[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to [[:John P. Stenbit]]: you may already know about them, but you might find [[Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace]] useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the [[Wikipedia:sandbox|sandbox]]. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandal]] when they've been previously warned. ''Just a suggestion from me to count how many times the user has been warned so that other editors can take actions accordingly. Thank you, Happy editing!''<!-- Template:Uw-warn --> [[User:NP83|NP83]] ([[User talk:NP83|talk]]) 21:59, 10 April 2023 (UTC) |

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Kahootz Toys]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Toy of the Year]]. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small> |

No worries. Happens a lot, actually — usually about 25% of the articles that I encounter when I'm dealing with the uncategorized articles queue turn out to be ones where the categories are already there but have been "hidden" or "commented".

Hello, ArcAngel, |

Thank you for relisting AFD discussions when they are unresolved and it is appropriate to do so. Lately, there have been fewer participants and patrolling admins going through AFD discussions (summer vacations?) and I get concerned when I'm the only editor who is doing the relisting. It's nice to see other editors like you and CycloneYoris helping out. Thank you for your contributions. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 00:32, 15 August 2023 (UTC) |

== Suggestion to save work == |
|||
==[[Draft:Katharine Butler Hathaway]]== |
|||
It is only a suggestion, but I've noticed you are migrating a load of old AFC submissions to the Draft: namespace. My suggestion is simply to let them stay where they are on the basis that they do no harm there and will, eventually, self weed from the system. EIther we will accept them or they will wither on the vine and be G13d. |
|||
Hello, ArcAngel, |
|||
FYI, you draftified this article because you state it had been declined at AFC but I looked at the page history and didn't see that it had ever been declined. In fact there is an edit summary that states it "completed AFC". And even if it had been declined by an AFC reviewer, the page creator can still move it to main space (although it's not advised) unless there is a COI or paid editing involved or the article had been previously deleted at an AFD. It's recommended that editors use AFC but that is just so they are given ample time to work on an article and make it unlikely it will be tagged for deletion...but AFC is not mandatory for anyone but paid editors. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 02:50, 16 August 2023 (UTC) |
|||
I started out migrating them, too, but found I was likely to make errors that I could not clean up without admin help, and I found it to start to be work for work's sake rather than moving the project forward. You may disagree. |
|||
:Sorry if I caused any undue workload. I am trying to get more involved and thought that I would try clearing the backlog at Category:AfC_topic_used_in_wrong_namespace. Apparently I still have a lot of Wiki-learning to do.

|||
I even used to move them when I reviewed them. No more. Now I accept or decline them where they are. i do move those in user space to Draft: space, but not as a matter of course, just when I happen across them. I am less busy than I was because of this. I think the quality of my reviews has gone up, too. [[User:Timtrent|<span style="color:#800">Fiddle</span>]] [[User talk:Timtrent|<span style="color:#070">Faddle</span>]] 12:24, 8 August 2014 (UTC) |
|||
:I appreciate the input, but I am one who doesn't mind the work. {{Smiley}} Besides that, I feel the reason why the draft namespace was created was because article drafts really don't belong in a "talk" space. I don't move drafts that are in userspace though (as per [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_107#Proposed_new_Draft_namespace|this discussion]]. I am reviewing some as I go along and accepting or (re)declining them as needed - really just trying to make a small dent in the humongous backlog {{Smiley}}.

:::either way is good--the original idea was that they would simply be worked out, but any way of getting them looked at is worthwhile.

::::Yea, I am not really "cherry picking" them, I am just going through the list and moving them to draftspace, and doing a copyvio check as well as a quick check for sources. My plan is to come back at a later time to revisit them and try to get them up to Wikipedia standards. I noticed that on a lot of these the creator has pretty much "disappeared" from editing, so it's up to the existing editors to flesh these drafts out. I also try not to G13 anything that you or Anne have removed as I am sure you have your reasons for doing so.

|||
::::::What you're doing is extremely helpful. (though you will find it very difficult to get back to all of them--I know I have quite a backlog). Remember that the standard is merely a good chance of passing afd & nothing outrageously wrong otherwise--you will find about 1 in 20 declined for trivial reasons that should have been accepted. If you can help with the obvious, then Anne and I can more easily work on the others. I'm very glad to have found someone else joining in on this .

