Question from EncreViolette (16:03, 9 July 2024)

Hello, and nice to meet you. I've created a few drafts for pages. I'm still not sure what happens next. I submitted one for review. (Draft:Frankenstein (2014 musical) There's some information that's needed that I don't have access to. I asked someone to send it, they sent it in Korean, neither they nor I can translate it. I've also created a draft for another musical called Cross Road. If it's not too much of a bother, may I ask what's needed for that one?

Sorry for bothering you. Thank you. --EncreViolette (talk) 16:03, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

@EncreViolette Hello! On foreign languages you don't know, one method is to use google translate, hope for the best, and then ask in places like Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Korea if someone can please check your writing for horrible errors. It's not perfect, but it can work fairly well. You have submitted Draft:Frankenstein (2014 musical) for review, what happens next is... you wait. A reviewer will eventually accept it or tell you why they won't.

On Draft:Cross Road (musical), that looks like a good start to me. If possible, you should improve the reception section. For any WP-article, your first hurdle is always WP:NOTABILITY, and in an article like this, the sources you want for that are often some kind of reviews. As long as you have at least 3-5 WP:N-good sources, things should be ok. Since I don't know Japanese and can't tell a Japanese The Times from a Japanese blog, I have no idea if you have that.

One thing you can do if you want is using Template:Interlanguage link if you know that some of the people you mention have ja-WP articles but not en-WP ones.

One example is Kento Kiuchi . You write it like so: {{ill|Kento Kiuchi|ja|木内健人}}.

Hope this helps some. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Ah, okay, thanks. (His name is actually Ki*no*uchi, but a lot of people confused that in Japanese as well). Thanks! EncreViolette (talk) 12:23, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello,

I have added more sources to the draft for Cross Road. I get the sense that a top-5 newspaper is an ideal source, and a "blog", or something that looks like a press release (because it doesn't have a byline?), would not be a good source. But real life is full of things in between that.

I've found a bunch of sources that are not top-5 papers, but not just blogs, either. They don't seem like hard-cutting journalism, but some had bylines. Some were interviews with the cast. There were some with amazing photos taken by the outlet's staff, with no credit besides "staff". They weren't hard-cutting journalism, but they're an indication that someone thinks people care about this show. (tl;dr), Are those good sources?

The top 5 papers seem to only cover the top 10 or so theatrical productions, out of hundreds every year. The magazine Musical had critics vote on the top musicals of 2023. 47 new productions received votes, and of my personal top 3, only one received any votes at all (the directors of the two productions that didn't get votes did get them, though). That's just an indication of how much theatre there is here. Should the top-5 newspapers cover more? I personally think they should, but I'm just one person. I have asked Broadway World and The Japan Times why they don't cover more theatre in Japan. I haven't yet gotten a response. Are the productions that didn't get covered by Musical's awards notable? One was from Korea and has had several runs, and probably more coverage, there, and might have had more international runs besides in Japan. It's on my list to make a page for, but not at the top since I don't speak Korean. The work itself seems notable just because of how many runs it's had. The other had a lot of press coverage, and a review in Musical, so I would try it, but since the source material has a page already, it's not at the top of my list.

I've added the interlanguage link that you suggested, and I will add more. I have started a page for Theater Creation, the venue. I need to do more research, but I find it interesting. I will probably be able to find more sources. EncreViolette (talk) 13:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Are those good sources? I have no idea. Some may be, some may be more or less WP:ABOUTSELF, etc. "Good" depends on context, and sources that do not support the case for WP:N may be useful anyway for various facts etc. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:13, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

> I've found a bunch of sources (online magazines and news outlets that seem to have replaced paper theatre magazines) that are not top-5 newspapers, but not just blogs, either. They don't seem like hard-cutting journalism, but some had bylines. Some were interviews with the cast. There were some with amazing photos taken by the outlet's staff, with no credit besides "staff".

