A message from [[User:Ed6767|Ed6767]] about RedWarn

File:Redwarn feedback needed.png

Hello RedWarn tester! I hate to reitterate, but thank you so much for being willing to test RedWarn, I really appreciate it.

In the past few updates, I have added AIV (admin) reporting, a preferences panel, themes, customisation options and made many, many bug fixes and added many features based on your suggestions and feedback.

Unfortunately, recently feedback has run dry.

Even if you do not use RedWarn at the moment, or you do (tysm), I would greatly appreciate feedback of any kind. While I go round Twinkle users, sounding like that broadband salesperson in the mall that nobody ever wants to speak to, I'd like some updated feedback from recent and current users.

Any sort of feedback below would be greately appreciated!

  • Your first impressions when you tried RedWarn?
  • How have you used RedWarn as time has gone on?
  • Would you value customisation features, such as macros or shortcuts, such as adding your own quick revert reasons so the tool can fit your exact editing practices?
  • Any suggestions for how I could promote the tool to a wider audience?
  • Would you appreciate a more developed and thorough user guide?
  • Any theme suggestions?
  • Anything you'd like changing?
  • Something you've always wanted to see in an anti-vandal tool? (I might add it!)
  • RedWarn app?
  • A way to introduce Recent Changes patrol to new users to make using RedWarn or other tools less daunting?
  • Any bugs, gripes, or things that just really annoy you about RedWarn?

Click the button below to begin a new section on the talk page

{{Clickable button 2|User_talk:Ed6767/redwarn|Leave Feedback|color=blue}}

My goal is to create the most user friendly moderation tool, and that's why I need your feedback to help make this truely the most favorable anti-vandal tool. While we will never elliminate vandalism on this site, we can get closer to fighting it quickly and easily.

Many thanks for your continued support. Ed6767 (talk) 00:17, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

If you do not wish to get these feedback reminders, let me know on my talk page.

RfCs

Hey, just for the record, it's not actually a vote. We don't vote here except in a very few cases, like arbcom elections. We call an RfC discussion a !vote, which we render as 'not-vote'. It kind of looks like a vote, but numbers don't really matter much, even if it seems like consensus is strongly in one direction. What matters is the arguments being made and supported by policy. In the rare case you had 10 people saying, "Yes, I think we should keep that" and 3 saying "No, this is a BLP privacy violation per WP:BLP", an experienced, well-intentioned closer would quite likely close it as No because the Yes !votes hadn't supported their opinion with policy and the No !votes had. —valereee (talk) 16:58, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

useful script

Hey, E&S, there's a super-useful script at User:Headbomb/unreliable which will turn all the sources for an article different colors depending on their reliability per WP:RSNP. IMDb, twitter, wordpress, youtube get highlighted in a dull pink by it. It's very useful when you add something, then see it turn colors, it tells you to investigate. For instance not everything on youtube is a problem; many news organizations' official youtube accounts post clips, and those would be RS. Forbes turns yellow because some of their pieces are by "contributors" instead of staff. —valereee (talk) 18:33, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Impeachment resolutions.

I realise, you & the other fellow are passionate about the 'impeachment resolutions' topic. Would be helpful, if one of you began an RFC on the entire topic. Setting a precedent would be helpful, not only at the DeWine & Whitmer bio articles, but for other bios. GoodDay (talk) 13:14, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory

Hello:

I've just begun the copy edit you requested at the GOCE of the article Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory.

I wonder if you could clarify what you had in mind with this phrase "Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory"? The article is divided into sections/subsections that appear logical to me.

Thanks,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:23, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

:{{u|Twofingered Typist}}, Thanks for the Copy Edit. IMO, I actually don't agree with that phrase, but per Rfc's and discussions on reliable sources that involved nearly a hundred editors and some of the admins, the majority of sources (That are considered reliable) call the allegations false, so the Rfc's determined that "conspiracy theory" would best suit the article. Not much else I can say other than that. Elijahandskip (talk) 15:57, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Elijahandskip}} I'm an idiot! I meant "massive formatting session". Sorry! Your thoughts? Twofingered Typist (talk) 16:25, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

::::{{ping|Twofingered Typist}} Ah no problem, lol. So in general, the article just seems to have a lot of paragraphs that are either really large or really small. Some of the smaller paragraphs are like 2-3 sentences. The sections/subsections are logical, but the formatting inside the subsections is weird due to the nature of the information itself. I read it a few times before submitting for a copy-edit, but I couldn't find a way to combine some of the smaller sections or split up the larger sections. Also, the "New York Post Reporting" section is 8 paragraphs before a sub section. Not sure if that should or could be broken into one or two subsections. Hopefully all that made sense and also feel free to ping me if you have any more questions. Elijahandskip (talk) 19:58, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I have added section headings which I think break up the New York Post reporting section in a manner that makes it much easier to read. I only had to move one sentence to have it all make sense. I hope you agree with this. I mention this on the article's Talk Page in case it's an issue.

