== Could you please review my article ==

Hey.

I noticed you have reviewed a few pages in your time at Wikipedia- I am a beginner to Wikipedia and have just finished writing my first article, now the draft is pending for review. It'd be great if you could check it over! I am apprehensive that it will contain mistakes and I will need to wait another few weeks/months before getting another review.

Many thanks,

Thank you.

@Kalari Poothara: The Malayam Wikipedia article was only created about a week ago so I'm not going to make a judgement call based on that. However, the draft you submitted has several glaring issues, most namely the fact that I can barely understand it. Since this is the English Wikipedia, pages should at least be somewhat understandable in English. If you want to improve this article, here is what you need to do: pull content from the Malayam Wikipedia article into Google Translate and put the translated info into the draft. This will make the page comprehensible enough that we can make a judgement to determine if the subject is notable or not, using the guidelines at WP:GNG. Additionally, if you want to cite the book, all you need to do is use the inline citation tool. Curbon7 (talk) 10:58, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]


This is the translated version of malayalam wikipedia.

The Kanaran Gurus, Kottakal (1850-1941), the great Kalaripayat Guru known as Dronacharya of Kalaripayatut, who recovered Kalaripayat after the British banned Kalaripayat (1793). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

He is also known as the Kottakal Kanaran Gurus, Malol Kanaran Gurus, and Maram Veetil Kanaran Gurus, who played an important role in the survival of the art in the dark period of the Kalari culture from the pre-independence period of India. [6] [7] [8] [9]

Kanaran Guru, who lived like a bride, was born and raised in the Kottakal Maram house to the youngest son of the great Chekavan. Later, due to some family reasons, he moved to Mukkali, where his sister - in - law's house was located. Kalari techniques were mastered. Thulunadu traveled to distant places, including Andhra Pradesh, where he mastered the art and techniques of the college. The unmarried Guru sold up to 250 acres of his family's land for the expenses of these trips. [10] [11] [12] [13]

Due to his extensive travels and association with various gurus, the Kanaran Gurus became proficient in six different pita practices, so he was later able to integrate extensive practice and subject his disciples to different disciplines in different locations, [14] [15] [16] [17]

After his training, the Kanaran Gurus returned home and approached the King of Kadathanadu, revealing his importance in conducting a Kalari and declaring that he was better than any other Guru in the area. But during the British ban, the king did not allow a new college to be built in his area. With that, he entered the northern land. The Kanaran Gurus conducted the first college at Champatte Chamberi Param near Thalassery. The main disciples of the temple were Valangad Kunjikannan and Chamberi Kunjikannan Gurus. [18] [19] [20] [21]

Later, CV Narayanan Nair's father was responsible for the college training at Kariyil in Murkothu Param, Thalassery, and in the yard of Champadan's house and Math. Among those who studied there were CV Narayanan Nair and his elder brother CV. Karunakaran Nair, Anajan Balan Nair, Sajayan, and RV Ananthan Nair were prominent. At the invitation of Mattannur, the Kanaran Gurus also inspected the gallery conducted by CV Narayanan Nair. The college was closed for two years. [22] [23] [24] [25]

It is believed that the Guru died at Mukkali due to a stomach ailment.

Hope you understood. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalari Poothara (talkcontribs) 14:40, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Kottakkal Kanaran Gurukkal

Hey Curbon7, I hope you're doing well. The creator of this draft just showed up in IRChelp since it's been marked as under review for a while – do you still plan to review it soon or should I move it back into the submitted queue? Best wishes, Blablubbs|talk 14:00, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Blablubbs: I am still looking over it. Me and the editor have been working together on a translated version, I just haven't been able to do much recently on Wikipedia as I've had exams for uni. Now that those are finished, I can probably finish working on that article today. Curbon7 (talk) 23:33, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

RE: [2]

I have included a link to the filmmaker's personal website where the bio I used for this article to collate the facts, it has at the bottom of the pdf written

The text of this page is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts)

http://lorenzodestefano.com/lorenzo-bio-wikipedia.pdf

The link you used to cite copyright usage has been revoked by the filmmaker and taken off that website in question and therefore should not be used on your behalf as proof of copyright usage, as it is no longer available for the public view.

I have included a link to the bio with the proper text in the external links of the wiki article I submitted.