What I'm asking is if what I just described would count for anything for notability. EncreViolette (talk) 08:54, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Like I said, I have no idea. They may be WP:BLOG-ish, WP:RSPDEADLINE-ish or something else-ish. They need to be independent and cover the article-subject in some detail. Use your best judgement, and assume that the reviewer will use their's. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:06, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

EncreViolette.tte, I have no idea why you have fixated on the notion of top 5 newspapers but that concept is of zero value on Misplaced Pages for evaluating sources. All we care about is reliability. If the top 2 newspaper in a given media market is a lying piece of trash, then we don't use it. If the #27 outlet upholds journalistic standards, then we use it. Cullen328 (talk) 09:16, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

What I mean is that the newspapers of record here do not cover theater as extensively as the New York Times does. Some people were saying that if it isn't in a national newspaper of record, it isn't notable. I searched the theater sections of those newspapers, and saw that only a very, very small portion of plays are covered by them, and that some that are not do already have English Misplaced Pages pages.

The anime and manga project lists the source I've found as reliable, even though it isn't one of the three newspapers listed for Japan on the newspapers of record page. I guess my question has been answered. Thank you. I hope the pages make it through review. EncreViolette (talk) 11:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the link to the list. I hadn't seen that list before. It gives me a better idea of what to look for. EncreViolette (talk) 11:12, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Great, that's what it's for! While it may seem like a huuuge list, it's actually a drop in the ocean. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:46, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Jeri1984 (07:27, 19 July 2024)

I want to create a Misplaced Pages page, not edit one, How do I do that? --Jeri1984 (talk) 07:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

@Jeri1984 Hello! Making an acceptable WP-article without knowing how to edit WP is hard. A common advice is to "just" edit for a while first, to try to get a hang of this place.

That said, your first hurdle is "Can a WP-article about your chosen subject be written at all?" Start with reading WP:BACKWARD. If you conclude "Yeah, I have those sources, no problem!", move on to WP:YFA. If your choice of topic fails WP:N, the article will not be accepted. If you decide to go ahead, you need to learn how to add references correctly, WP:TUTORIAL can help with that. This is crucial, and I can't stress that enough. If you intend to write about a living person, read WP:BLP. If you intend to write about yourself (WP:COI), the short advice is "don't."

As an example, when I start drafting an article, I begin something like this: . Get the sources in there, then re-read them, then start adding text, citing as you go along. Hope this helps some. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:49, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from MV Moosa (12:47, 2 August 2024)

Hello Gråbergs Gråa Sång

I am new to Wiki and you are my assigned Mentor. Thank you! :)

A colleague of mine asked looked at my Wiki profile, (In my name which is Mohseen Moosa). He asked me to log on and repair/edit it because it was inaccurate not a proper reflection of my background, education and my bio history.

I did the edit a little while ago and a user said I must give sources. So I went back to instead to the edit on visual which shows my involvement in the edit. Another user then removed that edit.

They both have said I should ask an independent person to review my edit. Are you the right person to do that, or if not, how do I go about doing the edit.

I have not written anything incorrect or controversial, its just my own life story and short biography and its a very neutral, honest and fair bio.

Can you guide me?

I am happy to send it to you to have a look at it.

Kind Regards Mohseen --MV Moosa (talk) 12:47, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

@MV Moosa Hello. In short, stop editing the article. Take the time to read WP:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing, WP:COI and WP:BLP. A WP-article about you is not supposed to be written by you, that is sort of the point of this website.

A WP-article about you is supposed to be a summary of published and cited WP:RS that are independent of you, it is not your social media, or part of your PR. No good published source, no article content. This doesn't work at all because there are no cited sources, WP:PUFFERY and other reasons. "Because I say I am Mohseen Moosa" doesn't work here, that is what your own websites are for.

You can make suggestions at Talk:Mohseen Moosa, and if other editors think they are good, they may act on them at some point. This may not be quick, since almost everybody you "meet" here has WP as a hobby.