In the new Laptop and hard drive section, unless I'm blind, the citation used in the first sentence of the last paragraph did not cite the information. I found and added a NY Post article that does.

Regards,

Impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden

Thank you for checking in with me on my talk page about my flagging of Impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden for deletion. I very much understand all of your points. In that vein, I am trying to contribute as much as possible to the page, and revise it to bring it to the highest standards of quality.

== Current Events Timing ==

Not specifically regarding the Coup in Myanmar, but under the about page on Current Events, it clearly states:

:Stories should be added under the date in which they occurred in local time. Most sources indicate the day of the week in which an event occurred.

I am unsure as to why you assume that news should be reported in UTC (because it is the default Wiki time?). (61.200.33.99 (talk) 01:25, 1 February 2021 (UTC))

::I was coming here to write the same. The guidance says stories should be added under the date on which they occurred in local time. The coup attempt began between 3 and 5 a.m. local time on February 1. Johndavies837 (talk) 01:38, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

"Wikipedia minimum death of 4"

Hey! You mentioned on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Muskogee home shooting that [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FMuskogee_home_shooting&type=revision&diff=1004597016&oldid=1004596266 there is a "Wikipedia minimum death of 4"]. Would you mind directing me to where exactly Wikipedia dictates that? I don't recall seeing anything like that anywhere in Wikipedia's rules that I am aware of. Thank you! Love of Corey (talk) 01:33, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

:{{Ping|Love of Corey}} Hello. I just spent the last 20 minutes looking through my contributions and I can't find the thing that specifically states that. If I remember correctly, in the early-mid part of 2020 I was involved in a lot of Afd discussions. I am thinking I saw someone (admin maybe? or non admin) use Wikipedia:Bare notability and use a comment like 4 deaths is normally the minimum for a semi-routine things like a shooting/weather event (not earthquake) to have some notability. It really is all "judge on an as needed" basis, but since I revived the Current Event WikiProject 10 months ago, I have been using that philosophy. Elijahandskip (talk) 02:44, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Mention of my username of your userpage

I wish to have my username be removed from your userpage as the comments made about me are unconstructive. As I explained on my talk page weeks ago, I was not referring to your vote in the Impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden AfD as a !Supervote and my comments were not constructed towards you. I knew you had closed the AfD by mistake as you quickly reverted it, I was merely wondering why the article had already been merged by BD2412. On my talk page I simply was giving friendly advice for closings of AfD discussions you are involved in so you can avoid such a mess in the future. Outside of the Impeachment inquiry AfD I have not have much of an interaction with you and I do not see how we will run into conflict with each other again. Regards, JayJayWhat did I do? 03:46, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

:{{Ping|JayJay}}, I removed your name. I added it during the whole discussion of Afd and whatnot. Honestly, the list is more for Admins as 3 of those people have tried to get me banned from editing. We haven't had conflicts in a while, so I am perfectly fine and happy to remove you from the list. Hope we get to edit together some time in the future. Elijahandskip (talk) 04:08, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

::Hello, Elijahandskip. I've been concerned for a while about this list. Not just because my username is included, but also because your list accuses editors of having "show[n] a strong biased on a talk page or edit summary" and "hav[ing] a potential to have edit wars with Elijahandskip". I don't know the context in which you added the other editors, but I can assure you I have no particular ill-feelings towards you. I've voted against your articles at AfD based on my understanding of our policies, not my personal opinion of you as an editor. We haven't interacted much, but I've been critical of some of your actions in the spirit of constructive feedback when I've felt it's important.

::I'm not sure the list will help you in the way you hope it will (admins won't disregard your interactions with certain editors simply because you've stated that you think they're biased) and writing these unevidenced accusations on your userpage is not very conducive to a friendly, collaborative atmosphere. It's unpleasant for editors to see their names listed this way or associated with behaviour such as edit warring. Sometimes I too come across editors who I frequently disagree with, whose input I feel is unhelpful or whose personal views I think significantly affects their judgement. Occasionally I may express concern directly to them, but I wouldn't add their names to a list of editors I consider 'bad' on my userpage. I hope you'll consider removing that section. Jr8825Talk 04:52, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Elijahandskip, the following content on your user page is inappropriate:

