Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Public consultation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Heckling. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Tidying up page

[edit]

Apologies for terse comment earlier. You were correcting the page while I was also trying to correct it and I kept losing edits as a result. It arose because I had published before checking as I had already lost all the edits in an internet drop-out and was actually re-entering content that had been removed from the original post by somebody who clearly was not a space scientist because the cuts made radically lessened and belittled Jim's massive contribution to space science. Hence my frustration - apologies. Mike MessageInABottle 18:12, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Not to worry: in a few cases I thought you'd finished, so I jumped back in too soon, sorry about that. Collaborative editing isn't always easy, but we'll get there. Storchy (talk) 18:15, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I am a bit slow! Thanks for your help. By the way - I was keen to add Jeff Hughes name to the photo legend and the fact that the picture is published in one of my papers open access under CC-BY (with Jeffs permission: indeed he went to a great deal of trouble to supply it at maximum resolution for me) - in order to prevent its instant removal. The only other picture I have added was one I took myself of the Issac Koga medal that I personally won in 1990 and it was taken down with a (very) terse note that it was a blatant copyright violation! I dont want that happening again!

Thank you very much for all the work you've done on the article. But please note that if Mr. Hughes is the owner of that photo, and it's licensed under CC-BY, then permission or other verification will need to be communicated at Wikimedia Commons: the photo on Commons at the moment appears to have been copied from a copyrighted AGU paper at https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2016SW001438, with no other source information added for that image. Have you got a link to the CC-BY paper you mentioned, so we can rescue it? Thanks.

I do a lot of research that take an hour and you just revert in just 1 click. This time I neither do any grammatical mistake nor add any unreliable website and don't do any mistake this time.

I've tried explaining the problem to you already, and we just don't seem to be communicating well. To avoid further wasted effort, maybe you should try proposing changes at the talk page, Talk:Suresh Raina. There are several editors who seem to have that page on their watch list, so they will also see when you post at the talk page. That would be a good way to get agreement with your proposed change, rather than all this tiresome back-and-forth editing. Thanks, Storchy (talk) 11:59, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK mate thanks Ripomobo11 (talk) 13:13, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Storchy:Hi, Suresh Raina need ce in below sections. Ripomobo11 is doing his editing without providing reliable refs, many editors aware him not doing so, you can read all this at his TP.

Paclobutrazol

[edit]

Hi Storchy

Thanks for starting your clean-up of the paclobutrazol article, which was in a sorry state when I happened to take a look at it yesterday. As you know, I've added a chemistry section and I have some other changes in mind to explain its early and current use. However, I'll hold off for the moment until you have finished your copy-editing. I think that Invasive Spices plans to chip in also, so between us we should arrive at something worthwhile. Mike Turnbull (talk) 13:01, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, very grateful to both of you for your help. I'm not a chemist, so am eminently unqualified to write new content there, but happy to help formatting journal references etc.
It looks as if a teacher somewhere has asked their chemistry students to contribute to that article: as you wrote at Invasive Spices' talk page, it's a series of short, badly-sourced edits from a number of new accounts. Storchy (talk) 13:06, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

You removed a reference I added to a Court decision because I linked to LexisNexis's main page. How do you suggest I refer to the decision? The real link was this, and the link still works, but I think this kind of link is likely to break much more quickly than a link to the main page.Thanks. Briane from Chilliwack (talk) 21:25, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, both the original link and the one you've helpfully given above present only a login prompt, without an abstract or even a title of the decision. It's OK to cite a subscription-only resource: the "cite web" template includes a "url-access" option to show readers that it's paywalled, with a little red lock icon at the end of the reference. But how about we search for some other, more accessible link? Happy to help with this if I can: I've got university access to a fairly wide range of journals, if there's no open access version available. Storchy (talk) 21:45, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There's no problem in finding the decision itself; it's here. But that's a primary source, and to be avoided even to prove that the action was dismissed, I'm told. Also, summarizing it would be WP:OR (I agree with that). I've tried hard to find an open secondary source, believe me. There's this, but it only has a single sentence about Griffith's action, and the explanation is confusing even for a person who knows the law.
Perhaps a combination of a reference to the primary open source and the subscription-only summary would be enough?
If you're inclined to continue the search, the references are [2008] NSWSC 764 and [2010] NSWCA 257. (That's the common way to refer to a legal decision.) Thanks. Briane from Chilliwack (talk) 01:08, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No intentional duplicate template arguments?