Hope this helps some. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:53, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the guidance Gråbergs Gråa Sång .

I will place the edits on the talk page and wait for suggestions. That seems like a sensible way to do it. Please will you also have a look at it for me.

I was just recently made aware of the content by a colleague.

Some of the content on the page is just factually incorrect and makes WP look sloppy and unprofessional. Like for example, I AM NOT MARRIED TO DAPHNE NEETHLING!, she is my life partner, I never had a 5 year sentence!, my name is spelt incorrectly!, I was not born in Lenasia!, The reasons for the liquidation of African Romance are incorrectly cited! and there is a whole lot more to me than 9 years in politics! I am 61 years old. I am a winemaker, and a farmer etc ... LOL :)

So as you can see that WP is really sloppy if it persists with these kinds of inaccuracies and if they require "sources" to verify that I am not married to a person, or where I am born. How do I provide a source to show I am not married to a person, or that I was not born in Lenasia etc.

I am going to a dinner with friends now, I will upload my edits to the talk page after that.

Once again, thank you for your kind assistance.

Best Regards

Mohseen MV Moosa (talk) 15:09, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

@MV Moosa I will take a look. And yes, Misplaced Pages can often be sloppy and unprofessional, Wikipedians tend to edit what they please when they please. English Misplaced Pages has about 6,9 million articles and about 114 thousand active editors, so there is a lot of things that don't get a lot of attention. However we do like to get things reasonably right too, especially when it's about living people. Ping to @Materialscientist and @ToBeFree if you want to involve yourselves. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:17, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping. I have removed the most severe issues and would hope for MV Moosa to make an edit request on the article's talk page for something more specific than replacing the entire article. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:58, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Btw, WP:A picture of you may be of interest. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:56, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Newforgood (15:59, 6 August 2024)

I am the founder of a brand of hop water, which is a non-alcoholic alternative to beer. (Food & Drink) I am therefore bias. I do however feel that there should be a Misplaced Pages page on "Hop Water." but there is not currently. It is s frequently searched term on Google and other search engines. Currently its the fastest growing style of beer in the US, but is small relatively at the moment. If a page is created, I would want it to be unbiased per Misplaced Pages guidelines. What is the best way to go about finding a neutral author? I made the mistake of hiring a neutral author on Upwork and the page was immediately taken down due to the credentials of that party, but not because it was biased. (as far as I can tell) Thank you in advance for your guidance. --Newforgood (talk) 15:59, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

@Newforgood Welcome! What are the 3-5 best sources you know that are at the same time reliably published (WP:RS), independent of people like yourself, and about hop water in some detail? This excludes blogs, wikis, hop water makers websites, etc etc. Fwiw, you caught my interest, I've edited kombucha a bit. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:08, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Btw, the default assumption around here is that anyone offering to edit WP for money is probably a WP:SCAM, but I don't know what you were promised. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:11, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

As an example, this is the kind of source that will make a WP-article "stick": . One is not enough, but it's a start. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:14, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for supplying the link This is one of the many articles written about the hop water category. That article included my brand as well as many others. Should I just reach out to the authors who have published these stories and point out that there is not a Misplaced Pages page on "hop water" and see if they would be interested in independently publishing/ authoring one? Newforgood (talk) 16:27, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

@Newforgood I will take a shot at this, I'll get back to you within a week or so. WP is my hobby, so it won't cost you anything.

But again, feel free to mention/link any good sources you can think of. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:33, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Here is the work that the independent researcher did. This should help you with sources.

Hop water is a non-alcoholic carbonated beverage made by infusing hops into water, providing a non-alcoholic alternative to traditional beer. Unlike other types of non-alcoholic beer, hop water typically has zero calories with 0.0% alcohol, and is gluten free.

== History ==

Hop water first started selling in the early 2010s. Paul Tecker of H2OPS, a California-based company, introduced one of the earliest versions of hop water in 2014, using hops steeped in water to create a carbonated beverage with the bitterness and aroma of beer but without the alcohol content.

