My article about flu season
Dear Sophia,
Thank you for making changes to my article. As long it does not get deleted, I am fine with any changes you make to it. I am willing to fix them each time you delete whatever should not be there. HomerLikesMarge7285 (talk) 19:38, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
:I am willing to accept that I am new so this may take months to go public as an article. HomerLikesMarge7285 (talk) 19:39, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
:No worries, I'll swing by the draft in a little bit with more feedback, just make sure everything you write is in your own words to avoid copyright issues. Cheers, Sophisticatedevening (talk) 19:41, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

[[:Draft:Strongylosoma bisulcatum]]
Hi , thank you for leaving a note on my draft. I added more sources as you asked, but I am unable to exctract more information from the original description of the species because the publication is in Italian. I was recomended to expand the species list of Strongylosoma genus and almost every species I added does not have an article, so i wanted to make small starter articles for each of them so they can be grown by everyone. Is it alright , and is it better to always include at least 3 sources to begin this sort of small articles ? Antojien (talk) 01:54, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
:Of course, these articles are always welcomed. WP:NSPECIES has good guidance that you might find helpful for this. Generally, 3 sources are asked of any article to verify the information and prove notability. While English sources are preferred, there is no requirement that sources have to be in it so long as they are reliable, independent and secondary. Most articles start off as stubs, so don't worry too much about the length. I would also recommend checking out WikiProject Tree of Life if you're interested in these topics. Feel free to come back if you have any questions, good luck! Sophisticatedevening (talk) 02:08, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
AfC move notices
Hey Sophisticatedevening! Thanks for helping out at AfC. I came across some notices you left at User talk:MikeJanetta#Your AfC Submission has been moved and noticed you've been using Template:REVISIONUSER in lieu of your username. Which means that, at the time of [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:MikeJanetta&oldid=1280691767 your revision], your messages show correctly, but [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:MikeJanetta&oldid=1280715670 when I edited it], my name shows up in place of where yours should be! This should be avoided, as it causes confusion for the user who received the message as well as future editors.
Are you manually copy-pasting Template:AfC move? If so, that's fine - but make sure to replace the "REVISIONUSER" parts with your username when doing so. You can also leave the notice with
which does that for you automatically. In case it'd be helpful, there's also a Draftify gadget available that a lot of folks working in AfC (me included) use that automates the notice-leaving process for these cases. ~Liancetalk 02:08, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
:Actually, my bad, please disregard what I said above - I got confused viewing the template page instead of your notices. The issue was just that you didn't use subst: in front of the template. Make sure to include it when leaving notices in the future to prevent the username issue. ~Liancetalk 02:14, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
::Oh thank you for letting me know, that saved me a trip to the village pump. I saw that a few minutes ago and was baffled because the diffs didn't show any difference with the name change. I was manually typing the template and must have forgotten. Also thanks for letting me know that Draftify does that, I thought it only worked for mainspace. Cheers! Sophisticatedevening (talk) 02:19, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

My [[:User talk:Its tomukun]] submission matter
What sort of reference must I add to be accepted? I thought it was sufficient but according to your review it was not. Also thank you for reviewing so fast! Its tomukun (talk) 22:40, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
:Your 3 references are a google search, a fiverr link and credits at a small video game website. These are not enough to establish notability, as I have no idea what I'm looking for in the google search, fiverr is user generated and the credits do not provide significant coverage. Feel free to resubmit when you can find multiple reliable, independent and secondary sources for it and another reviewer will take a look.

deletion of Draft:Padre Raffaele of Sant'Elia a Pianisi
Good evening,
Regarding your recent deletion of my article, I do not see why it should have been deleted. Please clarify with me.
Reasons:
It is already a page on the Czech Wikipedia.
He is a notable person.
There are many articles on Wikipedia like this one; why should this article be deleted?
If you could undelete or explain to me why it was deleted or what I could do to improve it, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Roc1233 (talk) 00:18, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
:@Roc1233 Don't worry, your draft was not deleted it is right here. I declined it because it only cites 2 sources, leaving a lot of unsourced information throughout. Don't give up, you have plenty of time to keep improving, there is no rush. Spend a few days researching more sources, and resubmit when you feel ready. Another reviewer will take a look at it and decide then. Cheers, Sophisticatedevening (talk) 00:41, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Sample Sanitarium
Draft:Sample Sanitarium - Wikipedia
I've added more sources to it carefully this time. The sources contain Fresno bee which documents history as it is being created. I don't know if this is a problem or not, but Fresno bee's Newpaper website wants you to pay before entering because of reasons with info stealers. But it has everything documented, even buildings with little knowledge to them. There are no articles like the ones on Fresno bee containing any information about this building. A lot of fresnans are already subscribed to this though. Latermon23 (talk) 00:49, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

I'd like if someone could review my draft again. I provided references to independent newspapers with links. More than one. In the articles it is explained what the organisation does and also it links to independent awards won. I am not sure why I was told that it looks like an advertising. I is written very plainly without exageration and I provided the third party links. Thanks in advance

