12:50:04, 3 November 2017 review of submission by Phoenixqueen
edit- Phoenixqueen (talk · contribs)
I wrote an article about a subject Miss saHHara. But recently, someone had the article's title and the subject name changed by moving the article to a new link. I corrected the name changes and supplied references from the subject. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Miss_Sahhara&oldid=808434493 The person changed the title text from 'Miss saHHara' to 'Miss Sahhara'. Unfortunately, that is not how her public name is spelt. Can you undo the changes this person made please. Below is her website where she stated how her name is spelt and BBC did referenced it too. She uses her stage name 'Miss saHHara' only because of the death threats she gets from Nigerians. It is stated and referenced why she keeps her legal names private in the article. I couldnt undo the edit since I am not yet an 'Autoconfirmed User'.
I hope you can help. Thank you in advance. Regards.
Below are the links and references to the right spelling of Miss saHHara's names. http://www.misssahhara.com/disclaimer/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-africa-36168661/trans-woman-i-left-nigeria-to-save-my-life

- @Phoenixqueen: Hello, Phoenixqueen. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. The titling of an article is oftentimes something that needs to be discussed and debated amongst editors who hold different viewpoints. Your best course of action right now is to engage in discussion with the person who moved the article to its new name, specifically asking which portion of WP:TITLE they are invoking in moving it to that new name. You can have that discussion on that person's Talk page, but it is better to have it on the Talk page of the affected article, where the results will be visible to future editors of the article. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk)
- @NewYorkActuary: Thank you so much for the prompt reply. The person who made this changes quoted your Carmel case guideline.
But the guideline allows this type of spelling. So it is a bit confusing. The person said I should 'It is a Wikipedia guideline to avoid the use of Camel Case, so your presentation is not acceptable. 'But the carmel case in this case seem to be accepted from the quote below gotten from the Camel Case page:' In the case of this exception, rephrase to avoid beginning sentences with such trademarks: avoid: eBay is where he bought his iPod. instead, use: He bought his iPod on eBay.' You read it on here: Camel Case. Since the subject I am writing about is a transgender woman and she identifies as 'Miss saHHara'. Should the way the person identifies not be important in the spelling? Please help to revert it back if you can. Thank you again. Phoenixqueen (talk) 14:48, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Phoenixqueen: The above is exactly the discussion you need to be having on the draft's talk page. Further discussion here on this help page is unlikely to resolve the dispute. If I were you, I would concentrate on getting the draft accepted with any reasonable spelling variation for the title. The title can be changed just as easily once that article has been accepted than before. If you put a lot of energy into this discussion now, you may find yourself starting all over again once the article is published and more editors have an opportunity to review it an further improve it. ~Kvng (talk) 17:34, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

The draft I submitted for review was declined, due to it seemingly being promotional/biased. I would like to request that someone help me understand which sections seem promotional - because it seems to me that the article is simply factual - and/or that I get assistance making the article sound more unbiased.

- @Malemseged: The draft contains a lot of unsourced material and reads like a resume. The best thing you can do to improve the draft at this time is to delete unsourced material and make sure that everything that remains is verifyable through WP:RELIABLE or at least WP:INDEPENDENT sources. ~Kvng (talk) 21:29, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Kvng: Thank you for your advice! This will certainly be useful in my revisions. Malemseged (talk) 22:39, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