Subsequently, other breweries and beverage companies began producing hop-infused sparkling waters, leading to more hop water brands appearing in the market.

According to NielsenIQ, hop water is one of the fastest-growing drinks in the non-alcoholic beverage category. Notable hop water brands include H2OPS, Hoplark, Lagunitas, Sierra Nevada, Summer State HOP WTR, and Athletic Brewing.

== Preparation ==

It is typically made by steeping hops in water or infusing them into the beverage through various methods. Some brewers may use whole hop cones, while others utilize hop oil or extracts.

Additional ingredients such as yeast, citric acid, or natural flavors may also be added to enhance the taste of the beverage. The beverage is available in different flavors derived from the various hop varieties used in its production. Flavors can include citrus, pine, tropical fruit or floral, depending on the specific hops used.

Thank you in advance for tackling this and please take your own approach. Having a familiarization of Kombucha is a good background, considering that this is a beverage type that is unfamiliar to many. Hop water is different from Kombucha however in that it is not fermented. Both however are used as alternatives to alcohol. Best wishes. Newforgood (talk) 17:51, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

@Newforgood, Hop water is now an article. Like everything else around here, it's a work in progress. You (or your minions) should not edit it directly yourself (outside WP:COIADVICE), but you are welcome to make suggestions at Talk:Hop water. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:03, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Wow - that is a very robust start to the page. Nice work! The only suggestion is that I would spell out "low calories" instead of using "low-calory" Is that an edit I should or could make or am I too biased to suggest edits to this page? Newforgood (talk) 18:40, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Apologies - I have now noticed that advice is to not edit, but can make suggestions via talk. Thank you! Newforgood (talk) 18:49, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Btw, if you're in a position to take a pic like this , or perhaps a pic of hop water production, it would fit the article well. You can upload pics you have taken yourself with your own camera here: Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:21, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for that. I have uploaded 2 photos which I took with my iphone.

ZM

As far as I can tell, there is no source that even mentions her marriage except in the context of the trainwreck of her divorce. I thought we had decided that there's simply no reliable coverage of her "personal life" and that we should just not mention anything about it until (the unlikely event that) some serious journalist takes a serious interest in it and she goes on the record. Like I say, I really don't want to get involved in a big controversy again. To me this seems like a simple "err on the side of caution" situation. Why include a source with such an explosive headline? Thomas B (talk) 21:03, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

IMO, this source is BLP-good for the statement, an ordinary newspaper. The accused/cleared by judge bit cancels itself out as I see it, but the rest is ordinary personal life stuff. The headline doesn't matter. Also, it adds some WP:N. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:11, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

How would you feel about discussing it at BLPN, separate from Jaydogg's proposal? I feel like there is a principle here: if the only way we know she was married and has a son is through an obviously sensational (and probably distorted) account of her divorce and custody battle, then we should simply not say anything about her family life. The "personal life" section is in constant danger of becoming a WP:COATRACK for WP:GOSSIP. Thomas B (talk) 06:38, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

I don't mind, but thanks for asking! Can be seen as a NPOVN issue, but whichever you prefer. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:51, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

That People story is a great find! Can't we just leave it with that as our source and delete the Mercury piece? (I think the "update" date of the piece is misleading, however. It must have been first published in 2015-16, when she was 41.) Thomas B (talk) 10:15, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Good point on date, didn't notice that. What is a Wikipedian to do? I checked archive.org, but found no older versions.

As a matter of WP-principle, I consider The Mercury News to be the better source, and it's the one with 2016 in it. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:47, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I understand that the MN article feels like better journalism. I think it is tainted by the acrimony, however, from BLP perspective. I don't think WP should be an archive of the worst things that have happened to people. I could be wrong about this as an interpretation of WP policy. I'll think about it a little more and then maybe ask the question at BLPN. Thomas B (talk) 11:04, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for swapping sculpture -> sculptor. I didn't realise this was the name of the course, rather than a description of Harrington.