Draft:Shahanshahi Calendar - Wikipedia
I understand that you apparently don't review the same draft twice. However, as I'm a new member on English Wikipedia, could you please explain a bit more clearly what kind of citation is required? I’ve edited the draft again and added two direct citations from well-respected historical books. Also, there is already a Persian article on the same topic on Persian Wikipedia:
I'm not sure if the draft was declined due to a lack of reliable citations or because the topic is considered not important enough to warrant an article based on those citations.
--Saĝaĉjo (talk) 02:24, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
:I declined the draft as there were not enough reliable sources to establish notability at the time. 2 of the citations were commons photos to newspapers over 40 years old, and the Iran encyclopedia one was iffy. The BBC one was good, but it was not enough to prove notability. Feel free to resubmit when you are ready, Sophisticatedevening (talk) 14:20, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Draft:Kea Aerospace
Please help me understand why the article does not meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject. My reason for creating this article as a Wikipedia page is purely to alert and educate those who are interested in the advancements that have been made in aerospace. The article is not selling anything, so it is certainly not an advertisement. The subject is notable, the content is written from a neutral point of view, and refers to a range of independent, reliable, published sources.
I have gone out my way to ensure that the content is from people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject from reliable sources..TullaMelb (talk) 05:06, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
:The draft is filled with WP:PEACOCK terms and is far from a neutral point of view. The draft focuses on what company offers and how it helps with statements like, {{Tpq|This technology offers a cost-effective alternative to satellites and low-altitude aircraft }}. The issue isn't the notability of the company, it is how the article is written. Feel free to resubmit when you are ready, Sophisticatedevening (talk) 14:29, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

{{Lafc|username=Millsy0303|ts=18:32:59, 20 March 2025|declinedtalk=Draft:Un_mot_pour_Kevin}}
I was wondering why you decided the article is not significant enough if it is simple a translation of an existing french language page. I can include more references, although there are already enough in the citations in my opinion. The video is well known throughout quebec and the phrase "bonne fete Keven" said to any Quebecer under 40 will generally elicit the response "continue comme ca" which is noted in a radio segment [https://www.fm1047.ca/audio/581687/bonne-fete-kevin-video-virale-qui-a-marque-le-quebec here] that I will include in the article.
The video is also cited in [https://urbania.media/fr/productions/kevin this documentary about the name Kevin in Quebec] as the turning point for the decline in popularity of the name Kevin in Quebec, which is referenced in one of Quebec's largest newspapers, Le Devoir, in [https://www.ledevoir.com/culture/ecrans/591362/ecrans-kevin-il-faut-qu-on-parle-des-kevin this article].
Millsy0303 (talk) 18:32, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
:The sources given do not support sustained and significant coverage of the video. All of the ones provided seem a few news articles on its 15 year anniversary. The documentary, radio segment and newspaper are only passing mentions, with the main focus of them on the name Kevin, not the video itself. French Wikipedia has their own policies and guidelines on notability that are separate from here. I have no way to verify if it is well known throughout Quebec and if saying it will elicit that response, so if you can provide more sources with significant and sustained coverage of the video itself, that would help the article out a lot. You can always resubmit and another reviewer will look at it, good luck. Sophisticatedevening (talk) 22:30, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
[[:Draft:Hetz (surname)]]
The cancellation of the article is not understood for the same reason, it should be implemented so that it is not ambiguous and has a section for people with the last name just like articles like hatz or hetzer 186.11.43.197 (talk) 15:15, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
:I declined the article because there is no reason to have a disambiguation page for articles that don't exist. If those articles were to be created then the disambiguation might be necessary, but they aren't right now. It doesn't help to have an index of redlinks in the mainspace.

This article should have not been draftified that fast, considering that the last constructive edit occured minutes ago.

Reasons for rejection of DistroTV article
Dear Curator,
I created a page for DistroTV on March 31, but quickly rejected. Can you please shed some light on the reason for rejection? That would help me make better writing in the future.
I have added multiple reference links that are from 3rd party reviews of the product, that I believed to be independent and in-depth. Is there any particular reference that is bad? Or do you need more references? Thanks!
:The sources given are not independent of the subject or reliable. Two of the five are from the company website, crunchbase is just an unreliable database of companies, and the other two only gave a short article that announced the company was launching, with no coverage after that. Therefore fails WP:NCORP at the moment. Sophisticatedevening🍷(talk) 21:48, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
::I see. I can remove the crunchable link because I didn't know it was deemed as unreliable. Do you suggest the I should not link to the company/product page itself?

Trying to get ARC prize article online
Hey Sophisticatedevening, I would love some recommendations on writing an article for the ARC Prize (https://arcprize.org/). I think it's a great competition that should have its own wikipedia article. Would you help me out?
Manuelmao94 (talk) 14:25, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
:Your current version of the draft does not portray the organization in a neutral point of view. Phrases in your current draft like, {{tpq|The competition aims to foster innovation, particularly novel approaches beyond simply scaling existing models like Large language models (LLMs), and promotes open-source sharing of solutions.}} highlight it in an overly positive light and in a promotional tone. Consider reading WP:YFA for pointers on how to write your first article. Sophisticatedevening🍷(talk) 16:10, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Declining AFC drafts as advertising
Hi there, thanks for reviewing for AFC! Just a note, when you decline an AFC draft with the adv/npov declines, can you please also use the relevant notability decline? We don't want someone to spend a lot of time trying to make their draft sound neutral if the bigger problem is that there are no sources that establish notability. They'll just resubmit it and get frustrated when they end up getting a notability decline. Thanks! -- asilvering (talk) 22:56, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Nico Cappelluti. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because See talk page, there are too many problems at the moment.
I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page.

