A Shilling for Candles
- Hi KylieTastic, thank you for your swift review of my draft page on Josephine Tey's book A Shilling for Candles. The reason you gave for rejecting it was a lack of reliable sources. I am confused by this because most pages about books focus on the plot and do not cite sources. For example, on this page http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/The_Mysterious_Mr_Quin the only cross-references in the plot summary are to pages that happen to describe something or someone mentioned in the text. Is this the kind of referencing you are looking for? I can certainly incorporate cross-references like this but it isn't clear to me that this adds value for the reader. Thank you for any further insight you can offer.
Logophile59 (talk) 22:36, 31 December 2018 (UTC).
- Hi Logophile59 and welcome to Wikipedia. A fundamental here is that all articles must show notability of the subject (See WP:N) or in this case the more specific Wikipedia:Notability (books). So although I agree that the fact that The Mysterious Mr Quin has no sources for the plot and as such all that content could be deleted as unsourced, the notability of the subject is established via the references. I must admit I am unaware of the work myself, but looking at the author I would expect the sources exist. The key thing is that we get a huge amount of submissions about minor unknown publications, and these days many self-published, so the notability standards aim to make sure every article has a value to an Encyclopedia (although personally we may differ to the value of some subjects). See what references you can find for the work and add them and hopefully it will be enough to see the works of Josephine Tey completed as articles. Hope that helps KylieTastic (talk) 22:50, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you, that was helpful. I've added some citations to show the notability of the subject and have resubmitted. I appreciate your help. Logophile59 (talk) 14:08, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
Schemes and Yojanas
Hi, I'm trying to get most of those recently submitted draft schemes proposed by Anadakshyarika9 to redirect to Odisha Government Schemes List unless you think they are independently notable enough to have their own article. I think they can be sufficiently summarized in that list. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:48, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi AngusWOOF, I've noticed those and been unsure which way to go on some of them. I notice that Gpkp accepted two of them Banishree Yojana and Kishori Shakti Yojana, and Akankshya Yojana was moved not via an AfC accept, but most have been declined. I not aware of any notability guideline other than WP:GNG that would apply to government schemes, so as some of them just have government sources with nothing really independent I'd say not notable, however other ones such as Draft:Mission Shakti(Odisha) do have a number of independent sources so look probably notable. My feeling would be that they need to have multiple independent reliable sources to be accepted, if they only have government ones they aren't acceptable. As this now covers quite a number of drafts (many not even submitted) it may be worth doing a post on AfC Talk to get a general consensus. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:49, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
Request on 21:05:41, 1 January 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by KLLZx
First of all thank you for reviewing my page! I have updated the citations, be advised all of he information I colected was obtained from the artists Instagram so some of the citations are not available (due to the user deleting them).
Again thank you for pointing out my miss-edits, i'm quite new at this.
KLLZx (talk) 21:05, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi KLLZx, for subjects to qualify for a Wikipedia article they need to meet the notability guidelines, in this case Wikipedia:Notability (music). In general this requires significant coverage in independent reliable sources. So sources linked to the subject such as their own Instagram are not valid for showing notability. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 13:18, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
Thanks For You Help
You helped me edit my first page submission http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Draft:Ramon_Rivas_Musical_Artist_Audio_Engineer&action=history and I just wanted to say thank you and ask if you had any other ideas for how I could improve my submission. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wanderingfreeman (talk • contribs) 19:54, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Wanderingfreeman, no worries. As the article is a WP:BLP it's more important than normal to have good inline citations (see Help:Referencing for beginners for help). The important thing to get an article accepted is to show notability (see WP:N) in this case WP:BIO would be the more specific guideline. Unfortunately an "Audio Engineer" is a difficult subject because although many do great work and are respected and known within the industry not much is publicly written, so proving notability may not be possible. It's the same with many other industries... there are a lot of talented and respected people who are never acknowledged publicly. With most articles your looking for significant coverage in independent reliable sources to qualify. Hope that helps explain things. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 20:15, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Infobox design
Hello, I've been planning to make an infobox Blocksworld user. What are your opinions on it? Moresubsthanpewds (talk) 08:01, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Moresubsthanpewds, I had to google it as I had no idea what a Blocksworld user was. I guess you don't mean an infobox but a Userbox? In which case I guess it would fit with the "Electronic games" in Wikipedia:Userboxes/Games - See WP:CREATEUSERBOX. If however you did mean infobox then not a good idea, as I doubt there are any notable Blocksworld users. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 13:49, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
There is no specific criterion for handball players in the national team in great tournament (for Handball in" Notability_(sports)"). However, the player in question took part in high level completion and official EHF tournaments (with his national team and by clubs). This information is visible on the website of the European Handball Federation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmmv (talk • contribs) 15:56, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Jmmv yes I was surprised that there are no specific notability details for handball, and it's unclear if the competitions would be deemed high enough. I've been away a few months so not up with current AfD deletion outcomes, but I believe it would be likely to be flagged for an AfD discussion if accepted. So I'll leave it and the others to see what other reviewers think. However in the eman time if you can find any other sources that talk about these players it will obviously help. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 17:30, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
Draft:Lucky Patcher
Hello, I have seen that you declined my draft for Lucky Patcher because it didn't have independent sources and was written like an advertisement. The problem with this is that as Lucky Patcher is illegal, there are very few sites that report about it in a non-biased matter, one of them being the article written mostly by me on the Malware Wiki (http://malware.wikia.com/wiki/Lucky_Patcher), which is where I copied the info from. I ask if an exception can be made for this page as very few unbiased sources exist. About it being written like an advertisement, can you please explain which parts are written too much like an ad? I specifically tried to keep the article as unbiased as possible, only stating the features and not exaggerating, the only part I find written somewhat like an ad is the 'Alternatives' section, but that can be removed of course, so can you please explain how to make it more unbiased? 20:32, 4 January 2019 (UTC)Mosaicberry (talk) / ARM123
- Hi Mosaicberry no exception can be made partly because there is no individual or group to give an exception. Wikipedia has a set of community written guidelines that give us our 'rules' to work by. For a subject to have an article it must pass notabilty and generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. Wikia is not a reliable source. Also you cannot just copy content from another website at all in most cases, and not without attribution in the rest - see Wikipedia:Copyright violations. The reason I declines for like an advert was because the first ref was a download link, and the text was mostly like a feature list. However it could have been declined as not having good enough independent reliable sources, or for just not being notable. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:43, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
Made updates!
Hi Kylie! Thank you for your feedback on my current AfC. I resubmitted with citations, which hopefully were done correctly and sufficiently. I appreciate you taking the time to make sure Wikipedia is an accurate information source.

IssyHam (talk) 19:47, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
Regarding my edit to the page on Moral Panics, I'd like to know why you feel "Marxist" is not an accurate qualifier to describe a school of thought that resides in Britain but neither represents the majority of British citizens, nor majority academics, nor the position of the government? I believe it is justified given that the source link for the claim I edited is the Wiki for "Crisis Theory" which is classified as a Marxist school of thought. The precedent is there, so to maintain consistency and to not slander the academic traditions of non-marxist Brits, I added a qualifying adjective which is both factually correct and stylistically in continuity with the hyperlinked source of the claim. This is not a political disagreement about the tenets of Marxist thought, this is merely transparency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.170.61.198 (talk) 18:57, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi 73.170.61.198 the change made it sound like all British academics were Marxist, or at least those sociologists defining/using the term. You may be correct with your explanation in a more academic sense, I do not know as it'd not my area, but from a stand-alone statement it looked misleading. As I said it is not my area it's just that the edit was flagged by the AI's as probably inappropriate, and as a first edit with no edit summary it did look dubious. I would suggest maybe posting a suggested edit on the talk page first, or possibly ask at the wikiproject Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sociology or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Philosophy. Lastly I would suggest always use an Help:Edit summary for such edits so others understand the reason more. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:30, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for Review
KylieTastic - Thanks for the initial review of my first wikipage. I inadvertently posted prior to adding the refs, which are up now. Looks like it has been approved and is out in the wild!Rriggstx (talk) 20:02, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Rriggstx, no worries these things happen. I had noticed the updates and added it to review tonight (just got home), but another reviewer got there first. Congratulations on getting your first article published. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 20:08, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
--== Request on 06:34:54, 8 January 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Comedic Griffin ==
Hello. I just wanted to know why my article was declined. I put in all the information I could find online about it, so there's not much I can Change.
Comedic Griffin (talk) 06:34, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Comedic Griffin for subjects to qualify for a Wikipedia article they need to meet the notability guidelines, in this case Wikipedia:Notability (music). In general this requires significant coverage in independent reliable sources. So sources linked to the subject, or commercial listing such as iTunes and Amazon are not valid for showing notability. You need things such as reviews. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:37, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for the reply. I've looked around on the internet and I couldn't find any reviews or articles about the ep, only the band posting about it on Facebook or Twitter. Is there anything else I could do validate the page? If not I'll delete the page. Comedic Griffin (talk) 08:24, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Comedic Griffin, notability is a key standard around here, so for music it's things like being talked about (usual reviews, sometimes press for other reasons); charting in a national chart; going gold; winning awards; etc (See WP:NALBUM for the list) but in all cases these need independent reliable sources. So if you cannot find any that are not primary then it's unlikely to ever get accepted, or more importantly not be deleted from mainspace. The only other thing you can do is ask for help to improve (if possible - sources may just not exist) for instance at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:49, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
Submission Re-Approval
I updated the references that I used with credible sources. I pasted four links to four other South Asian Fraternities. They have similar citations and have been published as pages. One of them doesn't have any references and has been published. This is the only South Asian Fraternity active in the United States without a page and it is taking credibility away from the work they're doing. I've also pasted the last link as a wikipedia page about a Fraternity unrelated to the others with similar sourcing. Every fraternity page I've researched uses fraternity websites as sources and they all have been published on Wikipedia. I would really appreciate your help in publishing my article.
- Hi Frahman16 every article on Wikipedia need to show notability with independent reliable sources. This wasn't always true when English Wikipedia was growing (and even now on other language Wikipedias). Wikipedia:Other stuff exists is never a good reason as it is almost always more likely to get other articles tagged and/or deleted than get your article accepted. Certainly it looks like some/all of those others need to be references or put up for deletion WP:AFD... but it's late and I'm not going to do that now. However we do not want the number of non-notable and/or badly sourced articles to grow. Note that doing good work is not a reason for a page here, only the notability standards - Wikipedia:Notability and in this case Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). If they really have done good work then maybe there are independent reliable sources to add? Hope that explains things KylieTastic (talk) 23:37, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- Self Published Source
What would happen if this was article has self published sources? Wouldn’t that be allowed. All of the material published in the article are facts and not opinion based. Frahman16 (talk) 02:12, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Frahman16 if published with only self published sources it would probably be flagged for deletion, or deletion review. It's not about if its factual or not, but if it's notable - anyone couple write a factual article about any subject but that does not make them notable. By that standard we would have to let anyone write a page about themselves (person, company, etc.) as self declared factual. Wikipedia:Notability is just the standard that is used to draw the line in the sand so we don't have a billion self supported articles. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 10:03, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Draft:List of major email domains no longer in service
Hi Kylie!
You declined the first submission for lack of reliable source; indeed, what we're building here _is_ a reliable source, as much as possible. The discussion that sparkled this page can be followed there: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailop@mailop.org/msg07284.html Some domains have been discontinued (or if not the domain, at least the email service behind it) for years, and besides the fact that the domain isn't accepting emails, or is not reachable today, we can't always find a "proof" that is has been discontinued. However for the future domains to be discontinued, we plan to take screenshots of the announcement, if any. For the example of voila.fr, we could link articles such as this one https://www.numerama.com/tech/135036-orange-voila-fermeture-service-scandale.html, but this isn't the official announcement page. Understandably, the official page would be deleted by the service provider at some point.
If you feel like Wikipedia is not the place for this kind of list, it's a shame, as it's much more publicly accessible than a Github repository, but you would be the one to decide and we would host this list somewhere else.
Cheers!
- Hi Bbillon it's part of the guidelines we work by that all articles must be notable (see WP:N) and verifiable (see WP:V) using independent reliable sources. At the moment it is a mostly unsourced partial list with an unclear purpose. References do not have to be official, for instance if facebook.com stopped all inbound email I would expect that to have been reported in multiple places. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 11:07, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
A thank you!
Just a little message to say thank you for helping tidy up the Matt Goss The Key Album, it's much appreciated. This is a very significant album from Matt's career (being a Kylie fan I'm sure you'll know of Matt from his Bros days also). The draft is currently in review however any help you can kindly give to strengthen this is much appreciated as it's a 1995 release so is little harder than more recent releases, so thank you.