Question from Suchismita Pattannaik (07:03, 24 August 2024)

Hi Raydann,

Can you help me add and publish an educational institute page? --Suchismita Pattannaik (talk) 07:03, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

@Suchismita Pattannaik Welcome to Misplaced Pages. I don't know. Making an acceptable WP-article without having done any WP-editing is hard. WP:TUTORIAL is an intro on how to edit.

But your first hurdle is "can an acceptable WP-article about this educational institute be written at all?" Take the time to read WP:NORG. If you conclude, "Yeah, I have those sources, no problem!" Move on to WP:Your first article. WP:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing may be of interest, and you can try asking for input at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Schools.

@Thewikiacwizard Hello! Assuming this is about one of the drafts noted at User talk:Thewikiacwizard, I can only guess since they're deleted and I have no idea on the content. Perhaps WP:NORG and WP:PROMO will have something helpful. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:15, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

hello and thank you for your reply. It was deleted so i wrote another article that complies better with the regulations however not it is being reviewed but it is saying that there is a problem with the citations. Are you able to see the pending approval of my article or help me concerning this topic. thanks1 Thewikiacwizard (talk) 11:19, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

@Thewikiacwizard I can see Draft:Community-Driven Coins in Cryptocurrency, at least for now. It largely lacks inline citations, is full of WP:PUFFERY and afaik crypto-websites like WP:COINDESK are in general not WP:RS. WP is for example not interested in what BlackAura has to say about itself, it's interested in what CNN and WSJ has said about it. This is not a subject that interests me, but you can try to ask for input at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Cryptocurrency. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:38, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Request for guidance

Hello, my name is Esther. You created my Misplaced Pages page in 2022. I'm reaching out because I'd like to focus on creating pages and or uploading images of Caribbean persons of note. Would you be interested in providing guidance on how to do so, or supporting by starting the pages? I'm in the beginning stages of the project, but I'd like to start laying the groundwork.

Thanks in advance for your consideration and I look forward to your response. Esther EstherGriffith (talk) 20:25, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@EstherGriffith Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Did I..? Ah yes, the Wiki Unseen artist, Esther Griffith.

Creating an acceptable WP-article without any experience in WP-editing is hard. It is recommended that you stick around awhile and edit existing articles to try to get a hang of this place. WP:TUTORIAL can help you with that, and learning how to add references correctly is essential, I can't stress this enough. Really. No good sources (WP:RS), no article content. This is even more important if you intend to write about living people, see WP:BLP. A WP-article about a person is supposed to be a summary of WP:RS independent of that person, WP:ABOUTSELF sources have a very limited use here.

If you have a subject in mind, read WP:BACKWARD. If you conclude "Yeah, I have those sources, no problem!", move on to WP:YFA. If the sources don't exist, you can't make a WP-article on that subject, so pick another subject. More at WP:N, the "rule" for "Can I make a WP-article about whatever-it-is?"

On pictures, WP and Commons, where we keep the "free" pictures, are both very strict on copyright. You can upload pictures you have taken yourself with your own camera, and so can other people, but there is a lot of devil in the details. The basic assumption is that any random pic you find online is under copyright and can't be used here (again, devil in the details). More details at Commons:Licensing and WP:A picture of you.

Hope this helps some. It may interest you that Wikipedians had some discussion about one of your pictures in 2022. When Wikipedians disagree, we must talk:

Regarding AFC Crewe Deletion

I'm not involved in the club t any more extent than i am involved in local football in my area of the country. I understood the club the club to meet notability guideline having played in the FA Cup yesterday meeting the criteria: Country-specific criteria:

England: Clubs that play or have played at step 6 of the National League System (level 10 of the English football league system), or in the FA Cup, FA Trophy, FA Amateur Cup or FA Vase generally meet WP:GNG criteria.

