Hi! @Utopes, after your review of Draft:Neshe I slightly changed the tone of the article in order to make it more neutral as requested. If you see any other word that should be changed, please let me know, as to me everything all looks pretty neutral today. --GlobalMusicFan (talk) 15:25, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote "Nearly two-thirds of the articles in the references section seem to be written by Janczuk himself, and should not be used as references". That is not true. Only one reference was written by me (number 7 - service in army, not important). You did not verifie carefully. "There is a section labeled "popular articles by Janczuk", says who?" Sorry, it means "Non-Scholarly Articles", nothing more. "Artykuły naukowe" - Scholarly articles, "Artykuły popularne" - Non-Scholarly Articles. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 23:27, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At the time I reviewed the draft, references 7, 18, 25 through 52 were all listed with you as the author. Self-published sources should not be added into the References tab. Non-scholarly is a better term than popular, so this is a good change. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 14:33, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Editor,

I kindly request clarification, as I do not see any mistake on my part. You, and another Editor, stated that the submission was not supported by reliable sources.

For most entries, it is indeed essential for sources to be truly independent to establish credibility. However, the case of a scientific journal is different—it serves as a reliable source of information itself. The double-blind peer review process, an independent Scientific Council, and external Editors guarantee the quality of its content. Furthermore, independent and reputable databases such as Scopus and Web of Science uphold high standards. The inclusion of a scientific journal in these databases already indicates its recognition within the academic community.

The classification of a journal and its assignment to the first quartile (Q1) reflects the interest of researchers in its articles, as demonstrated by their citations in numerous other international scientific journals.

In summary, I would like to emphasize that the high ranking confirmed by Poland’s Ministry of Science, the aforementioned international databases, and, most importantly, the citation metrics and resulting international indicators all attest to the high quality and impact of the "Bulletin of Geography. Socio-economic Series" on the development of socio-economic sciences.

I have modified the sources. The sources I have provided are undoubtedly reliable, secondary, and independent of the subject.

If the above information is insufficient, I kindly request guidance on what additional sources or details should be provided to meet Wikipedia's notability criteria.

Sincerely,

WJ Włodzimierz Juśkiewicz (talk) 00:27, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:1968 disasters in Austria indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. ✗plicit 23:29, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

January 2025 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points. Streak awards will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive. Barnstars will also be granted for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in taking part? Sign up here.

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email).

Hello @Utopes

Saw you were recently active in afc, and 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 in review, 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) 21:17, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yachtahead: Thanks for letting me know! It's a mixed bag, but generally reviewers don't look at drafts per request, as its all volunteer. I looked briefly at this draft and I think it looks well-written honestly! I just haven't been able to verify whether the subject is notable, but if you've made a case for it in the draft then good work!

At the moment, the max-length of a draft in the queue is ~2 months, so I'm sure it'll receive a review sometime soon. In terms of other options, there's always the WP:TEAHOUSE which is for general advice and help on Wikipedia. From an AfC point of view, there's the WP:AFC/HELP desk as well, which should get a response from any available reviewer. I might have time to check whether this subject meets the notability guidelines later, but the best bet is asking at the AfC help desk or the teahouse for people who are on a roll with giving advice and assistance! Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 20:16, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much, @Utopes for the helpful response and complement about the page. As for notability, it should meet the standard with 10+ known, reliable, independent sources. Was there anything else I have to do to demonstrate its notability, or the draft itself with the references is the measure? Thanks again. Yachtahead (talk) 20:36, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It seems as if the page for Cardinale was deleted in 2022 due to "not being notable". Now, I'm not an admin so I'm not sure about the state of the article as it would then, hence I'm hesitant in approving now. However, it seems as if there IS new information as of 2023 and 2024, and my external searches have demonstrated a lot more significant coverage within the last couple years. I don't really deal with biographies very often, but I think there's a good shot at approval here.