:::::::Very glad to help out, AfC really needs all it can get right now, it seems. I know eventually that all will be at the very least looked at. I too noticed that there is a lot of duplication in drafts in WT:AFC and draftspace, so that is also helping to eliminate those. Perhaps it's a small chunk of the backlog, but my goal is to have it manageable given enough time.

|||
::::::::I wish it were true that all will get looked at. The very few of us working to catch them before they get deleted can not keep up in the least. I can easily tell for a hundred 6-month old AFCs a day which 20% of them are certainly hopeless and which 10% are almost certainly acceptable. What I cannot do the same day is take the 70% and improve them to acceptability, or even see if they are likely to become acceptable if rewritten---for the only way to do that right is to try to improve them and see if one succeeds. Even if I did nothing else at WP I could do 10 to a minimal level of stub or start, unless the topics were really formulaic. If I tried to do to it more completely I might perhaps do 2 or 3. But there are many things else to work on, like the probable half million existing promotional articles and the million or so that need to be updated--and all the really interesting problems. And the need to encourage good new contributors , which is the most important thing I can do here. |
|||
:::::::::Your choice to clean up duplicates is particular helpful--these are the sort of things that should have been cleaned up soon after submission, not left to linger. A great many arise because people get discouraged by irrelevant reviews, and try the same thing over -- and often in mainspace. One of the hardest things to do is give effective warning that a topic is not going to work without being insulting. '''[[User:DGG| DGG]]''' ([[User talk:DGG| talk ]]) 11:22, 10 August 2014 (UTC) |

::::::::::Yes, it's a fine balance of helping the new editor and trying not to alienate them from contributing, for sure.

Hello, |
|||
Thank you for your concern about that film. However there is a strong consensus that a film with 2 reviews may be considered rather notable, specially when it received other coverage (such as the article in ''[[The Hindu]]''). I mentioned this in a precedent edit summary. I am therefore removing the tag(s) again. Should you disagree, feel free to take the page to Deletion discussion. Thank you. Also please note, as another user has mentioned on another page, that '''one''' notability tag is enough. Thank you. -[[User talk:Mushy Yank|<span style="font-family:American Typewriter;color:#6F4E37">My, oh my! </span>]][[User:Mushy Yank|<span style="color:#36454F;font-family:American Typewriter;font-size:13px;">(Mushy Yank)</span>]] 08:25, 29 August 2023 (UTC) |

Dear ArcAngel, first of all thank you for taking your time to review two of my recent submissions. From what you have done, I feel that you might be in a hurry and did not really have time to look into both submissions. For the company article, please not just check "news" for notability, not look more closely at those really related to what this company is doing: Scholarly Publication. Given it is publishing four very well recognized journals as it is shown in most recent SCI Journal Citation Report, this company deserves an article. If not, many articles on the similar publishers should be removed from Wikipedia. |

Also, part of the reason for me to revise and resubmit this company article was because of DGG's comments that he wrote under the first submission. This comments is now right below your comments. Please go check it again, and may talk to DGG if you think it might be helpful. I'm hoping that you could reconsider your decision on this company article given the fact that it is a very well recognized among the scientific communities although you may not find it in newspapers. Thank you again for your time and consideration. |

== Userbox removal == |
|||
Hi, I'm looking at this ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Bulletrajabc&diff=620708822&oldid=620611773]) edit, and there's a problem. While you are correct that the user in question was not a reviewer, ''you'' are not entitled to police other accounts' userboxes. Please be informed that there is no policy supporting your claim that a users choice of userboxes need be accurate. There is, however, policy restricting how you may edit another user's talk page, and removing another user's userboxes may be considered disruption or vandalism. Thanks! [[User talk:Betafive|betafive]] 15:16, 11 August 2014 (UTC) |

:In this case I applied [[WP:IAR]] since the editor was displaying disruptive behavior and was a [[WP:SOCK]] account as well so I feel that I acted in the best interests of Wikipedia.

::While I chose a different route and gave the editor with the box a stern warning and request, I understand that rationale and agree that removal of the box was appropriate in these restricted circumstances.

== COI at AFC causes me immense perplexity == |
|||
We appear to allow it on the basis that we will beat it out of the draft. We also allow paid editors to use it as a vehicle to get their work into main space. I dislike the different rules for different places. I find it irks me in the same way that football players get articles for a 1 second appearance in a qualifying game, but an academic must jump through 27 assorted hoops to qualify. |
|||
So, even though I hate it, I work with it, and try to beat it put of the draft. [[User:Timtrent|<span style="color:#800">Fiddle</span>]] [[User talk:Timtrent|<span style="color:#070">Faddle</span>]] 21:27, 11 August 2014 (UTC) |

:Well yes, as long as the draft/article is written neutrally. This is the problem with COI - most editors who have it can't do that, and this might be one of those cases. I thought it best to disclose the COI in this draft because it appears that there are issues with trying to get it neutral in tone.

