Kindly have another look at the draft, and if everything seems in order, please consider moving it back to the mainspace. Alternatively, let me know if I should move it myself.
Hey Scaledish, I've just draftified an article you marked as patrolled, Senate Committee on Banking/Insurance (now at Draft:Senate Committee on Banking/Insurance). I draftified it because none of the news sources it cited are real, which may be a sign of LLM use. LLMs often hallucinate fake links. There are other signs in that article that point to LLM use, such as the heading style, bulleted lists, tone, and reference placement. Please be careful in future not to mark such articles as reviewed. Best, Toadspike[Talk]17:23, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Toadspike: Oops you're right. That was a serious failure on my part. I had previously reviewed House Committee on the Army, which, while on rereview still has the hallmarks of being AI generated, cites existing sources (I believe they retroactively found sources to substantiate the AI generated content). I think this review was acceptable. A spot check of a few sources shows the sourcing is fine. Where I went wrong is, following that review and failing to give the writing style due weight (I chalked it up to them likely being Nigerian) I became increasingly confident with them and sped through their remaining articles. This was egregiously erroneous on my part, as the autopatrolled permission exists for exactly this reason, and they don't have it. Since this notification, I have redone all my reviews of their articles and draftified 4 more. The list of drafts is in my log, and additionally on User talk:Cameremote. This incident is also being logged in User:Scaledish/Mistakes. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Scaledish! Talkish? Statish.19:36, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Scaledish! I just created my sandbox draft for my artist Wikipedia page under the name Jazzee Bamiere. I’m ready to move forward but I’d love help with reviewing it and understanding how to properly add citations and external links without getting flagged. I also want to make sure it’s eligible to eventually go live. Can you take a look and guide me through the next steps?
Thank you in advance! --Jazzee Bamiere (talk) 15:45, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Scaledish!
I’ve created a sandbox draft under the name Jazzee Bamiere, and I’d love your help reviewing it. I’m trying to understand how to properly add citations and avoid using any blacklisted links. I also want to confirm whether my draft meets the notability requirements for eventual publication. Can you please take a look and guide me through any next steps?
Thank you in advance!
Here’s a refined summary of my draft for the Jazzee Bamiere article, and I’d love your feedback on whether this structure works and meets the notability standard.
⸻
Jazzee Bamiere (born in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American rapper, actress, and entrepreneur. She is known for her cinematic stage style, vintage glamour aesthetic, and sharp lyrical delivery blending hip-hop and R&B.
Career
I plan to include details about her live performances, music releases, and media coverage — all backed with strong references, not just external links.
Notability
Her credentials include awards like the Baltimore Crown Award: Female Hip-Hop Artist of the Year (2021) and multiple press features (WPGC 95.5, DASH Radio, etc.). I’ll also include interviews, podcast appearances, and verifiable event flyers.
⸻
Can you confirm if this structure is appropriate and meets the criteria for eventual publication? Also, are there any adjustments you’d recommend before I continue expanding the sandbox draft?
I’m working on my sandbox draft for my artist page, Jazzee Bamière, and I’ve begun organizing the structure to meet Wikipedia’s formatting standards. Below is the working outline I’m using for the article draft:
Early Life
Career
2018–2019: Early performances
2020–2021: All-Female Cypher & Recognition
2022–Present: Media & Expansion
Discography
Style and Influences
Awards
References
I’d love your guidance on the next steps for citations, confirming notability, and formatting everything properly to meet article requirements for publishing. Let me know if this format looks solid or if I should make any adjustments. Thank you in advance!
@Jazzee Bamiere Your organization looks fine. The draft on your user page looks ok although its been duplicated twice. However
Seriously consider that writing articles on yourself is heavily discouraged: WP:ABOUTME
You currently have no references to establish notability. To be considered notable, multiple reliable, indiependent sources must have written about you. A quick google search makes me believe this isn't the case, however if you could provide some maybe you could change my mind. But again, even so, writing about yourself is heavily discouraged.
Hi, this is an automated reminder as part of Global reminder bot to let you know that your permission "patroller" (New page reviewers) will expire on 00:00, 16 June 2025 (UTC).

