AFC reviews

Hello, Vanderwaalforces,

I was following up on a new editor's draft and noticed that you are archiving questions about your draft reviews before you've taken the time to respond to draft submitter's questions. For new editors, you are their primary contact for Wikipedia, where they go to with their questions about how they can improve their work.

If you don't have the time to respond to questions about your draft reviews, then, please slow down and do fewer draft reviews. Archiving legitimate questions about your reviews is basically telling them to go away. I realize that it takes more time to respond to editor questions than it took to review the drafts but it's part of the responsibility of an AFC reviewer. Put yourself in their shoes, they worked on a draft that they expected to be accepted and now they want to know what to do to get it approved. If this too time-consuming, then there are plenty of other editing tasks you could take on that don't require this level of accessibility and interactivity. Please consider if reviewing drafts and talking with new editors is really how you want to spend your time doing on the project. If not, there are PLENTY of other activities you could take on.

Thanks and I hope you are having a relaxing weekend. Liz Read! Talk! 04:07, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks! I just extended my talk page archive period to 7 days. Just an FYI, I don't find it time-consuming to reply to anyone. I decided not to reply to some of them because they have either been replied to elsewhere or are obviously not here for the good of the encyclopedia. I also hope I can contribute to the "PLENTY" other aspects of Wikipedia.
Thank you because I had a very relaxing weekend, and I hope you did too. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 20:44, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Diclined Draft:Khayalethu Anthony

Good morning Vanderwaalforces. Thank you for reviewing the above draft. I'd like to enquire about the irrelevant sources you've found on the topic and how may I work on improving it. The subject's external sources are TVSA, DStv and IMDB. His most sources are in the United Kindom and South Africa such as News 24,wikisouthafrica.co.za, and his appearance on Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is prominent. Please help me on ways to improve it. TshepoR (talk) 06:47, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TshepoR Hi there. I appreciate your interest in improving the draft. I have some advice for you on how to do that. One of the main issues with the draft is the lack of citations to reliable sources. For example, in the first paragraph of the "Personal life" section, you only have one citation, which is after the subject’s name. However, this citation is invalid, as it refers to a source that does not exist in the draft (that is why it shows an error in red). Therefore, it is as if there is no citation at all in that paragraph.
In the second paragraph of the "Personal life" section, you have two citations after the first sentence, but none for the rest of the paragraph.
The second paragraph of the "Career" section has no citations at all.
In general, you should provide at least one (or at most, two) citation for each claim you make in the draft. For example, after the sentence His dedication led him to further his education at the New Africa Theatre Academy, where he delved into the study of acting and performance., you should add a citation to a reliable source that supports that statement.
Similarly, after the sentence During his time there, he notably portrayed the character of John Proctor in a production of The Crucible., you should also include a citation to a source that verifies that fact.
Also, this Notably, his talents extended to scriptwriting, earning him a nomination for Best Script Writer at the Baxter Theatre's 2012 Zabalaza Theatre Festival. and this Following this, in 2012, he ventured into television with his debut role as a security guard in an episode of SABC 1's romantic comedy-drama series, Forced Love..
There are many other statements that need citations in the draft.
Please note that these citations should be from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject. They should also be secondary sources and cover the subject significantly or to a reasonable extent.
If you can do all these (adding citations, etc.), then please ping me, and I will review the draft.
I hope this helps, happy editing. Regards, Vanderwaalforces (talk) 08:24, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Environmental issues in Myanmar

Dear Vanderwaalforces, Hello, I was going to accepted Draft:Environmental issues in Myanmar but I saw Environmental issues in Myanmar is already created by other user in past and they currently redirect to Myanmar , so, can you tell me, what should I do now? Thnx :)~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 09:38, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Aviram7 Greetings! Simply do a G6 for Environmental issues in Myanmar, when an admin deletes it, you can now accept the draft. Meanwhile, since you have reviewed the draft and thinks it makes sense, you can mark the draft as under review. Hope this helps. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:41, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Vanderwaalforces, Thanks for replying me. Thnx :) ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 09:46, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Anytime ;--) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:59, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Aviram7 I saw that you've marked the redirect manually. Did you know Twinkle can help you do this efficiently? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 10:02, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Vanderwaalforces, Yep! I'm aware about that but I feel confortable sometimes to manually tagging for deletion without using of twinkle.Thnx :)~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 10:06, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hehe, nice! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 10:18, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Vanderwaalforces, Can Afc reviewers have right to accepted her past decline submission? Thnx ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 11:11, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Aviram7 I understand your question. You want to know if you can accept a draft that you previously declined. The answer is yes, but it depends on the situation. If the creator of the draft has made some improvements and the draft now meets the requirements, then you can accept it. However, if the draft is still the same as before, you have two options. You can either decline it again or leave it in the queue for another reviewer to check. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:24, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm...I recently declined Draft:Philip Ikeazor for WP:COPYVIO but now copyvio content removed from this submission and creator of this submission have submit for re-review, and I already tagged this submission as Marked as under review . Thnx :) ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 11:32, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Aviram7 Yeah, I see, and it appears that Jimfbleak has helped remove the copyvio. Now you can go ahead and review the draft against any other requirement. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:36, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can you help about that, I think this person is notable because he is a depty governer of central bank of nigeria, I search about this person on google, He received more WP:SIGCOV. Thnx :)~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 11:47, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Aviram7 You can simply click on the accept button. I also think the subject received SIGCOV. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:32, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Vanderwaalforces, I accepted this submission, thanks for your opinion. Thnx :) ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 13:47, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Anytime. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:50, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Draft. Sidd Ahmed

Hello. Our draft was declined due to its references not showing significant coverage of the subject. If you could explain what type of references you are looking for or give clarification in to why the current ones are not acceptable. Thank you. SpearsMax (talk) 21:24, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SpearsMax Hi there. What do you mean "Our draft" though? Is this a coordinated effort to write an article for Sidd Ahmed? And it appears that you have a conflict of interest which you need to declare.
Either way, the sources cited in the draft are either primary sources, connected to the subject or are sources that do not satisfy WP:SIGCOV. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 07:36, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cigéo

Thanks for your help with all those fixes. I'm sure they would have taken me ages even if I'd known what needing doing. AlmostReadytoFly (talk) 09:29, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@AlmostReadytoFly No problems. I was wondering why the article was pending review for years, so I just worked it out. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 10:02, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Van der Waals Prize

Hey, I'll leave this one for you. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 21:33, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ha! I think that might be a WP:COI. :) S0091 (talk) 21:35, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh no! Lol, I already did. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 21:38, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Be careful about citing essays rather than guidelines because essays do not have community consensus. S0091 (talk) 21:41, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@S0091 That's true, thank you! But, the draft still doesn't pass, right? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 21:42, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The relevant notability guideline is GNG and agree, it does not pass. What I see time and again with awards is they always want to tout notable people who have received the award but notability is not inherited. In addition, most often the awardees have already received a major award, like they are already won Nobel prize so of course they will get these other low level prizes. It's meaningless. S0091 (talk) 21:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@S0091 That's a huge point you have. Many thanks :) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 21:56, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiOriginal-9 If this is the only review I do today, it's worth it. Because, lol. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 21:40, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