[edit]

I used duplicate arguments as a shortcut to mix passing parameters anonymously and by number, forgetting that this puts the page automatically in Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls. So, in the interest of not polluting the category, I take that this trick shouldn't be used even intentionally?

Specifically, I ask because I noticed you applied the auto fix to where I did this, which had the effect of simply removing the trick. I'm wondering if you know of an alternative way of passing that argument containing an equals sign (<span= …) without having to number all the other arguments. Of course, the straightforward way is to just number them all, but I'm always looking for cleverer syntax if it might exist. ;D  —wqnvlz (talk·contribs);  06:03, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Those are good questions, but I unfortunately have no answers. If you do come up with an easier solution, I'd be grateful if you could ping me back about it, and I'll try to document it. Thanks, Storchy (talk) 06:23, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Euon Brown

[edit]

Hi Storchy I was trying to update the Euon Brown page to make it more accurate but seen it has been altered back to the original text. I know Euon personally and he would like to have the page updated accurately. How do we go about doing that? 78.86.165.212 (talk) 10:26, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya, are you User:Gfleary? Best if you log back in first, thanks.
If Brown is a friend or a client of your, then you need to read WP:Conflict of interest carefully, and declare your interest like that page describes. If you do have a conflict of interest, that's OK, but you'll need to propose your changes at Talk:Euon Brown to avoid turning the article into something like a personal website for him.
Information we get from personal experience isn't allowed, because that's WP:Original research. This is especially important in biographies of living people: if we can't find WP:Reliable sources for anything important, like matches played and his personal life, then it can't go in. If you want any help formatting any references you put in, then just give me a shout. Storchy (talk) 10:34, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Nick Phoenix' Birthday

[edit]

Hi Storchy (talk) - Please, let me know, why composer Nick Phoenix' Birthday has been deleted from his Wikipedia page. The Birthday is clearly stated on the artist's official website (see source 2). I'm a bit puzzled, as official websites are often used as source material for such information on on other artist WP-pages. Please, I'm really curious to know why official websites are not valid sources :) Happy Easter, Kmilling (talk) 17:47, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Warning vandals

[edit]

Hi Storchy, When removing vandalism it's considered good practise to warn the vandal on their talk page. This helps to identify problem editors, and warn them of their misdeeds. WP:Twinkle is a tool you could install to help, otherwise the warnings are all listed here. Pabsoluterince (talk) 09:51, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Pabsoluterince, thanks. But I usually do warn user accounts. Which vandalism did I not warn about? Storchy (talk) 09:59, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is the one I was refering to. Do you not warn IP vandals? Pabsoluterince (talk) 10:43, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not often. It's usually hit-and-run vandalism from the IP vandals that I see while doing my reference and template fixing. If they keep at it for more than a few hours, then yes I do. Twinkle looks bloody marvellous, by the way. :-) Will read the docs first and make sure I don't blow things up with it. Storchy (talk) 10:53, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I dabble in twinkle. I think you can control half of Wikipedia with three clicks on that thing. I only really was using it for restoring old versions of the pages, started using it for warnings and it's great. Yeah, I think there's a grey area when it comes to IP vandals. Personally I usually warn them because it's sometimes useful. I don't think I really needed to bring it up. Oh well. If you're looking to test out Twinkle warnings I'd suggest a visit to Recent Changes. Pabsoluterince (talk) 11:00, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'll think a little more about IP vandals, thanks. It is a grey area, yeah.
Holy habaneros! Recent Changes is a firehose, 500 edits in less than 5 minutes. Nobody actually monitors that raw, right? Aha, there are filters... No, I'm backing away from that now, looks like Vandalism Hypno-Hell. Storchy (talk) 11:18, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. If you ever forget the Sisyphean nature of Wikipedia, revert recent changes vandals. It's like taking a bucket of water from a river. I don't really know how productive it is. Sure is fun though. Pabsoluterince (talk) 11:29, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wakefield High removal of issues: May 1

[edit]

Hello Storchy, I am contacting you to ask what I can do to remove the remaining issue warnings on the page Wakefield High School (Raleigh, North Carolina). The main troublesome part of the article, the athletics section, you recently deleted in almost its entirety to everything left that was cited, so I don't think there is a problem there anymore.