{{tq2|Users who show a strong biased on a talk page or edit summary have a potential to have edit wars with Elijahandskip. Elijahandskip is known to have problems with the following users [William Allen Simpson], [Nirvanaoreilly], [Alsoriano97], [Jr8225], and [solbangla]. Please disregard any non-productive conversations between me and these users.}}

Especially in combination with the first sentence, the second sentence is a series of aspersions, which is a form of personal attack. Please remove this paragraph from your user page. — Newslinger talk 06:22, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

::{{Ping|Newslinger}}, I see what you mean to a degree, but I do not see that at all. I will agree to remove Nirvanaoreilly, Alsoriano97 and Jr8225, but the others I will keep. They have personally attacked me with multiple attempts to get me banned from editing Wikipedia. I see nothing wrong with making a statement that says "Please disregard non-productive conversations between me and them" as it has and will continue to happen. Both have wanted me banned for the last 5 months and just about anytime I cross their path a new attempt to get me banned happens. The list, to me, helps anyone new to a conversation, if they check user pages to see who they are talking to, might know that me and these 2 users will most likely have a massive conflict. So no, I will not remove the sentences, but I will remove the names that are unnecessary. Elijahandskip (talk) 13:48, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

::Also, on your point about aspersions, here is one for you. I asked a question on a talk page. Just a question to start a discussion. 30 minutes later, I apparently crossed the path of one of those users and I had a message on my talk page about a adminboard notice, aka, an attempt to get me banned on Wikipedia. So the list, in my opinion, isn't aspersions, but instead a warning for other users if they see us fighting. Elijahandskip (talk) 13:55, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Wait, I just discovered that {{u|Newslinger}} is an admin. Yes I will remove the sentences, but I won't be happy by it. Elijahandskip (talk) 14:01, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

: Thank you for removing the paragraph, Elijahandskip. The part that definitely needed to be removed was the list of usernames, and you can keep any portion of the remaining text that is not prohibited under WP:POLEMIC. However, if you ever find yourself in a user conduct dispute on a noticeboard, you will likely be treated more favorably by the community if you keep divisive material off of your user page altogether – regardless of whether it violates any policies or guidelines. What you choose to keep on your user page is your choice, of course, as long as it meets all of the policies and guidelines.

: The guideline that most directly applies to this situation is WP:POLEMIC, and if you [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%22WP%3APOLEMIC%22&prefix=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27+noticeboard&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&advancedSearch-current=%7B%7D&ns0=1 search the administrators' noticeboard archives for "WP:POLEMIC"], you can get a sense of how other editors react to this type of content. The reception is almost always negative. By removing the paragraph, you have done yourself a great favor by eliminating a source of controversy that may arise if you ever need to participate in an incidents discussion in the future. — Newslinger talk 15:40, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Removal request

Your profile page section "Outside Wikipedia Recognition" includes a link to what you acknowledge is a fake news site that makes significant misrepresentations about me. As with the link you were asked to exclude, I ask you exclude that one, too. In fact, it's just not good form to even mention this kind of external trashtalk about other editors. soibangla (talk) 01:53, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

:{{Ping|soibangla}} I actually sent a request into an admin a few hours ago to review the links and see if they truly (aka directly) break Wiki policy. Honestly, you still seem to have beef with me after I apologized (the message above slightly shows that "trashtalk about other editors" is a nice touch after you have tried multiple times to trash talk me in front of admins even after I said sorry multiple times). If the admin comes back and says it directly breaks a Wiki policy, I will remove it. But since it is you asking, I won't. Hopefully you understand. Elijahandskip (talk) 02:12, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

To me, you sound more hypocritic that anything. I will remove the link if you can provide a direct wiki policy that it breaks. Unless it lists personal details (like the first did, which I was ok removing), my defense to keep them is that it is recognition about me that I was important enough to talk about outside of Wikipedia.

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

[[WP:NPOV]]

Please stop creating slanted, Fox News based articles. I see above that another one, Stop Biden Agenda was deleted days ago, and now you try to create Draft:Cancellation of Dr. Seuss which is a NPOV amalgamation of Fox News anti-Biden propaganda and an opinion piece on the one hand, and articles which don't discuss the loaded "cancellation" or blame it on Biden, but discuss the decision from the publisher to no longer publish some potentially racist or problematic books. Fram (talk) 13:59, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

:{{Ping|Fram}} do you hear yourself? The information is from AP News, NBC, ABC, WSJ. Those are not at all "right wing news" and they are considered RS. Please stop the vandalism or be reported. Elijahandskip (talk) 14:01, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

::None of these discuss the "cancellation" of Seuss or claim that it started on March 1 with Biden.