Sources that are interviews of the subject, however, aren't able to demonstrate notability as interviews are not independent sources. I'm seeing a good lot of interviews in the references, but there's a lot of new coverage, so maybe there's some which aren't interviews. Yachtahead, what would you say are the three best sources in the article that aren't interviews? Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 21:15, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Utopes. You're right, these past two years since 2022 has been far busier than ever: he's bought the AC Milan soccer club, produced the film Top Gun Maverick, and been involved in other significant deals in that time. "Interview" I know is a nuanced term, from the link you shared (thank you). The other links also include a lot of independent, secondary information about him from the journalists, like the 60 minutes example - he is quoted, "But if the material the interviewer brought to the table is secondary and independent, it contributes to the claim that the subject has met the requirements laid out in the general notability guideline." So even though I think the other links still are useful, I hope you'd count these as not interviews, even though he has a quote in each, he is not the subject of the sourcing. Would you agree? Thanks again:

I generally don't deal with drafts on request. But the sourcing seems to be solid here and I consider it to be very different from whatever the situation in 2022.

Hello, I just started correcting some grammatical mistakes. But a fellow sent me a message that we removed your edits. Can you explain it to me, please? --LoreHaven (talk) 20:03, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LoreHaven: Hello, thank you for fixing grammatical mistakes! It looks like someone undid your edit though. Looking at the change you made, it seems the text previously said "set-pieces, especially", while your edit changed it to say "set- ieces,i especially". This link shows the entire edit: [1].

Thank you for the quick helpful feedback on our draft page. I'm trying to understand referencing properly. Are these references acceptable ?

"432 MHz Moonbounce from VK1 in December 95".

It is a report on an event by a person who was a "visitor" to the event who participated but did not design or make preparations for the event. Does that mean it's primary ? It is the only report on the event that is published and accessible online. Does that mean the event is not notable ?

Australian and New Zealand Physicist - Vol 31 No 03 - March 1994, https://drive.google.com/file/d/13oFOhoKbGi5JUWnj0fhZvIlY5mUoKKN9/ [pdf; page 31, article titled "Earth Satellite Facilities at the University of Canberra"]

This is also the only report on an event that is published and accessible online. Does that mean the event is not notable ? It was published by an organisation that was independent of the parties to the event. Does that mean it is a secondary source ? Endured (talk) 01:00, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: Sorry, I'm happy to use Teahouse and Afc Help Desk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Endured (talk • contribs) 02:20, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Endured:; just trying to understand the situation here. The first reference linked does not talk about upcyc at all. This reference does not seem to support the statement that "the UpCyc was the transmitter for a moon bounce project". I checked page 31 of the second source, and I'm not seeing anything about an "UpCyc" project either.

Currently the draft says: "The facility consists of a 10 metre parabolic dish with counterweights mounted on a base extension pedestal. There is an adjacent hut for supporting equipment. It is located in a fenced compound." Is there a source that can corroborate this? It is uncited in the draft as it stands. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 18:23, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for the extra feedback. Yes, "UpCyc" is obscure in the current text. For reference, "UpCyc" is a new name assigned by the Project Team in 2024. There are no publicly accessible sources which say "UpCyc" (except Google Maps). The facility has been in place since 1993 but, rarely mentioned after 1997. After 1997, it was one line in University annual reports until 2005. We will probably try to design our Wikipedia page along the same lines as these: Mount Pleasant Radio Observatory. Cheers.

Hello! Thanks for the feedback on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jonathan_Frantz

I’ve worked to ensure it's well-sourced and neutral.

I went over each and every word to try to apply a more encyclopedic and neutral tone. From words like "pioneer" to "notable" to "key researcher," (and more) I have removed any and all language that could even remotely appear promotional.

Other than that, the article is sourced with medical journals, as well as local and national news coverage.

If there is anything I missed, could you point out specific areas where the tone seems promotional so I can address them? Or if this is satisfactory, would you remove the rejection?

Thank you in advance! I hope these revisions simplify the tone, remove promotional language, and maintain a neutral and factual approach while preserving the key information. Editora89119 (talk) 15:29, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point me to where Category:Television series by Nickelodeon Animation Studio was requested? It's a pet category for an LTA sockmaster.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:42, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Was just requested at WP:AFC/C. Apologies for not noticing if there was an LTA involved; other similar categories have existed which might be worth looking into depending on the situation.