New page reviewer granted
Hi Scaledish, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.
This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:
I created an account after reading a biography on Marcus Camillus and saw that the author wasn't listed as a source. I quite enjoyed the book and thought it was well researched and found the author has other books. I went to add this book to the Camillus wiki page and found that it had been removed as a modern source from the page due to a person believing the author is an unreliable source. I undid the edit, because I know this to be inaccurate, given the author's online presence. This individual continues to believe and misrepresent the author and at this point I'm not sure if it's a personal problem or not. I just felt like the author should be listed as a modern source. Advice? --Cassius Brutus (talk) 21:38, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cassius Brutus first an aside, User:Kansas Bear warning you about Edit Warring when they themselves were at the other end of the war feels a little WP:BITEey and hypocritical to me, even though, at the same time, it is good that they made you aware about the edit warring policy which I assume, being a newcomer, you werent aware of. What they probably shound have done is hand written a note along the lines of 'Just so you know, both me and you have hit the 3RR and we need to both stop to avoid warring'.
Anyway, for your question, both of you seem literate so there is little use in forming an opinion myself, being unfamilar with this particular topic and source. Whoever is right, both of you have exactly equal ground to stand on, as you are both at your 3rd revert. Just because they are more experienced doesn't mean their opinion overrides yours (though they may be more familar with the policy that formulated it). I do not know why the other person said Pen & Sword isn't reliable, however they were right to suggest taking it to WP:RSN. You can open a discussion there and other editors will review the material and provide their own opinions on if its reliable. If they decide in your favour it can be added. Scaledish! Talkish? Statish.19:04, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Kansas Bear Ok, like I said I'm not making claims about who is correct here. When I said 'I do not know why the other person said Pen & Sword isn't reliable' I was just elaborating on why I won't pass judgement. All I was trying to do was explain to this new editor that the policy applies equallty to everyone. If the editor chooses to open a notice at RSN, this talk page discussion is of course important context. Even if it goes in your favor (I don't know nor care the likelyhood either way), it is a good learning experience. Scaledish! Talkish? Statish.03:16, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I agree with you and this is why I've been working on getting more reliable sources for the article, so you'll see more updates soon LBSStax (talk) 04:12, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Growth News #34
A quarterly update from the Growth team on our work to improve the new editor experience.
Mentoring new editors
In February, Mentorship was successfully rolled out to 100% of newcomers on English Wikipedia. Following this milestone, we collaborated with Spanish Wikipedia to expand Mentorship coverage to 70% of new accounts, with plans to reach 85% soon unless concerns are raised by mentors. (T394867)
Some links types were removed to align with recommendations written in the English Wikipedia Manual of Style (T390683)
Allowing communities to limit “Add a Link” to newcomers (T393771)
The model used to suggest the links was improved to ease its training (T388258)
English Wikipedia rollout and A/B test: We increased the rollout to 20% of newcomers, with analysis underway. Preliminary data suggests this feature makes new account holders more likely to complete an unreverted edit. (T386029, T382603)
Surfacing Structured Tasks: An experiment where we show “add a link” suggestions to newly registered users while they are reading an article is running on pilot wikis (French, Persian, Indonesian, Portuguese, Egyptian Arabic). Initial results are under analysis. (T386029)
Newcomer Engagement Features
“Get Started” notification: Engineering is in progress for a new notification (Echo/email) to encourage editing among newcomers with zero edits. Early research shows this type of nudge is effective. (T392256)
Confirmation email: We are exploring ways to simplify and improve the initial account confirmation email newly registered users receive. (T215665)
The Wikimedia Foundation’s 2025–2026 Annual Plan is taking shape. The Growth and Editing teams will focus on the Contributor Experiences (WE1) objective, with a focus on increasing constructive edits by editors with fewer than 100 cumulative contributions.
Get Involved
We value your insights and ideas! If you would like to participate in a discussion, share feedback, or pilot new features, please reach out on the relevant Phabricator tasks or at our talk page, in any language.

Hi! Thanks for participating in the Articles for Creation June Backlog Drive! We've done amazing work so far, dropping the backlog by more than 2000 drafts already. We have around 2100 drafts outstanding, and we need your help to get that down to zero in 5 days. We can do this, but we need all hands on deck to make this happen. A list of the pending drafts can be found at WP:AFCSORT, where you can select submissions in your area of interest.

I understand that COI is an important concern for wikipedia editing, so I was just hoping for any advice to make sure I avoid any conflict. Thanks! --Eswinney (talk) 18:14, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Eswinney, thanks for reaching out, I hope your internship is going well. You're doing great so far, good disclosure on your profile. The safest thing to do is to follow the general guidence here: WP:COIER, and the technical guidence here: Template:RE/I. The gist is that you want to put the template on the talk page, which alerts editors to check, and then clearly communicate what you'd like to change. For instance, "Please change the founding date from 1600 to 1982 [citation]", and an editor will do it for you. Scaledish! Talkish? Statish.02:15, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm keen to have production design added to the ky people box on a film page listing on wikipedia.

Can you recommend how I should go about this as it would involve changing the display of information ? --Maydavies85 (talk) 12:58, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Maydavies85 The {{infobox film}} template does not support the "production designer" field, it does have a producer and "production studio" field. Those may fit? see Template:Infobox film for the parameters you can use. Let me know if you still have questions, or if the options dont fit. Scaledish! Talkish?

Administrator elections will take place this month. Administrator elections are an alternative to RFA that is a gentler process for candidates due to secret voting and multiple people running together. The call for candidates is July 9–15, the discussion phase is July 18–22, and the voting phase is July 23–29. Get ready to submit your candidacy, or (with their consent) to nominate a talented candidate!