::The WSJ one is an opinion piece, not a RS. Fram (talk) 14:04, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

::Note how neither ABC nor NBC nor the School Library Journal even mention Biden? Or that the de-emphasizing started years ago, the decision to pull these books was taken late lst year, and the Loudoun County decision was from last year as well?

:::Admin Board Notice started. Elijahandskip (talk) 14:24, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Important message

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Another thought for you

I don't know if you will receive any sanctions as a result of the thread at AN, but I just wanted to make a small observation, which you are free to ignore. You seem interested both in sharp-elbowed political editing (which is fine, when done within guidelines) and also as being part of Wikipedia's public-facing apparatus, through current events and whatnot. Those two things tend to stand in tension with one another. Where things are likely to be seen by many passersby is where we should necessarily be the most cautious and circumspect. It might be best if you focus your energies one way or the other, but again, just a thought. Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 17:36, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

{{Ivmbox

|2=Commons-emblem-hand.svg

|imagesize=50px

|1=The following sanction now applies to you:

{{Talkquote|1=You have been topic-banned from any pages or discussions relating to post-1992 American politics (WP:AP2) for 6 months, broadly construed}}

Sorry, but there's simply too many recent problematic lapses. Taking into account assurances and some related positive contributions, I went with 6 months instead of setting the duration of the sanction not to expire. Please take this time to absorb (truly) the multiple comments listed in the pertinent AN thread in question ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&oldid=1009869860#Problem_with_editor_(Vandalism_+_Calling_everything_%22right_wing_propaganda%22) permanent link]).

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/American politics 2#Final_decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. El_C 17:57, 2 March 2021 (UTC)}}

{{ping|El C}} would it be too much to ask if you could create a new perm link for the ban above that includes the 3000+ byte message I made? Over the next few months as people see that, I don't want people to think I was lying about it. Elijahandskip (talk) 18:33, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement action appeal by Elijahandskip

{{discussion top|Withdrawn by filer. El_C 22:49, 2 March 2021 (UTC)}}

Procedural notes: The rules governing arbitration enforcement appeals are found here. According to the procedures, a "clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved administrators" is required to overturn an arbitration enforcement action.

To help determine any such consensus, involved editors may make brief statements in separate sections but should not edit the section for discussion among uninvolved editors. Editors are normally considered involved if they are in a current dispute with the sanctioning or sanctioned editor, or have taken part in disputes (if any) related to the contested enforcement action. Administrators having taken administrative actions are not normally considered involved for this reason alone (see WP:UNINVOLVED).

; Notification of that administrator : The appealing editor is asked to notify the administrator who made the enforcement action of this appeal, and then to replace this text with a diff of that notification. The appeal may not be processed otherwise. If a block is appealed, the editor moving the appeal to this board should make the notification.

=Statement by Elijahandskip=

So the ban in my opinion was too quick. I had been asked by an admin {{u|Girth Summit}} to explain what my mistakes were. I was edit conflicted so I didn't get my 3,000+ byte message out. I might have misunderstood what Girth was telling me, but from what I got, I was creating a message to prevent the ban from happening. The arbitration sanction (ban) came 1 minute after my very long message. My appeal is just for the timing of it all as {{u|El C}} didn't get to read the message I had sent to Girth. Also, the perm link above does not have my long message, which can be seen in the discussion listed above. Elijahandskip (talk) 18:04, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Formally withdrawing the appeal. Can you close it {{ping|El C}}? Elijahandskip (talk) 22:45, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

=Statement by El C=

For my part, I am declining your appeal. There has to be some consequences for recent troubling editing in this fraught topic area. That said, as I noted in that AN discussion just now, if consensus is that the sanction should be adjusted, including lifting it outright, I will amend it accordingly. El_C 18:09, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

I've now read the histories and deletion discussions of a variety of political articles created by this editor, including the shockingly incompetent Bidenism and agree that this editor should not be involved with American politics articles for at least six months and possibly much longer.

