Good morning, I've asked other users to help me remove the banner of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Omenya, you've put up by correcting the text. They've done what they can, but I don't understand how I can remove the banner. Videke (talk) 17:31, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
French: D'accord. Le problème est que l'article as tros de réferences ([1]), qui encombrent le texte. Tu peut résoudre le problème par 1) enlèver les réferences non-essentielles- un bon réference est meilleur que plusieurs de qualité moyen; 2) si tous les sources sont nécessaires pour supporter les contenus, tu peut fusionner plusieurs réferences comme ça: [2] (expliqué à Help:Citation Merging) Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 22:11, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to kindly request a review of a draft I have created titled "Juiceslf - Nigerian Rapper, Singer, and Songwriter." I believe this draft meets the notability criteria and provides valuable information about this talented artist in the Nigerian music industry.
The draft highlights Juiceslf's background, career, notable releases, and his impact on the music scene. It also includes references to reliable sources that support the information presented.
I have put significant effort into crafting this draft and adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. I believe Juiceslf's story deserves to be shared with the larger online community, contributing to the diversity of musical profiles on the platform.
I kindly request that you review the draft at your earliest convenience and provide any feedback or guidance for improvement. I look forward to your expert assessment and assistance in bringing this article to Wikipedia's readership.
Thank you for your time and consideration. If you require any further information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Best regards,
Jejeki (talk) 21:52, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
I'm rather surprised that you have not responded to my reply from your last review stating that this draft does not adhere to some of Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. I was able to provide examples of similar articles of public figures and notable personalities that mimic exactly what was being portrayed about this individual and his philanthropic records that have made it on every Wikipedia page. We keep wondering why these other articles were accepted and met all criteria and this one hasn't. Every reference used and sources included came from his original archive that he granted permission to be used and links had been attached thus far. We are indeed out of options here and, for lack of better terms, frustrated with the entire process. We are not looking to profit in any way, shape or form from any of this. The main objective is to let the world know that there are people out there who may not be the Bill Gates, Warren Buffets, Elon Musks of this world but have given their time and life in service to so many and they do not ask anything back in return. Such individuals are worthy of recognition and praise and this platform can create a space and audience for them.
Thanks for your time and attention to this. Please let us know in due time what can be done to in this regard. Quoraji (talk) 23:32, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
Hey, you recently reverted an edit of mine because of citations but I dont see what to cite as I was removing something not adding, also with regards to the Cyprus landing, its generally referred to as the invasion of Cyprus. 87.228.137.42 (talk) 16:10, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Inaccurate description of the event. If you believe the article to be innacurate, feel free to raise the issue on the article talk page, where you can discuss the article with other editors and reach consensus. Thank-you, Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 16:14, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi. What evidence is here for the name to misspelled? It seems to me to be an accurate transliteration. His name was not "Игорь" but "Егор". See [1] and [2]. Graham Beards (talk) 16:54, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
Hey, you recently reviewed a new page and it seems based on the comments left it wasn’t thoroughly reviewed. The sources provided are legitimate and fully verifiable. “Greek Reporter” is one of the biggest news organisations for Greeks worldwide, as is “Proto Thema” and “Playboy GR”. Others you’d have to be familiar with Greek news networks. Those were articles written specifically & independently about this person and not passing mentions. Some references added by various users seem to be passing mentions however those should not negate the major verifiable ones. Thank you GP75S (talk) 05:53, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

109.112.150.204 (talk) 22:57, 6 August 2023 (UTC) The information about Leonardo Self Portait in english version of Wikipedia are old and incorrect. New material studied confirm the realization of the drawing around 1517-1518, when Leoardo was in France. There is a lot of new material about this topic in italian language. The Royal Library calls it Self-Portrait. Carlo Pedretti has always described it as Self-Portrait. Wikipedia cannot exclude the most up-to-date studies on the drawings. We apologize for the sincerity, but the elimination of bibliographic updates published by important Italian institutions is misleading, partial and ignorant and very serious.