Request on 05:03:54, 11 January 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by FreeAgent79
- FreeAgent79 (talk · contribs)
I'm not sure how a person's birthplace or years served in a band can really be disputable, especially if that info is already published on another Wiki page and cited appropriately from an outside source. I read articles on Wikipedia each day that have far less significant coverage of their subject, so your rush to reject this stub is pretty disappointing. This was my first (and last) attempt to create a Wikipedia page, as it's not worth my time and the process is overly complicated to boot. In point of reference, the page titled "Surviving R. Kelly" was approved with a mere description of what it was, and that page was allowed to expand organically from different users the way Wikipedia intended. I know because I took down repeated vandalism on that page and asked for it to be protected. So, next time I see a naughty picture on a Wiki page... it stays! Congrats — you've taken info out of Wikipedia and driven off a user who actually cares about vandalism, grammar, and punctuation! You trusted few super Wikians can have it — I'm out.
FreeAgent79 (talk) 05:03, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi FreeAgent79, all new articles must have multiple independent reliable sources to show notability with special care taken with Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons - you have only 1 non in-depth reference. "so your rush to reject" would you have rather we waited 4 weeks to decline? Most appreciate a quick response, and sometime we can get a submit, decline, improve, submit, accept all done in under an hour. Surviving R. Kelly was not approved with just a "mere description" it was created with 6 independent reliable sources. Your article was not declined because it was too short, but because you need more than 1 source will significant coverage in independent reliable sources. I'm not sure if Jamie_Dailey is notable or not independent of the band, but it's up to you if you wish to look for more sources or not and resubmit, however it has to pass the basic guidelines we have nothing to do with any "few super Wikians". If you think I'm wrong about the review you can just resubmit and I wont re-review, or you can ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse for help. Thanks anyway for the anti-vandalism on Surviving R. Kelly, vandalism is a huge daily problem here.. I wish it wasn't as I would rather put more hours into helping improve and review articles. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 10:06, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
I was under the impression that my article needed more sources and that you wouldn't review it again. I've added sources, yet you still rubber-stamped it again. If you are going to review it for a third time, could you please provide some more info if you reject it. You said it wasn't because of the length. You said it's up to me to determine if the person is notable "independent of the band" and I have. If one went to the Wiki page for Simon & Garfunkel, he or she would expect to have links pointing to each of those members. I've never created a Wiki article so I guess I'm missing something. I apologize if venting my frustrations on article creation offended you, but these frustrations are not unfounded as illustrated by your silently rubber-stamping it again. It's starting to feel like you'd rather play hall-monitor than actually help an article get published in the Wiki. FreeAgent79 (talk) 21:46, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
I did add more sources and I did re-submit. Draft:Jamie Dailey says it was rejected 17 hours ago by you, so I guess we're both confused. That said, your example of a large K-Pop group doesn't make any sense either. Each of those members is notable, if only for being in the group. People will still want to know about each member's personal life, charity work, education, awards, etc. If we follow the logic that you've provided then a Wiki article would never be created. You said it was up to me to determine if the member is noteworthy outside of his group and I have. I did. I am, once again. I wouldn't be going through all of this if he wasn't noteworthy to bluegrass music. Other Wikians have the time and know-how to flesh out this page with info on his personal life, awards, etc., but per the guidelines that you've stated, I believe this qualifies as a Wikipedia article. Again, never done it before so please tell me where I am wrong. Re-submitting now... FreeAgent79 (talk) 22:33, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for the suggestions and for all of your patience in dealing with this AfC! FreeAgent79 (talk) 23:03, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi FreeAgent79 sorry I'm confused, I haven't reviewed or even edited Draft:Jamie Dailey as you can see for the history here. I assume what happened is you added more sources and didn't re-submit and when you came back you just saw the previous decline and thought it was a new decline? And yes your correct that if you go to Simon & Garfunkel, both are linked and have there own articles as they are both independently very notable. However take the other extreme a large K-Pop group, people are always trying to make articles for each member even though they often have no notability at all outside of the groups. I must admit I'm not aware of Jamie Dailey or Dailey & Vincent but I'm sure he is well in the middle of the two examples. Many of us would love to be able to accept articles for topics we think are 'worthy', but if we do our job wrong the articles get either speedly deleted, or put up for a deletion discussion - which is much more negative. People keep trying to tweak the decline templates to be informative but not too negative, or too encouraging (for subjects that are not at all notable). Anyway if I was correct above, just hit the blue submit and save... also if you find any more refs you can still add. I understand the concept of our notability guidelines can be somewhat odd, but it so we are not as elitist as a standard Encyclopedia with a few people in judgement, but not as open as social meida where everyone has a page claiming greatness.

Gossy album
Hi, thanks for the comment the Gossy Draft, I've amended this until can find a better source, the official charts website you references only keeps a record of the commercial chart and although they do publish the dance charts at the time, they don't put them in the archives however this did chart as mentioned in the article before edited. That said, until I can find a source I've edited it to a better description which is sourced there now if you can kindly have a look and approve. Please be so kind to look at the other drafts too as these really are notable releases however sources are easier to find on some more so than others but all have produced chart hits and singles for the artist.
Music Editor 2017 (talk) 19:40, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Music Editor 2017 the #1 claim certainly needs a reliable source and a blog definitely isn't that, hopefully you can find one. As for your other submission to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just check new ones and pick old submissions at random. There are over 1200 waiting (some now for 5 weeks).... better than it used to be but we are still very short on active reviewers. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:55, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi KylieTastic, yeah, that's completely fine, this is why I've amended it from the specific UK chart until I can find a better source (if I can't find one then the info of this can be just left), a little error on my behalf I guess for not finding it as specific (I thought I had initially so my bad). BBC America confirm the world trance charts position. That's alright in regards to the reviews, I've never done the review process personally so not really sure in regards to that so no rush. Thank you for your kindness, it's much appreciated.

Hi Kyle
Thanks for reviewing my page. I'm trying to set up an entry for a UK political party. With them being new there isn't much I can add that follows the feedback you mentioned. There aren't many "independent sources" as in the UK, you don't tend to get noticed until you start performing in elections - we're not due any until 2022/2023. Is there anything else I can add to get the page going? Can you recommend anything else? I'd really like to get this set up. Thanks :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by North2North (talk • contribs) 00:18, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi North2North unfortunately Wikipedia uses a set of guidelines based on notability (WP:N) for if a subject qualifies for an article. So generally articles require significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia of things that are already notable, not things that may become notable. So it sounds like it's just a bit early for Wikipedia. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:49, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for your help - I see your point. I'll have a look and see what more information I can gather - am I able to resubmit the article again once I've updated it or do I need to submit another one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by North2North (talk • contribs) 11:13, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi North2North no worries. You can continue editing User:North2North/sandbox and re-submit whenever enough independent coverage exists. There are no timescales in your user area. Some editors can move such drafts to the draft space (i.e. Draft:Time Party) - but even then a draft article only usually gets deleted if it's a copyright infringement, very promotional with no independent sources or not edited for 6 months. So you can just add too as and when people notice and write things about the party . Cheers KylieTastic (talk)

Thank you for the review of my article. It was declined due to a lack of significant coverage, but I have many more links and references I can provide. My questions is do I need a references and general references section? I have many links to independent sources that discuss the subject but doesn't need to be linked to any particular text in the article.
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarrod1893 (talk • contribs) 22:30, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Jarrod1893 its' always better if you can add references to the actual text they reference, but assuming the subject is alive then the Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons guidelines means it's even more important. Even when it's not a WP:BLP an article is easier to review and thus more likely to be successful if the citations are inline. That does not mean at the exact location, but at least at the end of the section. Just imagine it from the readers point of view, if should be relatively clear which source or sources are for a section/set of claims and not to have to read every citation listed at the bottom. Hope that makes sense, Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 22:40, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
That makes sense, thank you. What if much of the additional coverage centers around the figure's unique backstory. Would many more sources on that fact of the subject's life help legitimize the article? Multiple articles about the same topic I mean. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarrod1893 (talk • contribs) 22:49, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Jarrod1893 its difficult to say in a general. The guidelines for a person are Wikipedia:Notability (people) and in general "Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic" (see WP:42). Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:31, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for your feedback on my article!
You recently reviewed my article draft for Aaron Bridgewater. First off, thank you for your feedback! (I'm still learning but I feel I'm getting the hang of it.) You asked me to cite my sources using footnotes and that is exactly what I have done:) I was hoping that you might be able to give it a quick look and hopefully approve it?
Please let me know:) Thanks again for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Broheem80 (talk • contribs) 23:24, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Broheem80 your welcome. Good to see your still working on it, and learning the Wikipedia ways. Note though you cannot use Wikipedia as a reference, you can just wiki-link to the articles. Add direct sources if references are in those articles that apply. Also, to be fair to all submitters I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next.

Autostrada A34 translation from Italian
Hi KylieTastic, thanks for the quick review of the draft on the Italian highway. I'm kind of confused as to why it got declined. I probably did it wrong, but the article is a direct translation of the Italian article, and the singular paragraph I translated had no sources itself on the Italian page. What sources should I put, then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PumaGator (talk • contribs) 21:09, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi PumaGator it's a normal confusion to have, but each language Wikipedia has different rules for inclusion. As a general rule of thumb it would appear that the more articles a langueg has the stricter the rules get. So here on English Wikipedia we probably have the strictest (now, not in the past when growing) - All article need some referencing, the source Italian article could have been just made up, or mistaken. See if you can find a source for the Italian motorway system, it/they may already be linked on other Italian motorway articles. I speak very little Italian so can't help further on that. Hope that helps explain things. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 21:17, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- Okay, sounds good. Thanks for your feedback. I found a monthly traffic report from the official department of transportation that says the owner of the highway, along with its length. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by PumaGator (talk • contribs) 21:33, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Draft: Susanna Vernon
Dear Sir, you are down as having reviewed this draft 3 days ago, but I do not know if you made any changes. http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Draft:Susanna_Vernon
Now it says the article is waiting for further review; how long will it be, and how do I know when it has been reviewed? best wishes Gervasevernon (talk) 11:29, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Gervasevernon it wasn't myself that reviewed your article it was AngusWOOF as it says both on the article decline notice, and on your talk page. I was however the last to edit it as you can see from the history here (or use the "View History" tab at the top of the artcile) and you can use the "prev" links to view what has changed. In this case all I had done was add a reference section and a {{reflist}} which tell the wiki where to show the reference list (see here). As for how long it may take that depends as reviews are done by volunteers and it depends on how many are reviewing and how many submits we get - unfortunately the backlog is building up again so it may take some time.

Hi, you recently reviewed an article I wrote: Draft:European Gazette. I wanted to thank you for the effort and for your suggestions. I have followed all your instructions, and improved the general layout of the article. If you could take another look I'll also appreciate it.
Once again, thanks for the feedback. It is my first article and I fully intend on getting it right. Jon R. Roe (talk) 18:56, 21 January 2019 (UTC) |
- Hi Jon R. Roe glad your continuing to improve your article, but I'm a taking a break from Wikipedia to deal with some real-life issues. But we have lots of other reviewers (not enough though) so hopefully it wont be too long. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 23:13, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
Mark Zunino
Hi KylieTastic, thank you for your review of my article submission. The reason you gave for rejecting it was due to a lack of reliable resources, specifically secondary sources. You also stated that IMDB is not a credible resources for Mark's designs in films and TV shows. What would constitute as a reliable source and what do you mean by a secondary source?
Thank you for your time. Zakkarysmith (talk) 14:26, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Zakkarysmith I actually did the original review, it was AngusWOOF who did the latests review. For a definition of reliable sources see Wikipedia:Reliable sources - but in general user created content such as IMDB, Wikis (including Wikipedia) and blogs are the main source of non-reliable sources. For a description of primary vs secondary see WP:PSTS. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 23:18, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

please don't delete the history written on Thirubuvanai. The required references will be add at the end of submission. Sanwaa (talk) 10:45, 26 January 2019 (UTC) |
- Hi Sanwaa that's not how Wikipedia works. Instead of adding vast amount of unsourced content with a promise to add references later, add smaller bits at a time with the valid references. Remember the article is public to the world. If you want to write material then add references I suggest doing this in your own sandbox User:Sanwaa/sandbox or a sub user page User:Sanwaa/Thirubuvanai then when happy with the a new sections text and references copy that section to the article.

