and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_Issue because they are also about digital publishing software. Can you please give me examples of what exactly is incorrect in my text? Also, you've mentioned that the text should refer to independent reliable sources. I've added links to articles on Forbes, Inc, and MarTech Series. Are they not reliable sources? Please assist me with this. I just want to understand and correct the article. --Alishka93 (talk) 07:26, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Alishka93 please read WP:SPEAKSELF to see what the dreaft itself lacks. Then read WP:NOTDIRECTORY I am no6t at all sure that the articles you mention are valid here, either, will study them and may suggest their deletion.

Thanks for your comments on this. I've addressed your concerns. Pha telegrapher (talk) 12:11, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Pha telegrapher much better, Even so "history of the organization.[1][2] [3] [4]" is a prime example of WP:CITEKILL. Instead we need one excellent reference per fact asserted. If you are sure it is beneficial, two, and at an absolute maximum, three. A fact you assert, once verified in a reliable source, is verified. More is gilding the lily. Please choose the very best in each case of multiple referencing for a single point and either drop or repurpose the remainder. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 12:24, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Ford F-150 Lightning
Hey Timtrent. I tried to work the platform generation info into the distinguishing info on the Ford F-150 Lightning disambig page, as you suggested. It's useful info for disambiguation...; but I fear that the long descriptive stuff I've got there now may run afoul of the disambig page experts who, I believe, like a lot less info. YMMV. But I would appreciate it if you would look it over, and actually tweak anything you think would make it better, or more succinct. Cheers. N2e (talk) 11:30, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

I actually created the initial section (Combatting and suppression techniques) within Fake News. My plan was to leave this as a summary section, and have a link to an expanded new page, as this is an important topic (and similar to some other sections in Fake News). I presume my new page is premature as it currently has the same content as the initial section in Fake News.

- @Kookaburra17: I see and understand your plan. For now, thiough, why not incorporate your work into the existing article? Make sure it is well referenced.
- We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.

Hi Timtrent! Creating an article sure is hard and makes me feel lost at the same time. One of the reviewers thinks I might be involved in paid editing (which I'm not) and tells me not to further edit the article until I answer the message. I have answered already and no other feedback so far. Do you know if there's anything else I can do at the moment? Thank you. Goodlug (talk) 07:10, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Goodlug You need to place your answer as a direct reply to the question on your talk page where all can see it. The question and the answer are each to be taken at face value. They are wholly entitled to ask. Asking creates no stain on your character. Answering honesty and simply is important. We take a declaration of not being paid to edit at face value. We assume good faith. Something along the lines of "Thank you for your question. I declare that I am not a paid editor. I have read the question with care."
- Be aware that we construe paid editing broadly, and answer with precision. If you have the smallest business relationship of any description (except as a pure customer) then our rules may interpret you to be paid.
- None of what I have said implies that you are paid, because you have said to me that you are not.
- Once you make the simple declaration in reply to that message you are free to continue to edit in whatever way you choose. Generally there is no feedback.

:Articles for deletion/Asom Barta
You mentioned that all three references in "Asom Barta" article are primary sources and two are press releases. I removed two references from there and added two newspaper registration number references in there with an press release reference. The Asom Barta newspaper published from Majuli, Assam in Assamese language. The newspaper registered with Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) and also verified with Office of Registrar of Newspaper For India (RNI). MSME registration number is UDYAM-AS-31-0000103 & RNI verification number is ASSASS01389. These references not include in this article before.