Hey there. Just wanted to ask why did you close this discussion as "keep" when there's a clear consensus for retargeting? CycloneYoris talk! 22:57, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello Edward-Woodrow,
Concerning your proD of the article about Little Ukraine, what about redirecting the page to Yanina Studilina, the lead actress? Up to you, of course. Best, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 18:32, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
Hey Edward, I appreciate your clerking at RfD (it can always use more help), but I saw a few things that I would like to point out:
Relisting debates repeatedly in the hope of getting sufficient participation is not recommended, and while having a deletion notice on a page is not harmful, its presence over several weeks can become disheartening for its editors. Therefore, in general, debates should not be relisted more than twice. Users relisting a debate for a third (or further) time, or relisting a debate with a substantial number of commenters, should write a short explanation either within the ((relist)) template, or in addition to it, on why they did not consider the debate sufficient.Saying "Last try..." does not explain why the debate is not sufficient. If there are no new comments since a previous relist, that is a good sign that it is time for closure.
If a good-faith RfD nomination proposes to delete a redirect and has no discussion after at least 7 days, the default result is delete.I can see a case for giving this one a relist due to the fact that it's a redirect from merge so a closer may desire a bit of extra time for editors to look over the underlying content, but that should ideally be explained in a relist comment.
I hope this doesn't sound too nitpicky because none of these are really that big of a deal. I just thought it would be helpful to keep some things in mind when deciding what to do with a discussion. Thanks again for your participation in RfD and hope to continue to see you around! -- Tavix (talk) 22:27, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Hey there, I noticed you put out a notice to move Varanus salvadorii to Crocodile monitor. It seems to me that such a move is not completely uncontroversial due to the multiplicity of common names, and probably needs to go through Wikipedia:Requested moves instead. Because of this, I reverted the talk page move and reverted the cut and paste move that had already been done. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. bibliomaniac15 21:39, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
The redirect Biden Crime Family has been listed at redirects for discussion to determine whether its use and function meets the redirect guidelines. Anyone, including you, is welcome to comment on this redirect at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 August 14 § Biden Crime Family until a consensus is reached. -- Tavix (talk) 00:23, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello! Totally random message but I just wanted to say that I am extremely grateful for the positive tone you often seem to use on Wikipedia. It's not often that I read random talk pages and come across a user as kind as you! Just wanted to remind you that it is valued (at least by me) and is worth your time to be nice. Have a wonderful day! Chlopim (talk) 19:10, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Soooo...I just fixed a template that was causing archive date errors on 200~ cephalopod pages. Does that count as 200~ or 1? It feels like it shouldn't count as 200 since it was a 5 minute fix. ~ Argenti Aertheri(Chat?) 10:47, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
I think you misinterpreted my FFD as a deletion request and hence closed it prematurely as keep. Neither keep nor delete were possible results given my rationale. A possible result would've been "Keep in article A, remove from article B, C and D". Is it possible to undo a close or do I just make a new FFD? You were not the only one who misinterpreted it so I don't blame you for it, I apparently should have worded my rationale more clearly. Jonteemil (talk) 13:38, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello Edward-Woodrow,
I just wanted to let you know that I started your listing at the reward board, because I was confused about whether I had to tell you that I started. Good day. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 02:13, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I agree in every way to what you are saying with your open letter to the Wikimedia foundation. But that rather critical reference to 2018 made me think of something. And I looked it up again as memory might be playing games with me. But no, there was no section where people could critique and disagree with the letter’s message and implications. While it might seem good to have such a section, the ones who are opposed to the message can easily express themselves somewhere else then on the message itself. That is why I am suggesting you to remove that section completely, as it doesn’t give a new opinion on the debate and only makes it so that the discussion is leaning toward the opposite side. There is more then enough support for the funds (on another note that also means way less support for this then in 2018, where the debated subject had much more people willing to sign). It still remains your decision, obviously, so make of it what you will. But in my opinion the fact that this section exists will even more diminish the number of signatures. Reman Empire (talk) 18:13, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
Hey,
I was hoping you could pull the letter for now? I would prefer to work out a broader and more coordinated plan at User_talk:BilledMammal/2023_Fundraising_RfC first. Part of the intent there is to discuss grants, but with specific grievances and specific requests, and I would rather not exhaust the community with two separate village pump discussions on that.
I would also compare it to this letter, sent in 2022, that did get results. In comparison to that, I don't believe yours is ready to ask for signatures. BilledMammal (talk) 18:22, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that a few days ago that you removed part of the header to the teahouse with that said skip to the bottom. I understand an argument that it was redundant but you didn't provide a reasoning to your edit so I reverted it. I'm open to discussion though. Esolo5002 (talk) 19:42, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
I saw that you closed this RfD yesterday. I’m just leaving you a message because I noticed that you had participated in the discussion earlier on, and so (if I’m understanding the guidelines correctly), it occurred to me that it could be seen as a closer being involved. I apologise if I’ve missed or misunderstood anything, as I’m quite new to editing Wikipedia, but I thought I should let you know just in case. (To be clear, I didn’t take part in this discussion and don’t have an opinion on it; I just noticed it and thought I should let you know.)