I have also removed all mention of https://www.nambaarts.com/ from this Wikipedia article and mention in the bio (Mexicajedi (talk) 14:10, 5 December 2020 (UTC)) Mexicajedi (talk) 14:10, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 16:19:40, 9 December 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Olamina


Please let me know what is the copyrighted material I need to remove and I will do so. I definitely did include the reference there. How do I get back all the work I already did on the Stefano Harney page?

Olamina (talk) 16:19, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Olamina: Wikipedia cannot accept material directly copied from a copyrighted source, even if they are cited. You should read Wikipedia's copyright policies, found at WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:CV. Additionally, per WP:REFUND, any page deleted per WP:G12, which is the criteria for copyright, cannot be restored. Curbon7 (talk) 01:17, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you accept my wikipedia article Draft:Trans-Saharan slave trade?

I submitted my article on the Trans-Saharan slave trade, and you rejected it saying that it is best be merged with the article at the Arab slave trade. However the article on the Trans-Saharan slave trade also includes information on Garamentes and Romans, so merging it with the article on the Arab slave trade makes no sense. Perhaps if it is too short someone could later expand on the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibrahim5361 (talkcontribs) 05:05, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibrahim5361: While the topic is notable, I'm not sure it warrants a new page in its current state due to the lack of unique content (as in, content that is not yet in any other page). Instead, I would recommend adding content to other similar pages, such as Trans-Saharan trade, Slavery in ancient Rome, Arab slave trade, and Slavery in the 21st century, among many other articles. However, the good effort is appreciated! Curbon7 (talk) 09:42, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Curbon7, I thank you for your help with this article. I have tried to put a direct link in the category "Lists of ancient Indo-European peoples and tribes" but the article still don't show there. Can you help me with this issue? Bird Vision (talk) 13:31, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bird Vision: Done. Also, WP:HotCat is a very useful tool for quickly adding categories to pages. Just follow the instructions on that page. Curbon7 (talk) 23:52, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Curbon7, thank you very much for your help and information!--Bird Vision (talk) 11:44, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Curbon7, I removed linkedin and filmmaker's website previously used for citations. I also re-worded and cut the draft to comply with the neutral tone criteria. Please, let me know if anything else needs to be done.

--Beltroad714 (talk) 19:23, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there! Thanks for taking a look at my article so quickly. I wanted to ask about potential of an different merge than the one you proposed on my decline note. The University of Victoria page has a section on the Transgender Archives at the University of Victoria (which is short but well done) and the Transgender Archives have its own page separate from it. As both the chair and the archives are connected, I was thinking it would make more sense for the info in the UVic page to be placed in the page on the Transgender Archives page, and maybe move the Chair in Trans article to the UVic page? That way they link together, and the info about the trans archives are not repeated twice on the same page (as the Chair in Trans article does mention the Archives). let me know!:) Wrenhawke (talk) 05:55, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Wrenhawke: I inserted a main template in the University of Victoria article to Transgender Archives at the University of Victoria. You can add the content of your draft into the Archives article. Curbon7 (talk) 06:06, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Curbon7 Great! Thanks so much :) Wrenhawke (talk) 06:09, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You!

Hello Curbon7. Thank you for your quick review and approval of my draft article on Karl Linder. I greatly appreciate your consideration of the issues I presented in response to the initial declination by the original reviewer. Best regards from a fellow UMie, class of '72. Historybuff0105 (talk) 16:41, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Historybuff0105: No problem! Also, I tried to see if I could import the picture of Linder that is on German Wikipedia to Wikimedia Commons, but sadly that German copyright license isn't valid in the US, and there was no picture of Linder in the Federal Archives.

Request on 19:02:16, 12 December 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by NetaZamir


Hi Curbon7,

You recently declined a new page I created for the artist Uri Aran.

Just wanted to let you know I added some more content to the draft and, more importantly, some more references from well known sources (such as the New York Times and South London Gallery).

I would also like to point out that this page was created with some inspiration from Aran's colleagues represented by the Rivington Arms. As you can see there, this page for Aran does not fall short in comparison to the pages of any of these artists in terms of variety, independence and reliability of sources.

I hope you will consider approving this page or at least help me understand what more can be done on my end to have it approved.

Thanks! Neta

Request on 01:48:38, 14 December 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Historybufffanatic2005


I am asking for assistance because of my (attempted) article for Draft:Umar Johnson. I was told that it wouldn't be accepted unless I remove the copyrighted material. What copyrighted material should I remove?