Hatch_(cryptocurrency)
Hi KylieTastic,
I think you have not deservedly deleted the Hatch cryptocurrency article. It was a link to an external resource, this is the address of the site. The page was only minimally available information. Perhaps in the future, users will add information. I can also add one more link to the bitcointalk.org community. Please publish the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by A00851606 (talk • contribs) 00:27, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi A00851606 firstly the draft was not deleted it was declined. The only source was the subjects website - Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia not a place for promotion. Note that "Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic" (see WP:42). Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:28, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- @A00851606: Now it's deleted. Clearly, in addition to the content being promotional, the subject does not meet notability requirements for this encyclopedia.-- Dlohcierekim (talk) 14:56, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- This is not an advertisement but information. The aim of the article was to popularize the x11 protocol and masternodes. These two technologies will further help to change the world. On what basis do you have Dash and Petro cryptocurrency published? Petro has nothing to do with the x11 protocol.
- @A00851606: "popularize" = advertise. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 03:35, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Vandalism to ancient dates
Hello, KylieTastic,
I've been spending hours reverting vandalism that a series of IP accounts (66.210.239.21-66.210.239.25) made over January and February. There are hundreds of edits primarily to year articles (like AD 82) and biographies of ancient figures (like Marcus Atius), where the editor altered the birth or death date by a year or so. This has resulted in several categories being deleted since it appeared that no one was born or died during certain years and the categories were empty when that was really not the case. Since not a lot of content was removed (often the edits are 0 bytes), these tiny edits are hard to detect and often were individually reverted by well-intentioned editors while the IP accounts' edit histories were not examined.
I'm writing to you because as I've been reverting this vandalism, I've seen your edits to these same types of articles. I'd like to ask you that if during your editing, you see this pattern of vandalism, if you could let me or another admin know so we can block these accounts. Needless to say that these edits took little time to do but involved much more time cleaning up. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 22:02, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hey Liz I vaguely remember a series of issues like that. I'll keep it in mind and let you know if I come across more. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 22:35, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- KylieTastic, now that I'm done (this vandal-fighting takes hours!), I see that you reverted a great many of the damaging edits of 66.210.239.25 in late January. Thanks so much for the work you did last month that saved me time reverting bad edits today! Liz Read! Talk! 00:05, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Removing redlinked images from infoboxes
Please be careful when removing redlinked images from the infoboxes of newly created articles. If the image or logo is being uploaded under fair use, it is often added to the article first to avoid the image being deleted under CSD F5). --Ahecht (TALK

Aaron Bridgewater
Hi Kylie! I messaged you about a month ago regarding the draft for Aaron Bridgewater. I know you said that you do not review pages on request, but it was declined by you a month ago, and originally declined almost two months ago by another wikipedian. My question is, why does it say that it can take up to 5 weeks to be reviewed, but I am about 8 weeks in? Does the 5 weeks start over after each decline? I am only curious because I have taken the advice of both of you (great advice by the way:) and have applied it to my article in hopes to finally get this thing approved lol.
Any chance that you might be willing to break your rule just once to help me get my article up? I would greatly appreciate it!!! Here is the link, just in case:)
Thanks in advance!!!
Broheem80 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Broheem80 (talk • contribs) 22:17, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hey Broheem80, sorry it's taken so long, I know it sucks, but that's the trouble with Wikipedia being not organised and up to the whims of individuals and consensus. Yes each time an article is submitted it is timestamped from that day so the time is from the last submit, not the first submit. Category:AfC pending submissions by age shows the currently backlog in time chunks. Unfortunately most reviews are either done on the zero day (to reject all the complete junk, trolls, vandals, promotion, etc - or to point out obvious issues with good subjects like just not having any sources), or done on the oldest. Some reviewers will pick randomly, or look for areas of interest but most are probably reviewing the newest or oldest. AfC does just not have enough active volunteer reviewers, or anyone or organise backlog drives. When I was last active reviewing we almost got it down to 1000 outstanding and 3 weeks, but due to several real-life issues I've not been reviewing hardly at all the last few weeks. Also I've noticed some of the other regular reviewers are not very active at the moment. You could try asking AfC at the ask us a question on the decline notice , or ask for feedback at the Wikipedia:Teahouse it could catch someone's interest. Unfortunately I'm not likely to reviewing, or several other things, for some time until issues in real-life resolve. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 23:01, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

David Harris: reversal without explanation
I wondered why you undertook to revert the change I made to the description of David Harris as "protester"? "Protester" is generic and effectively content-free. He was an anti-war, anti-draft protester almost 50 years ago. He has since been a serious journalist and writer. Avocats (talk) 03:31, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Avocats, it was not a "reversal without explanation", the explanation was in the edit summary Rvt broken image. You changed a filename not visible content, and broke the image. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:14, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Catherine Hobbs
I see that you restored 'citation needed' for the secondary school attended by Catherine Hobbs. I certainly couldn't produce a link to verify the school which I attended many years ago. And I wasn't asked to produce a citation to prove that I attended Birkenhead School. I know of no school that publishes a list of all pupils who have ever attended. Neither have I been asked for such a citation in any other wiki bio I've written. It does seem to me to be a rather unreasonable demand for a very minor detail in a biography of an eminent female mathematician.
Concerning the photograph, the one that was submitted originally (by the person who took it) has been deleted for reasons which I can't discover. Rather than wrestle with the somewhat obscure reasons for this, I've asked for the picture to be submitted again. David Colquhoun (talk) 09:58, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hi David Colquhoun all information on Wikipedia should be sourced with reliable sources and if not can be challenged as this has, in some cases such details may go left unsourced and unchallenged such as in the other cases you mention but comparing to other unsourced information is more likely to get that also flagged/removed than to be a valid excuse to keep more. Sources do not need to be official records from schools, but could be newspapers, articles, or even interviews that mention it etc. Without a source this count as "original research" which is not allowed (See: Wikipedia:No original research). Remember you know who you are and believe you know the information is correct, but to everyone else your just another anonymous editor. I believe you are who you say and the info is probably correct, but my opinion matters no more than any other editor, hence we work to the guidelines. As for seeming an "unreasonable demand" again your considering it from knowing who you are and what you know, do you think its OK for anyone to add unsourced claims to peoples biographies? A lot of utter rubbish is added, and removed, from articles every day, but also a lot of claims that may or may not be true. It's just like in scientific research, you may trust the people you know and talk with but when it comes to publishing claims are expected to be properly cited. As its a minor piece of trivia, if you don't want the [citation needed] tag in the article and cant find a source you can just remove the claim and tag together. If you know the subject maybe you can ask if she has a bio published anywhere?
- As for the image if one is uploaded remember you need to include the file extension, the last time (here) you forgot so it still would not have worked. As for File:Catherine Hobbs Profile Photograph.jpg is was deleted from commons because someone tagged it as not having the the correct permission information and a notice was placed on c:User talk:JohnGriffiths606 with details. It was then deleted a few days later after no updates. Commons takes copyright very seriously, which can be very frustrating, but it's needed to protect the foundation from legal challenges. You can ask for help over at the commons help desk c:Commons:Help_desk. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:34, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
User:KylieTastic. Thank you for your quick response. Actually I'm far from anonymous, unlike most people who edit stuff here, but I can't vouch for which High School Catherine Hobbs went to. So I'm happy to leave the [citation needed] tag for the moment. I've never actually met her. I offered to help the London Mathematical Society to get more female mathematicians into Wikipedia. I was asked because I'd done a few before though I'm far from expert in Wikipedia.
I didn't upload the picture myself, because I was aware from previous experience how fussy the rules about copyright are. I asked for it to be uploaded by the person who took it but perhaps he was unaware of the importance of making that clear. He's going to try again anyway. Better luck next time.
I hadn't noticed the deletion of the picture before. Sometimes I get an email from Wikipedia when things like that happen and that's the only way I know to check. I don't recall getting one about the picture, so I had no idea that it had gone.
Thanks for your help. David Colquhoun (talk) 15:32, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
User_talk:XxmemerxX
I saw your message on User_talk: XxmemerxX. Please try to be more polite towards new users. You should have use problematic user welcome templates instead of warning template. When I was new I was pretty angry by it too. Most of the new users are not familiar with our policies. Please avoid biting newcomers. Please remember to use level 1 warning for new users as they might not find your warning as an advice.
Sincerely,

- Hi Masumrezarock100, if it was just not knowing policies or other innocent actions then yes they get a level 1, but if they start with this it's deliberate vandalism and deserves more. Obviously 49TL agreed as they indefinitely blocked them only after one more edit of the same type. Assume good faith, does not mean people can do anything and just get a "...did not appear constructive" polite level 1. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 01:23, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Dear Kylie,
I have created the following wiki page back in Jan,7,19. It was immediately declined by you for very legitimate reasons.
http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Draft:Hossein_Fakhraee
I corrected the errors in the references and resubmitted it. But the status has been "awaiting re-review" since then. Would you please advise me on the current status or who to contact if not you in order to get more info on when this will be published.
your time and advice will be greatly appreciated. Sina.fakhraee (talk) 00:00, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Sina.fakhraee, the Articles for creation reviewing is done by volunteers (like all content on Wikipedia), so the time it takes depends on how many people are reviewing at any given time. I'm not currently doing much review work due to more real life work at the moment. The backlog was down to 3 weeks, but I see it's now up 7 weeks (see Category:AfC pending submissions by age). You could try asking AfC at the ask us a question on the decline notice, or ask for feedback/help at the Wikipedia:Teahouse it could catch someone's interest. I would say that just having a very quick look, and not reading the sources, that claims for things like the awards should be sourced - either new ones or using the existing ones if they do cover them so its easy to verify the claims. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:42, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
Declined - Vector Packet Processor draft
You had declined the draft of the Vector Packet Processor Page. I have added several, independent sources. There were also references to links that were done incorrectly. I think all the references are correct now. Before I resubmit this page could you I ask you to take a look and let me know if all the issues are corrected and if I can resubmit this. Thank you for your review.
Jdenisco (talk)jdenisco —Preceding undated comment added 13:20, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Jdenisco, glad to hear you've continued to improve your article and add independent sources. It appears I reviewed this 2 months ago and the past versions were redacted due to copyright issues, so what is required is a full review. Sorry, but to be fair to all submitters currently waiting I don't re-review on request, I just pick new and old submissions at random, so it may or may not be myself who reviews it next. On a positive note a quick scan does not show any more copyright issues. Without reading the sources I did note that the History section has no direct references, it may be in the current sources which is fine, but adding the sources to that section will make it easier for readers/reviewers to verify. So my advise would be to reference the history section, either with existing or new sources, and them submit. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 20:19, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
Thanks again for the great suggestions. I will incorporate them and then try again. 173.38.117.80 (talk)jdenisco —Preceding undated comment added 16:44, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
Fahrenheit 11/9
Have you ever watched Fahrenheit 11/9? Do you know the crisis happening in Flint, as of this moment? I suggest you read your history, and find out the true actions of Rick Snyder, then you will understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.155.141.69 (talk) 21:50, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- No I havn't watched Fahrenheit 11/9, and yes I'm aware of the crisis in Flint. that has nothing to do with adding non encyclopedic content. If you really care, add sourced information about what he has done, or failed to do. Encyclopedic content can be factual and damning, but "is an absolute demon come to this earth with absolutely no respect for human lives" is just venting.

