Dear Tol,

Thanks for reviewing my article and pointing out the drawbacks. I have edited them and resubmitted them.

I would like you to review the article considering that there are several sections from the Manifesto and the Authored announcement of the Art movement, which could sound peacocky but they are not. The sections were taken from the announcement and the Manifesto might be descriptive and emotional but art is what is discussed in the article.

Also, guide me regarding the links to be used as sources.

@ArtWriter ArtLover: Your edits have not fixed the problem with the draft. The wording is nowhere near neutral, and I just found out that substantial portions of the draft were copyright violations of this. Copying material from other websites is prohibited unless that material is properly licensed. I have removed the copyright-violating content. Nearly all of the text in the draft is promotional. Just because the draft is related to art does not exempt it from our neutral point of view policy. I also noticed that you added "© Lilit Nshani (All rights reserved)" to the draft. If material is written by someone else, copyrighted, and not properly licensed, it should not be in Wikipedia; such material should be removed. If you wrote the material, by publishing it, you agreed to release it under the CC BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL licenses, so your rights are not all reserved. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 15:56, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

please clearify the part of copywrite violance. I have added the reference to the source and added the menton about All rights are preserved. I also have the writen permission of the people whos words are put as part of the article. ArtWriter ArtLover (talk) 16:06, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tol,

Thanks for all your work on the Feedzai page. I'm so happy to see it back up again and really appreciate your efforts to clean it up.

I do have one question: how do I add a company logo to the information box? I couldn't figure out how to add an image to that section.

Ssfdz (talk) 15:11, 11 May 2022 (UTC) Ssfdz[reply]

@Ssfdz: First, the file needs to be uploaded. From Feedzai's website, I found this logo. Is this logo correct? Tol (talk | contribs) @ 15:38, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's the correct one. Ssfdz (talk) 17:03, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tol - where does it get uploaded? Ssfdz (talk) 17:27, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssfdz: Because it's a simple logo (letters and a stylised arrow), I don't think that it meets the threshold of originality for copyright protection. This means that it's in the public domain, so it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. I've uploaded it there as c:File:Feedzai logo, 2020.svg, and added it to the page's infobox. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 19:19, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again @Tol! Ssfdz (talk) 19:48, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, @Ssfdz! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 22:13, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tol: Issues have been resolved if you wish to take another look, save for the copy-vio tag that requires an administrator. It appears that the organization list was the main culprit, but a few sentences were verbatim. I found a better source, albeit with slightly less information present. I've cleaned up a bit of puffery as well. Thanks for the review, it's greatly appreciated. Etriusus 17:33, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Etriusus: I'll take a look. I find non-English sources a bit hard to assess, so I'll err on the side of assuming that they're good reliable sources. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 19:01, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Etriusus:  Accepted. I do recommend adding more high-quality sources to better establish notability, if you can. Thanks for your work on this article! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 19:06, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tol:, there was one source that was unreliable, and likely a resume. It was cut during the first review. I did a bit of digging to see where the copy-vio issues came from, and oh boy it was a rabbit hole. Realistically, the Albanian Page This page for Delina Fico needs to be flagged for WP:CV, citing another wikipedia page, and using a resume/unreliable citation. It was my mistake in trusting the version I was working with. Thanks for re-reviewing and accepting the page.

The Albanian Wiki specifically wanted the page translated, so I assume it meets notability. I'll continue to foster the page, translating to English takes time, unfortunately. Frankly, I dislike the Wikipedia Translation tool interface, I'll probably just translate pages by hand from now on (DeepL doesn't have an Albanian language translator either). Etriusus 19:17, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Etriusus: I don't know Albanian (nor am I familiar at all with Albanian Wikipedia), so I wouldn't know how to do that. As for the re-review, no problem! I don't think notability is entirely clear here (especially because of the non-English sources, for me), but I do think that you've done a good job with the starting material (and thanks for taking care of the copyvio)! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 21:26, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Please see this draft. There were objections about the sources. As a result, dubious sources were removed as well as some fragments of the text. Thanks. Валерий Пасько (talk) 19:28, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Валерий Пасько: Sorry, but I don't think I'll review this draft. I'm not an administrator, so I can't see the content of the deleted page Vladislav Sviblov to see the extent of the draft's similarity to it. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 23:03, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think the article in its current state is suitable for transfer to the main space? Валерий Пасько (talk) 19:18, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Валерий Пасько: Currently (by itself), I think the draft still has some fairly minor issues that should be resolved. For example, there are some potential neutrality problems ("innovative technology", "more than 100 tons of gold"). I also find it difficult to assess non-English references, so — while I think the subject is notable — I can't easily verify that. If it wasn't for the previously deleted article, I'd probably accept it. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 19:30, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I removed these text fragments and added some English-language sources. Thank you for your cooperation. Валерий Пасько (talk) 20:36, 15 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Валерий Пасько, could you please translate "род. 1980" in the lead to English? I think it's pretty much ready for acceptance. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 03:08, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Валерий Пасько (talk) 07:42, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Валерий Пасько:  Accepted. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 20:24, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the feedback, I will work on revising it to reflect the neutral perspective. This is my first ever article so I will take my time before submitting for another review. Shart290 (talk) 22:58, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Shart290: No problem; thanks! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 23:09, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, i have made a Wikipedia page for n-fusion. I had the original idea of doing that in Line Of Sight: Vietnam. I have absolutely no bloody idea on what i am doing, i have cited some recourses, but i have no way of citing more and expanding more, i’ll try my best from making this sound like an advertisement. But i have no more info available, Should i give up, or keep digging?. Fetviper8 (talk) 23:28, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fetviper8: I don't think that tone is a major issue with this draft (though removing their mission statement would probably help in this area). If you can find any more quality references (from reliable and independent sources) which establish notability, then I'd suggest that you add those and resubmit. If you can't, then N-Fusion probably isn't notable. Given that they have released several notable games, I think there should be enough coverage to establish notability. I also couldn't figure out what the graph in the history section is for — did you intend to add the graph, or should I remove it? Tol (talk | contribs) @ 23:35, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tol: i have added a graph there because of the steam stats, it will take some time to look into steam and find all of their games. Also, i have changed the heading so there would be a bit more clarification, should i look into steam? Or should i rely on another source i have already looked into? Fetviper8 (talk) 23:42, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fetviper8: I believe that some content on Steam is self-published, but data on game revenue is probably reliable. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 23:49, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tol: well, how should i improve it other than removing the goal? (Also, then the heading would need expansion, how do You think that’s going to happen?) Throw Me Ideas. Fetviper8 (talk) 00:04, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fetviper8: I've done some general cleanup. I would work on adding more sources to establish notability. News coverage would probably be your best bet. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 00:10, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tol: ill get working on it, i will notify you when i have found more tomorrow in a new section. Fetviper8 (talk) 00:19, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fetviper8: Sounds good; thanks! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 00:26, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update