Wikipedia may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive—even exceedingly so. Attempting to ensure that articles and images will be acceptable to all readers, or will adhere to general social or religious norms, is incompatible with the purposes of an encyclopedia.WP:OM also says
Wikipedia editors should not remove material solely because it may be offensive, unpleasant, or unsuitable for some readers.Thank-you. Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 16:07, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

A sincere thanks for your removal at ANI. It's always hard to know the minds of other people, and maybe I was totally off base in my request, but I appreciate that at least one person in the discussion took a critical comment well :). Not that your fundamental observation was unreasonable -- there's are reasons we have WP:OWN, and one of them is to prevent people from getting so emotionally involved in protecting 'their' articles from any perceived slight.

What is your problem with Nthaab Enterprises page. Ruud Gwirambira (talk) 19:27, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi Edward-Woodrow,
I'm a bit confused with your reason for declining the draft: Patrick O'Neil (author). You stated, "Needs more references for verification and WP:BLPSOURCE: all material likely to be challenged needs an inline citation." Yet with four of the five "citation needed" areas; a citation of proof of a degree, a citation for proof of teaching position, I checked other wikipedia listing of authors, and they were not required to include citations for the same references.
Examples:
Tod Goldberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tod_Goldberg
Ivy Pochoda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_Pochoda
Leonard Chang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Chang
I'm wondering why this is needed for this listing.
The 5th citation request for this entry: "He stopped working with Dead Kennedys after their last show with the lineup of Jello Biafra, East Bay Ray, Klaus Flouride, and D.H. Peligro, at U.C. Davis in 1986.[citation needed]" What exactly are you requiring needs a citation?

If you would like you can already close RMs and then file RM/TRs with "Perform requested move, see talk page" whenever you cannot implement a "moved" outcome. (Twinkle helps with filing RM/TRs by selecting TW > XFD > RM > Uncontroversial. Or it's even easier with User:TheTVExpert/rmCloser.) I'm personally happy to help with fulfilling those, since I also did that. You don't have to wait until you have page-mover permission.
For the most part, the only RMs that aren't closed pretty quickly after elapsing are the ones that don't have a clear consensus, since in those instances the closer should be particularly experienced (or, some would say, an admin), and they are more difficult to determine. Similarly, the RM/TRs that wait around for a while are often ones that ought to be contested, require more checking, or don't have a good reason for the move.
You can also already go to WP:RM/TR and reply to requests that are potentially controversial (or have other issues). If you want to help with implementing RM/TRs requiring page-mover permissions, it's best first to be quite familiar with title policy and naming conventions in order to check whether the requests should be contested. When a controversial request is implemented with a WP:ROUNDROBIN, it's harder to revert (i.e., users who want to later revert it have to figure out how to request an RM/TR), so it helps to scrutinize them well. That can be more complicated than closing simple RMs, since with RMs people will have likely pointed out any relevant guidelines. SilverLocust 💬 00:33, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
Thankyou for closing Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 September 5#Desperate (song) but as I mentioned due to Desperate (song) having substantial history and Desperate (Fireflight song) not having the edit history of "Desperate (song)" should probably be moved to "Desperate (Fireflight song)" and then "Desperate (song)" redirected to the DAB, thanks. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:41, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions to Wildsee (Pizol). Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

@Edward-Woodrow: Sorry, I didn't realize the "submit technical request" button hasn't been working on the script. I have submitted an edit request to fix that. The page was never actually moved, and no technical request was submitted. (However, this was a move-over-redirect that could be done without page mover, since the existing redirect Intelligence failure has has never been edited. See WP:MOR.) You can reopen the discussion simply by undoing the close edit. SilverLocust 💬 18:46, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Best Cultural Institution Award, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Rejoy2003(talk) 19:59, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Edward-Woodrow,
You draftified this article TWO minutes after it was created while the article creator was still working on it. Please do not be so quick to draftify or tag for deletion a recently created article or one that is being actively improved. Put yourself in the position of the content creator and allow them some time to craft a good article, add references, smooth out the prose. Not every editor chooses to use Draft space and some work directly in the main space of the project. The general rule is to allow editors at least an hour to improve articles before taking action on a recently created article. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:53, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi. Regarding your message here, [3], please note that the IP is the same sock-puppeteer doing the disruptive moves (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Anup Rajbanshi). He repeatedly creates new accounts, moves articles and redirects to random locations to hijack their content. Then logs out and changes redirect back.

I see you closed the Analytical Procedures Rfd, but it looks like instead of moving Draft:Analytical procedures to mainspace and then retargeting the capitalized redirect at issue there, you copied the content into the capitalized form? Graeme Bartlett then moved it to the lowercase form. Ultimately this was a cut and paste move that should be fixed, given that your edit summary didn't provide attribution as to where the content originated.
