Thank you! Is it appropriate to add to this article that a commenter on IMDb wrote "I keep my old VCR just so I can re-watch this" in 2020? Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 01:04, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. IMDb is not considered a reliable source, because it's a wiki. — Diannaa (talk) 14:32, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Daniel-Ryan Spaulding (September 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by S0091 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Interviews, what he says or has written are primary sources so cannot be used to establish notability. The Culture Fix is a weak source because they are a freelance site and there's no named author. The Berliner I would count toward notability but need a couple more reputable sources that have covered him in some depth. S0091 (talk) 19:31, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Daniel-Ryan Spaulding and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Tracy Schorn (September 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by S0091 were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

In Her World, Getting Cheated On Makes You a ‘Chump’ is mostly based on what she says, Everyone’s Breaking Up, but Nobody’s Bitter: What’s Going On? is a quote as is the Toronto Star and The New Yorker is a brief mention. There's mention of criticism in one of the NYT pieces but those sources are not included and there's only a brief mention in the draft's content.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and appreciation

Hello. I responded to a comment you made on WT:WIR and a few other editors pointed out that I might have been somewhat harsh, especially given you were a new editor. I took a look and - you are a new editor, of only three months! And yet - you've done absolutely amazing work in those three months, multiple well written articles, and even getting blocked! (Which may not seem like a desirable achievement, but is certainly an achievement! Especially in surviving it, and continuing to do good work!) Anyway, I would like to show a bit of appreciation for that excellent work, by way of welcome.

I found and uploaded a free-licensed image for Laura Vanderkam and cropped it; if you believe the uncropped one would be better, please do use that one.

uncropped
cropped, in article

Per your userpage request, I tried to track down Robert Bruce (actor) from "Ask Me Again", but suspect IMDB may have sent me down the wrong rabbit hole. It links "American Playhouse" Ask Me Again (TV Episode 1989) - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb to Robert Bruce - IMDb, who seems to have been Robert Bruce | NZ On Screen. If this is him, he seems to have been an interesting person: Scot, New Zealander, Actor, Wrestler, Agent, Stuntman, Bodyguard ... if there are enough sources to make an article about him, it will be an amazing article. However, that makes me doubtful if this is him, since Nelson Rodker is supposed to be a nerd, right? Would a huge wrestler type have been cast as a nerd?

Anyway, the image is good, hope you like that one, and even more so hope you keep up the great work writing. Thank you. --GRuban (talk) 01:01, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GRuban Many thanks for your kind words and all your help. The actor playing Nelson Rodker didn't sound Scottish, though of course that doesn't mean a thing. There must be some podcaster out there who would like to take on this challenge, right? Someone who loves Scrabble... Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 02:29, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Draft:Sabeeha Rehman

Hi Allthemilescombined1 -- You asked for feedback at WiR on this; not sure what aspect you are concerned about? Some quick off-the-cuff thoughts... The subject looks notable to me under WP:AUTHOR but you probably could make this more obvious for a reviewer (whether in AfC or NPP) by linking the book reviews more clearly. I'd divide it slightly differently, esp moving hospital executive into the earlier section -- the Career is best focused on the wiki-notable career as an author, not on other aspects. I'd also take hospital exec out of the lead. Generally op eds in newspapers don't contribute (much) to notability, and can put reviewers off a bit. (It's a common promotional gambit to list tonnes of these.) I'd slim these down to a few of the most prominent examples. The word "speaker" is also loaded with promotional overtones for reviewers and you might like to remove this from the lead too. List the books that have multiple reviews in the lead with dates of publication and co-author. Hope this helps! Good luck! Espresso Addict (talk) 04:15, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As an aside you do realise that it's completely ok to just move your creations to mainspace yourself? (Obligatory caveat: As long as you are not being paid to write them.) NPP can be harsh but it's generally a lot quicker than AfC. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 04:20, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And another one... I notice you are the editor who created Carol A. Carter -- I meant to thank the creating edit on that one, but hit the wrong line in the history. Anyway, thanks!, I read it with interest (used to work in the field of HIV). Glad you ignored the unhelpful comment at Teahouse on Carter's notability. Espresso Addict (talk) 04:25, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I think I'm an approval junkie. I want to make sure everything I move to mainspace is up to standards. But also there's an aspect of "look mom, I made this picture! Oh honey, it's so great!" (In Bossypants, Tina Fey makes her first picture in kindergarten, expecting praise like she gets at home, and the boy next to her rips it in half). I'll work on this latest draft with your comments in mind. Side point - you know who else has a beautiful smile, besides Carol A. Carter? Carol Ann Carter! With cool art stuff in the background. Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 12:01, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you have to run with Silence Equals Approval here or you go mad; there's so much bad content that needs fixing, people often neglect to praise the enormous effort that goes into creating decent content. Keep up the good work! Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 02:50, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And, oh, now I see what you mean on Carol Ann Carter; pity we can't get that image into the article -- I do think bios especially are greatly enhanced by an image but there are so rarely free ones to be had. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:55, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