Historybufffanatic2005 (talk) 01:48, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Historybufffanatic2005: A couple of points: (1) If I remember correctly, it was only like a sentence or two that was copy-pasted from a different source, hence why I didn't mark it for speedy deletion or history redaction. It seems that the copyright issues were cleaned up at some point. (2) However, some of your sources are still problematic.

Draft:Henrys inVegas and Draft:Henrys Invegas

I am an american music artist and unfortunately my draft has been unsubmitted because I happen to have my biography live on other websites. I guess I have to pay someone to maneuver around Wikipedia and message a few people, unless there is a tag; some sort of command to let the "reviewers" know I am and own the copyright & trademark to my name.

watching.

Henrysinvegas (talk) 03:21, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Henrysinvegas: Your original draft, Draft Henery inVegas was deleted because of blatant copyright infringement, per WP:CV. If you are the owner of the copyrighted material and wish to donate it to Wikipedia, you can follow the instructions at WP:DCM. Secondly, you should read Wikipedia's policy on autobiographies at WP:AUTOBIO. Writing an article about yourself is not necessarily disallowed, but it is highly discouraged since it is a huge WP:Conflict of interest. As it stands, your new draft, Draft:Henrys Invegas does not have a neutral point of view. Additionally, neither source you provided are valid. This is because they are both primary sources, which are not useable as references, per WP:RS.
Therefore, to circle back to your donation of your copyrighted material, since you are the owner of the copyrighted material AND you are the subject of the draft, the copyrighted material CANNOT be used as a reference, as it would be a primary source. You must provide valid and reliable sources and fix neutrality issues, or your article is just going to get declined again.
Also regarding your last sentence, I'm gonna assume good faith that your statement of "message a few people" isn't WP:INTIMIDATION, and instead I'll focus on your statement of hiring a paid editor. Similar to the autobiography, this opens a significant risk for WP:NPOV and WP:COI issues, and they would have to disclose that they are indeed a paid editor, per WP:PAID. Curbon7 (talk) 05:57, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

E. Javier Loya

You had previously declined this AFC Draft:E._Javier_Loya for various reasons. I am a paid editor hired on their behalf to fix all issues and resubmit. I believe that I have complied with all the requirements of Wiki and fixed prior issues that made the page sound promotional. As I read the notes, the prior editors had also skipped over some legal issues, but I have included everything (negative or positive). This person is truly notable as you would see from the significant number of sources. Would you mind doing another review? If there are still any issues, please let me know.

Hello Curbon 7, my draft on the fake rich of Shanghai was rejected because the title does not have a certain degree of topicality.But this topic and phenomenon has gained more than 1.4 million likes in just one day in Chinese social media .And the phenomenon of packaging oneself with false wealth on social networks is not only in China, there are such vanity lovers all over the world.I don’t think this topic lacks popularity and public attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruolan0228jiang (talkcontribs) 00:28, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Curbon7 left a message stating that the article I had written may have contained peacock type language and used unreliable references like apple music.

I wanted to reference a similar artist named Riot Ten and compare and contrast what would be the stand out difference that that particular article has that this one is lacking.

Riot Ten article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_Ten#cite_note-8

Thank you! Looking forward to hearing from you.

Studio88lv (talk) 06:11, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Studio88lv: Wikipedia cannot accept content that is user-generated. You should read WP:NOTRELIABLE and WP:QUESTIONABLE to get a better understanding of what kinds of sources aren't really allowed. Also, considering your username is listed as an alias for the musician, you should also read WP:AUTOBIO. Curbon7 (talk) 08:54, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I really want to reference the biography about this similar artist, Riot Ten, because the references are so similar: [3]
My name is Will Clark, however. I'm not Douglass High. I do manage a lot of Douglass' social media and business affiliations. Studio88lv is his audio engineering company. I would've included that in the article, their just isn't any references yet for me to source that information from. Apologize for that mix-up! I will delete that from the article. I will remove references from press outlets that aren't as well known, as well.
I think the thing that is most confusing is why the Riot Ten biography is able to use apple music references and I can't use apple music references with the PURGE (producer) article. I read the text on NOTRELIABLE and QUESTIONABLE but I'm not sure those pages answer the question.
Thank you for your help! I'm definitely new to all of this so your help is greatly appreciated. Studio88lv (talk) 09:38, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Apologies if this isn't the right avenue for this; I'm new to wikipedia. I am a college professor teaching a course with a project in which students (here, @Citrus334:) wrote new wikipedia pages for scientists. I saw that you declined this draft page on Tadashi Fukami. I would like that decision to be reconsidered. I also left this note on the talk page of the Fukami draft bio, but please note that this subject is an elected member of the Ecological Society of America, a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association, and thus establishes notability for academics via criteria #3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics). If I am reading your edit correctly, it looks like you declined the page because notability is not established. But I believe that it is, in this case.