Thanks re that Kylie, now re-reverted? Hugo999 (talk) 21:48, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
Sorry team, you're right, I shouldn't have used that language and I apologise for my error. Please note however that the facts you are presenting are wrong, which is why I am keen to have them removed. The media articles to which you refer are also partially factually incorrect. I'm happy to use a mediator, but the issue has been through a confidential legal process here in New Zealand and there is an agreement in place protecting the privacy of all parties involved. Thanks
- Hi, please bring the issues up on the articles talk page. Without a source this is just you an anonymous person making unsubstantiated claims. If there are errors then evidence needs to be given, and preferably added or altered not just removed. If there is actually a legal reason why Wikipedia cannot report such then I would suggest bring it up with the administrators Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Revert on Chola dynasty
Sir, I edited and (secondly) made or changed the sentence "held as one state for a period of two centuries and more" to "held as one state for a period of three centuries and more" first because from the very second king Aditya I, the Later Cholas acquired the status of an empire... Aditya I not only defeated the Pandyas and Cheras (of Kerala), he married a Chera princes, and later also obtained submission of a Kannada kingdom, namely the Gangas and during his time itself, the Chola domains had reached the Mysore hills and plateau (bordering Kerala). As proof, kindly read page 159 of the book "A history of South India" by K.A.Nilakanta Sastri, which mentions that Aditya I overpowered the Pallavas and ended their existence and that "the whole of the Pallava kingdom now became Chola territory which henceforth bordered on that of the Rashtrakutas (903)" i.e. 903 AD. Rashtrakuta core areas were in what is modern Karnataka and central and southern Maharashtra. Further, the next para states: "The Ganga Prithvipati II, the grandson of Prithvipati I, soon afterwards acknowledged the suzerainty of Aditya", which attests to the fact that in addition to Pallava areas in Telugu lands, namely from Tirupati to Cuddapah-Guntakal belt, the Chola territories extended even to the Tamil lands to what is southern Andhra, central and southern Karnataka and Kerala. This is further proven by the sentence that "He (Aditya) is said to have built tall stone temples of Siva on both banks of the Kaveri from the Sahyadri to the sea." As proof there is still a Chola temple standing on the west coast, at Bhatkal. Sir, this was in AD 903-907, with the latter being the year Aditya I expired. From here, we go to AD 1215, when the Chola King Kulottunga-III loses to the Pandyans under Maravarman Sundara...Kulottunga, who ruled from 1175-1216 (41 Years) had defeated the Pandyas, occupied Sri Lanka, defeated Hoysala Veera Ballala -III in battle and counted Nolambavadi, Banavasi, Hangal and eastern Gangavadi in Mysore, Vengi (Rajahmundry-Vizag region), Nellore-Cuddapah belt among the areas of his hegemony and core territory. This means from 907 to 1215, despite wars, victories or defeats under Parantaka I and Kulottunga I, the territories of the Cholas both within Tamil lands but also in what is Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra, practically remained unviolated, and the Chola empire/rule only declined from 1215 and they practically went into oblivion by 1280 AD. (Though there are records of minor Cholas even up to 1464 AD during the rule of Vijayanagara).... hence pls. allow me to change the caption to "held as one state for three centuries and more". Thank you.. Srirangam99 (talk) 07:07, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Srirangam99 I have no opinion of the two to three as it's not a subject I know and I cannot check the source given. I only saw the change of "Chola Dynasty" to "Chola Empire" as it was flagged as a possible problematic edit by the "AI". The name would need consensus and if changed the article moved properly - so as I said in the edit summary if you think Empire is more correct start a discussion on the articles talk page, see WP:RM#CM for the procedure for "potentially controversial moves".

How to add pictures
How can i add pictures, which is related to the topic. Souravgg8 (talk) 18:53, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Souravgg8 images must be uploaded see WP:UPIMAGE (copyright allowing) and to upload to English Wiki your account must be at least four days old, and the user must have made at least ten edits. You can also upload images to our sister site Wikimedia Commons using the same logon details without waiting, and use here (or any language Wikipedia).

Hi - You end you posts with "Cheers". Is that British or some other country salutation? I'm American and not too worldly wise. Eschoryii (talk) 03:33, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Eschoryii, I hadn't realised but yes it does appear to be British. It's a more informal friendly sign-off, used in writing but also verbally as a goodbye, it's also used as a thank you as well. Adios KylieTastic (talk) 10:05, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Re My Post on General of the Air Force
Not sure what you comment means re a "test". My intention was to correct the mistake-- still present-- that the insignia for the rank of General of the Air Force includes the US coat of arms above the circle of 5 stars. It does not. The GAF insignia is the circle of stars alone, nothing else. Refer to the the US Dept of Defense website. dod.defense.gov. Sorry if I messed up anything else unintentionally. Venqax (talk) 19:00, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Venqax I assume you are talking about this edit - All you did was remove the end of a filename with no edit summary to explain the reason. You just changed "US Air Force O11 shoulderboard with seal.svg" to "US Air Force O11 shoulderboard" which is not a valid image filename. As you didn't give a reason it looked like either vandalism or a test edit. However now you've raised it I notice you did post to the talk page - however you added to the top so it would be less likely for people to notice as on talk pages new messages go at the bottom (I've now moved it). Obviously it would be better if you had a source for your claim, however if you think your correct you would need to change (if I understand your point) File:US Air Force O11 shoulderboard with seal.svg to File:US Air Force O11 shoulderboard.svg. Hope that explains things, Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:16, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
Rica Talk Hotel
Hello! Thanks for noticing the changes, however, the edit reverted looks neat again the page but it’s not correct information. Rica Talk doesn’t exist and this place is run by Scandic, a Scandinavian chain, and I happen to work there. I’ve been an avid user of Wikipedia for decades but could never figure how to do edits, or even message to someone (lord have mercy in my technical skills!). At the same time I wonder that in this age of easy technology wouldn’t that be more engaging and resultantly more objective and talked through content on Wikipedia? The edit page looks scarily technical. Regards Mubasher Mubasher.saeed (talk) 22:24, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
@kylietastic Mubasher.saeed (talk) 22:25, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Mubasher.saeed if you have a source (web link) for the name change I'm happy to make the updates, or I'll look myself for when when I get time (it's late and I have a busy week). The best way to learn to edit is to do small edits, it looks scary at first, but it's not that technical just different. Your edit was fine, but you changed the file name of the image which broke it (hence why I noticed) as well as changing the name of the hotel. I'll try to look and update in the next few days. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 23:15, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Mubasher.saeed that's sorted now, see Scandic Talk Hotel. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:38, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
NPR Newsletter No.17
Hello KylieTastic,
- News
- The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.
- Discussions of interest
- Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
- {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
- A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
- There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.
- Reminders
- NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.
- NPP Tools Report
- Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
- copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
- The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

2013 AFC U23 Championship
Why you undone my contribution in 2013 AFC U23 Championship? The championship took place in 2014! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjaatoul (talk • contribs) 20:33, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
- As the title is "2013 AFC U-22 Championship" and you provided no reason it just looks like vandalism. The leed says it was the 2013 championship it has just been delayed, do you have a source that says it was renamed? Also see Talk:2013_AFC_U-22_Championship#Requested_move_2 where the request to rename was name and rejected by consensus. In future use edit summaries to explain any edit that could be seen as controversial, you also broke the image by just changing all 2013 to 2014. However as all the links appear to be broken, maybe it has been officially renamed? If you have a source suggest the name change again on the talk page and then the actual article will also be moved to the new title. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 20:51, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Why my uploaded all logos are deleted from Wikipedia while they had proper licences? WikiWiki5678 (talk) 13:02, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi WikiWiki5678 I can't see that you have uploaded any images here, and you have no deletion notices on your page to suggest you have? I can see that you have uploaded logos to our sister project Wikimedia Commons and they have been deleted as copyright violations - See your commons user page c:User_talk:WikiWiki5678. Non-free content cannot be uploaded to commons, but you can upload here some things such as logos is you follow the guidlines (see Wikipedia:Non-free content). Use the "Upload file" link in the left hand menu , use the "Click here to start the Upload Wizard" top link not the commons link and make sure to select "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use." and fill out the fields. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 13:12, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
Help me how to upload logos here. My all updated logo are deleted by Commons. Need help WikiWiki5678 (talk) 17:00, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
On your provided link, nowhere I found "Upload File" WikiWiki5678 (talk) 17:03, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi WikiWiki5678 Very few logos are valid for licencing on Commons, so what you need to do is upload locally
- The "Upload file" link is on the left hand side menu in the "Tools" section - it links to Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard
- The full link to the wizard is HERE
- In step three use "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use." for logos, then "This is a logo of an organization, company, brand, etc."
- For full information see Help:Introduction to uploading images in the "Non-free content" section
- Hope that helps. KylieTastic (talk) 17:10, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
Nothing is helpful for me. When I press the link 'Click here to start the Upload Wizard', same thing is coming again n again. WikiWiki5678 (talk) 17:29, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
Even don't find "Upload file" and no tools section on the left hand side. WikiWiki5678 (talk) 17:35, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
This link is not working on my mobile WikiWiki5678 (talk) 17:37, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- WikiWiki5678 You should see something like this screengrab. The image also shows the "Upload file" link on the side. Your not a brand new account so it should work. But yes I just tried on a mobile and you get no side menus and clicking "Click here to start the Upload Wizard" it just does nothing, it appears only to work in desktop mode. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and select "Desktop"... but it may be hard to use on a mobile. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 17:44, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
It's very hard from a mobile. Can we chat on social media? Then I can share the logos and links, you just simply add them on their particular pages. WikiWiki5678 (talk) 17:51, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi WikiWiki5678 Wikipedia is not very easy to edit on mobiles at all, I don't even like reading much on mobile. I don't have any social media (too much negativity and hate) and I'm about to go find some food. You can make requests for images to be uploaded at Wikipedia:Files for upload - Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 17:58, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

After reaching that step, few questions are arrived. Source, explain how the file use, special source and licence condition etc. What I have to choose, tell me step by step. WikiWiki5678 (talk) 19:11, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi WikiWiki5678 last response tonight as I have things to do away from Wikipedia/Computer....
- Source: usually just the url of where you got the file
- Tick "This image will be shown as a primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the entity in question." as I assume that is going to be true
- For "In view of this, please explain how the use of this file will be minimal." just put something like "Only used in the infobox to identify subject"
- "Special source and license conditions (optional)" - as it says just optional, relevant for some special conditions can be ignored in most cases
- "Any further relevant information about this file?" - just an optional each information box just ignore.

And no I cannot just move the draft Draft:Zee Keralam you'll have to talk to either of the reviwers who rejected it, or ask at the AfC Help Desk Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk for advice on what needs to be done to get it approved.

Today I have found few fake pages in Wikipedia, those who have no existence in the entire planet (no idea for universe). It is bound me to relise, is Wikipedia really authentic? Few days back, they declined Zee Keralam page, which was 1000% true. Declining authentic page, accepting fake pages, wow!!! Nice!!!
All of these pages are fake.

- Hi WikiWiki5678, if pages are fake you can put them up for deletion - see Wikipedia:Deletion process - as for "accepting fake pages" these were all created in July 2015 long before new articles had to go through review. There are currently 8.5 million articles, so yes some are of low quality and many would not be accepted. As for Draft:Zee Keralam as I said before you'll have to talk to the reviewer or ask at the AfC Help Desk not me, I am just another editor like you. Also I note that Zee Bollyworld TV was put up for deletion before and kept see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zee Bollyworld TV. You could try posting you issues to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television as it's a project interested in these articles, both the three "fake" and the draft, you may be able to find editors who are interested in helping you fix any issues, delete any "fakes" and get the draft accepted.

Need your help again. I have uploaded all Star Sports channels logo (like, Star Sports 1, Star Sports 1 Hindi, Star Sports 1 Banga,etc) on the article. But, all logos will be deleted after few days. Please solve the problems and guide me what to do. https://en.m.wiki.x.io/wiki/Star_Sports_(Indian_TV_network) — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiWiki5678 (talk • contribs) 04:01, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- Hi WikiWiki5678, Star Sports (Indian TV network) has 17 images on which appear to all be labelled "to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the entity in question." which is not true as only one is used for this purpose. Due to legal issue with copyright Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria rules are applied strictly. They have been flagged for the reason WP:NFCC#8. If logos change a lot they could have significance as historic identification such as on Sky One, however the ones on Star Sports (Indian TV network) are all very similar (especially the ones wit just a number change). To get any kept I would suggest updating the captions to describe what they are and update the "Purpose of use in article" one the files pages to describe a reason the variant is needed. For instance the ones with just a number chnage are difficult to justify, but the langauge specific ones such as File:Star Sports 1 Telugu.jpg could be chnaged to somthing like "To show a version of the Telugu language variant of the logo". However when it comes to copyright, files that have no clear claim for need are usually deleted, so mnay such as the number chnage only ones will most liekly be deleted. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:16, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
You have to do something. Suggest me what can I do and edit? All logos should be remain here. Kindly give me suggestion, if any modifications are needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiWiki5678 (talk • contribs) 14:20, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- WikiWiki5678 I did you a suggestion above, mainly add captions to to logos on the page to describe them and give them a purpose, and change the "Purpose of use in article" claim on the files to be truthful as they are not all used as "primary means of visual identification at the top of the article". Other than that as with the other questions it's always best to talk to the other editors involved in this case the two editors who have tagged the articles starting with the editor who has left you the "Proposed deletion" notices on your talk page. KylieTastic (talk) 14:32, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
If I change "Purpose of use in article" only, then logos will be remain here? Please suggest me what I will write there instead of?
- WikiWiki5678 that would depend on others, in list case as they are just proposed on the Administrators (which I am not) - They will apply the guidelines as per Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. However I doubt all the logos can remain as they are too similar to "fair use" (in my opinion) - but as I said if you want advice on my they were tagged best to ask the editor who tagged them User talk:Whpq, also I did make a suggestion for a file above, but each one needs a valid reason why that particular image is needed KylieTastic (talk) 14:44, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
Please suggest me what I will write there instead of? Ok give me one favour.

