@Pun89:, Hello Pun89, if you're looking for help from editors with expertise on things like cold waves, I'd connect with the good folks over at WikiProject Weather. There you can ask a question on their talk page about help with drafts.🌀Locomotive207-talk🌀 14:52, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-01-28T14:52:00.000Z","author":"Locomotive207","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Locomotive207-2022-01-28T14:52:00.000Z-Pun89-2022-01-28T08:05:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

How can i submit a draft ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pun89 (talk • contribs) 19:13, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-01-28T19:13:00.000Z","author":"Pun89","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Pun89-2022-01-28T19:13:00.000Z-A_message_from_Pun89","replies":[]}}-->

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

• AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
• The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

  • Draft:Jerry DeCicca (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Thanks for the feedback! Could you kindly tell me, specifically, where sources are lacking? There are currently 13 footnotes in the article, and all of the other sources link back to Wikipedia itself.

I also just read through this draft twice and the only tumblr link I see is Dusted, which is a legitimate New York-based webzine founded in 2002. As of 2021, the site boasts a revenue of $16M, and employs 71 people.

As for notability: again, most of the links are to Wikipedia pages. The subject of this article is the author of a song with over half a million plays on Spotify and who has been profiled in every major music outlet, including Pitchfork, NPR, and Stereogum.

While I have you: is it possible to amend the title of the article to include the artist’s middle name? This is his professional name, the one that appears on his published works. Omitting it was an oversight on my part.

Thanks again!

@Howard Bleach:, Thanks for reaching out. Yes, there is sourcing lacking in certain portions of your draft. Especially sections like Production Work, where there are no sources at all, and in certain parts of the Career section. Please note that Wikipedia itself is not an acceptable source. It's crucial for biographies of living people that every claim is backed up by a reliable source. I realize now that the tumblr link is to the official account of a reliable webzine, which is acceptable. As for notability, I'll leave that for another reviewer to decide. There may be enough sourcing to pass WP:MUSICBIO but I'm not sure.

Just as an FYI, we generally leave middle names out of titles, although you are welcome to put it in the prose. --🚂Locomotive207-talk🚂 17:56, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-05-06T17:56:00.000Z","author":"Locomotive207","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Locomotive207-2022-05-06T17:56:00.000Z-Request_on_15:26:16,_5_May_2022_for_assistance_on_AfC_submission_by_Howard_Bleac","replies":["c-Howard_Bleach-2022-05-07T14:58:00.000Z-Locomotive207-2022-05-06T17:56:00.000Z"]}}-->

Dark Angel23490 (talk) 20:49, 23 July 2022 (UTC)Hi, I believe there was a mistake. Maariv, Haaretz and Jerusalem Post are newspapers with millions of readers.

On the value I added to Wiki - Shay Wize.

You placed a note that Maariv, Haaretz and Jerusalem Post are not a reliable source...

@Dark Angel23490: I never said that those sources were unreliable. I simply stated that you needed more sources. Even looking at your recreated draft, it still lacks sources in many spots. Lastly, I would like to note that I am not responsible for the deletion of the original draft. It appears to have been deleted back in April because you hadn't edited it in over 6 months per WP:G13.--🚂Locomotive207-talk🚂 19:19, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20220728191900","author":"Locomotive207","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Locomotive207-20220728191900-Dark_Angel23490-20220728181500","replies":["c-Dark_Angel23490-20220729112900-Locomotive207-20220728191900"]}}-->

I see... Thank you for the clarification. I found also an English interview on a blog with almost Half a million followers https://www.visualatelier8.com/music-releases/2021/3/shay-wize-i-dont-believe-in-love

With the Jerusalem Post, The Maariv interview and Haaretz newspaper - do you think it will be enough?

Because honestly there are artists in Wikipedia with links to sources of information that are not as big as I placed and found...

Hi Locomotive207, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed' and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned prolific creators of articles where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! — TheresNoTime (talk • she/her) 22:06, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20220815220600","author":"TheresNoTime","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-TheresNoTime-20220815220600-Autopatrolled_granted","replies":[]}}-->

Thanks for the feedback on my submission on Kevin B. Lee [1]. I saw you gave further advice to others on their submissions, so I hope you can do the same for me.

Could you point me specifically how the entry "reads like a resume"? And what would be an example of how to correct it?

Also when you say there is "citation bombing", could you identify the specific cases (by their number)?

Thanks again for your careful attention.

Hello Mostrandomusername (talk · contribs). Your draft uses language that slightly embellishes the subject and his accomplishments. This is known as peacock language. For example, "covered extensively by the media" could simply be written as "drew critical acclaim". An example of CITEBOMBing that I noticed actually comes from the sentence I just mentioned. It's three reviews that are all about the same film. In the lead section (which for the record, doesn't really need inline citations as it's supposed to serve as a summary of the article) there's three sources discussing Lee's role in pioneering desktop documentary, you really only need one.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks!

Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC.

On 29 March 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Meriden, Waterbury and Connecticut River Railroad, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Meriden, Waterbury and Connecticut River Railroad, created as an alternative to the New Haven Railroad, was absorbed into the New Haven after just 11 years?

Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