Hi Curbon7, thank you for your time reviewing my post for Draft: Zero to Three. I'm reaching out to see if you had any recommendations/suggestions on how to make this post more neutralized? The first time I submitted this, they wanted more references, but it wasn't tagged as leaning toward 'advertisements' so I went in and added more references.

Good day, Cubron7!

Thank you for reviewing so fast and Merry Xmas!

I received message that I've used not verifiable content and that I'm related to the artist. I'm not related to the artist, however I'm related to people who filmed a documentary about the artist, and we are not related to the artist or his management, it is available on video streaming services and even received an award from MOS KINO. I linked YouTube because its the link where you can actually see the movie, however I can reference to some video streaming services, its the documentary not about just DJ Tactics, its a documentary about their DJ crew that had a very important impact on the Russian club scene, there is 4 djs in there, about all of those I wanted to do a pages on Wiki, as its strange there is none still.

Also all the sources are from registered news media with more then 10 years of history in Russia, I took some links from old wikipedia article about dj tactics, however as I checked now, they are not valid anymore, probably because the sites are down. But then how to recover those?

Please advise and thank you very much for all the work! — Preceding unsigned comment added by HPRNML (talkcontribs) 13:27, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@HPRNML: Dead links can be re-accessed using the Wayback Machine assuming you still have the URL. Also, your draft has many neutrality and MOS:FORMATTING issues.

Florida House of Representatives

Hi Curbon7! I'm a fellow Floridian apart of WP:FLORIDA, and I was looking through the Florida House of Representatives districts. Specifically, districts 1 – 13 that you created. I understand that for all of them you used this as a second source, but I can't find anything on page 88 relating to representatives. My intention is to contribute to these articles, but I really feel like I'm missing something with the source and wanted to clarify before I take any "bold" steps (I've already edited on 13, but I won't touch anything until I fully understand the source so I don't do something wrong). Thanks! FredModulars (talk) 02:10, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@FredModulars: I'm not sure why they are set to page 88, but that is a quick fix. That source is a list of every single Florida politician, their party, the years they served, and the counties/districts they represented. It's very convenient. If you want to use it to look up the state representatives for a particular district, the easiest way is to do Ctrl+F and type "House, 3rd dist" and that'll show you all of the state reps who have represented the 3rd district, using that district as an example. Curbon7 (talk) 03:52, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Alright. I've used Ctrl+F on the source, and I have to agree that it's pretty convenient. Thank you. FredModulars (talk) 03:54, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have received the message from your side that my article does not have sufficient references to be verified but it has Facebook and other social media references which are not enough to verify my article but it has more concert reference about the things which has been said. if I remove that social media references then this article would be approved by you or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aliraqiiq (talkcontribs) 17:31, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Aliraqiiq: It would be declined even if the problematic sources are removed. There are major WP:NPOV issues with the draft, and it reads like a very promotional piece. Curbon7 (talk) 04:47, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 13:34:09, 29 December 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Aolaotan


I have made the necessary changes to the article as stated by the last reviewer. But I can not find the button to submit the updated article for review.

Aolaotan (talk) 13:34, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It has been resubmitted. Curbon7 (talk) 23:54, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Curbon7 – per your edit here, were you responsible for reviewing and accepting this draft, or did you simply clear up the AfC tag afterwards? Because it looks as though this article was declined at AfC, and the article creator simply ignored that and moved it into mainspace anyway. I'm just trying to clarify what your involvement in its creation was, because to be honest this album is not notable and I'm going to send it to AfD... three of the seven sources don't even mention it, and the others say nothing more than "it was released" in passing. Thanks. Richard3120 (talk) 16:45, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Richard3120: I accepted it. In hindsight it was a bad decision and it should absolutely be put up for AfD. Also, the creator moved the page 5 times, so we also have some redirects to clean up. Curbon7 (talk) 00:02, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's okay, I'm not looking to point the finger at anyone, I just wanted to get clear the timeline of this article's creation. As you say, the creator has created a lot of redirects and double redirects, some of which have been speedily deleted, but others have been kept... I'll keep them on my watchlist, and then if this article is deleted, they can be put up for G8 deletion afterwards. Richard3120 (talk) 01:26, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Friedrich Porges; My submission of Dec. 15