Also note we have to help desks for these sorts of questions the Wikipedia:Teahouse and the Wikipedia:Help desk. KylieTastic (talk) 19:54, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
Remove this redirect link. See here, I added here the authentic prove about ABP Ganga's 15th April launch date.see here... https://en.m.wiki.x.io/wiki/ABP_Group So, tell me, is this page needed or not? If yes, then take a suitable step. Remove redirect link and keep ABP Ganga page, what I had created, I have to edit something there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiWiki5678 (talk • contribs) 20:00, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
FYI
An example of the Wikipedia time sink. Thanks for reverting persistent IP vandalism at that page NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 13:18, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hey NewsAndEventsGuy, yup the vandals do waste so much time. Although when someone edits like that person does it does make me wonder what real-life 'issues' drive them. But while the project continues with "anyone can edit" all we can do is keep reverting, reporting. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 13:39, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- I was talking about the refusal to protect the page. The last 12 months show a pretty picture. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:23, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hey NewsAndEventsGuy, I agree... I know from experience that it's a waste of time to report things there unless it's quite a few IP's and over a shortish period. Frustrating, as I would not be surprised to see them back... so I'll keep a watch out. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:44, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

WP:BITE
http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Draft:Three_Identical_Strangers&direction=prev&oldid=848101600 was accepted as an article after you moved if from main space.
Don't WP:BITE the newbies! Do your research on an article before you move it to Draft space!!!!! Moscowdreams (talk) 03:09, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Moscowdreams, I did not move to the article to draft you created it in draft - see the page log and page history. Secondly you created an article with a single line and 1 reference that was not enough to show notability (hence the decline). I did not WP:BITE I used the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process, tool, and standard template - if you feel this template is bitey feel free to make your point at the Articles for creation Help desk - they are used hundreds of times every day, but that does not mean that could not be improved. Not only that but I added a welcome message with helpful links for new users, and also a Wikipedia:Teahouse invite to help you answer any questions. Many other reviewers do not welcome or invite to the teahouse, but I always try too deliberately to be more encouraging for new users to add to continue editing. The teahouse invite is specifically worded to try to take the bite out of a decline and too encourage new users. As for Three Identical Strangers it was not your draft that was "accepted as an article" but another editor created a new article on the 12 July 2018 when the article looked like this. If you had crated your draft with a few more reliable sources like this it would have been accepted, or if you had just added some more links and a couple of sentences and resubmitted it probably would have been accepted. Note that the decline template says "This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability." it does not say the topic is not notable, hence why it continues "Please improve the submission's referencing" - so maybe one improvement to the declines templates would be to say if you feel the subject is notable but do not wish to improve the submission yourself you could use Wikipedia:Requested articles to request another editor create the article.

Hello KylieTastic, I have just cited a source for my recent changes to the "Sex.com" Wikipedia article, and I do believe that it is reputable. Thank you for letting me know. Bigfunkgun (talk) 22:10, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
Mardi Gras Indians
I have been working closely in New Orleans with Black Masking Indians. I deeply believe these changes are imperative to their movement in reclaiming there heritage and association with Mardi Gras. If you read the article it does state that these are native people. I sincerely implore you to reconsider this decision. This has been an uphill battle for these indigenous people and using this platform to re-educate people that have no other means of information will redirect us toward a more truthful explanation of their culture and extremely rich history. I thank you so very much as I know Wikipedia is for offering the best information to its subscribers. I also believe a person like yourself that is working to be sure the information on this site is relevant and accurate. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing back from you on this! Christiane —The1tibbs (talk • contribs) 23:10, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- Hi The1tibbs and welcome to Wikipedia. As you didn't say, and it wasn't edits from your account, I had to look back though my edits to guess you are talking about Mardi Gras Indians. Firstly as you have disclosed you "have been working closely in New Orleans with Black Masking Indians" please read at least the introduction of the guideline Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Information on Wikipedia should be reliable sourced, it shows the current state and is not for promotion or to be used to change things. Googling "Mardi Gras Indians" I get 189,000 results with including key sites such as neworleans.com and mardigrasneworleans.com, and 4,600 results in "News". However "Black Masking Indians" return only 5,710 results with only 39 "News" results. As such your change would appear to break another of our guidelines on the use of common names (See WP:COMMONNAME). More appropriate at this time would be (if references exist) to add a section on the name/heritage etc, there would appear to be enough uses to justify having "Black Masking Indians" mentioned. However as I said, this is an Encyclopedia and need to given information on how things are not used as a platform to drive change - I'm sure you can imagine for even valid cause, there are many more would use the site for less desirable goals. Even if this was a valid change at this time generally such changes should be discussed on the article talk page first. Hope that explains things, Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 13:36, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
David Jack(s):
Kylie you changed my edits because they were "not helpful" I suggest you research other articles on Wikipedia that list David "Jack" as actually David "Jacks" in Monterey. His daughter made a contribution to Stanford so it should be relatively easy to determine his last name. I have also used the Appendix to the book "The Match" to confirm his last name.
Kylie
I have good reason to believe his last name was "Jacks" instead of "Jack". In fact, links to sources in Wikipedia confirm his last name as "Jacks". His daughter made significant contributions to Stanford University, it should be relatively easy to confirm the patrimonial name. I have also confirmed his last name through the book "The Match" which is a well researched effort. I am interested in getting this right and you should be too — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.67.36.195 (talk) 02:34, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
Yes I just went to the Stanford website and sure enough the building that David Jacks daughter had built is indeed called the "Margaret Jacks" Hall. Here is a link http://maps.stanford.edu/ada/building-ada.cfm?FACIL_ID=01-460 I suggest you check things out before just deleting them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.67.36.195 (talk) 02:40, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
- 70.67.36.195 we have probably hundreds of edits a day just changing peoples names (amongst the vast amounts of vandalism). When an 'anonymous' IP editor just changes a name on their first edit with no Edit summary also breaking an image, yes it does not look constructive. "I am interested in getting this right and you should be too", good and yes I am, but you seam to think you can just assert without explantation and we have to then spend more time researching to prove every random edit wrong. I did check one of the refs and it used Jack. Also many family names change over time in spelling, we get a lot of people insisting the current name is the correct historic name against the evidence, so the fact that a building is names after the daughter means little. If you had come here to say hey I think your wrong I would have been happy to help, but instead you think you can come just assert without explanation, breaking images, and then blame others for not being psychic and knowing why you just changed the article. However, I care more about correctness and I notice the VIAF Authority control has both spelling so I'll do some more digging, and if I agree I'll properly move the article to the correct name.

Almut Hintze Revision
I saw that you changed the revisions I had made on Almut Hintze's page; both of the two pieces of information are correct and verifiable however I was still looking for better source of information that would bb the most recognised. Almut Hintze's Who's Who page confirm her birthplace as Flinsbach, West Germany. The page also confirms her Marriage to Eugenio Biagini and that they have a son. Please find attached: http://www.ukwhoswho.com/view/10.1093/ww/9780199540884.001.0001/ww-9780199540884-e-284748 Thus your edit saying that these facts are unsourced was not true as the page already uses Who'sWho as reference 1. Please therefore reverse this edit.

Re Maragheh observatory
Is the word observatory not supposed to be capitalized in Maragheh observatory? The Ulugh Beg and Constantinople observatories are, is Maragheh like that because it wasn't capitalized in historical documents? Just wonderin'.
Thanks, yy958
- Hi Yy958 it depends if it's a formal name or not (see MOS:CAPS) if its just a description i.e. just the observatory at Maragheh then no as observatory is just descriptive, however if the accepted name is "Maragheh Observatory" then yes. Annoyingly sources such as UNESCO use both "Maragheh observatory" and "Maragha Observatory" on the same page. I really don't care either way, and think "Maragheh Observatory" would be fine...but some do so maybe suggest a name change on the talk page or ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse to get a consensus of others. Just be-careful on Wikipedia to no correct such things in filenames as you did, also you have to watch out for reference urls, and wiki markup (i.e. things between double square/curly brackets.)

Request on 15:54:45, 27 April 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Telmo E Silva
Our article adding our Company to Wikipedia was recently rejected. I have reviewed 12 similar companies, some competitors, and our article exceeds many of those.
I attach a few of similar companies for which an article exists and was posted by the company itself. http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Klipfolio_dashboard http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Domo_(company) http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Tableau_Software
If there is a reason why those companies were allowed to publish their wikis and ours not. Can you help me out identify the differences so that I can correct them.
Telmo Silva (talk) 15:54, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Telmo Silva as per the comment left "Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic" (see WP:42). Your submission has one source that is just a press release so not independent. Also it just reads like a company advertising itself rather than an Encyclopedic article. Lastly WP:Other stuff exists is almost never a good reason as I have only ever seen it mean the other article are deleted - in this case without reading/reviewing them I can see that they all have multiple sources. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 16:02, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
- Hi KylieTastic,
Thanks for re-stating the the reasons why you initially rejected. However I need to understand, by comparison, why other company articles are accepted and ours not, especially when:
- ) I spent considerable amount of time reading similar Articles and was under the impression that "Arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations or their products" as per WP:COMPANY. It seems this is not the case after all, as we are not being allowed to publish an Article which by comparison is less biased and is being rejected based exactly on that note.
- ) Many of the larger, similar companies that I researched prior to posting our own company page, have indeed added references to meaninglessness pages such as what are RSS feeds, some have dead links, and others links to irrelevant topics. I would hate to pollute Wikipedia with similar meaningless and erroneous references just to get an Article approved.
- ) Although some reference are independent and reliable sources they are not at all in context with what the company has to offer or does. They were added, as it seems, just to get the Article approved.
- ) None of them declare their association with the company in conflict of interest as I did - even though they read more like advertising than ClicData's page. Does it not pay to be honest when submitting articles?
- ) I will need more details in the statement "it just reads like a company advertising itself rather than an Encyclopedic article". When editing this article, I was careful to state the history of the company and its research and iterations over time. We atttempted to give a clear and full view of what this company is about and what it does. Comparing ours to a similar company article currently published "Klipfolio has built-in formula editing, allowing end-users to transform, combine, slice, and filter any data before visualizing it. Users are able to access the dashboard from their desktop, tablet, TV, and mobile phone, and share it with colleagues by granting access to the dashboard, or by scheduling email reports" which is a blatant advertisement I would need more guidance on what specifically in the article reads as an advertisement.
It feels that we are being getting punished for being honest and using Wikipedia as it should be used. Do I need to resort to the techniques used by my competitors and big companies and hire "independent" writers, referencing irrelevant articles and web sites, and adding blurbs of meaninglessness paragraphs to show some worthiness to be included? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Telmo E Silva (talk • contribs) 16:29, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Telmo E Silva, I think one point to note here is that now and for that last few years the policies and guidelines are more strict and applied more strictly. For the example you gave Klipfolio dashboard was created in 2007, Domo (company) in 2012 and Tableau Software in 2008. Klipfolio dashboard and Tableau Software would have probably both been deleted or draftified if submitted now as first created. However Tableau Software at least started with a claim of an award (although that is now a dead link). However as I said per "Other stuff exists" is not a good argument, new articles are required to meet the current guidelines, and if you think these other don't then see Wikipedia:Deletion policy to see how to propose they are deleted.
- As for "it just reads like a company advertising itself rather than an Encyclopedic article" start with the complete "Integrations" section, large lists of features is almost never acceptable. Also the "Customers" section read like a marketing statement so no surprise its very similar to the first statement on "https://www.clicdata.com/solutions/"
- "It feels that we are being getting punished for being honest" - the opposite is actually true, any new articles clearly submitted with a WP:COI with no admission are likely to be judged more harshly as many of us do not like self promotion. I can say with 100% confidence that no reviewer would accept any article with just a press release as the only source..... some may if they like the topic search out and add more sources themselves to improve then accept. However with 3000+ submissions most of us leave it to the submitters to improve. In it's current state it would be deleted from main-space if accepted and the reviewer would probably be challenged and risk loosing privileges.
- The key point here is showing WP:Notability in this case Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), with independent reliable sources. At least read the "This page in a nutshell" at the top of WP:ORG. A subject can be very important in normal everyday terms, but without independent reliable sources to show Notability will not get an article approved. If Draft:ClicData is notable, other sources should exist - so find and add them. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 17:08, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
- Hi KylieTastic,
Thanks for being more detailed.
- Here is a great example of a list of "independent" and "notable" references where ALL the links except 1 (a commercial link) are used. http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/BOARD_International
- Another example of an article where ALL the references are to themselves and their own blogs. http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Power_BI Of course we understand its Microsoft so they are notable and hence can monopolize wikipedia.
- An article where the company references its capabilities and modules: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Logi_Analytics
So much for the notable argument.
I will add more references to prove that we are as "notable" as our competitors. But it is frustrating and sad to see that had (i) I done this 5 years ago, we would not be having this talk, (ii)those with money control the information on the internet and (iii) subjective censorship is alive and well.
I hope my faith in Wikipedia and free information prevails once I add more references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Telmo E Silva (talk • contribs) 17:23, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
- Telmo E Silva we have 5.8 million articles and yes many should be improved or deleted. If you wish to improve any of these, or submit for deletion that's fine but it has nothing to do with your submission. "those with money control the information on the internet" has nothing to do with anything here, you submitted an article with only a press release to back it up, no amount of money will get that approved. Microsoft are not trying to use Wikipedia to promote their stuff here, your statements make it clear your company desires a Wikipedia presence. "subjective censorship is alive and well.", you are not censored you have most of the rest of the internet, Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia and not for promotion - no one has the right to an article here. Which is also what I told the two companies I work for who "wanted" me to make them articles.
- If you want other opinions on your article or our polices and guidelines you'll find links to the AfC Help Desk and live help on the decline note, also you can ask for help at the Wikipedia:Teahouse and/or the Wikipedia:Help desk. KylieTastic (talk) 18:35, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
- Hi KylieTastic,
You are in a position of power that controls whether my company has a place in Wikipedia which is now, for good or bad, a core part of the Internet and used by most of the world to validate information. Yes I do want my company placed there in the same way that thousands of other companies wanted and did.
I am in no position to argue with your comments which basically boil down to "they were there first, they are bigger than you and someone else approved them so you are free to go through thousands of articles and ask for them to be deleted".
I am asking you to be impartial and fair. If others have their place in Wikipedia why not ClicData?
If you believe that "Microsoft are not trying to use Wikipedia to promote their stuff here," then please explain why their article on a business application with reference to their own blogs, with entries such as "One main differentiator of the product is the ability to load custom visualizations. " are acceptable to you?
The fact that you are defending Microsoft's article which is 100% pure advertising and promotion for a commercial business application, is a sign that you are not impartial or that you did not read them for proper comparison.
The fact that you are stating senseless metrics such as "we have 5.8 million articles" proving a point that escapes me, is also a sign that I may at this point have antagonized you, which will not work in my favour to understand how I can improve my article. It has become a personal discussion to you and I apologize for that.
As such, I would ask to have someone else review the recent edits that you have not reviewed including adding 8 other references. Not quite sure how to do that but will find it through the link you sent me.
Thank you, Telmo — Preceding unsigned comment added by Telmo E Silva (talk • contribs) 18:52, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