I see you behaving aggressively at User talk:Beyond My Ken. That is a really bad idea. Your account name looks an awful lot like a violation of the username policy, and you should expect other editors to mention it unless you change it. I am not going to block you for it, but I will block you if you go around looking for a fight. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 01:42, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

:I wasn't looking for a fight. I was asking a question. Also, it is 1 person and I can provide proof if I have too. It is a pen name I use. Elijahandskip (talk) 01:48, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Isos Acquisition Corp

Hello Elijahandskip,

You asked me for some advice and on March 3, I gave you some. One thing I recommended is that you avoid creating crappy articles. You wrote Isos Acquisition Corp on March 4, which got speedy deleted. The relevant guideline is Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), and I see no significant coverage of this company in independent, reliable sources. All I see is press releases and directory listings. Why did you think that there ought to be an article about this company? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 22:38, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

::{{ping|Cullen328}}, Honestly, at first I thought that because it was a public traded company that it had automatic notability. {{u|JayJay}} (Sorry for the ping Jay) actually explained the Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) to me and I now fully understand it. One of my first thoughts to help me start getting away from the US politics stuff was to create articles for business's, which I still can, and I now understand more of the notability requirements for businesses. But year, thanks for the original recommendations on the 3rd. I am trying to get away from "crappy articles", but it was a habit for me because of my work with current events. Not talking about politic articles that are "current events", but I mean like disaster stubs. I use to update and create a lot of those and then other editors helped me edit it since it was a brand new disaster that was or just happened. I still got some progress to make, so any recommendations you ever have for me, please drop them on my talk page. I really want to learn and grow on Wikipedia so I can possible gain a good reputation instead of the weird good/bad one I have now. Elijahandskip (talk) 23:31, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello!

I saw your contribution at Talk:Voyager Station and yes it seems pretty strange and I think to draftify would be good. In this strange times it could be just type of scam or attention seeking. 109.93.20.87 (talk) 05:22, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Topic ban violation

Hi. You have a topic ban on "editing articles related to Post-1992 US politics". This means that your ProD of Nicholas A. Jones("...ran for election to the US House for the First Congressional District of Idaho. He lost in the primary on June 2, 2020.") was a violation of your topic ban.

Please be more careful and avoid editing such articles completely. Fram (talk) 08:10, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

:God Damnit. There goes all my progress. Going to revert my edit on his article now. Thanks for the alert {{u|Fram}} and I hope you don't use that as an excuse to get me a longer T-Ban. I didn't even see that he was a politician. I was patrolling new articles that day. Elijahandskip (talk) 10:41, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

::No, I don't tend to try to get people blocked for what seemed like a genuine mistake. Not everyone will take the same approach probably, but the admins who would go for a block or a longer TBAn for one violation like this will be the exception. Fram (talk) 11:09, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Please stop giving poor advice to other editors

I noticed your attempts to advise User:TableSalt342, which completely missed the actual problems with their articles, and focused on stuff which wasn't a problem or only a minor issue instead. I see that you also presented yourself to User:Withmedarlene as "n editor with years of experience" [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Withmedarlene&diff=prev&oldid=1013884784] claiming that all that is needed is to tone down the promotionalism of the article, and to insert the refs from the bottom as inline refs. What you at least should have noticed is that the [https://namu.wiki/w/%EC%A7%80%ED%9B%88(%ED%8A%B8%EB%A0%88%EC%A0%80) first ref] is a wiki, the [https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_(grup) second ref] is a link to Wikipedia, the [https://kpop.fandom.com/wiki/Jihoon_(TREASURE) third ref] is a link to wikia, the [https://www.ygfamily.com/artist/Main.asp?LANGDIV=K&ATYPE=2&ARTIDX=83 fourth ref] is a primary source, the [https://namu.wiki/w/YG%20%EB%B3%B4%EC%84%9D%ED%95%A8 fifth ref] is again that first wiki, the 7th ref is a primary source, the 8th one is a press release, the 9th one doesn't work, and the 11th one is a passing mention. Which leaves us with at most 2 sources to actually work with, which may well be not enough to get this accepted; and with a lot of wiki or dubious sources which aren't acceptable in any case. Just saying that "once the formatting errors are completed, then I believe a reviewer will accept the draft. " is only giving the editor false hope and poor advice. Fram (talk) 08:23, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

:Ok I see the problems I missed on the advice to Withmedarlene. If you call all the advice "false hope" though, why did you not just delete the draft or start an Afd on the spot? I didn't agree with anything TableSalt342 was saying about you having a biased or anything, however, with the amount of "fuss" you are putting on me for missing a few things of advice, it would have been easier for you to just remove some of the bad links. Don't ya think so? Maybe let that sink in some. I at least tried to help (and I feel like I helped some). You seem to just be putting him and me down for no reason. I know you probably don't intend to come across like that, but you are. Elijahandskip (talk) 10:46, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

::Me correcting the draft doesn't solve the problem of you, with your "years of experience" (1 1/2 year and lots of problems), offering bad advice to people. I am not putting Withmedarlene down, I am trying to stop you from doing things you aren't any good in. Oh, and I can't delete articles, and AfD is not allowed for drafts. So, er, thanks for the advice I guess? Fram (talk) 11:00, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