Hello, Curbon7, Thank you for your message regarding my submission about Friedrich (Frederick) Porges on Dec. 15th. I was surprised by the statement that Porges does not qualify for a Wikipedia article, because there already is a page about him in Wikipedia. It is, however, incomplete, and contains the notice: "...You can help Wikipedia by expanding it," which is what I would like to do. I would greatly appreciate your advice as to how to achieve this aim. Also, are the mentioned sources considered unreliable because they are mostly in German? The book I cite by Rudolf Ulrich: "Oesterreicher in Hollywood, ein Beitrag zur Entwicklung des amerikanischen Films" ( "Austrians in Hollywood, a Contribtion to the Development of American Film" ), for example, devotes a whole page with photo to Porges. Please advise. Thanking you in advance, I remain with best regards and wishes for the New Year. DRG555 DRG555 (talk) 06:08, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DRG555, I'm not sure where you see an existing article on Porges. However, the main issues with your draft as far as sources go are that there are no inline citations (per WP:ILC). Also, the article as a whole is formatted very incorrectly. Use the article Fritz Lang as an example of how you should format your page, since he is a similar filmmaker from the same time period. Curbon7 (talk) 11:14, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You said it doesn't meet Wikipedia's purpose why is that I didn't see how it contradicted any of Wikipedia's purposes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingdomofburdette (talkcontribs) 16:21, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Curbon7 ... I was advised that it would likely take three months for my submission to be reviewed. It was reviewed in ~2 hours. I've been working on it for nearly six months and I've hewed very closely to Wikipedia's standards. There are, no doubt, improvements to be made, but I would respectfully ask the following:
1- How thoroughly was my page reviewed in about a 2-hour timeframe? There's approx. 20 pages of information (printed) as per my submission. This is curious.
2- I would kindly appreciate examples of your various critiques - and, to be sure, I welcome these opportunities to improve. But, in providing me firm examples, I could properly and effectively address the issues (and in a timely fashion).
Again, I ask these questions with respect.
Thank you (and Happy New Year!),
Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 03:12, 31 December 2020 (UTC))[reply]