::Lodge {{Tl|Connected contributor}} on the talk page, filling out the yes parameter and the diff of the statement made by the editor, and make sure, if it is ever accepted, that this goes with it.

== Tags on Evan Blass == |
|||
Hi there. I'm the author of the self-submitted Evan Blass page. Just wanted to give you a bit of background info about the submission. While still in my Sandbox, I brought the draft into the Wikipedia-Help IRC room for suggestions. I was very clear that I was the author of the page, and wanted to know if it met notability requirements, and if there were any formatting or citation-based issues that needed addressing (there were). Several admins offered suggestions, and everyone participating in the discussion agreed that the final draft was suitable for article publication. In fact, one admin said that it was most NPOV-adherent article he'd ever seen from a person close to the topic, while another commented that he was going to start using my case as an example when people asked him "how do I get in Wikipedia?" |
|||
In short, I took great care to ensure that this article was written in the acceptable style, was formatting-compliant, and went through the proper approval channels before publication. Thanks, [[User:EvanBlass|EvanBlass]] ([[User talk:EvanBlass|talk]]) 13:17, 12 August 2014 (UTC) |
|||
:The tone of the article doesn't matter. The tags are accurate, and are added whenever autobiographical articles are created. [[User:ArcAngel|<span style='color: #ffb612;background-color: #1e1e1e;'><b> ArcAngel </b>]] [[User talk:ArcAngel|(talk)]] </span>) 14:41, 12 August 2014 (UTC) |

::ArcAngel, I was PMd on IRC by [[User:EvanBlass]], asking for my opinion on this. The point of the tag is ''not'' to shame the contributor, but to ask for other Wikipedians to help clean up the article, because it doesn't meet policies. Can you point out any content on that article that should be changed(that you can't- [[WP:SOFIXIT]]) because of NPOV issues? Anything that is bad because it is written by the subject? In my personal opinion, your response was very [[WP:BITE]]y to a contributor that has been very polite to you. I've removed the maintenance tags for now, if you reinstate them, would you mind if you send me a talk page message? Thanks.

:::If my responses seemed bitey, they weren't intended that way. I was simply making an accurate assessment (the way I understood them) on the tags, and I placed them to let others know that the article creator was the subject. Is that not how COI tags work? And as [[WP:AUTO]] suggests, writing about oneself is not encouraged. I'll just let this play out without any further intervention.

::::COI tags are added so that Wikipedia articles can be identified as needing maintenance or cleanup.

Please undo your close at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/KJTB-LD, it violates WP:NACD and WP:BADNAC per the Do not close discussions in which you have offered an opinion, or for a page in which you have a vested interest (i.e. a page that you have edited heavily).
and you clearly offered an opinion. SportingFlyer T·C 17:15, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
AFDs
Hello, ArcAngel,
Thank you for relisting AFD discussions when they are unresolved and it is appropriate to do so. Lately, there have been fewer participants and patrolling admins going through AFD discussions (summer vacations?) and I get concerned when I'm the only editor who is doing the relisting. It's nice to see other editors like you and CycloneYoris helping out. Thank you for your contributions. Liz Read! Talk! 00:32, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the kind words. I try to do what I can. :-) ArcAngel (talk) 02:16, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, ArcAngel,
FYI, you draftified this article because you state it had been declined at AFC but I looked at the page history and didn't see that it had ever been declined. In fact there is an edit summary that states it "completed AFC". And even if it had been declined by an AFC reviewer, the page creator can still move it to main space (although it's not advised) unless there is a COI or paid editing involved or the article had been previously deleted at an AFD. It's recommended that editors use AFC but that is just so they are given ample time to work on an article and make it unlikely it will be tagged for deletion...but AFC is not mandatory for anyone but paid editors.

- Sorry if I caused any undue workload. I am trying to get more involved and thought that I would try clearing the backlog at Category:AfC_topic_used_in_wrong_namespace. Apparently I still have a lot of Wiki-learning to do. ArcAngel (talk) 04:43, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Thank you for your concern about that film. However there is a strong consensus that a film with 2 reviews may be considered rather notable, specially when it received other coverage (such as the article in The Hindu). I mentioned this in a precedent edit summary. I am therefore removing the tag(s) again. Should you disagree, feel free to take the page to Deletion discussion. Thank you. Also please note, as another user has mentioned on another page, that one notability tag is enough. Thank you. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 08:25, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
