Balkans Continued Fraction

[edit]

Many thanks for your comment on the page I created. A secondary source that cites and reports about the conjecture is for instance the scholarly article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2321440121 According to Wikipedia "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (often abbreviated PNAS or PNAS USA) is a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary scientific journal. It is the official journal of the National Academy of Sciences, published since 1915, and publishes original research, scientific reviews, commentaries, and letters. According to Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 9.4. PNAS is the second most cited scientific journal, with more than 1.9 million cumulative citations from 2008 to 2018. " Wisdomagic (talk) 14:37, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then please add it to the draft which curently displays a single primary source. Theroadislong (talk) 15:24, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello and a happy new year! I wonder if anything else is required (I am not super familiar with Wiki procedures) Cheers Widsomagic Wisdomagic (talk) 16:33, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Your draft Draft:The Balkans Continued Fraction is awaiting a review but as it has only two primary sources as references it is unlikely to be accepted. Theroadislong (talk) 16:38, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Thanks for your review and feedback.

Could you help me understand if any of the references meet all the criteria? For example, The Park Record is a long established newspaper with significant coverage of Oston.Resing (talk) 23:55, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Park Record is good, spotify.com, IMDb and interviews are NOT reliable sources, Oston needs to pass the criteria at WP:NSINGER. Theroadislong (talk) 08:37, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I believe the two articles from The Park Record meet criteria 1.
"Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself" Resing (talk) 14:21, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Great_Yarmouth_Arts_Festival

[edit]

"just blatant advertising totally inappropriate." - I live in the town, and am not linked to the company so I am hardly advertising, what else is wrong with my article. I have added cites as needed. GreatYarmouthAnonymous (talk) 21:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Whether you are an artist looking to showcase your work, a local resident eager to participate, or a visitor seeking an enriching cultural experience, the Great Yarmouth Arts Festival promises a memorable and inspiring event" is clearly just advertising whoever you are.

[edit]


Dear Reviewer, I am new in Wiki.Just submit my first article and it was not accepted. I think I forgot to add the topic of the article. Would like to know how could I add it back. Thanks a lot, Ken


Wikieditorken (talk) 12:42, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved it to here Draft:ChoyChoy. You need to explain what Choychoy is. Theroadislong (talk) 13:40, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for review please, submission waiting two months

[edit]

Hello @Theroadislong

See you're very active here in afc, which is much appreciated. I hoped you might be able to please assist in review and/or approval for my first draft submission: Draft:Gerry Cardinale It's been two months waiting, I don't think it's being seen by any reviewers. Appreciate your help or any direction to another option. Thank you very much! Yachtahead (talk) 21:21, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

There are no independent, reliable sources here and that is what we base articles on : Ok, but I have a ISNI number and another wikipedia page in french ? Isn't that enough ? Please help me to know what sources might be more reliable than another wikipedia page or ISNI number please ? Raoni86 (talk) 11:52, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia cannot be used as a source it is user edited so not reliable, having an ISNI number is irrelevant. See WP:RS. Theroadislong (talk) 11:55, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What others sources as movies, tv, records, books can i provide ? Only thing i see is God himself ?!! Raoni86 (talk) 13:30, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
God is not a reliable source. Sources need to be published and independent with significant coverage of the topic, you have dived into Wikipedia and immediately attempted the most difficult task here, namely writing an article about someone you are related to. Theroadislong (talk) 13:37, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mildred_Peel this article you started tell me how it's source are more valid that the one i provided, if I pay a journalist to write "the most iconic belgian artist" will it be accepted lol ? Raoni86 (talk) 13:41, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Be very careful, about suggesting that you pay for an article, you are 100% likely to be targeted by scammer. If you think the article I wrote on Mildred Peel is not notable you are free to send it to WP:AFD. Theroadislong (talk) 13:51, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Thank you for keeping things cool in the recent situation. qcne (talk) 20:38, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

francisco de pajaro aka art is trash

[edit]

so far there is only one article in wikipedia. would be great to see one in english too. what can i do? https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_de_P%C3%A1jaro thanks for help ren Ren Zec (talk) 20:43, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is irreleavnt that they have an article on the French Wikipedia, they are two entirely separate projects with different notability requirements. Just find more reliable independent sources. Theroadislong (talk) 21:24, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:John James (businessman and philanthropist)

[edit]

Hi, following your suggestions I've made some major edits to this article. Have I done enough now, or is there more I should look at? Thanks for your help Jjarchivist (talk) 11:15, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Venhue

[edit]

Hi it seems this is reading as an advertisement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Venhue I am quoting the sources provided (The Today Show, NBC, Business Insider, etc.) is there something specific that should be removed as it's considered promotional? Thanks for your help! Nycrest (talk) 21:40, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"The dining experience features a six-course tasting menu with beverage pairings, theatrical presentations and unconventional plating. Artificial intelligence is used to enhance both menu preparation, wine pairings and the restaurants aesthetics" sounds VERY much like advertising to me? Theroadislong (talk) 21:57, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is all demonstrated and talked about on the videos and the Business Insider article and it seems S0091 reopened it and i submitted and then they had to deny/reopen because of my Talk page wasn't updated. I reworded it based on feedback from chatgpt and my friend! Nycrest (talk) 22:27, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Nycrest oh, don't use chatgpt. For one chatgpt (or any WP:LLM, read that) does not know what the sources say and a Wikipedia article should summarize, in a neutral manner, the sources. In addition, it tends to use promotional language and above all, it should be your words. In short, chatgpt/LLM is horrible for use here. S0091 (talk) 22:36, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah ok! Sorry. I didn't copy direct I just asked which words are better used as English is my second language and I don't mean to come off a Promotional, just tried using the sentences used in the sources Nycrest (talk) 22:38, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Nycrest if English is your second language, you might be better off writing in your first/most comfortable language then using a translation tool as a first step (they can be wrong too, which you probably already know), then only using chatgpt for a tweak or so. S0091 (talk) 22:46, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Will do thank you so much Nycrest (talk) 17:02, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think we may be trying to push water up hill