Ryancoke2020, Firstly to clear up with you some info of the AfC process. It can take up to 3 months for your draft to be reviewed. However, that doesn't mean it WILL take 3 months. We have over 3,000 drafts waiting for review, and we get around (I'm estimating) 500 new drafts a day. There aren't very many of us reviewers; we're just volunteers, we have lives too. Because of that, drafts are reviewed in a quick, but efficient and accurate manner. The reason I got to yours so quickly is because I patrol the newest created drafts; essentially, I act as a filter, either accepting the drafts are clearly notably and encyclopedic or declining the drafts that are otherwise.
In all honesty, it took me about a minute of review to decide that I would decline your draft, as there are obvious and glaring issues with it. First and foremost, you have way way way too many sources. Because of this, I can't actually validate which sources are relevant or not because, like I said before, we have a lot of other drafts to get to as well. You should read WP:CITEOVERKILL for that point.
Secondly, your draft is non-neutral in tone, and frankly read like a bit of an advertisement for the subject. Phrases like "With an enchanted resonance" and "Tomos' mission from the outset has been to present a message of hope, optimism and socially constructive and progressive ideas through his words." serve to WP:PUFF the subject. See WP:NPOV.
Thirdly, this didn't play a role in the draft's declination but since we're here I might as well bring it up, your draft is formatted very incorrectly. Use the articles of other similar subjects, such as Neal Stephenson or Edward Neumeier, as examples of how to properly format this kind of draft. Curbon7 (talk) 03:51, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Curbon7 - Thank you, kindly, for the response. I will concede the fact re: the non-neutral language in some places (I will tidy this up), but I did make an effort to play it down the middle, so to speak. Regardless, I will edit accordingly.
That said, I'm having trouble squaring the need for an encyclopedic approach, but simultaneously, not wanting a very well-sourced page. I'd posit that, if the sourcing is relevant, it's, ipso facto, germane. So, say I slash the number of sources, what's preventing the next reviewer from stating that additional citations are needed? It seems arbitrary or capricious, and a potential no-win situation (for me). Ultimately, I will heed your advice, but I believe it important to properly voice my concerns. I trust you can appreciate this. Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 04:28, 31 December 2020 (UTC))[reply]
Ryancoke2020, Good sourcing is needed. However, having every statement cited by 8 different references is unnecessary and overkill. Use other pages as examples of a baseline you should aim for. Curbon7 (talk) 04:32, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Curbon7 - That's fair, but respectfully, I'm not interested in theatrics or histrionics. Just the facts. It's simply not correct that every statement cited has 8 different references. In all sincerity, I am only looking for fair consideration. I'll leave it here for now and, as I mentioned previously, I will heed your recommendations. I genuinely appreciate these, in addition to the work you do. Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 04:43, 31 December 2020 (UTC))[reply]
Ryancoke2020, "premiered at London’s Raindance Film Festival in 2019.[1][2][3][4][5][6][10][11][12][13][27]" ; "pondering what truly matters in life.[1][2][23][24][28][29]" ; "Tomos decided to try out his material under the Probably Tomfoolery brand.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][16][17]"
To ease your concern of another reviewer declining because of not enough sourcing, don't worry, there will be enough. Good job so far, your effort and enthusiasm are appreciated! Curbon7 (talk) 04:54, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Curbon7... Thank you, very much, for the kind, encouraging words in your previous message. They're genuinely appreciated! I've re-submitted my page (for review) after making changes - as per your recommendations. It may still require some finessing, though I do believe it's more in line with your expectations. If not, I will endeavor to improve all aspects, as necessary. Once again, thank you for your hard work and diligence. Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 15:20, 2 January 2021 (UTC))[reply]

Hey Curbon7! Just a quick update informing you that I've made many more changes, as per your recommendations. I believe the page looks substantially better, though I'm a bit partial. Again, I'm open to any additional advice/critiques, and humbly, I must admit that you were ultimately correct. Indeed, there was too much editorializing and far too many citations/references. I mean, there may still be instances where things aren't perfect, but I think I've made good progress. Thank you - truly! - for your help, guidance and encouragement. It's genuinely appreciated!

Regarding Florida's Legislative districts

Hey Curbon7. I saw that you recently created Florida's 14th State House district. Do you plan on doing the rest of the districts for both Senate and House districts? I know someone who was making Senate districts for a couple of states who goes by the user name Blizzardwind, but he was taking a break from doing that. Dillon251992 (talk) 02:28, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dillon251992: Yeah I'm still planning on making them. I've also done House 1-13 as well. It's just such a time consuming process since it takes about 2-3 hours to make a district page, and there are 120 House districts and 40 Senate districts. I'm aiming to do 1 article per day, which will take about half a year (with a fixed deadline being the Census redistricting for obvious reasons lol). Curbon7 (talk) 02:51, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yangon Thu Michelle is an advocate for women empowerment who stands on her own feet. She produces her own videos, co-founded Myanmar Women’s Self Defense Center, and is a country lead for Myanmar in the Bangkok-based Wedu Global social enterprise. Her videos and interviews aim to support women in Myanmar and she does so with no expectations of benefits or rewards. This is why she is someone who should have a page on Wikipedia.

She does not focus on fame while endeavouring for women’s rights and human rights and her efforts have been documented in interviews and articles by various media outlets. In addition, we have added a citation where State-owned media has written about her work. Her wiki page was constructed based on these facts. Thus, we kindly request an AFC review to be conducted.