Hello
I have an issue. I have working on the article for months pervious issues never mention citation only the last 2 months. And I agree I had issued with no placing thr citation. I have now but still there is a issues.
The page says rejected but userplotterof has stated that this would have failed the deletion process. But I can't seem to edit or resubmit it.
I have placed articles written online based in Pakistan and the US, UK. Website such as the guarding, legal 500 and still that seems to have cause a rift.
Please sir if you can simple Google the person and see the articles I have listed. I don't know what more a notable person can count? She has wrote numerous of books and is the youngest women arabitor appointment as cited ? Please if you can review and help me.
Thank you. Njinfo10109 (talk) 18:15, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Njinfo10109 I'm not really sure what you hope I can achieve. @Hatchens has rejected the draft, and they need to be approached to see if they will reconsider. You tell me that citations were not mentioned until two months ago, but the review in 2020 mentions them explicitly. The subject of the article seems to me to be WP:ROTM. My son is an arbitrator and more besides, but I would be shocked if anyone suggested he was worthy of an article here, because he just does his job. So, it seems, does Mahnaz Malik.
- Does the authorship qualify? Wikipedia:NAUTHOR will tell you. Discover how Malik passes that set of criteria, and present that to Hatchens and they are likely to change their mind if convinced
- Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles.

Hello Thank you. I'm just surprised. I appreciate your son is an arbitrator but the notability comes from Mahnaz Malik being the youngest ever arbitrator appointed by the World Bank! It also comes from her winning the UK Financial Times of the Year Award. That's beyond just a job.
Also, I do not understand how the author of several books two of them published by Oxford University press is not notable. All sources are not self published but of third party sources and news.
Further she's been noted as a leading children's writer in other Wikipedia entries?
My question is what I do? It seems quite unfair that someone can reject on whimsical grounds.
Thanks Njinfo10109 (talk) 13:59, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
As stated, Mahnaz Malik is cited by articles in wikipedia as well. Linked under.
And the user user @Plotterof has agreed that this would have failed the deletion process and should have not even been placed in it.