(edit conflict) Glad you found it! Reopened this because you might want to take a look at Category:Television series by Calon (TV production company) which was also recently requested, in the AFC/C January 2025 archives if you're inclined to poking around there for similar behavior. A few of these category requests have come through from IPs, I've generally been approving them though. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 23:49, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cartoon and Nickelodeon redirect and category requests from Chilean IPs are nearly 100% guaranteed to be this LTA. You can usually see that category has been deleted previously and they've figured out a work around at being detected is to get the good folks at WP:AFC/C and WP:AFC/R to unknowingly proxy for them.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:59, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, that's good to know. In this case I did not check the deletion logs, I just saw a lot of similarly-constructed category titles and the request made sense and seemed in good faith. The IP who requested the Calon one probably fits the bill as well, which I see now it's been taken care of. Thank you for your diligence! Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 00:02, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:2803:C600:8101:80DD:602A:347A:9823:5DE3 (the requestor of the Calon category) has a lot of warnings already from their brief editing history, so if you need to file that one away for an SPI hopefully that helps a bit. (Looks dormant now though so maybe not...) Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 00:04, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. They return to that /64 every now and then, so I've blocked it for 3 months. It woud be easier if I could just let you know which sockmaster it is, but privacy policy and all that...-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 00:11, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All good, I'll keep an eye out over at AFC/C and R moving forward. Thanks for the catch, o7 Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 00:14, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Btw @Ponyo: they're back in WP:AFC/C, if you wanted to take a gander at the most recent requests. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:32, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Utopes. Is there a centralized noticeboard for AFC/R and AFC/R where a mention can be made along the lines of "please don't create categories or redirects on behalf of Chilean IPs as it's an LTA globally-blocked sockmaster circumventing their ban"?-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:37, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seems fairly specific haha, not quite sure. The best idea I can think to meet the description is WT:WPAFC, as AFC/R and AFC/C are sub-processes of WPAFC. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 20:32, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your evaluation of the draft article for VC-7. I note that the submissions of the VC-7 draft has been declined. The reason given is that VC-7 is already mentioned in an article about RVAH. In the extensive work I have done researching VC-7, I do believe that VC-7 should have its own article since when the designation of the squadron changed to RVAH, the mission of the squadron also changed. VC-7's mission was to deliver nuclear weapons. This seems to make it very different from RVAH's mission which was photo reconnaissance. In addition, VC-7, like the other heavy attack squadrons were vital to securing the role of the Navy in the post World War II world. Thus, I would like to suggest that VC-7 have a stand alone article. If a stand alone article is not possible, I would like to understand how to incorporate it into the RVAH article. Thank you for your consideration and any suggestions you can give me. Schbrown (talk) 20:27, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What I would recommend doing in this situation is to initiate a split-proposal (from WP:SPLIT) rather than creating an article on a topic that already has a section on RVAH-7. If you'd like, I can go ahead and post what you've said here, on the talk page for Talk:RVAH-7, in order to get some input from people who follow the subject and who might be a bit more knowledgeable than I on the situation? You've brought up a fair point that could be worth a discussion. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 20:32, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, split-proposals can take a long time to resolve, and you've done a lot of work on this in the meantime. What I'll do instead is I can promote the article to mainspace, and if someone disagrees, it can be redirected into RVAH-7. So far what you've said is uncontested, and it is a well-referenced draft, so I'm fine with moving it to mainspace for now. If somebody else redirects it, a discussion can take place about whether two articles are needed here. Thank you for your efforts in putting this together!

@Muhammed Ali Rahbari: It doesn't look like you have a userpage yet. I can go ahead and create a page for you, and then you can go ahead and edit it if you'd like? I'll do that right now. By the way, "Utopes" is the nickname that I edit under. I'll send you a notification once the page is created! Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:09, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou so much.

I have my article ready Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:10, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Muhammed Ali Rahbari: Alright; I've gone ahead and created a user page for you, as well as a user talk page. There are some helpful links on your talk page if you ever need to reference anything, such as for navigating and editing Wikipedia.

With all of that being said, if you want to create an article, the easiest way to do so is via the Wikipedia Article Wizard. If you click this link, it will take you to the creation wizard, where you can write your article. You have the choice of doing it in a personal sandbox (which would be in your "user space" to be edited by you), or you can create a draft, which would put it in "draft space". Either option is okay, depending on how far you are in the writing process!

Let me know if you have any further questions. If you would like me to create a draft location, I can do that for you as well. Good luck, and happy editing! Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:15, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

oh my God, too much to take in so quickly. Thank-you. I read it slowly.

I have mycm article ready and copied it ready for pasting it.

So I will go to your first suggestion the wizard.