I really want to see this page be the best it can be and remove all of the remaining issues, but I don't even know where to begin. In the past when I thought I had removed the issues, you reinstated them (for obvious reasons, it was my 8th edit at the time lol). Either way, I don't know where to start, and since you have done the most recently to improving the quality of the article, I wanted to ask for help. Thanks! --Johnson524 (talk) 06:15, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'd say those issues are pretty much resolved now, so I've removed the templates. Thanks for your work on the citations. Storchy (talk) 06:32, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Moving AfDs

[edit]

Hi Storchy. Regarding this, I get why you did it, but you shouldn't actually move AfDs after they've been listed. WP:XFDCloser, which almost all AfD closers use, relies on the current name of the AfD being present in a daily log to relist correctly. It's not ideal when people move articles during an AfD, but the scripts can handle this I've fixed it all now so the AfD should remain at its current title. – Joe (talk) 10:09, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, thought I'd updated everything linked to avoid problems. You're right, better not to move them. Storchy (talk) 10:10, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see that reference 15 is used twice. It doesn't mentioned Jane's revenge. Am I missing something? All I see is LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — The Lynchburg Police Department is investigating property damage and vandalism early Saturday morning at the Blue Ridge Pregnancy Center on Old Forest Road. Police were called to the center at 10:40 a.m. Saturday . They report the building had been spray painted with graffiti and multiple windows had been broken. LPD says security camera footage shows four masked individuals committing the acts around 1:30 a.m. The center's director didn't want to be interviewed but told ABC13 that what happened is heartbreaking because they try to do all they can to help support the community. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Detective Dubie at (434) 941-9937 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 798-5900. Enter an anonymous tip online at http://p3tips.com or use the P3 app on a mobile device. This is an ongoing investigation. On its website, the center is described as, "The Blue Ridge Pregnancy Center is dedicated to helping men and women faced with an unplanned pregnancy. All our services are free of charge so contact us today. Blue Ridge Pregnancy Center does not provide abortions or refer for abortions." Doug Weller talk 09:27, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. And as I tried to imply in one sentence, many of these are unverified, and attributed to the group by graffiti, or other unreliable means. Apparently there's a Twitter account that is trusted by some media, but if it's just a loose affiliation of like-minded protesters, then it's even more difficult to verify here. Maybe we should add a paragraph about this, what do you think? Storchy (talk) 12:08, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That source and the text it sourced should be removed as clearly violationg WP:V. Maybe go to RSN and ask if sources mentioning only graffiti etc can be used in the article? Get others involved that way? Doug Weller talk 12:34, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaning while someone's cleaning

[edit]

I don't see the point of running a script immediately after someone makes a housecleaning edit. There's a very good chance they're still going to be working on the page, and the likeliest outcome is they'll just force their edits over yours rather than deal with a truly obnoxious EC.

Reverse Discrimination explained as "One must bear in mind that this phenomena is a result of disloyal position of the state towards its own citizens"

[edit]

One must bear in mind that this phenomena is a result of disloyal position of the state towards its own citizens

Not my comment, I wish!, I did read it in a book/study online, but cannot find it again now, it is very accurate and short, which is always a good way to explain something that seems complicated and long.

Listen, with respect, if you can use your powers to find the original author please do. Don't delete something that explains it. Sean4780 (talk) 22:37, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I had a rummage online, but can't find attribution for it in any reliable sources, unfortunately. We also need to observe MOS:EDITORIAL and WP:No original research. Storchy (talk) 08:18, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
found it, and I understand the need of attribution reliable sources, thank you for pushing me to find it again.