Question @Timtrent : which are the unverifiable contents ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Micheldekemmeter1 (talk • contribs) 15:08, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Micheldekemmeter1 the answer is anything unsupported by a reference in a reliable source.
- We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.
- You have a major conflict of interest with Draft:Club of brussels since I assume you are one of the founders. You must read Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure and perform that disclosure FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 18:04, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I’m at a loss to know what more I need to add about John Davies to demonstrate his notability. My Wiki draft already indicates that he has had six collections published by one of the UK’s leading independent publishers, and has achieved two major poetry prizes. I’ve also listed in my draft the journals and anthologies in which his poems have been published. He’s also edited three anthologies. Davies is thus noteable for both the range and the quality of his poetic output.
This has been recognised, as I mention, by his inclusion in the Oxford Companion to the the Literature of Wales and in Shaffer’s classic published by Cambridge University Press. Neither of these are “passing mentions” and both are reliable professorial sources independent of the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moonbread (talk • contribs) 12:37, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Dear Timtrent,
Re your review of my article [[Draft:Raghu Kilambi|Raghu Kilambi|]: the reason notability was no longer clear in the version you’d reviewed is because someone named Novem Linguae deleted an entire section with several very high profile mainstream sources.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Raghu_Kilambi&oldid=1029963290 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Raghu_Kilambi&diff=1029980217&oldid=1029963290
He did warn that this might change Kilambi’s “notability”, so I read the policy Wikipedia:Notability and it seems clear that Kilambi meets it, or did before the PowerTap section was deleted:
“A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline
Note in the deleted section multiple references to Forbes, Car and Driver, plus Globe and Mail in the preceding section – exactly what most of us would view as “reliable independent sources,” inasmuch as any media outlet ever is, and each with “significant coverage”, not just offhand mentions. None of them are based upon press releases or the like, except one third party article which is covering a press release by Andretti group and isn’t particularly central to the discussion.
Novem Linguae explained that he deleted the section because he felt it was too “promotional”, meaning I suppose that most of the sources were positive to boosterish in nature. I certainly agree that the media should approach things, especially things having to do with climate change, more skeptically then they often do. They – especially this Macgill fellow – clearly like Kilambi because “ooh aah, clean hydrogen power, cool!” I wasn’t looking for only positive stuff, but I couldn’t find any controversies or criticisms of Kilambi or PowerTap. I did try to be neutral about it by attributing assertions and projections to those who made them (“According to Kilambi” etc.) rather than repeating them as facts. Is PowerTap really going to take off? Heck if I know. But what was there prior to deletion is pretty much exactly what the sources say, as you can easily verify for yourself.
It was certainly interesting to me, following up on another RHOT star (this was a big deal in Canada) to discover that he is now involved in this kind of thing, and that this looks to be one of the reasons for his divorce from fellow RHOT star Roxy Earle. However, again, none of this was visible in the version which you reviewed. I would like to appeal this decision on the ground that the version you reviewed was not the draft as it was submitted.Sequel part III (talk) 08:12, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Environmental Conservation
I am not sure what additional you are asking for when you say that “ This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. “ could you explain more fully what we are missing here?
We understand that there is a specific Wiki project to add reputable peer-reviewed journals like ours to Wikipedia (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Academic_Journals).
The journal issues are hosted by Cambridge University Press, our current publisher, archived at https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/environmental-conservation/all-issues with all content from issue 1 in 1974 onwards (referenced as the official site) = 46 years of publication of academic articles and international secondary citation by many researchers in many other journals. Readers can view such referencing activity by consulting the metrics on the publishers website. What do you mean by “significant coverage of the subject”?
So, we are a bit puzzled and need your guidance as to what the problem is, especially as we see many other journals have a similar wiki entries. What is it precisely about this journal entry that is not acceptable as a “subject” when other journals are acceptable subjects? Belleab31 (talk) 08:12, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Help needed on improving an article
Hello Timtrent,
Thank you for your review of the Mentora Gymnasium article! My name is Simona and I am the one who created it.
I see that you are an experienced editor and so I would like to ask for additional feedback on how I can get the abovementioned article to meet the qualifications to be live. I hope this is alright with you.
I have read a lot of the information you listed in your review and more. Still, I have some questions I hope you can help me get the answers to. Specifically, will the following changes improve the chances of the article going live?
- Removing the information for which there are no published, reliable, independent sources. (i.e. the license mention)
- Adding the information that it is a non-profit institution (this reduces the notability criterion?)
- Keeping only one of the three school portrait sources so it does not look like just passing mentions (i.e. the Berlin.de domain which is the official website of Berlin)
Please take into consideration that I am still new to Wikipedia editing and I am very sorry if this is the wrong approach. Any feedback you have for me is greatly appreciated!
Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.