I'd also be happy to add to information, upload images, or whatever would help to improve the page. Please advise. I don't want to spend more time on this and just see it reverted.

I have just had a quick look at the history of Phineas Baxandall see here and I cannot see any reverts to your edits. There has only been one edit since your last edit on "11 October 2018" and that was just to add a new category.

It's not a surprise that you say you are linked to the subject in question, so the key point is you need to understand our guidelines on "Conflict of interest" (see WP:COI) before making any-more edits to that article, and to note in most cases "COI editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia". I'm sure it was in good faith, but Wikipedia is an independent and neutral encyclopedia, not a place for companies to promote themselves. Companies should affect the content of there Wikipedia pages only by there actions, which be they positive or negative neutral editors should add using independent reliable sources. Hope that explains things. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 21:31, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
How to approve Wikipedia Profile
Hello KylieTastic Please Suggest me How can I approve my Wikipedia Page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Singerkirankaur (talk • contribs) 18:53, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Singerkirankaur I'm currently not very active on Wikipedia but I'll try a quick answer... I assume your talking about Draft:Kiran Kaur in which case I would suggest asking Robert McClenon as the last reviewer. I reviewed the article when it had no references at all. The standard you need to meet is Wikipedia:Notability (people) or Wikipedia:Notability (music). Have a look at the criteria they give and in general add references for any key claims such as awards. In short you need to show significant coverage in independent reliable sources to show notability. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:04, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
- User:Singerkirankaur - Have you read the autobiography policy, which strongly recommends against trying to submit an article about yourself? As both KylieTastic and I said, your draft autobiography does not satisfy musical notability. If you want more advice, please ask at the Teahouse, but they will probably advise you not to waste your time and ours trying to get your draft approved.

Hi Kylies, need help for editing Kazakhstan page
Hi, on this page http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Kazakhstan#Demographics can you change two section about the Kazakhstan page please? I cannot edit the Kazakhstan population since is semi protected page.
Number one: Can you change the population number from 15,460,484 and 17,987,736 to about 18,576,491? or over 18 million is fine. Number two: under the Kazakhstan ethnic group section, can u add a section of 2019 statistics with a population of 18,576,486? or over 18 million is fine. Here is my reference https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/kazakhstan-population
Also, if you don't mind, is that ok for you to change the Kazakhstan wikipedia page top right corner Kazakhstan population rank from 62 to 63? Here is my reference https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/population-by-country/
- Hi, please try to make less edits on users talk pages by using the preview option when editing - I got 19 emails that I had messages!
- I have updated the US Census Bureau figure to 18.9M and added the source
- I can't change the United Nations one easily as it comes from Template:UN Population and would need the data updating for all countries - I've posted a note on Template talk:UN Population saying it needs to be updated. If you want to look for a volunteer you could try asking at the Wikipedia:Teahouse - I'm too busy with real-life at the moment.
- I have updated the stat for the "Official estimates put the population of Kazakhstan" from http://stat.gov.kz to 18.459 million
- I havn't updated the Ethnic groups section because that is from the official census data, so would need the 2019 data - which does not yet to appear to have been published (has it even happened yet?) - It can be updated once the data is released.
- I have updated the population_estimate in the infobox
- I have update the population_estimate_rank to 63rd

New page reviewers typically review at random, as to be fair to the 4,000+ other submitters who have created new articles that are currently waiting for review.

John Corrigan image
I am confused about the image you deleted from the John Corrigan Wikipedia page. The permission was sent to Wikipedia permissions last week. The image is cleared. Can you undo the deletion of the image? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Curvature360 (talk • contribs) 15:36, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Curvature360, I just removed the link to the deleted image File:John Corrigan.FSU.jpg as we don't leave links to deleted files on articles. The file says it was deleted for reason "F11 No evidence of permission for more than 7 days". I'm not an admin so cannot see details of deleted files, you'll need to ask the deleting admin Fastily or at the Wikipedia:OTRS noticeboard if permission was sent in.

Deletion of picture
Dear Kylie, You have removed my new portrait picture from my entry (BOTH http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Klemens_Fischer AND http://de.wiki.x.io/wiki/Klemens_Fischer) stating there is a breach of copyright. Actually there is no breach at all. It is my picture and I have the full rights on it. The reference to my colleague Andreas Wenzel is only out of courtesy because he took the picture and he has no rights whatsoever or would claim them. Therefore, I kindly ask you to put the new picture back in place asap. Best KHF — Preceding unsigned comment added by KHFischer (talk • contribs) 14:19, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi KHFischer I only removed the red-link to the already deleted image File:Klemens H. Fischer=©AndreasWenzel-2019.jpg on English Wikipedia. You can see the two notices about the files source problem then deletion nomination and the editors who made them on your own talk page. It was then the administrator Fastily who then deleted the file. As I can not see the image or source declarations made I can't comment on the actual file. I did nothing to the German Wikipedia version of the article. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 14:48, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
Revert at Bad Boys for Life
Hello!
Was this revert really correct? There are posters for most movies on en.w. Why should this one be an exception?Jonteemil (talk) 03:44, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Jonteemil, the file File:Bad Boys for Life logo.jpg does not exist - images must be uploaded (see WP:Uploading images) copyright allowing - or in this case a poster would have to be uploaded as "Fair use" as WP:Non-free content. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:09, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oh, my bad. I saw that File:BadBoys3Poster.png was orphaned and checked the article’s history where you had removed a picture.

I’ve added the orphaned movie cover with the correct file name now.Jonteemil (talk) 12:01, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Sharon Tate revert
Ms Tate is credited in the "The Giant Jackrabbit" episode, but absolutely does not appear at any time. Your reversion may be warranted based on the fact that my correction was made too quickly and is not the one the still is taken from, but your attribution (unless this is a publicity still not in the actual episode) is flat-out wrong and should be corrected or deleted. TheCryingofLot49 (talk) 20:41, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi TheCryingofLot49 well you would need a very good source for that, it sounds extremely suspect that that she is credited but does not appear! I see from the this @5:57 she is credited as playing "Janet Trego", and http://www.sharontate.net/filmography.html also lists her as playing as "(1962) Beverly Hillbillies, The" playing "Janet Trego" in episode: "Giant Jackrabbit, The" (episode # 2.16) 1/8/1964, also listed on IMDB. Maybe your looking at an edited/censored version... I notice that this copy @14:50 removed the scene that screenshot was taken from. This copy has an extra scene 6:50-7:45... Regards KylieTastic (talk) 21:05, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
It's not in the full episode, but certainly IS in the 2nd clip you link to. I stand corrected. TheCryingofLot49 (talk) 22:53, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Undone revision to U-KISS image
Hi Kylie,
Thanks for patrolling changes.
Unfortunately, I was unable to upload that image because I don't own the copyright, which is why I tried to insert it and embed the Non-Free Use Template.
I noticed after publishing that change, the image wasn't visible and clicking the link to it generated this error message:
Permission error You do not have permission to upload this file, for the following reason: The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Autoconfirmed users, Administrators, Confirmed users.
Will I be able to insert it if I wait 4 days to become an Autoconfirmed User, or is it possible for you to grant me access as a Confirmed User now?

- Hi BusinessMon ah so it's a promotional thing not just vandalism (apart from this). Even so the name is not officially changing, and as far as I can see from sources such as this it's amounts to little but a single sign and some press coverage. As far as any official body, or anyone outside looking up the town or referencing it will only know/care about the real name. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a promotional tool for a "High School fall production". Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 17:18, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

- Grognon1337, I can not view that link apart from the summary on google but I very much doubt it is proof or indication of anything official. Neither the city website or even facebook page have been changed. It appears as just a promotion stunt, not an Encyclopedic issue. It appears to be limited to press coverage and the City of Neenah sign off highway 41 and Winneconne Avenue. KylieTastic (talk) 20:28, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

The only edit I made was to remove the invalid image (this edit) so I have not deleted your contributions. We discussed the images in 2013 now archived here in the section "Photos for the Egyptian Exchange". With a quick look at the article history it looks like the now blocked editor Jytdog removed all or some of your edits with these edits.