It myst ne on my hone page so i go thete and have a look.. Thank-you Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:18, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My article is called honesty and truth --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:11, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am confused about one thing. All I see refrances is for editing and not publishing. I dont want to edit. I like your publish : ) --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:14, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Muhammed Ali Rahbari: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit. When you publish something into the encyclopedia, we call that an "edit". Because of that, "publishing an edit" and "editing" are more or less the same thing here. Did that answer your inquiry?

In the meantime, perhaps putting your article into a sandbox would be a good start? From there we can talk about moving it into the encyclopedia, and making sure it is acceptable within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:20, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I like the way you are interacting with me. I have never experienced thus. Thank-you.

I am going to click wizard and see if i can publish my article. Okay i go thete now.. thabktou Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:22, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There you go! Now you have a draft article published! Let me know if you have any further questions. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:28, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

BoldOh i didnt see this jessage tull now.

Thankyou.

Wow thank-you.

What us the title?

So i can search it. Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:24, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am having trouble with the draft name. Whatever I put it won't except it. Can youvtell me what to put there pjeasr --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:35, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like you've created a draft article at Draft:Aggression & lust. What did you want it to be instead? Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:37, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I also can't get back to my article. It's not in my page. It says no article to edit.

I an using my mobile. I have no computer at the moment also. So it has to be done on mobile --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:37, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article is at Draft:Aggression & lust. Are you editing the correct page? What page do you want to edit? Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:39, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I found the page...niw it's draft title name I am having trouble with. What ever I put it won't except it --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:40, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What would you like the draft title name to be? Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:40, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I put philosophy on the draft name and it says start with edit or user. I don't know what that is Then it also says bmno such bane or draft. So I am stuck --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:44, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, the name of your draft article is "Aggression & lust". Just to make sure I'm understanding you right, you put "Philosophy" as the draft name instead? You can change the name of the draft by moving the page to a new title. I can move the page, if you would like. What would you like the new name of the draft to be? Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:47, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This what it says

1- Please enter the draft page name

2- Please check draft title – it should begin with "Draft:" or "User:"

3- it d --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:46, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure where you are seeing that. The first part of the title is the "namespace" it is in. Draft articles are in the draft "namespace". User sandboxes are in the "user namespace". Your draft is in the draft namespace, and can currently be found at Draft:Aggression & lust. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:49, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It won't except the one tag I put which is philosophy --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:48, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are you referring to "WikiProjects"? I can add your draft to the Philosophy WikiProject, if that's what you are referring to. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:50, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So I can't submit it for review . I don't know how to solve these two problems --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:49, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just need to out the titke and the tag. But it won't except it --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:50, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What ever I put it says,

Please check draft title. No such draft exists. --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 07:51, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What is the name of the draft title you are trying to submit? Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:52, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh well, I am stuck at draft title --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:10, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What do you want the title to be? Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:12, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The name of your draft is "Draft:Aggression & lust". That should be the draft title, unless you would like it to be something else. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:13, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh i missed your message, yes please can you do that to Philosophy WikiProject . It looks like its the easiest option. Please let me know if you did it. And hiw I can actually Google and see it on wilkipidia. Thank-you --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:13, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the draft to WikiProject Philosophy. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:15, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Utopes --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:14, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome. Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:15, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am so sorry i mussed done of your replies.

I don't mind what it us called. It's about aggression and lust, also about truth and honesty, it's about reality and so on. But it's about nature and society and hie aggression and lust and the lack of control of these two emotions is killing us

So aggression and kust would be a better title.

I did put that as title but it didn't except it.

Can you help to publish it where ever you think is good. Thankfully my mentor --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:17, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The name of your draft is "Draft:Aggression & lust"; if that's exactly what is listed on the draft title, you should be good to go! Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:25, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wait, I think I figured it out. The Wikipedia software does not like the ampersand in the title. I can move it to "Aggression and lust" instead; that should make it a bit better and should work out for you. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:28, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We could put Nature versus Society as well I supoose. Or how the lack of control of aggression and lust is wiping out Nature --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:21, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You must be getting tired of me now. I am so sorry. --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:22, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! That's what I'm here for :)

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help! I might need to leave soon, but you can always ask for assistance at the Wikipedia:Teahouse. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:27, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have now realised what's happened. I didn't get any notification that you replied to me. So I was oblivious to your replies I now went to my email and so them all.