Please help with the article Draft: Padma Rao Sundarji
Hi! Need your expert help with my draft Draft: Padma Rao Sundarji. With your feedback, I have removed a part of my write up which may have seemed like poor sourcing. The subject of this article meets the notability criteria as she has written a book about the thirty year long civil war of Srilanka. The details of the book (for published, primary & reliable sources) as well as the book reviews (for secondary sources) have been cited. She has also co-authored for other publications (details of which are also mentioned as references). She has been a recognised international journalist who has worked for various reputed news organisations. Her work is mentioned in the external links & brief write up about her are available on the official websites of the news organisations - they have been quoted as references as well (can these be considered as third party sources?). Also cited are sources of the news media articles which talk about the person herself and they are not passing mentions (these sources are independent of the subject, as per my understanding). A live help volunteer had mentioned that a personal interview by a recognised news media with a verified youtube channel will be accepted as a primary source. I can provide the same if required. There have been a lot of changes made to the write up since the time the previous comments and feedback have been provided. I am really trying my hardest to learn and ensure that I do not go wrong again. Requesting your expert advise in making the necessary changes & help in moving the article to mainspace please! Please do let me know if my modified article now is good enough, and if not, request you to point out to me exactly as to what needs to be changed. Thanks in advance!ShravanthiRK (talk) 18:07, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- @ShravanthiRK She has to pass Wikipedia:NAUTHOR and it is my belief is that she does not. Primary sources are interesting. Let me explain what it is we need in terms of sourcing:
- For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.
- Make sure you read the WP:PRIMARY element. a Primary Source may only verify a simple fact. It does nothing to verify notability in a Wikipedia sense.
- Your article is a list of things. You say "She worked for A, B, C... H, I, J, etc." That is nothing except a list of employers. I used to work for several; large corporations, sometimes in senr=ior positions, but I do not deserve a Wikipedia article. I. too, have written a book, but I do not, nor does it, deserve an article.
- Read, please, this essay. It shows you how to select facts form references and write the best draft you can. This may mean starting form the ground up. If it does please embrace the task and do it well FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 19:43, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hi FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me, I must admit that I have faced a lot of challenges in the past without having a detailed feedback from the Wiki volunteers, which limited my understanding of what was expected. But I really appreciate you taking time to reply to my request in detail. Heartfelt thanks, sir!
- Honestly, I had mentioned in detail her achievements as a journalist, all the noteworthy articles she had written and the famous personalities she was chosen to interview. However, I had to remove them as the only sources I had for them were the published work (articles she wrote) themselves, which, I believe would not be considered as valid sources (please correct me if I am wrong here). So I kept removing parts of the write-up and it came down to just mentioning the names of the reputed organizations she worked for. But now that you point it out, I will try to look for other sources which can improve the Career section of the article.
- If I may bother you a little more, would this link be considered a significant coverage and accepted as a valid source: https://www.asianage.com/opinion/oped/200818/the-vajpayee-i-knew-was-a-hardcore-feminist-too.html? This is an article published by Asian Age News media.
- Also, if I decide to bring down the article and start again completely like a brand new draft, should I request for a deletion of this article or is there any other procedure? Please don’t get me wrong but the decline messages on the draft are quite demotivating to improve the same article :) I mean, I still want to put in my best efforts to contribute to wiki & not give up, however, I am only wondering if it probably helps to start afresh completely!?
- Thank you once again! Gratitude! ShravanthiRK (talk) 05:59, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- @ShravanthiRK You can perform a rewrite im the draft itself is you think that to be the correct route. There is no procedure. You may prefer a clean break, and could request deletion if you prefer. Placing {{Db-u1}} at the head of the draft will request its speedy deletion. IT will mean that there is then no review history. This is your choice.
- Now, the source. It is written by her so simply says that she writes articles. We only care what reliable sources say about her. Let me try to explain. If they manufactured vacuum cleaners, the cleaners would be their work. A vacuum cleaner could not be a reference for them, simply because it is the product they make. So it is with research, writings, etc. However, a review of their work by others tends to be a review of them and their methods, so is a reference.

- Hi FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me, I am really sorry to bother you again. I have been looking for sources that have a significant coverage of the person I am writing about. A book review published on 29th Feb 2016 by 'Ceylon Today' newspaper (a Srilankan News Print media) has a good write up covering Padma Rao, her professional association with reputed organisations, her interviews with famous personalities and also her journey of writing the book. It is quite a detailed write-up. However, this article is not available online but exists as print media. So, will this reference be considered as valid source to establish the notability of the person? Requesting your help! Thanks a lot in advance! :) ShravanthiRK (talk) 16:55, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

You are correct in pointing out the need for proper references in my draft article on Seamus Woods. The templates are a great help. Thanks very much. Palisades1 (talk) 00:36, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi, i just saw the this article has been considered for deletion. Please help me save it. Iv have added recently a few notable links in the references. please tell me what can i do better?

