No Consensus on Article Hannah Ryder

I created this article and watched it nominated, reedited to suit the NPOV Notability policy,. but that was not enough for the closure to Keep . one of the discussant in the Relist discussions hammered on the article improvements. I am confused about this No Consensus closure and where it leaves the article? Gold Junior (talk) 05:28, 5 June 2024 (UTC) Gold Junior (talk) 06:10, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Response to Decline Notice

Thank you for the detailed feedback on the draft titled Draft:Vaibhav_Palhade. I have carefully reviewed the comments and have made substantial revisions to address the concerns raised.

1. Enhanced Notability: I have added additional references that provide significant coverage of Vaibhav Palhade in published, reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject. These new sources better demonstrate his notability and impact.

2. Updated References: The references have been thoroughly reviewed and updated to ensure they meet Wikipedia's guidelines for reliability and independence. I have included sources that offer more in-depth coverage of his work and achievements.

3. Adhered to Guidelines: I have ensured that the draft aligns with the notability guidelines and other relevant Wikipedia policies.

I believe these changes address the issues raised in the previous review. Please consider the updated draft for resubmission. Thank you for your assistance and guidance.

Subject: Seeking Guidance on Writing About a Talented Software Engineer

Message:

Dear Maliner,

I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out to seek your guidance on writing an article about a close friend of mine who is an exceptionally talented software engineer. He has made significant contributions in his field, and I want to highlight his achievements and skills effectively.

Could you please advise me on the best approach to structure the article? Specifically, I'm interested in understanding how to:

1   Start with an engaging introduction that captures his essence.
2  Highlight his key achievements and projects.
3 Convey his impact on the industry or community.
4 Balance technical details with readability for a broader audience.

Your insights would be greatly appreciated as I want to do justice to his talents through my writing.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon

Hello Maliner:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Question from Blue nutcracker (20:47, 27 September 2024)

Hi! Nice to meet you! I recently wrote this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sae_Maeda and was wondering if you could take a look and help me improve it or provide some tips so I can improve my editing? Also, I posted this on the talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sae_Maeda#Picture_needed I would really like to find a nice picture for the infobox as the page doesn't look very appealing without one. Edit: Do you have any tips for finding good images? I'm really struggling.

Also, a second page I recently created https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mariko_Sasaki was moved to a draft space. I was using only one source at the time so looks like it was moved due to notability issues. I added more sources to the page and resubmitted it for publication, but I haven't heard back yet. I left a comment in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Dance#Help_with_Draft:Mariko_Sasaki wikiproject of dance asking for tips, and have actually left a few comments there but it seems like the project doesn't have much activity, so I am not sure how to get someone to take a look at the page and maybe get it reviewed? Would you know of any other avenues? I also welcome any tips and suggestions for that page or my editing practices in general. Thanks for being my mentor! --Blue nutcracker (talk) 20:47, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

@Blue nutcracker I have sent Sae Maeda to draft space as it lacks adequate sources. Maliner (talk) 14:29, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Perhaps it's because you're very busy, but my impression of our interaction so far is I came asking for questions and looking for guidance from my officially assigned mentor, and in return I got no answers or guidance on any of my questions and instead my article I worked so hard on was moved to draft space, and now I have no idea what's wrong with the sources or how to fix them to get my article republished again. It's pretty discouraging :( Blue nutcracker (talk) 16:13, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

@Blue nutcracker I see nearly all of your articles were sent to draft space because they were not meeting our policy of WP:N. Please go through it and make appropriate changes for your drafts. Your aspersion is clearly baseless here, as I have provided you with the detailed response both in my move summaries and on your talk page. You are my mentee; that does not mean that I will accept your substandard articles. I will suggest you take some time to read our basic policies before creating mainspace articles. Please use WP:AFC next time. Also, don't forget to check Help: Your first article. Good luck! Maliner (talk) 16:38, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you and I sincerely apologize. I let my frustration get the best of me. Just the fact that you're taking the time out of your day to respond is something I should learn to appreciate. Also, I didn't see your move summaries which may contain all the information I was looking for. They must be in the page history somewhere, I will go check it out and also all of the references you provided which are plenty and I need to just buckle down and read and not be lazy about it if I expect to produce good quality articles. From now on I will use the articles for creation process, I wasn't aware it existed which is why I just published the article like that. I'll also be sure to leave you a query here in case you'd like to provide some more feedback. Thanks again and I hope my momentary frustration didn't ruin your day. I will do better. Pinky promise! Blue nutcracker (talk) 16:49, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Replying to your queries raised on your talk, You have cited interviews and the sources lacking Sigcov about the subject. Interviews do not count for notability. Other than this you have cited this online shop which fails WP:RS. Maliner (talk) 16:51, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

@Blue nutcracker No worries. Thanks for understanding. Maliner (talk) 16:52, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Oh hey I had some questions about this btw. The online shop you mentioned is actually the website of the british Royal Ballet, which is Sae's dance company. I thought that her workplace would be a reliable source to report on her career. It isn't? Regarding the interviews, I had no idea that they don't count for notability. That's very useful info. Is it that the dancers need to have some sort of biopic or biography written about them for it to count for notability? Or is it that the interviews are not significantly covering her career and so they don't count for notability? I was planning on creating wikipedia articles for some first soloists in the royal ballet that i'm interested in. I assumed that they're notable because they usually have titular roles in famous ballet performances and are a step away from becoming principal dancers, and have usually earned several prizes and achievements already. But I could be wrong that this is notable enough for wikipedia? Blue nutcracker (talk) 15:03, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

@Blue nutcracker Notable websites do not mean that they will be reliable in context. In this particular case,  this online shop is not reliable as it is not written by an established subject matter expert as far as I can see. Even if you consider it reliable, it will be primary with reference to the subject as she is connected with it. So it will not be counted towards notability. If you want to understand notability properly, please go through the above links I have mentioned. Good luck! Maliner (talk) 16:06, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Administrator Elections: Call for Candidates

Administrator Elections | Call for Candidates

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Call for candidates.

Here is the schedule:

• October 8–14 - Candidate sign-up (we are here)
• October 22–24 - Discussion phase
• October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

• The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
• Prospective candidates are advised to become familar with the community's expectations of adminstrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
• The process will have a one week call for candidates phase, a one week pause to set up SecurePoll, a three-day period of public discussion, followed by 7 days of no public discussion and a private vote using SecurePoll.
• The outcomes of this process are identical to making requests for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA or administrator elections.
• Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

To avoid sending too many messages, this will be the last mass message sent about administrator elections. If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

Notice of noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrative action review regarding an action which you performed. Thank you. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 01:38, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Administrator Elections: Discussion phase

Administrator Elections | Discussion phase

The discussion phase of the October 2024 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

• October 22–24 - Discussion phase
• October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
• November 1–? - Scrutineering phase

During October 22–24, we will be in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages will open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Discussion phase.

On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.