::My guess: you are the earliest non-ip person so the script included you as the originator. I did not double check, my apologies.

[[Draft:Michael Segal (Biblical Studies professor)]]
Hey. I need you to explain something to me: the article has already been rejected twice, even though I've corrected everything you asked for, but the subject of the article - Prof. Michael Siegel - receives *countless* corrupted emails to his private email account, offering him to move the article to the main space without any problem at all, if only he would be kind enough to pay money. Is the English Wikipedia corrupted? The Turtle Ninja (talk) 10:30, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Your rejection of my draft page
Hi
You recently rejected my draft page “List of Essex T20 cricket records” on the grounds that it did not have reliable sources. Whilst there is nothing in the references section, each table has the its source listed as the website “CricketArchive”. This is the same as the page “List of Essex List A cricket records” which is already live, so I assumed this would be OK. Do I still need to add something to the reference section?
Thanks Cricketnerd99 (talk) 17:01, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
:The only source given is the CricketArchive, which gives no indication that it is vetted or reviewed by anyone. There is nothing else there to support the information, and therefore it is not adequately by reliable sources for me to verify the information. Sophisticatedevening🍷(talk) 17:13, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
::Hi
::I’m not sure how to proceed now. What sort of sources can I use? Is there a list of “vetted or reviewed sources”?
::CricketArchive is given as a source for many cricket related Wikipedia pages.
::Thanks Cricketnerd99 (talk) 17:23, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
:::There's not really a comprehensive list of vetted ones since there are so many websites, but there is WP:RS/P for a list of sites that are not reliable, and WP:NPPSG for an expanded list. Sophisticatedevening🍷(talk) 17:28, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

I need your help
So, i made an edit, on Moroccans where i added internal links to related Wikipedia pages, but it got Removed, so i edited it again and someone else reverted my edit.
I don't want to edit war but i think my edit is helpful and connects Wikipedia pages together as the numbers represent Moroccans on that country so it makes sense to show Moroccans on that country when you click on the link right?
Any suggestions on what i can do about it? Sugarcane juice (talk) 00:36, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
:So first I appreciate the attempt to not edit war, it can be a very slippery slope sometimes. The first thing you should do is discuss on the article's talk page. There is a process called "bold, revert, discuss" that has some really good guidance on these situations. My advice is to make a new section on the talk page, ping the editors who reverted and explain why you think the links would be good for the article. I would also give WP:DISPUTE and WP:3RR a read for more information and some next steps going forward. Sophisticatedevening🍷(talk) 00:51, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
::I'll read the articles you mentioned and ping them on the talk page to talk about it and explain my points, thanks for your help! Sugarcane juice (talk) 00:59, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
Laurens van der Maaten draft review
Thanks for taking the time to look at my draft article on Laurens van der Maaten.
I'm new to article creation on Wikipedia and would love more specific feedback on how to improve the article.
Given that Laurens is the author of several technologies (t-SNE and LLaMa) that already have their own articles, I strongly believe that he is sufficiently notable to warrant an article. BigAppleTea (talk) 15:39, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
:If the person is notable, then the article needs to show that through independent, secondary and reliable soures. That means no interviews, personal/company websites, etc. Right now the article does not show evidence that he is actually notable, and it needs those sources in the article if you can find them. Feel free to resubmit when you're ready, Sophisticatedevening🍷(talk) 15:56, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
::Understood! Another question - would you consider sources such as his highly cited scientific articles to be sufficient here? While Laurens himself keeps a relatively low public profile, his scientific contributions are clearly notable.
::I'm open to the idea that a scientist with several notable scientific contributions (that have their own independent wiki articles nonetheless!) is not considered sufficiently notable because of their low public profile, but that is something I would want you to be explicit about here.
::On a more meta note, one wonders if there should be some threshold of citations after which a scientist becomes sufficiently notable - If "widespread citation" is sufficient for proving the reliability of a source, perhaps it could also be sufficient for proving the notability of a scientist!
::Anyway, thanks for taking the time to help me with the first article I'm trying to create :) BigAppleTea (talk) 01:24, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
:::It is possible that some of his contributions are notable, however that does not necessarily mean that he himself is notable. It doesn't really matter how cited or popular his scientific articles are in terms of notability, if the only things about him published online or otherwise are written by him, then it is likely that he isn't notable enough to warrant a separate article. Sophisticatedevening🍷(talk) 01:40, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
::::To be clear, none of the sources in the article I provided are written by him, though I do admit they are not as mainstream of sources as would be ideal.
::::Thanks for the clarity re: notability of science vs the scientist. I'll leave the article in draft format for now until more is published about him. BigAppleTea (talk) 01:50, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