- @Shneororel The almost hardest task on Wikipedia is to create a new article. The actual hardest task is to write your autobiography. It is almost impossible for any of us to stand far enough away from ourselves to be neutral, dispassionate, and genuinely not to care whether our life merits an article or not.
- Your task is harder because your chosen genre is hard to pass Wikipedia:NMUSICIAN in.
- You need to do two things, potentially a third.
- First, be sure you pass those tough criteria (with references showing that you do)
- Second, make sure the article reflects that you pass the criteria
- Third, if you have done the second, state clearly at the deletion discussion that you have changed the article to show a clear pass of the criteria. State your case simply, and absolutely without passion. State it quietly.
- The article has been back and fort between Draft: and Maim spaces. I would have put it back into draft for you to work, but you keep moving it from Draft: to be an article even though it does not, currently, pass (in my opinion). Since I was no longer entitled to move it back to Draft (See Wikipedia:DRAFTIFY) I was pretty much mandated to ask that it be discussed for deletion. Doing anything see would have either been move warring, or ignoring a problem. I could not ignore a problem.
- I have looked at all the references. I can see that they are indicative of a bright future, but none of them talks about you usefully.
- For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 20:01, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Timtrent Thank you so much for your help. i didn't make it on purpose (moving from draft etc...)
i am new in wikipedia. Is it possible to remove the deletion like this we can move it to draft and leave it there until i do the things that you told me to do. thanks in advance — Preceding — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shneororel (talk • contribs) 13:45, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Shneororel Since another editor has offered an opinion that it should be deleted, what you need to do is offer your own opinion there. I am technically unable now to withdraw any nomination. Place your comment almost exactly as you have done in the paragraph above. I will not stand in your way FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 21:30, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello Timtrent
Awesome, thanks so much for your speedy & helpful responses! A big learning curve for me. Have done the move & can view on Google, fingers crossed I did it all correctly.
The article on Shravan Sampath
Hello Tim,
This is Rajesh, and I have published the article on Shravan Sampath. Your feedback is well taken. I have made necessary changes and only provided references to articles written by Shravan, where his projects are specifically mentioned, and his contributions to renewable energy sector in the country is clearly mentioned. The references are from high quality Indian business dailies such as Business Standard, Financial Express, Financial Chronicle, The Times of India, the Tribune, and so on. I would look forward to your perusal of the changes made and your favourable response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajeshkmr1234 (talk • contribs) 06:12, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Rajeshkmr1234 I have taken the unusual step for me of re-reviewing the draft, and left a detailed rationale. I will not make a third review. Other eyes are better next time FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 06:24, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
Thanks very much for your feedback Tim. As per your review and feedback, the references have been changed suitably. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.176.184.171 (talk) 09:04, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
Sorry I offended you
I appreciate your feedback, and to clarify: I'm not trying to be snarky. But you were right to point out I'm irritated. Because I am trying to work within Wikipedia standards and have revised the article multiple times in order to adhere to them. My response was legitimately honest and not meant as sarcasm on every point I made: there are multiple citations from verifiable, secondary, trustworthy sources. And I'm leaving this comment here not because I hope you'll accept my argument. But because otherwise I'm just taking what you say and agreeing with your rationale when I don't do that. It is 100% valid what you say about not wanting pages immediately deleted, plus pretty much every other feedback I've received during this process tonight. But that doesn't change that I disagree with it. To me it seems more like I submitted the page wrong the first way, and had I not done that, it wouldn't have been as easily subjected to numerous rejections afterward. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheresaVonDoom (talk • contribs) 08:55, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- @TheresaVonDoom 99% of folk's first submissions are incorrect, and that is absolutely fine. Reviewers have individual, sometimes different, opinions. That is fine, too. It's important that this is an iterative process, and important that different eyes view things.
- The problem is that a journalist's work itself does not make them notable. What makes them notable its what others say ''about them and their work''. If you are confident that the draft is as good as you can make it in that regard then I hope the next reviewer accepts it. He does appear to be notable.
- I wish you genuine good luck FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 09:12, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

- @Timtrent �I am a staff member and have made sure to inform Wikipedia of that status when creating the article (writing about something you're attached to etc.) we have provided various references, none of which come from 'in-house' articles either.