Gallery fixes at the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL page
Ahoy, User:KylieTastic! What did you do to fix those two galleries at the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL page? They went inexplicably wonky when I converted awkwardly placed (and overabundant for the amount of copy in their sections) thumbs. Every other one, for whatever reason. I know there is a bug in the wiki code that comes up sometimes when one drags-and-drops plain text for an image (which then converts it into weird strings of words, numbers, and symbols withlots/of%239numbers&this&kind%of%stuff), but in the past I could get past that by going back to a previous iteration of the page (or the image's page at Commons) and doing a simple copy of the exact same text as originally displayed, then pasting that in. But it didn't work this time. For the life of me I could not see any difference between the syntax for the gallery images that appeared appropriately and those that did not. So I just let it go like that, trusting someone like yourself would shortly sort it out. I don't normally do that, but I felt this time it would work out. Thanks! Yours, Wikiuser100 (talk) 22:24, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Wikiuser100, happy to help out - it was just the trailing pipes '|' at the end of the line that for some reason was mucking up the formatting. I don't think such a thing should have confused it, but it's too late to start bug hunting Module:Gallery now (plus that's my day job and there is only so much code I can stare at). All the Best KylieTastic (talk) 22:33, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
Just for the record, I copied and adapted that particular gallery syntax from here, which is chock full of trailing pipes: Jaguar_Mark_2#Body Go figger. Yours, Wikiuser100 (talk) 22:40, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Wikiuser100, the trailing pipes in Jaguar_Mark_2#Body just effectively create blank captions but you can't have extra ones after the captions which you had with your images. So the format is | File: filename | caption so if you have no caption it looks like it needs a trailing pipe, but its really just a blank caption. So in the case of Jaguar_Mark_2#Body if you removed the trailing pipes images disappear. hope that makes sense KylieTastic (talk) 22:52, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Perfect sense. Something that would elude a non-programmer, who just copied what was there and then slavishly duplicated on the 300 SL page, confounded that it did not work. I'm not even going to try to figure out why if a trailing pipe following a caption causes no image only on every other one. That is what was so maddening. Yours, Wikiuser100 (talk) 10:50, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
I wonder ...
I have always assumed, on the basis of your user name, that you are female, but it is not unheard of for people to use pseudonyms of the opposite sex. You do not have your sex set in your preferences, nor can I find anything on your user page about the matter. Are you willing to satisfy my curiosity, or is it a closely guarded secret? JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 22:02, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hey JBW, well the drunken source of my name is on my user page and relates to Kylie Minogue not me personally. I was never intentionally a secret, more that as a humanist I'd not been bothered by someone's sex, gender, ethnicity online for a long time - people are people. I've always been amused that some assume female, some male, and others do the weird "he/she" thing rather than "they". It has however given me an insight into how people interact differently when assuming either way... the worst being how the worst editors choose to be abusive in edits/emails such as do they say I should be raped, or my sister/mother (hence new editors can no longer email me). I've not liked some of the gender politics about here. So although it did not start as a secret these days I choose to stay deliberately neutral as I believe it has no value and only negative side affects. We have good and bad editors... not male and female editors. Sorry to disappoint. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:30, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Actually, far from disappointing me, that answer was far more interesting than a straight "I'm male" or "I'm female" would have been, and far more informative too. Obviously it doesn't inform me whether you are male or female, but it does inform me of several other things which are actually more important and more interesting. I asked the question purely out of interest, and not because I thought the answer mattered at all. In fact for many years I never said anything which indicated what my sex was, for similar reasons to those you mention. Most people assumed I was male, probably on the basis of my previous user name, but that was a pseudonym, and no more significant than George Eliot. For some reason at some time I decided to set my sex in my preferences. I don't remember why, and it went totally against my general policy of not mentioning facts about myself that I thought was not relevant to my Wikipedia editing. (Thus, for example, I have never indicated anywhere on Wikipedia what my views are on politics or religion, or how old I am, or what race or colour I am, or what my sexuality is. Irrelevant information.) I am surprised by your reference to abusive emails, as I have either never had any of those, despite having pissed off innumerable people over the years in various ways, or else I have had very few, and none recently, so that I have forgotten them. Abusive talk page posts, yes, many of them, but not emails. I don't know why your experience and mine should be different in that respect. JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 21:29, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- @JBW: it was only a couple of emails (before I changed my preferences to block new editors) and I don't remember the details as it was a long time ago - nothing compared to the amount of talk/user page abusive, and that is still not a lot in the grand scale of things. As you say most personal labels are mainly irrelevant - Judge people on their actions. All the Best KylieTastic (talk) 23:15, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Draft:AniRena
Hi, thanks for reviewing my wiki post. I wonder though, cause wikipedia has allowed a other page ( http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Nyaa_Torrents ) to be added as well, which was made by one of the owners of the Nyaa.si website (DAIZ). I'm the owner of AniRena, and hence the source comes directly from me. What kind of reference do you need in order to allow the history page to be posted, or could you give me some tips on what could or should be rewritten to follow the guidelines ? It's the first time I actually create a wiki page, so I'm a bit unknown in this territory. Thanks ! I forgot to login when I posted this. This was Power2All2019, thanks !

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

Airbrushed out founder members
Why have you airbrushes out the Founder Members if Oxford Polytechnic Boat Club? If it wasn’t for myself and the Founders it might never have got off the ground. I might add that had it not been for me, almost single handedly borrowing boats, trailers and equipment it might never have happened.
I’d be grateful if you corrected it PlutoJeep (talk) 23:15, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
OBUBC was founded by a group of enthusiastic school rowers (Nick Ryan, Russell Cook, Alasdair Davies, Hadyn Morris) in 1978 as the Oxford Polytechnic Boat Club (OPBC), where it was given its first home with Oxford Falcon Rowing and Canoeing Club and begun to enter competitions as a composite Polytechnic/Falcon crew. In its infancy, the club was led by Nick Ryan, as the inaugural Captain of Boats (1978–80) and President (1981). Other founding members included Clive Couldwell, Martin Durgan, David Cooke, and Charles Stimpson. PlutoJeep (talk) 23:15, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hi PlutoJeep, Wikipedia requires sourced information, many people just like to add false information or big up themselves - this is an encyclopedia not social media or your CV. Note that as the history section is completely unsourced anyone is within the policies to remove it completely. If sources exist please add them, however please note our policy on Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 23:22, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
Airbrushed Founders
It’s a matter of fact not some idle request for a CV. Were you present at the start up of the club? No, you were not! Perhaps you’d like to offer some evidence to the contrary? The information you carelessly removed, and which was provided by an original member, has been corroborated by myself as 100% correct. You appear to suggest that unless it’s somehow documented elsewhere then it’s incorrect- thereby posing the question how can you corroborate anything if your initial premise is only documents which themselves would have had no way of corroboration! PlutoJeep (talk) 07:24, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- PlutoJeep, your correct I wasn't "present at the start up of the club", and you claim you were, and both have no relevance as that's not how Wikipedia works. The guidelines do not mean that unsourced information is incorrect, just that it is not verifiable (WP:V) either way. As for your last point, you are correct not all documents are valid reliable sources (WP:RS) - so a blog or random website making the claim would not be reliable, but say a newspaper, student newspaper, University website , boating website, etc would be. Even though primary sources are not great, for some information they are good enough so if clubs own website had a history section to verify any of the information that would help. As you have been to University the concepts of verifiability and citing sources I would have thought should be concepts you understand. If you wish to get other editors inputs you could ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse or Wikipedia:Help desk. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 10:15, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
Seminole Middle School
Hi kylie,
I was wondering about why you rejected my article on Draft:Seminole_Middle_School_(Pinellas_County). I am new to Wikipedia, and I was a student at that school, so I'm writing from my past experiences. I was wondering why the Seminole_High_School_(Pinellas_County,_Florida) article was published and mine isn't. What are the main differences? Thanks for more detailed information. --Timbot4x4 (talk) 23:44, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Timbot4x4, as the declines notices have said it does not yet show it is notable by current Wikipedia guidelines (see WP:NSCHOOL and WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES). Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. You only have one source, and none independent. Secondly Seminole High School (Pinellas County, Florida) was created in 2005 before Wikipedias current guidelines, but in its current state it does have a few more sources, and notable alumni. However under current guidelines someone count remove all the unsourced content and/or nominate for deletion. See Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. Also remember Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia not a place for every subject to have a page, that's what social media is for. So look for any information with sources to add. Are there official government ratings? Also add content on news stories, a quick google "Seminole+Middle+School"&oq="Seminole+Middle+School" finds a few.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.185.163.80 (talk) 18:15, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi, I guess you mean Draft:Kibistone which complete fails to pass WP:Notability or Wikipedia:Notability (music). The YouTube channel only has 515 subscribers and the most views on any video is 81K with most under 1K views. "Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic" (see WP:42) - so if any such sources exist you need to add them, not links to YouTube videos. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 18:24, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
perhaps rather than just declining it, it might be appropriate to use Speedy G11 -- or at least to Reject. (just my opinion--I know each AFCH reviewer does things a little differently) DGG ( talk ) 06:48, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi DGG, I don't reject first submits as I see it as unnecessarily harsh and bitey. Certainly it could have been a speedy, and any other namespace I would have, but I worry less than some about left over junk in draft as does it really mater and the huge backlog is a much more pressing issue. Surely you can delete as G11 without someone else tagging first if you think it fits. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:49, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Grasarlia
I was trying to make an article about a new color (Grasarlia), but I'm wondering if I should scrap it because it's not something that already exists that I'm writing an article about, it's something new that I thought I could put on here for the world to see.
P.S. I know I sound incredibly silly but :)
- Hi Grasarlia, yes I'd just drop it - Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for subjects that are already notable and have reliable sources to show that it is. So I'd stick to social media, or sites like the Urban Dictionary for now. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:15, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

What happened to the YAAS deletion tag? I don't mind if the article is deleted, but there doesn't seem to have been any discussion...? kencf0618 (talk) 14:06, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi kencf0618, there would not necessarily have been any discussion as it was flagged as promotion (I cant remember what it actually was though). The tag could have been challenged on the talk page, or as probably was the case the admin deleted before any. See the page logs for the deletion. It was then redirected see here. As per the notice on your talk page the last sentence says to contact the deleting admin if you disagree. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 14:32, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

appealing a draft refusal
There has been a need for the splitting off of an article from the impeachment investigation article, as it is too long and the vote on impeachment itself before the full House is next week. The subject is obiously notable, and votes in both the Judiciary committee and the full House, not to mention the trial in the Senate, just doesn't fit. So please reconsider.Arglebargle79 (talk) 11:26, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Arglebargle79, as the subject is clearly notable it is not really an "Articles for creation" issue. I would suggest that you start a discussion on the talk page of the current article Talk:Impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump especially as the subject is under current arbitration remedies (see talk page notice). You can point your draft in your suggestion. Due to the nature of the subject I'm sure there will be a diverse set of opinions, so it's important to get a consensus. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 11:43, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- There already was one. That's why I submitted it. Arglebargle79 (talk) 11:59, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- Oh I see, then it is definitely not an AfC issue and would have been redirected, or sent to WP:AFD immediately. So you can either accept the consensus, or if you think things have changed carry on the discussion. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 12:09, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

As we currently have 3,600+ drafts waiting for review I am focussing on those rather than individual articles. However you could ask for help/advice at the project for films articles Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film, or at Wikipedia:Teahouse for general advice - but starting with Wikipedia:Notability (films) is important as that is the standard that is applied.

Jim Walden's page, update
Hi Kylie,
Thanks so much for editing Jim Walden's page. I've been trying to follow the correct procedures and writing styles to make some important updates since March but my edits were sent back to me twice, once by Benjamin Mako Hill and again by Scope Creep. I'm afraid though I hit "resubmit" on the last edit I did 45 days ago, I still didn't have a response until you just made some edits today, so THANK YOU!
I followed all of the suggestions from the two editors precisely so am hoping this is close to being approved and moved on to the live, existing page for Jim Walden.
If you have any other suggested changes I am happy to make them all if you could review my edits and approve them for publication. Please just let me know whatever I need to do. Thanks very, very much!
Best, --J-Pac-brooklyn (talk) 19:49, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi J-Pac-brooklyn happy to help with the little tidy I did, however Draft:Jim Walden was not actually resubmitted since Scope creeps decline on the 14 August 2019. It was .mau. that submitted it today and then i noticed it as a new submit (see the history). I only saw one decline and none from Benjamin Mako Hill so I guess that makes you also Walden, Macht & Haran and there was no previous reject as it was edits you made to Jim Walden (lawyer) which were reverted. Note that using multiple accounts is not allowed (see Wikipedia:Sock puppetry) - however if it was because you lost the login etc that's OK but you should declare on your user page. Also being Walden, Macht & Haran clearly shows a Wikipedia:Conflict of interest with the subject. I didn't realise, and probably the other reviewers didn't, that this was a suggested additions for Jim Walden (lawyer). I've left a note on the new draft and the other editor mentions will notify the involved parties, but for now it's late and I've drunk too much to do any serious edits so I'll leave it to other to review.

- Hi KylieTastic! I was contacted by a friend of J-Pac-brooklyn who asked me what happened with that voice. I am not an expert in the procedures in en.wiki (I mainly edit in it.wiki, which uses a different procedure for COI), but looking at the chronology of the draft I gathered that J-Pac-brooklyn did the modifications required for the article but forgot to submit it. Thus I hit the "Submit" button, so that editors may check whether the modification are ok or not. Actually I didn't even know who Jim Walden is, and so I cannot judge whether the original or the amended versions are ok (or even relevant). I explained to J-Pac-brooklyn's friend how to put the COI notices on her user page and in the Jim Walden article (these I cannot do for her!) but probably without success. As for sockpuppets, I was told that she created the present account in order to comply with the "no firm name" directive, and indeed this seems to be the case: all information subsequent to August was inserted by J-Pac-brooklyn. --.mau. ✉ 11:05, 17 December 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by .mau.