How much more does the club need to do to be considered notable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iblethebible (talk • contribs) 09:49, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

@Iblethebible New discussions goes on the bottom of a talkpage, so I moved this one. You need the sources that makes the Wikipedians who look at them think "Good enough for WP:N/WP:NORG." I suggest that if you want more input on this, you try Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Football, and if you want to try again, submit a draft for review per WP:AFCREVIEW.

If you want, you can ask if the closer of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/AFC Crewe (2nd nomination) (Liz) is willing to restore the deleted article to your draftspace, and you can keep working on it there. Hope this helps some. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:19, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for moving it. I have messaged the closer, i thought i should also mention it to you as you seemed very keen to have the article deleted even though it met the notability guideline I mentioned above. Iblethebible (talk) 10:22, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Well, I started the afd, so if that counts as "keen", sure. Other editors disagreed with you that it met GNG. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:27, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

It met the main GNG yesteday when the club played in the FA Cup though? Iblethebible (talk) 10:30, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Where at WP:GNG does it say "FA Cup"? It's not about what an org does, it's about what independent WP:RS write about they do. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:34, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:NFOOTY

Country-specific criteria:

England: Clubs that play or have played at step 6 of the National League System (level 10 of the English football league system), or in the FA Cup, FA Trophy, FA Amateur Cup or FA Vase generally meet WP:GNG criteria.

And this https://www.thefa.com/competitions/the-womens-fa-cup/results is not Misplaced Pages:RS in spite of it seemingly being so on many other articles? Iblethebible (talk) 10:41, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

"Generally", so that means that if a club has been in the FA cup, you can probably find the sources demanded at WP:GNG. If you can't, you can't. Also read the "This is an essay on notability. It contains..." box at the top of that page. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:47, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

I don't know why i bother donating to wikipedia. I spent lot's of time making that article. Meticulously finding, adding and editing sections, sources and links as well as citing multiple reputable sources.

An articloe cannot be made because of one reference to a famous perosn so the Ronaldo pages were added as a single sentence. The club must have played in the FA cup evidenced last night just before deletion today. Clubs in its league must also have articled aswell as the league itself having articles, this is the case. Multiple in depth articles referencing the club. All of this has been completed and referenced.

What more must be done before you specifically consider it notable or should i just give up? Iblethebible (talk) 10:56, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

You need the sources that makes the Wikipedians who look at them think "Good enough for WP:N/WP:NORG." I don't think we'll get any further at this point. But things change: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Meghan Markle. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:03, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Okay so the implication is they will be notable when they are at the highest possible level of fame and notoriety?

Over 8000 articles on wikipedia and AFC crewe is likened to a pre royal Meghan Markle Iblethebible (talk) 11:09, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Btw, if you think Liz got the close wrong, you can try Misplaced Pages:Deletion review. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:53, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

I have messaged her, you nominated the article i felt it necessary to address you as well with my concerns. It seems admins have a vendetta against the club which has many sources and is more notable than other clubs which have articles. Iblethebible (talk) 11:00, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

help to have a better wiki page

Hello here @Gråbergs Gråa Sång, Thank you in first for the amazing work you do. can you please helpp the community to fix the wiki page of the Italian supermodel Fabio Mancini? I actually don't know how it works and I'm sure you'll work on it better with rules. because someone vandalise always the page with errors.

here the page: Fabio Mancini

thank you a lot, you did a great job for the community 151.72.221.34 (talk) 09:09, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

For any WP-article about a person, you are supposed to summarize (and cite) independent WP:RS about that person. WP:ABOUTSELF sources are not of much use. Afaict, there's not a lot to improve the article with, but I haven't looked that hard. If you have suggestions of good sources to use, you can comment at Talk:Fabio Mancini. WP:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing may be of interest to you. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:22, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

WP:NPP

I assume you've already been pestered to join NPP, probably several times, so I won't drop the whole spiel on you. Take this instead as one more nudge. -- asilvering (talk) 16:34, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Nudge acknowledged! Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:43, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