One must bear in mind that this phenomena is a result of disloyal position of the state towards its own citizens, where it aims to pursue certain policies that diverge negatively from what is mandated at EU level with regard to nationals of other States which is apparent in the area of EU family migration rights Sean4780 (talk) 11:23, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again, if you are happy with the cite, can you reinstate the explanation, and link the source. Sean4780 (talk) 13:46, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That citation is a paper written by a graduate student, Erik Kotlarik, but he's mostly quoting (in his cite 34 on page 8) from this paper by Hailbronner and Sanchez: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1927198 . He paraphrases freely, unfortunately. I don't think Kotlarik's poorly written quote is useful here, but we could quote from Hailbronner (a law professor) and Sanchez (a référendaire at the EU Court of Justice). Storchy (talk) 14:00, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What do you suggest, something like
"Reverse Discrimination emanates from a disloyal position of the state towards its own citizens." Sean4780 (talk) 15:29, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
you have gone very quiet, perhaps shy, you should not be Sean4780 (talk) 22:55, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I saw you added the Hailbronner and Sanchez citation, thanks. But you've also put that opinion back in the lead section, in WP:WIKIVOICE, sourced by that quote, and that's a problem. It's part of a wider problem with the whole article. Its title is Reverse Discrimination (EU Law), but it reads like a personal essay on how EU visa law has a reverse discrimination problem. It's full of point of view commentary like that, and WP:Synthesis from sources to advance a point of view. The whole article needs an overhaul to fix that, and a rename to clarify that it is only about one very narrow part of EU law. Storchy (talk) 06:46, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, but the only explanations and justifications given by the public servants and courts is that, while being absurd, it's not illegal. That is the only justification given, and I have included it. But I get what you're saying.
quote
Irish high court
"Ireland is entitled to treat its own citizens less favourably than other Union citizens"
German Court
"The German courts have ruled that reverse discrimination does not violate equal treatment as required under the German Constitution, nor fundamental rights or Article 7(2) of the Family Reunification Directive"
Getting back to the post, Reverse Discrimination (EU Law),
I agree the Lead section needs overhaul.
But what about the big section, where it analyses the status in each country, that is where the real meat is,
and it's incomplete, France is missing ! Can you help with it ?
many thanks. Sean4780 (talk) 10:52, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What is the article about? Is it primarily a list of EU countries whose visa laws have been ruled in court to be in breach of EU reverse discrimination law? Also, there is POV commentary throughout the article, not just in the lead section. Storchy (talk) 10:57, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article is suppose to define what is Reverse Discrimination.
How it emanates.
What is the status in each EU state. Sean4780 (talk) 11:17, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There's already an article on reverse discrimination, so that doesn't need to be defined in this new article. Can you please clarify what you mean by "how it emanates"? Storchy (talk) 11:19, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
reverse discrimination and the EU situation are two different things,
The explanation given by Erik Kotlarik explains it perfectly
One must bear in mind that this phenomena is a result of disloyal position of the state towards its own citizens
Don't read it as a POV, it's an explanation. Sean4780 (talk) 11:23, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Since clearly not everyone would agree with that statement (by Hailbronner and Sanchez), it's a point of view. Certainly the politicians who passed the legislation wouldn't think they were being intentionally disloyal to their fellow citizens, regardless of what some courts and legal scholars have said.
I definitely think the article needs to be moved back to draft, and rewritten. Storchy (talk) 11:29, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I talked with the politicians that passed the legislation, they know exactly what they are doing, and it's being done at request from the Home Office and Dept of Justice and equality, so they gain power.
That is the truth. Sean4780 (talk) 11:34, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I urge you to read WP:No original research and WP:Truth. Storchy (talk) 11:36, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm only making a post about a real subject, that people don't seem to grasp.
Read the books please.
This started with your valid point that I need to give a source.
Now the goal posts have moved, and you don't accept books and courts...
"regardless of what some courts and legal scholars have said." Sean4780 (talk) 11:42, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Of course I accept books and courts. We can write "the court ruled..." and "the legal scholar said...", but that's not proof that all of the politicians involved in all the cases listed were intentionally disloyal to their fellow citizens, and it's WP:Synthesis to claim that it is. Storchy (talk) 11:45, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Now you are dreaming of what is the motivation in the mind of the politicians involved.
Stick with facts. As written in books and courts. Sean4780 (talk) 11:48, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"disloyal : not trustworthy; unreliable"
What is your definition of disloyal ?
We are talking about politicians here. Sean4780 (talk) 11:53, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please go back and check the page history, like you should have done before posting angrily here: I never said anything about "too early". That was one of the other editors whose edits you've been reverting the last few days.
I only warned you in an edit summary and at your user talk page about WP:Edit warring. You haven't even bothered with an edit summary until your most recent revert. If you don't like getting warning templates at your talk page, then next time discuss the disputed change at the article's talk page to get WP:Consensus for the changes you want. That's how it works on Wikipedia. Best of luck avoiding that block, Storchy (talk) 08:55, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Patrick Köllner

