Hi, I believe you denied my draft biography entry for game designer Arnold Hendrick. I get that I do not have enough reliable sources. I know they're out there but I am working full time still and I don't have time to find them. Is there a way I can ask others for help with this? Thank you.

Hello Nricketts! I think that your draft has improved a lot since I reviewed it. However, the sections "Early life" and "Tabletop games" need inline citations. Even if the sources you have do support it, you need to link them after the correct sentences. You could ask people for help at the Teahouse, where I am a host. You could also add the template ((Template:draft)). Hope this helps! Asparagusus (interaction) 13:18, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you so much for your help. If I get time I may try to add citations. But trying to do anything in here seems more and more complex every time I try. Drafts, Sandbox, user pages--there's just too much. I don't see how anyone has the time to mess with it. Anyway I do appreciate your help. Nricketts (talk) 16:27, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Asparagusus,

I'm not a vandalist. I corrected the playlist of the album of the Rolling Stones "Goats Head Soup" Deluxe edition. "Heartbreaker" and "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" are the same song, so it's not necessary to write two different ways. I just corrected that. Please, don't change my correction. The first time I corrected, I forgot to log in. I'm french and I use to correct french articles.

Greetings. Pigaillem (talk) 15:51, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm so sorry about that. I misinterpreted your edit as vandalism. I should've researched more about the topic before I reverted it. Happy editing! —asparagusus (interaction) ^sprouts! 18:24, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello,

I am writing you because I cannot understand why you (among others) have removed my contributions on Not Just Bikes. The stated reason is that it goes against Wikipedia's policy of NPOV, but, my contributions actually strengthen the NPOV principle. The article was lacking any sort of mention of the critics of NJB, and I decided to give them their righteous space in a NPOV encyclopedia. I felt the need to put the whole quote in the article without omission, as that would be tempering with the quote's original message and I am not qualified to omit certain paragraphs for that reason. I am for a NPOV and against censorship so I ask you again: why did my contributions get deleted?

Note that I also warned against starting a so-called "edit war", there was no response to this. Rather than removing my contribution, might I suggest we have a civil debate in the talk page of Not Just Bikes?

Greetings CommissieVervoersMigratie (talk) 21:20, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello CommissieVervoersMigratie. I'm just going to respond here as this is where you posted. First, I recommend you read the policy on edit wars rather than warn me against starting one, when you could've started the discussion initially after your first revert. No critics have a "righteous space in an NPOV encyclopedia". As Skdb said, any reception section should also have positive/other reception, lest the critique have undue weight. The quote you grabbed was actually a criticism section from another article that was a collection of non-attributed quotes. It was also 2.5 times the size of the article before you added it, which raises a lot of concern about a copyright violation. Saying "Not all people are a fan of NJB" is unencyclopedic. A criticism section should have multiple examples to be due weight. I was not censoring the quote. If you really think that the reader needs the whole three-paragraph, 250-word, multi-unattributed-quote section, maybe just put that in the external links? I mean, first you'd have to make sure the link worked. You have not stated the country that the Commission on Mobility Migration is from, the person who wrote that text, the people who were quoted in that text, and whether the text is translated, which it looks to be based on the prose. Have a good day! —asparagusus (interaction) ^sprouts! 21:44, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Asparagusus:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1600 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I added her youtube as an external link. Just like her a link is there to her web page.

I also added in that she is currently documenting her journey on her youtube. something I though would be of interest to someone trying to understand what is going on with her.. and the source of her documentation.. is her youtube. I am not Jeanne.. but have met her and think that the more information about a humble person would be good.

Can you identify the problem with giving more external links to a topic of interest?

Thank you in advance.. 82.41.88.77 (talk) 13:19, 25 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello IP! Sorry about the wait; I was with family over the past week. The way that you presented the information in the article seemed a little bit like an advertisement. Also, the only source was her YouTube channel, which doesn't show that the information is a notable fact about her. I think that you should just put the link in the external links section. —asparagusus (interaction) ^sprouts! 14:31, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

it was in links.. and saying she is going round the world based on self published blog.. is fine... I just don't get what the deal is.. 82.41.88.77 (talk) 15:19, 28 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Asparagusus I don't know who you are and you don't know who I am but I've been trying to find someone who review my drafts it's been 10 days since I last submitted them again for review and no reviewer has reviewed them since than. I saw your names on the active reviewers list and I thought I'd give you my drafts for you to see and review if they are worthy to be included in Wikipedia as articles. Please respond once you have made a decision to review them or not. Thank you and have a great day!.

Hello IP user! I am not at my computer right now, but I might have time to look at these drafts tomorrow. Luckily, the review queue is only about a week behind, so another reviewer might get to it before I do.

Hi asparagus can you review my articles and see if they are worthy to be included in Wikipedia. These articles meet all general notability requirements for inclusion in Wikipedia and that they are separate languages with their Iso codes and reference codes and names. Here they are. They are also not redirects as Anomie bot and Rober Mclennon only added redirects based on similar names but they are totally different language articles that i have created with information verified and reliable. Here they are.[[4]], [[5]], [[6]], [[7]], [[8]], [[9]], [[10]] 2600:1700:2F01:CDC0:CDB:CEB6:91A7:23BB (talk) 13:09, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