@Tol i have done research, research, and more research. The progress really paid off, from 4 references, To 28! I have added a game review section, since i couldn’t find anything important in news stuff. What should i do it now to polish it up so it wouldn’t get requested for Speedy Deletion. Fetviper8 (talk) 20:07, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fetviper8: I don't think it's in danger of speedy deletion. Right now, my primary concern is that there isn't much information (or many accompanying references) about the company itself — most of the draft is about their games. This could make it difficult to demonstrate notability, because notability is not inherited. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 19:39, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your review. I removed all mentions of awards and the adjective "novel". Please let me know if now it looks good. If you find any further issues, please let me know what they are so I could fix them (I cannot see any at the moment, and just a general statement of issues with the formal tone would be hard to understand). This is my first new article. I modified existing articles in the past and might be missing something.

 Declined for NPOV issues (some examples of issues are "more than 40 buildings", "first ever team", "visionary"). Tol (talk | contribs) @ 19:22, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you so much for watching my article. I have deleted these text fragments and additionally deleted other information that may violate the neutral style. Could you watch it again? Thanks!31.40.143.16 (talk) 06:43, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Declined again. There's still more (for example, "a leading developer of cybersecurity solutions" and "already included some major Russian companies"). Tol (talk | contribs) @ 20:36, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments. I have deleted this information. Please take a look.31.40.143.16 (talk) 20:50, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Tol,

Have republished the above page again with various references. Request to have a check and Approve on priority. Sangnak Consultants — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanganakconsultants (talk • contribs) 07:44, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sanganakconsultants: Because this is the English Wikipedia, the entire page should be in English. There should not be paragraphs in Hindi; those belong on the Hindi Wikipedia. In addition, the references still do not demonstrate notability. Quora and Facebook are user-generated (which means anyone can write something on them), so they are not reliable. Bing is a search engine, not a source. Blogspot blogs are self-published, so they are not reliable either. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 20:34, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Tol, Thanks for the Prompt feedback. I will remove the Hindi text accordingly. Kindly let me know about acceptable References. to approve this page. Sanganakconsultants (talk) 07:47, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:List of presidents of the United States, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Please stop changing other user's comments, (including markup), and trying to micro-manage discussion threads. They are just fine without your interventions. If you really feel a change to someone else's edit is absolutely required, then post a notice of such under a new sub-thread, further down. Otherwise, the page seems fine just as it was, just as so many other talk pages are, without your contributions. Thank you - wolf 04:19, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Thewolfchild, I will point yet again to TPG § Editing others' comments; in particular, the bullet point "Fixing format errors...". I am more than familiar with TPG, so I don't see the necessity of using a template warning.

I've left the two outdents (instead of just one); if that's what you prefer, I don't mind. However, Kavyansh.Singh's comment at 08:15, 17 May 2022 (UTC) cannot be indented because it has a collapsed block. Collapse blocks cannot be indented properly, so such a comment should be outdented. Per the same bullet point, "Examples [of acceptable formatting fixes] include fixing indentation levels...".

If you really want a notice for all such changes, then I'll try to do so in any discussions with you. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 16:35, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Or, you could just stop worrying about the need to manage talk pages in such a manner. My comment would've been at the 8th level of indent, so I outdented it which is not unreasonable or uncommon. The following comment by KS had a lenghty list of linked articles with bullet points, which was only at the 1st level of indent, but for some reason you felt the need to indent the whole post to the 9th level, squishing it over to the right. That was not an improvement. It would've been simpler to just outdent his next comment, the one with the col template, or... just leave it as it was. This version, just prior to your changes was fine as it was and really didn't need any modification. It's not clear which "layout errors" you really felt needed to be "fixed", but WP:TPO starts with:
"It is not necessary to bring talk pages to publishing standards, so there is no need to correct others' spelling errors, grammar, etc. Doing so can be irritating. The basic rule, with exceptions outlined below, is to not edit or delete others' posts without their permission.", so you should probably start with that as well. Have a nice day - wolf 18:44, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