[edit]

Hello, I've added some more citations to the Patrick Köllner article. Would you say that's enough for verification? Greetings! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wanquanbiantai (talkcontribs) 06:04, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thanks for the extra citations. I think the article needs more WP:Secondary sources: at the moment the references are all links to his professional profiles, Google Books search for his work, and JSTOR search for his work. Has Köllner's work been written about by his peers? At the moment it's not clear from the citations whether he meets WP:PROF. Thanks, Storchy (talk) 09:01, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding those. We can't use a search as a reference, but we can use searches to find good references. I've moved the Google Scholar and ResearchGate searches to templates in external links. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way of linking an author profile in JSTOR, the way we can on ResearchGate. Storchy (talk) 08:19, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Storchy,

You took what was a terrible new article and turned it into a decent stub article. Well done! The page creator was lucky you came by and took the time to improve what he had started. Liz Read! Talk! 21:06, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: Thanks. I actually speedied it as a hoax ("comprised of elves and gnomes", "mastermind in political science", etc), until new account User:Ublaz01 came along, declined the speedy without comment and added a RS to show that he actually exists (their only edit that day). So, erm... credit where due I guess. I then found a second, rather funny RS panning his performance opening for Britney in Saskatoon, and removed the jokey stuff. Not much of an article left: he's a low-notability musician, former hair salon owner, and Hilfiger's nephew.
Page creator then returned a few hours later and tried to re-terrible it: [2]. User:Warfooting might be a compromised account, as its few previous edits seem OK. It looks like a coordinated attempt at a joke article between those two accounts. In any case, I don't see notability by WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG, so I'll take it to AFD now. Hope I'm not disappointing you. :-) Storchy (talk) 05:41, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced & Self Promotional

[edit]

You deleted two of my edits, Langhorne Slim - Strawberry Mansion and Jesse Malin - Sunset Kids, for being "unsourced and self-promotional." I'm new to making edits on Wikipedia and am curious as to why. The information cited in my edits is from interviews that we conducted with both artists, and what I quoted appears in our print fanzines (I included issue numbers); so, there's an actual, physical source where a reader can find these quotes. As for the self promotional aspect, we are trying to share some of our content with fans of these musical artists. If there's a way we can do this without raising your objections, can you let me know here? I appreciate your time. BandboxEditor (talk) 00:42, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Draftification

[edit]

Hello, Storchy,

Please do not move long-standing articles from main space to Draft space. The Tower on the Rift has been around since 2006 so it can not be considered "recently created". My rule of thumb for recently created is articles created in the last 6 months but an RFC on the Village Pump earlier this year stated that articles that are older than 90 days shoud not be moved to Draft space.

So, please, if you see articles like this in the future, either work on improving the article or use an appropriate process of deletion that are available to you. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:46, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I saw the edit summaries from User:Pppery when they moved the three articles back, but you're right to assume I might have missed those. In case you're wondering, I only moved them because they were part of a series with the recently created article; I don't routinely draftify old unsourced articles, even BLPs, and this was a first for me. But a rule's a rule. Thanks, Storchy (talk) 06:15, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

James DeFina

[edit]