I am so sorry. I am not good at this kind of stuff on the internet and I am old person too.

Okay so as far as I can gather you have published it and gave it a name. Could you possibly tell me what it's called and where to find it so I can show my friends too. Thank you. Kind regards Ali --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:29, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the draft to a new title, at Draft:Aggression and lust. Hopefully this makes the page viewable for you. Let me know if this worked. Thanks! Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:31, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have made your morning so hard. I am so sorry.

Thank tou so much for yout time.

I put aggression and lust on the search in Wikipedia but it doesnt come up.

Also it's not visible in my profile page as it says 0 edit.

So I suppose I have to wait till its approved? Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:41, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! You can get there by typing Draft:Aggression and lust. Note that you will need to preface the search term with "draft:", as that is where the page is currently located.

You can edit your user page to link to the draft, if you would like. I can add a link for you! You will be able to see it at: User:Muhammed Ali Rahbari Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:46, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. Thanks for your patience.

To be honest I can't get me head around technology and things

I know I can't do this. It's too g?hard to understand.

Is there a way you can publish it fir je?

t Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:49, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Muhammed Ali Rahbari: I will not be able to publish it for you, as it is not currently ready for review. You can try clicking the blue button that says "submit the article for review", but please be aware: as you have not cited any sources, it is not likely to be accepted at this time. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:51, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it says, Draft article not currently submitted for review.

How can i submit it for review please? Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:44, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can submit it for review by clicking on the blue button on the draft page. From there, just ensure that the draft title is correct, and that you follow all of the guidelines that are given.

I can tell you for starters that it is not likely to pass in its current form, as you have not cited any sources. Wikipedia articles require sources to be cited, to ensure that the material is verifiable and reliable! Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:48, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I put the tirke aggression and lust but it doesn't except it.

Tmsources ate only 2. And it's only a small reference.

The rest us all my findings.

.I will try to put the sources but the title is not excepted.

So okay. I sort out the Forces but the title itcwont vexceot Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:52, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The title is exactly: "Draft:Aggression and lust". If you don't include the "draft:" part, it won't work. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:55, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry i get your nessage after i oress reply.

Okay ill do that now Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:56, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Its been rejected and it cant be readmitted.

Well i was going to add sources.

So why didn't they wait and also why can't I resubmitted it with sources? Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 09:16, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can also ask the person who rejected the draft. You can also ask for assistance at the help desk. Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk/New question will take you there. I don't have much more time at the moment and won't be able to quickly respond for a while. The WP:TEAHOUSE is also always open for questions. Hopefully you are able to get some assistance. Best, Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 09:29, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are such an amayzing person.

We need more people like you.

Akso where do i put the sources?

I can't see where? Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:55, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The title is exactly:

Draft:Aggression and lust Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:57, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This us what I put. But it won't except it

Draft: Aggression and Lust --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:57, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lust is currently lowercase in the title. Also, there should be no space before the word "aggression". Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:59, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I copied and oasted what you tyoed. And it worked..okay i work on the sources.

I think you need to go on holiday and recover from me.

I qm 66 and almostvloosing my mimd so thanktiu fir your care and patience fir humanity.

Ps: can i get back to you when i have all my sources ready? Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 09:04, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it'd done --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:59, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nice! I now see it has been successfully submitted. All that's left is for a volunteer to review the draft.

Currently the draft is missing sources, so it is unlikely to pass at this time. All information in a Wikipedia article should be attributable to a reliable source. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original research, so any questionable statement will need a reference. Statements that cannot be referenced are likely to be removed. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 09:06, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Now I'll get all the sorces ready.

But when it's ready will you help me to know where to click to add it please 🙏 --Muhammed Ali Rahbari (talk) 08:59, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The page for WP:REFB is designed for helping people cite their first references. Feel free to also ask for help at the WP:TEAHOUSE, as well as the reviewer who reads your draft. Hope this was able to help! Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 09:07, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

May be i should put it on google.

Hey, @Utopes! I'm reaching out because I want to be fully transparent — I am employed by and write for a financial influencer. She has a significant online footprint (articles, interviews, TV appearances, etc/lots of things to cite back to) and it's reasonable for her to have a page...but I know this presents a conflict of interest as I am getting paid to write it and publish it on Wikipedia. I've drafted what I think is a fair and neutral page for her, but I recognize I have my own biases and it will need other editors' eyes on it. What should my next steps be?
