Heyo Theroadislong Im a long time freestyle wrestler who is sure about everything in the article but I am having a rough time finding resources more precise than the ones I have cited. Some I have found to be marginally better but they are all behind paywalls, can you help me in any way? SheneganShaw (talk) 20:38, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Re draft Draft:Lat Drop references behind a pay wall are fine, please add them. Theroadislong (talk) 22:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Well thats the issue, I'm unable to read them to cite exact pages. SheneganShaw (talk) 00:50, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Is it possible to use reputable video instructionals as references? SheneganShaw (talk) 19:35, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

SheneganShaw See Wikipedia:Video links for advice. Theroadislong (talk) 19:51, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Many thanks. final request for now, I am having a lot of trouble properly setting the images in the correct places on the page, can someone please assist me in this? SheneganShaw (talk) 01:23, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

What was the issue this time? my sources are from Olympic wrestlers and follow all the video rules. SheneganShaw (talk) 18:36, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Sorry I don't understand your question? You have added YouTube links as references and submitted it for review again, I will not review again I will leave it for another reviewer. Theroadislong (talk) 18:44, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Oh, my mistake, the system said you had declined it again. SheneganShaw (talk) 20:01, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Request for Feedback on Revised Draft Submission

Dear Theroadislong,

I hope this message finds you well. On October 27, 2024, my draft article about Gaetano Minale was rejected with the feedback that "the references in this presentation do not demonstrate that the topic is suitable for a Wikipedia article." Since then, I have revised the draft, updating and adapting it in line with Wikipedia's guidelines and your previous comments. If you could kindly review the changes or provide further guidance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards, InfoExpertWriter InfoExpertWriter (talk) 19:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Your draft was declined not rejected and there has been no improvement since, adding two external links to a blog and a catalogue of theirs isn't helpful. Theroadislong (talk) 19:05, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing and responding to the draft. I appreciate your input and the clarification about the sources. I wanted to ask for your guidance on one point: Gaetano Minale, the subject of the draft, is 86 years old, and many of his significant achievements, especially those from the 1960s-1990s, are documented in physical catalogs, awards, and books that he has preserved in his archive. Due to the era, these are not available on independent websites or digital platforms.

Would scans or photographs of these original documents be considered acceptable references? If not, could you please suggest any alternative ways to cite or validate these achievements within Wikipedia’s guidelines?

I appreciate your time and any advice you can provide. InfoExpertWriter (talk) 04:40, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Sources do not have to be online but they do have to be published, photographs of original documents are not acceptable. Books are absolutely fine, just give the publisher mame, title and page number. Theroadislong (talk) 09:02, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Your thoughts on Gerard Gertoux would be appreciated

I accepted it at AFC (after requesting removal of create protection), and have subsequently decided I was incorrect and sent it to AFD. One of those actions was good, probably. It's a complex set of references and article wording, and exposure to bright light would be useful. Getting to the meat through all the mashed potatoes is difficult. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 23:19, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes I did look at it briefly when you sent it to AFD, and decided it was such a mish mash of an article I couldn't come to any decision at all. I'll have a look in the morning when I'm more refreshed. Theroadislong (talk) 23:24, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

It needs a very clear head. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 23:50, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

On Notability + Primary Sources for David Steinberg article

Hi, I see that you looked at the article I just drafted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Steinberg_(journalist_and_photographer) I have addressed both the issues of notability and primary sources on the talk page article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:David_Steinberg_(journalist_and_photographer)#Notable_and_Primary_Sources_are_not_a_problem_here_from_the_Article's_drafter Please consider removing both tags. I understand that these things can be complicated, but I have been editing (and sometimes drafting) articles about authors both living and dead. I feel I addressed the issues you raised. Thanks. Robert J Nagle (talk) 23:32, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Sourcing Context for Zahedi Ahmadzai Draft

Thank you for reviewing my draft on Zahedi Ahmadzai. I’ve added citations to support each statement of fact as much as possible. However, I wanted to provide some context regarding the sourcing challenges.

Zahedi Ahmadzai, has made significant contributions to Pashto literature and Islamic scholarship, particularly in Afghanistan. Due to limited internet access and infrastructure in Afghanistan, much of his work and other academic resources in the region have not been digitized or made available online. Therefore, many of his publications and contributions are accessible only in physical form within Afghan institutions and are not easily available through typical internet sources.

I have cited offline sources where possible and included references to his known works and recognized institutions, such as the Afghanistan Centre at Kabul University, where some of his publications are archived. I hope this explanation clarifies the sourcing limitations and provides insight into the context of Afghan academics.

Thank you for your understanding, and I’m happy to make further adjustments if needed. Abdulmusawir88 (talk) 10:35, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

If Draft:Zahedi Ahmadzai has made "significant contributions to Pashto literature" there will be reliable sources reporting this, they do not have to be online, but they do need to be independent of him. Theroadislong (talk) 14:14, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Radhika Gupta Page

Could you please let me know the reason for declining the submission for Radhika Gupta's page? If possible, could you point out the specific areas where you found issues? We will work on correcting them as soon as possible. Mackmahak (talk) 10:26, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Who is "we"? Wikipedia accounts are strictly single person use. Theroadislong (talk) 10:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

GlobalPlatform

Hi, you rejected my draft. Can you point out which of the issues is the reason you've rejected it? In my view it does meet the WP:GNG. PhotographyEdits (talk) 17:58, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

I declined your draft Draft:GlobalPlatform I didn't reject it. I may have been unduly influenced by the previous 6 deletions, but felt that the coverage wasn't enough to pass WP:NORG, I may be wrong, feel free to re-submit I will not review again. Theroadislong (talk) 18:13, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Ah, sorry for using the wrong term. Thanks for your answer, I will submit it again. PhotographyEdits (talk) 19:23, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Register.BG Page

Hi Theroadislong,

Do you think the newly added references in the Draft:Register.BG (positions: 1 and 10)
"Register.BG - Registration and use of domain names at ccTLD registry"
and
"Bulgaria Internet Company Launches Domain Names in Cyrillic - Novinite.com - Sofia News Agency".
together with the reference at position 3:
"Domain Registration and Transfer - SuperHosting"
will make the draft eligible for publication as article?

My userpage

Hi, I'm a bit puzzled as to how and what information should I provide in my userpage. This time when I created userpage, the edit summary was filled with userbox information. So this time I requested CSD. CometVolcano (talk) 15:19, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

OC and NGC 2736 were my previous usernames. But I closed those accounts and did not give email ID and forgot passwords. If you go through my edit history, you will see I am definitely not new user. --CometVolcano (talk) 15:22, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

So you need to disclose this on your user page, you have now requested deletion 11 times. Theroadislong (talk) 15:24, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Article Submission

Hello! You just rejected my article for submission, I was wondering if you could provide why and what I can do to have it approve submission! OPRunner (talk) 20:15, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

There is nothing you can do you have zero independent reliable sources and it's just blatant advertising. It has been rejected and cannot be re-submitted. Theroadislong (talk) 20:58, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Please approve my submission for Dr Blossom Kochhar

Hi,

I have done a few edits to neutralised the tone of writing and added the right source and communication point to it. Please check and approve, your help is highly appreciated. Jpant007 (talk) 07:34, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

You have not submitted Draft:Dr Blossom Kochhar for review also a number of other equally poor quality drafts of this topic exist, please only edit one of them, the sources are not sufficient to establish and notability. Are you being paid for editing by any chance? Theroadislong (talk) 08:05, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

No, am not getting paid and not associated with any organization too. Jpant007 (talk) 08:11, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