@Storchy hi there. I am working on the page for James DeFina. You say he was only mentioned in passing but he is called out as the director of many Post Malone music videos within the first paragraph on many notable sites. This MTV post says the following in the opening hook, https://www.mtv.com/news/qppu9b/post-malone-ty-dolla-sign-psycho-video, "Ever wonder how Post Malone and Ty Dolla $ign would fare in the apocalypse? Look no further than the video for "Psycho." The James DeFina-directed visual sees Malone and Ty stranded in a desert wasteland where only the powers of flamethrowers and R&B music can set them free." To me this is direct and stating James is the notable director. I have sources from CNN, and Forbes as well. Nickgmitter (talk) 03:16, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Nickgmitter: Hello, that passage you cited above is exactly what is meant by "mentioned in passing". The sources aren't about DeFina, he's just mentioned in them. Can you find any articles that are actually about him, like a bio, a profile, something that is substantially about him and his work?
On an important related matter, what is your connection with Mr. DeFina? You have added unsourced biographical detail about him that I can't find online, and there are other details about the article suggesting a conflict of interest. As I've just posted at your talk page, it's important that you declare any connection you have with him. Thanks, Storchy (talk) 07:01, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hurray, an actual article has materialised this time. 🙃 Storchy (talk) 13:51, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Storchy, please look at the editor who has created an article before deciding to move articles to Draft space. Look at their User and User talk pages. This editor has been active since 2007 and has tens of thousands of edits, they have much more experience on Wikipedia than you have. I assume they were in the beginning stage of writing an article and it is kind of an insult to move an artice of a veteran editor to Draft space, one who has previously created other articles. Look at 30th Troop Carrier Squadron, it's a complete article, not the work of a newbie. Some editors don't use Draft or User space and just start and work on articles in main space. Please take a few minutes to assess who the page creator is and possibly reach out to them on their talk page before using the Draftification tools. Often a personal note is much more effective than templates. Liz Read! Talk! 01:44, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There was no intention to insult, and I did check their edit history before draftifying it by script. But it's not really OK for any editor, regardless of experience level, to leave an article in this state in main space for eleven hours. If you're saying just move it to draft, and leave a note, rather than by script (with template), then yeah fair enough. Storchy (talk) 02:11, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 13:21:21, 17 September 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Drapi

[edit]


The Article (Andrej Drapal biography) was rejected because there are no reliable sources cited. This is absurd. In all three books that I have published with different publishers, there is a biography of me cited that is not much different from the one I have posted on Wikipedia. So: Three books cited exist. Institutions I have been working in exist - and my position there can be verified. The biographies published in different places (not by myself) can be verified and compared to what I have posted on Wikipedia. If that is not enough verification options, then nothing is enough. So please consider the rejection once again, especially because I have been very cautious to present only objectively verifiable facts with no bias.

Hello. Please read Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons and Wikipedia:Autobiography. Thank you. Storchy (talk) 13:27, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks,
I have red both, Wikipedia instructions about Biographies of living persons and Autobiography. I agree that autobiography represents a conflict of interest - so please help me finding a third person that can double check facts that I have listed.
Aparto from a conflict of interest, I have followed all other rules, at least as I can understand them. I'm no0t politically involved, but at the same ti9me reasonably well known Slovenian public personality with quite a long history. I have avoided all possible controversial that might be understood as subjective or biased. All institutions I have been working for are public, respectful and verifiable. My birthdate is publicised and verifiable. All three books listed are published and available. Standard Branding model is publicised in the book Brandlife. I Feel Slovenia brand was contracted with Pristop and me as a leader of the team that developed that brand. II Feel Slovenia is known and praised worldwide and frequently cited in scientific papers. I have avoided all other possible achievements, that could be understood as plain self-promotion. If these is something else that challenges the rules of Wikipedia, I7m willing to remove it or I give a permission to an editor to remove it.

The promotional tone can be fixed. The main reason that the article isn't ready for publication is the lack of independent, secondary sources for all the things you've written about your career. This is explained in more detail at Help:Referencing for beginners, and at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, particularly in this section and this section.
To pick an example at random from the article, secondary sources are needed to verify these sentences:
  • "From 1991 to 2011, he was a partner of the first and still largest public relations and marketing agency, Pristop."
  • "He founded the first professional lobby association in Slovenia (1996)"
Ideally the references should be cited as footnotes, but that can be sorted out later. For now you can just add them to the bottom of the article. Storchy (talk) 15:32, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