No doubt that there is reliable sources and well cited. Try to read Myanmar language, don't translate from google. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burmese King (talkcontribs) 08:31, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Burmese King, (1) Read WP:COI and make sure to declare any potential conflict of interest you may have with the subject. (2) Read WP:NBIO, WP:C, and WP:NPOV to know exactly why this draft was declined. (3) I am suspecting this account is a sockpuppet. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nyiminsan. Curbon7 (talk) 09:05, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Curbon7 1, I do not need to do COI because this is no paid or related with the subject. 2, I already read about the rules and regulations about what you mention. 3, I notice this article was decline and author ask for suggestion in group of wiki editor in Myanmar. That's why I got link and clarify what is need to trim and improve community. I do not know how to respond your suspected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burmese King (talkcontribs) 09:13, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Burmese King, The third one is definitely notable. The second one is likely notable. I think the first one is potentially non-notable, so I have tagged it as such. Curbon7 (talk) 10:34, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am really curious, I do not copy the content for the draft Yangon Thu Michelle, she is the same as above mention pages. But she is more focus on community. I do not understand, why can't she on Wiki? The likely notable one you mention is travel and tour company owner, travel blogger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burmese King (talkcontribs) 10:40, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Burmese King, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say here. I'll leave this draft to another reviewer to judge. I don't want to pull the plug on it because there aren't very many Burma-related articles or editors; however, it is very marginal in notability, if even that, in its current state. Curbon7 (talk) 13:21, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Curbon7 My apology for any inconvenience that you face with. I am helping the community, my friend. I am a strong activist who supports local women's empowerment and she is the only one who can do it effectively. I noticed that Yangon Thu Michelle was on Wikipedia page and it will support her work more in the future.
You can check the log, 12:12, 4 June 2020‎ Phyo WP talk contribs‎ m 6,281 bytes 0‎ Phyo WP moved page Draft:Yangon Thu Michelle to Yangon Thu Michelle without leaving a redirect: move to mainspace, the article is well-sourced & may meet WP:BIO.
After a few months later, the user name with MrsSooozyTurtle come out and moved the page to draft because of multiple articles (slightly different spelling) reason.
You can check the log at there " 01:05, 19 December 2020‎ MrsSnoozyTurtle talk contribs‎ m 6,388 bytes 0‎ MrsSnoozyTurtle moved page Yangon Thu Michelle to Draft:Yangon Thu Michelle: Multiple articles (with slightly different spellings) by the same author for declined drafts is WP:GAMING the system. Please allow the proper AfC review process to take place. (via script)"
What I really understand is, it only needs to remove the duplicate page that appears in Wiki. But, there is no need for AFC submission and move it to draft space. So, please re-consider my submission and help me or guide me on how to improve this article I created. I want her article on wikipedia, because she appeared even in the government-issued newspaper, reputable media, broadcast TV, and award winner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burmese King (talkcontribs) 15:20, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 02/01/2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Mylene_97

Hi. My request on the article Draft:Church of San Pietro Apostolo was declined because of lack of sources. As suggested by you I added now another source. Unfortunately is a very small town and is difficult to find many sources. I did my best. The article I created is for a university project. Hope in your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mylene 97 (talkcontribs) 11:14, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mylene 97, I'll take the gamble and accept it, though I don't have the time to do so right now. I'll mark it for review so another reviewer doesn't decline it by mistake, and I'll accept it tomorrow afternoon EST. Curbon7 (talk) 13:37, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thanks for reviewing the draft page for Draft:Jeanette Davis (2) recently. I saw that you declined the page because Draft:Jeanette Davis already exists. I am a college professor and this semester my students did a project researching influential academics and writing wiki pages about them. My student wrote the Jeanette Davis (2) page and is trying to figure out the next steps. The Draft:Jeanette Davis page was declined due to not having enough sources, while Draft: Jeanette Davis (2) has substantially more sources and I think is much more likely to be considered a biography of a notable scientist. Can you let me know what the best next steps are? Should we transfer the text from Draft:Jeanette Davis (2) over to Draft:Jeanette Davis? At that point could it be reconsidered? I am also going to reach out to the editor who declined Draft:Jeanette Davis to ask for their preferred next steps. Thanks for any point in the right direction - I am new to wikipedia but excited to see Jeanette Davis represented in a biography. Thanks for your help! -- Csoconn (talk) 22:57, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Csoconn, Hi again! Sorry for not getting back to you the first time you messaged me, I was on vacation at the time so I wasn't really checking Wikipedia. Honestly, the fellas at the AfC help desk are probably much more capable of helping you in this situation that I am, so please message there. Curbon7 (talk) 00:32, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your response about my draft on Draft:Friedrich Porges

Thank you, Curbon 7, for your response and good suggestions.

Could you please review my article

Hey.

I noticed you have reviewed a few pages in your time at Wikipedia- I am a beginner to Wikipedia and have just finished writing my first article, now the draft is pending for review. It'd be great if you could check it over! I am apprehensive that it will contain mistakes and I will need to wait another few weeks/months before getting another review.