[edit]

It's possible, of course, as blocks of ice. The Schools editor has embarked on the usual task to too much too soon with too little learning. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 23:02, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The recent additions to their user page gives a clue to the problem perhaps? Theroadislong (talk) 07:43, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
True. It's an area I understand, though if you have met one perosn the next one id totally different. The way to approach this is with rules, not anything else. You will see that I have tried on their talk page. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 08:48, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the user that submits this page to AfC understands they can't keep removing the AfC decline banners. I let them know once in the Help Desk area of AfC and now they've done it again. I added the notice back. Could you please assist me in letting them know they must stop removing the declines on the draft? Ktkvtsh (talk) 21:45, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Theroadislong (talk) 21:49, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Could you have a look at this. You moved it from a users user space to draft and they subsequently have moved it into live space. It looks largely a good article, but there are a small volume of links, rather than citations. Would you return it to draft space, or tag and leave. Blethering Scot 18:35, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks as if it would comfortably survive an WP:AFD so best to just tag any problems. Theroadislong (talk) 18:45, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious

[edit]

Do you work for Wikipedia? Also you misspelled encyclopedia.

" Comment: There are zero useable sources here and content like "musician who has shaped multiple corners of the music industry" is laughably inappropriate for an encyclopaedia. Theroadislong (talk) 08:08, 5 December 2024 (UTC)" Almonday (talk) 03:17, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Almonday: none of us "work for" Wikipedia, if you mean that in the employment sense; we're all volunteers. (Actually, that's not strictly true, there are some users who are employed by Wikimedia Foundation, but they are very few and far between, and are indicated by their user names.)
And just FYI, "encyclopaedia" is a perfectly valid spelling in British (and maybe Australian?) English. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:35, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Almonday I had to look up the insult [1] ... "“jerk,” an American colloquialism, back to 1935, reports: “Originally: an inept or pathetic person; a fool. Now: an objectionable or obnoxious person." Please see Wikipedia:No personal attacks it can lead to a block. Theroadislong (talk)

AITA???

[edit]

Hey T, can you do me a favor and take a look at the second section on my talk page and the related links and help me just "gut check" if AITA applies here? Feel free to respond here and/or privately email me. Thanks! TiggerJay(talk) 21:16, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly you are NTA (not the asshole). Theroadislong (talk) 21:32, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Just worth checking, sometimes a tenacious bludgeoner can make one question their own sanity, and its good to have a third opinion once in a while. TiggerJay(talk) 22:12, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I would like the afc comment you left on my draft deleted.

[edit]

Hello I would like the AFC comment you left  in my sandbox while I was editing  my draft deleted. Edward Myer (talk) 22:26, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK... but it looks like somebody beat me to it. Theroadislong (talk) 22:49, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes they deleted the whole draft. Edward Myer (talk) 14:10, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That’s correct because it duplcated an existing page at Draft:Bruse Wane (draftfied following Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bruse Wane) but you can still edit here Draft:Bruse Wane or here Draft:Bruse Wane (rapper). You could have deleted the routine comment yourself if you so wished though I don't understand why it was so upsetting? Theroadislong (talk) 14:17, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

article submission declined

[edit]

hello, just wondering which of these things the article on Jacek Koziel draft was missing


This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. 2600:1014:A100:DC5B:E935:97EB:C970:AF1F (talk) 01:58, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft Draft:Jacek Koziel is missing reliable independent sources, assorted profiles and IMDb are not sufficent to pass WP:GNG or WP:NACADEMIC. Theroadislong (talk) 08
26, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
[edit]

I understand that my draft's main body contains ridiculously too many external links and far too few secondary references. But I do want to have ONE section that lists my 40+ works with 3 source links for each (score, audio, video). Given your rule that external links must exist only within References, I need to understand the exceptions to that rule. I'm told that these do exist. Is there a way to designate ONE section in addition to References -- say, Works -- that CAN be populated with my Catalog's external links? (I'll work on getting rid of the other zillion.) PeterMcKenzieArmstrong (talk) 18:34, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is possible to have a section for "selected works" but it doesn't need to be comprehensive and it doesn't require sources; it doesn't help AT ALL with notability though so I wouldn't worry about it. Theroadislong (talk) 18:42, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your heads up notice. Heaven is mine (talk) 20:27, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You just reverted several items on WP:AFCHD

[edit]

I wonder if you meant to revert all of them? 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 14:47, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry about that it was supposed to remove one "non question" I'll try and sort it out. Theroadislong (talk) 14:50, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Timtrent All sorted, thanks for the heads up. Theroadislong (talk) 14:58, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
