Some baklava for you!

Hi. I wanted to know what was the issue for flagging the content I wrote for Pratibha Tiwari. It was original content with relevant links and citations. Could you please tell me why it doesn't meet the notability criteria of Wikipedia? Sidd13 (talk) 05:12, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sidd13 - Thanks for the baklava (even though it's not really my thing

). The article has now been moved into draftspace so that you can work on it. Right now, they have had a single notable role, therefore they don't pass WP:NACTOR, which is why I redirected in the first place. Barkeep49 has, in my opinion, rightly moved to draftspace, since the current version is undersourced and therefore doesn't show that they pass WP:GNG. Please read the guidelines on WP:GNG and WP:RS (for guidance on reliable sourcing). Hope this helps. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 22:06, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Alan Aisenberg

Hey, I don't mean to be a brat but I've had this draft waiting for over 8 weeks and no reviewer's even left a comment on it. You've had a look at some of my contributions before so that's why I approached you. Davykamanzi → talk • contribs • alter ego 20:01, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Davykamanzi - Done. Although, if he hadn't won the Emmy, he probably wouldn't qualify under WP:NACTOR. His only notable role is in Orange is the New Black. Regardless, nice job. And you're not being a brat, AfC has a huge backlog, and sometimes it can take a long time. This actually should have been approved (imho) a while ago, since the Emmy makes it pretty much an easy decision. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:51, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969: Thanks for taking the time to review it. I know editors aren't meant to approach reviewers and ask them to review drafts so that's why I felt a bit bad asking you to do it. Davykamanzi → talk • contribs • alter ego 08:59, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dab fixes

Thank you for all your help in fixing the wikilinks to disambiguation pages. I'm very sad to see that you've been put in a position where you feel unable to continue. We all make mistakes, but overall you've consistently made great improvements to Wikipedia. I hope you'll be able to rejoin us when the time is right, but I'll understand if you feel that the project no longer deserves your support. We'll miss you. Certes (talk) 20:17, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Certes - Thanks for the kind words, and yes we do all make mistakes. Thought I was helping, but I try to stay away from negativity, and incivility. The fact that you have experienced editors make comments and then don't understand how they could be construed as uncivil is remarkable. The ANI chose not to focus on the tens of thousands of correct dab edits I made, and chose to focus on the 50 or so errors I had made. I admitted the mistakes I made on Theophany were absolutely a lack of understanding on my part (I misconstrued the difference between the two, and got about 30 out of 1200 dabs wrong). Regardless, keep up the good work, but I've given my word not to work within the project anymore. Take care. You're a good and kind editor. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 22:09, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969:, Hi, I have reviewed the article in whole and make comment there, my conclusion is to keep (per comment there), do see anything you will like to discuss. Thanks --Quek157 (talk) 20:37, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tag unreadability tag?

One of the reasons I rarely contribute to en: these days is that their rules have become totally unreadable. Where once people would have considered a weakness in an article a reason to improve it, now it's a reason to slap a tag on it that doesn't tell the reader what's wrong with the article, nor does it help, or indeed invite, the original writer to improve the article.

I've corrected the article on the Vasa run as it still claimed it was the longest, which it isn't any more. To avoid merely saying "No it isn't!", I added a page on the current longest cross-country ski run (as far as I know): Pendlerrennet. If you want something improved about the article that you can't improve yourself, than ask me for something specific. In my experience people merely slapping on tags will eventually just lead to the information disappearing from Wikipedia. Aliter (talk) 12:02, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