Dear Kylie and Scope Creep - thank you very much for looking at the draft. Mau's description of the events is correct. I created J-pac-Brooklyn in order to comply with the rules and made all the edits that were suggested by both Benjamin Mako Hill and Scope Creep in a brand new draft submitted through this new and compliant account. I have added the COI template to all of the relevant talk pages that relate to this draft. If I have not done this correctly, please know that it's because I don't have a ton of experience with Wikipedia (in fact barely any except as a reader) but I am really trying in good faith. Here is the corrected draft that was submitted by my compliant J-Pac-Brooklyn user account: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Draft:Jim_Walden
I have been very careful about following all of your notes and suggestions. I'd really appreciate someone having a look and considering publishing it to the live article page for Jim Walden. I've worked hard to comply with all the policies and all the edit requests. Very grateful for all your help. Thanks!! --J-Pac-brooklyn (talk) 00:33, 18 December 2019 (UTC) J-Pac-Brooklyn
- Hi J-Pac-brooklyn, just a quick reply as I'm back at work and other 'real-life' things. I think it's clear from your actions you've been acting in good faith and trying to do the right thing - so thanks. All though it's always difficult for anyone with a COI to write completely neutrally, so it will need careful checking. I don't have the time at the moment and have a lot of other work both here and in real life to get done, and to be honest such biographies are not in my areas of interest. The draft is still awaiting review, and you've added the comment to the existing articles talk page so I'm sure it will be picked up at some point. There are currently over 3700 reviews awaiting so it could take some time as we just don't have enough active reviewers for the submission rate. However someone could pick it up whenever, someone from Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography etc. may take an interest. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 10:28, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
Bitter Mr. Brownie - article submission
Can I know in plain English not braggadocios legal gibberish of why an article is rejected and what needs to be done to fix it... --Wikidevster (talk) 05:31, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Wikidevster, just a quick answer as I'm at work. BTW great word "braggadocios". The main thing is to have independent references to show its 'notable' which means it meets one or more of the criteria we have for articles. At the moment your only source just shows it exists, not that it is a noteworthy subject. For albums the list of basic criteria can be found at WP:NALBUMS - if the subject meets one of the 7 criteria, find one or more sources to show that and add them. Hope that helps KylieTastic (talk) 10:34, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

- Hi Strongmantle, all articles must be notable by the guidelines - in this case Wikipedia:Notability is most suitable. So this basically means you require significant coverage in independent reliable sources. You currently have 3 sources: the first is partly a shop (so promotional) so not great, the second does not mention the subject, the third appears to be a dead link and again a shop so promotional rather than encyclopedic. You need to see if you can find any better sources, if not then it may just be too soon or the subject is just not notable. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 20:13, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Problem with the "Portuguese People" article
I have made an edition changing the words of a phrase and adapting them to the source that it has attached (Because the previous phrase differed from the source), in addition, I added two more sources of a scientific nature. The user Melroross is systematically erasing the scientific sources even though they are reliable, and the words of my edition are literally the express meaning of those scientific sources.

Also the claims that you are biased as your location is Spain works the other way with the other involved editor appearing to be Portuguese. Your doing the correct thing seeking outside opinion so I would consider asking at the Wikipedia:Help desk or look at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.

I have tried to speak calmly on Talk about the subject on matter exposing my arguments and fragments literally extracted from the source, but Melroross doesnt seem to want to dialogue anything and is acting in a disrespectful way, maintaining his accusative attitude with an apparent contempt for the Spaniards.
I have serious doubts about whether Melroross is acting in good faith.

- Hi NormanGear I agree they are making assumptions and accusations based of nothing but an IP location. Certainly missing the points of Assume good faith (WP:AFG) and Civility (WP:CIVIL), I was just about to change the section title back when you did. I hope that another editor or more notices and can help resolve. Unfortunately this time of year a lot of people are busy or travelling so it may not be quick. It may be too soon to go the Dispute resolution path but it is an option, another would be to ask for help at Wikipedia:Teahouse or Wikipedia:Help desk so the issue may be looked by an experienced editor or admin. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 12:09, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you very much for the information, I don't know much about Wikipedia and I don't know very well how the procedures are done.
Melroross is now making disruptive edits again, now it has not only deleted much of my comments, but also yours. He has no intention of talking and reaching a consensus, and is doing everything possible so that no one can give his opinion or proposal, and of course he continue using an inappropriate language. NormanGear (talk • contribs) 20:25, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi NormanGear they appear to not be able to see they are doing everything they accuse you of being. Normally you hope for others to join in which brings a balance, but unfortunately not this time, and I really don't want to get involved when I don't believe they will listen to anything that's said. This unfortunately is looking like something people would take to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents (WP:ANI) as only administrators (or higher) have the ability to deal with someone who wont converse. So you have the choice to just leave it, comment on the admins page they just dumped the protection request on or bring it to the attention of others: either at the previous links to the help desks, or to WP:ANI. You've certainly had one of the most unpleasant starts to Wikipedia editing I've seen, and as much as I don't like bullying and false accusations in the end sometimes it's better to just WP:DISENGAGE for your own happiness.

There is terrible confusion here. The three pictures are correctly referenced in the text and in the caption to the first one. A bot has mistakenly deleted two of them. Petergans (talk) 10:55, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Petergans, the bot wasn't mistaken as it does not actually delete images, it just removes links to deleted files. If you see the edit summaries of the bot it says that Explicit deleted them. As I'm not an administrator I cannot see the deleted files to comment - the best bet is to leave Explicit a message asking them about it, and providing any source. If I understand you correctly the source is in the caption of the first image on the article, but that would not have been obvious on the file - each file needs the source.

User:Siregars14/sandbox
Hi kylie,
You have rejected the article I wrote on my father, the late Sofjan S. Siregar. I can't understand why I am not entitled to write something about him. If not I, who else? He was a man who achieved much in life and had impact on the community and society he lived in. Many people are looking for his data and information. Therefore I would like to accommodate the need for information about him. If you wish for references, I am working on it. I intend to create an article such that in the coming period, acquaintances and relatives can add/edit information in the article. As you can see, I have already tried to include references to existing Wikipedia urls. I kindly ask you to provide me with actionable information, to enable me to publish the article as soon as possible. As for myself, creation of a new article in Wikipedia is something new. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Siregars14 (talk • contribs) 22:03, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Siregars14 sorry to hear that you have lost you father relatively recently, I'll try to explain why I declined the article. Wikipedia has a set of guidelines for notability (WP:N) that define the criteria for all new articles. In this case Wikipedia:Notability (people) and/or WP:GNG. Articles need to be written using independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS), so not the personal knowledge of you, acquaintances or relatives. Sorry but Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia and is not for people to write obituaries. Writing about people you know is strongly discouraged (WP:Conflict of interest) as its extremely difficult to write with a WP:neutral point of view. I think you'll find facebook or a personal website a better place to do this. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 11:49, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
Draft: A Zimmer
Kylie, thank you for reviewing this draft. I had thought we had properly formatted the references as everything appeared to look ok in the preview form and links worked, and I want to make sure there is nothing else I need to fix to get it to the next step. If there is nothing else that needs correcting as far as the bones of the piece, and I have ample references and source material both from his own published work and places like The New York Times, how would you recommend I expedite this to become a live page? Thank you for any advice you can offer. JWikman (talk) 04:08, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi JWikman the references as you had them were fine and functional and compared to many first attempts well done. Often references are not included or dumped at the top or bottom. However urls are what we call 'bare urls' and if a website changes it's format later on it can be difficult to find the information again. So we have templates to add extra details to the links that helps this problem as well as making the reference section clearer. See Help:Referencing for beginners for more information. I have a tool that help do the tidy-up quite quickly. I did not do a full review as it would have then been accepted or declined, I was just doing a quick pass of new submissions for anything we need to reject quickly (abuse, copyright issues etc) or articles that are easy quick accepts and/or fall in my areas of interest. Otherwise articles need to be fully read and references checked which you can understand takes time. However I can see there is an issue you can address, there are sections and claims that are unsourced (or not clear which source applies). Although in theory all information should be sourced, if a subject is deemed notable it would be accepted if most was sourced. However the last two sections have no sources, as well as some other statements. So my advise would to add some more references for those sections, and if the references are just bare urls that's fine we have lots of editors that tweak such thing. Note we do have 3,800+ article currently waiting review so it could be a long or short wait for a full review. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 12:12, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
- I saw that the first ref also covers the "Career and Research" section so added. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 12:23, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
Bristol Bears
Hi I recently updated a few Bristol Besar rugby players using some of my own photos, but these have been taken down. I dont believe that this should have happened. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgesergeant (talk • contribs) 14:44, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Georgesergeant see your talk page on commons c:User_talk:Georgesergeant for the reasons. KylieTastic (talk) 14:48, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
Hello. I'm sure that you were applying Wikipedia policy correctly, and that a single publication in a major French newspaper was not sufficient to establish notability. And then I did as I was supposed to, and found several more publications. In the meantime, @Xaviertian: simply created the page, with no publications cited. I'm not sure this is how Wikipedia page creation is supposed to work. In any case, a frustrating exercise for me, that I will not wish to repeat. MyPOV (talk) 10:02, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi MyPOV well lets start by agreeing yes that really sucks, also that no one should ever create an article with no sources at all. For many subjects I would just flag this for a speedy delete but as it probably will be notable in the near future that may be declined (I'm not sure) - or it could be move to draft as WP:TOOSOON but the draft already exists. I don't think I seen such a case before. The few admins I thought to ask directly all appear to not be active, it being Christmas not so surprising, and in fact I'm out for most of the rest of the day. I have posted on out Articles for creation talk page for advice, or action on this. There are always new situations and polices to learn I guess! Anyway I hope this gets resolved so you can get credit for the work you have done (although I haven't actually fully reviewed it yet). All the best KylieTastic (talk) 11:33, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hey MyPOV hopefully you have seen the issue has been resolved and your draft is the accepted version, with a tweak or two from the stub that was. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 23:29, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
Draft:VFL wastewater treatment technology
I have question about this Draft:VFL wastewater treatment technology, because you wrote that the part with technology description is a full copy of http://www.vflholding.com/treatment-process/, which is right... but how should I describe a technology process with my own words, when it is needed to have an exact technological description? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomas81j (talk • contribs) 15:42, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Tomas81j paraphrasing is one of the hardest skills in any case, and yes it would be way harder when dealing with technological description. So in general it's not OK just to do minor tweaks as that would still be WP:Close paraphrasing and thus still count as a copyright violation. Normally the key is to gather multiple sources, read them all and then write fresh based of all sources at the same time. So the first thing is don't worry about describing the process in detail, summaries what it is and why it is new, or better - i.e. a description and features. However the bigger issue would be is this topic notable (See WP:N) - articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. Wikipedia is not a place for new subjects to be promoted. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 14:49, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

i still didn't get how my recent draft get rejected again. The first reason was that it was promotional , but i tried my best to delete it. Then i couldn't get why my article is not suitable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evan Tobias Tanoni (talk • contribs) 14:48, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Evan Tobias Tanoni I did not see your second creation so I cannot rally comment - however see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for why such "editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia". If you want more information ask the editor who nominated it the second time, or the administrator who deleted it both times and just left that last warning on your talk page.

JO1
Thank you for reviewing the page. I was just wondering on what I should to do to make the article accepted? The group is still scheduled to debut on 2020 so I can't include discographies on the page. The group has already have the japanese article in wikipedia (http://ja.wiki.x.io/wiki/JO1). Do you have any suggestions to add? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krissy18 (talk • contribs) 15:31, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Krissy18, each language of Wikipedia has different rules, and in general the smaller (less articles) the less rules. I don't know the rules Japanese Wikipedia uses as all I have done there is remove some cross-wiki vandalisim. Here on English Wikipedia all subjects have to be notable (WP:N) which generally means having significant coverage in independent reliable sources to show notability. For some subjects there are additional criteria that can help, in this case WP:BAND, but as a new band these are unlikely. So for now an article would not be an encyclopedic article about a notable subject, but more promotional to gain notability. So just a case of WP:TOOSOON — I would just add to the article as new information/sources come out and then once the amount of notability they have is significant would be the time to re-submit.

Draft: JameirKGolden Help
Hello KylieTastic,
Recently a reviewer declined a submission article i've been co-editing on and didn't offer much help or comment's as to why it was specifically not accepted other then adding the two templates one stating "not adequately showing reliable sources" and the other stating "the subject doesn't qualify for a wikipedia article" So I wanted to know if maybe you had spare time and could help contribute or provide some additional help or additional feedback that could help us out because I believe the subject at hand does at least qualify or meet standards for a wikipedia page such as him gaining the interest of Major Record Labels due his song reaching over half a million streams. Chad neguyen (talk) 23:55, 30 December 2019 (UTC) Chad Nguyen
- Hi Chad neguyen sorry I'm very sick at the moment and have no energy for Wikipedia, you should contact the reviewer for more advice, or use the link on the decline notice to the "AfC Help Desk", or ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse where lots of edits try to help.
