User talk:AlphaBetaGamma

AlphaBetaGamma is currently feeling discouraged about Wikipedia and is taking an off-and-on wikibreak due to loss of motivation.

Your help in cheering this user up would be appreciated.

He will return when his wikistress has dissipated and his confidence in the wikicommunity has been restored.

Draft:Chess World Cup 2025

This is a major upcoming chess event, and the draft article has several decent sources even if there are a few gaps. There are no BLP issues involved. Can you be more specific about what issues you want addressed before the article is accepted? MaxBrowne2 (talk) 23:01, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anything to verify the entire "Format" section? I'm sure just a tournament bracket or something to just show how the event goes would do... ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 11:30, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Ratio Utility Billing System

@AlphaBetaGamma Thank you for time in inspecting my submission. I have removed unsourced criticisms, and added more references in the criticisms and body. If further changes are necessary, please let me know. MisheardLyric (talk) 02:07, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@AlphaBetaGamma Question: Do you have an example of where the article looks like an essay? Or any other guidance to have it accepted? --MisheardLyric (talk) 02:34, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, an essay has the author state their opinions. We don't do essay hosting. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 03:28, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Stoopid Buddy Stoodios

I miscounted my reverts on the article and decided to stop reverting right away. - FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 03:45, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Findagrave

When can Findagrave be used as a reliable source, if not to show where a grave is located? Because Ancestry.com is blocked. K72ndst (talk) 01:15, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Although WP:FINDAGRAVE-EL says "Almost never", for most editors it's a "never cite this" thing. Even if it were used as a source, it is not reliable at all because it is user-generated. (This logic is also used to discourage people from citing Wikipedia in Wikipedia) ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 01:20, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2025 Nascar Brasil draft

Added more reliable sources instead Insagram ones, adding info everyday as they come but instead putting links from Instagram im awaiting for a news outlet to add it. Did a big change in the whole draft as well making it better and adding directs for other wiki pages. Telles98 (talk) 01:19, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a lack of information, you might be making a draft too soon, and might want to let the draft rest until the event has enough coverage as you are doing. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 01:22, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Rassolov Ilya Mikhailovich

Dear @AlphaBetaGamma , I recently submitted an article for publication in the English version of Wikipedia, but it was rejected with the comment: "The content of this article includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standards for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes." I would like to clarify whether this is related only to the formatting of the references or if the sources I used in the article are not suitable for verifying the facts in the biography (or other content). I tried to carefully gather reliable information and am eager to contribute to the development of Wikipedia. If the issue is indeed with the formatting of the references, I would appreciate any additional explanations or specific recommendations for improving the article. I am also ready to review the sources if they do not meet the platform’s requirements. Thank you in advance for your help and support! I look forward to receiving feedback so I can revise the material and bring it up to Wikipedia’s standards. P.crafter (talk) 18:18, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