@Kcbeardman Thank you so so much for reaching out instead of editing a live page. Believe it or not we actually have a guide for this at Wikipedia:How to vandalize correctly. Your best shot would be to fabricate a fake screenshot. To do this, I would create an article in Special:MyPage/sandbox with whatever content you want and, after saving, using inspect element to change the page title before taking a screenshot. Your friends would be non-the-wiser because if they went looking for the page you could just say "it probably got reverted." Scaledish! Talkish? Statish.21:39, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I'm making some edits to build trust in order to add my production company, Epitome Studios, to Wikipedia. Any tips on how I can do this? --MarcelSwanepoel (talk) 14:23, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@MarcelSwanepoel all the trust in the world wouldn't change the following considerations:
All articles must follow our conflict of interest editing requirements (Wikipedia:COIE)
If your only motivation for editing wikipedia is to "build trust" before performing a certain action, you should stop. See Wikipedia:AKON and Wikipedia:Hat collecting. If you are here to earnestly improve the encyclopedia, do that. If you are only here to promote Epitome Studios, and you believe Epitome Studios is notable, you should create a draft and disclose your COI. Wikipedia:Article wizard can help you with this. Scaledish! Talkish? Statish.21:57, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much for the update Scaledish. I appreciate Wikipedia and would never do anything to compromise it.
I do believe our production company Epitome Studios is notable, and would like to create a draft and disclose our conflicts of interest.

I would love to be able to add ‘Production Designer’ of a film to the details box that is at the top right of a Wikipedia page when you search for a film.
It details the director, cinematographer, editor but not the production designer who is up there in importance with the director and cinematographer. They work as a triangle with the production designer creating the whole visual world for a film.
It's not the most blatent NPOV violation I've ever seen. I'd suggest trimming the article considerably because the fluff is really where its questionable. Scaledish! Talkish? Statish.23:49, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@RayRayM1604: I'm back from being off-wiki, so I thought I might as well answer this question and save Scaledish some time.
On Wikipedia, articles aren't protected until there is a demonstrated need for protection. In this case only two edits besides yours have been made to the page and neither is vandalism. If the page is vandalized multiple times, then feel free to ping me or Scaledish, and we'll be happy to request page protection OR show you how to do that yourself.

Thank you! I am indeed sure I made the contribution. I dont have any other unser account, also the uploaded photo is in direct relation to the account. I clearly remember editing the article, adjusting it, seeing it in the preview window, as well as seeing the "waiting for review etc screen after submitting". Would you be able to find any pending articles based on the name/content? I'd be very happy if you could ask an admin to look into it thank you! Clemens Purner (talk) 09:13, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Clemens Purner Hi, I'm terribly sorry but I think there must have been some technical mishap. What is the title of the deleted page? I conducted a search assuming it was "Emma Hartvig" and can search again for something different if you know the exact title name. But as of now:
There are only two mentions of the text "Emma Hartvig" across all of english wikipedia. One is the image you uploaded. Note that deleted body text would not appear in this search.
The page "Emma Hartvig" has never been deleted
The admin named User:Joyous! searched your contribution history on english wikipedia. Unlike users such as myself, admins can view edits a user made which were deleted. Even if a page was deleted, they can see it. In this case they don't see any edits you made which were deleted.
The most likely thing I can imagine is you accidentally submitted the page without being logged in so these edits wouldn't appear under your account, but rather the IP. I've never heard of this being caused by a technical issue. If you tell me the page name I can do one final search for those (public) deletion logs for the page itself. (Please note that the page name must be exact in this case.) Otherwise, I hope you still have a draft somewhere else, or at the very least it won't be too much effort to rewrite? I'm sorry this happened. Scaledish! Talkish? Statish.20:56, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Following a request for comment, there is a new policy outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of temporary accounts. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ahead of time. Admins are encouraged to keep an eye on the request page; there will likely be a flood of editors requesting the permission when they realize they can no longer see IP addresses.
South Asia (WP:CT/SA) is designated a contentious topic. The topic area is specifically defined as All pages related to the region of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups.

Pony here. Quick question > do you know of a reference or guideline on how to determine if a single movie character merits their own Wikipedia page? For instance, the Dragon from Shrek has its own page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_(Shrek)
Although Dragon isn’t a main character, it still has enough notability for a page.
I’d like to submit one for Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High > I’m a big fan > but my submission was rejected. Could you help me understand what standards define when a character qualifies for a standalone article and perhaps how to implement one properly?
Doing well! There needs to be significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Think entire articles about the character. When I look Jeff Spicoli up, all I can really find is coverage of all characters together in one article, not him exclusively.
However, I mistakenly linked it to Atra-Hasis (Q757719) — Protagonist in the myth Atrahasis. It seems I do not have sufficient privileges to remove the incorrect link from Q757719.
