Question from Adnan Anamul on Talk:Jude Bellingham (21:32, 16 May 2024)

I love football and consider myself a good football player. I emulate you. My dream is to see you up close, I don't think this dream will come true. I want to show you my talent. I live in Bangladesh. -- Adnan Anamul ( talk) 21:32, 16 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Greek Orthodox Church

The page was protected with an edit made only half way. The last line in the list (Exarchate under the jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church in America (itself not part of Greek Orthodoxy)) was the header of the Albanian Archdiocese within OCA. Without it, the header could be deleted. I would do it myself, but I am not an editor. THanks. Coquidragon ( talk) 00:26, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Coquidragon.. and you found yourself able to edit it now. :) I had a longer message about waiting for the protection to lapse, but you had already done it. Hopefully it does not bring about much contention while the discussion is still on ongoing! – robertsky ( talk) 17:01, 23 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Question from Jeees777 (16:43, 23 May 2024)

how do you get the motivation to edit actively for multiple years for almost nothing in return, do you have a job? -- Jeees777 ( talk) 16:43, 23 May 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Jeees777, glad that you had asked. I have a job, but both do not interfere with each other.
  1. See https://xkcd.com/386/ It sums up perfectly the primary motivation. And the environment here is conducive for discourse to happen.
  2. After awhile, you gain a community here. Or two. Or three. Or on and on and on... Over time you will develop friendships with others here, sharing the same goal of building the repository of open knowledge be it by content, technical or other types of contributions.

NPP School

Hey, Robert, I hope you are well. I recently discovered the NPP school. There is a lot of information available on that page, except for one thing that I also want to know: What will happen after completing the school? Will the graduate be granted NPP rights? GrabUp - Talk 09:19, 24 May 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Grabup, not sure. I didn't go through it. I went through the rough and tumble of AFC first before doing NPP. But looking at those who were previously trained, the graduates are typically granted the right if there are no further issues found by the reviewing admin. Of course, at the very least, the minimum conditions of granting the rights are still applicable. One should not use NPP school as a shortcut into getting the rights. – robertsky ( talk) 09:27, 24 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Thanks for the information, I am also going throught AfC reviewing, till now I have reviewed 280 articles and thank you for granting me Rollback rights. I am actively countering vandalism with AntiVandal. GrabUp - Talk 09:31, 24 May 2024 (UTC) reply

DYK for 2024 Southeast Asia heat wave

On 25 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2024 Southeast Asia heat wave, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that due to a 2024 heat wave in Southeast Asia, heat indices in the Philippines rose to dangerous levels, as high as 51 °C (124 °F)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2024 Southeast Asia heat wave. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, 2024 Southeast Asia heat wave), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Question from Journowatch (04:22, 25 May 2024)

Hello,

I am working to add new articles for journalists covering Southeast Asia. I have just added a first, but I spent several days preparing it. It is for France 24 journalist Matt Hunt, the regional correspondent. I am sure I made the page properly, but I want to check with you for guidance. Will keep editing in the meantime.

Thank you. -- Journowatch ( talk) 04:22, 25 May 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Journowatch, I declined the draft as It totally fails WP:GNG and WP:JOURNALIST. It requires multiple in-depth coverages from independent, reliable sources. Being a journalist doesn’t make him notable. To establish notability, it requires coverage of the subject. See WP:GNG and WP:JOURNALIST. GrabUp - Talk 04:35, 25 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Thank you, will add and try again. Journowatch ( talk) 04:37, 25 May 2024 (UTC) reply
I have gone back and added the required notability pieces you pointed out - stories from indpendent sources about the journalist's work. Bio, text, etc, the same. Journowatch ( talk) 04:57, 25 May 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Journowatch: As I said, it requires multiple “in-depth” coverages from independent, reliable sources. The sources you recently added are just passing mentions and can’t really establish notability. Read WP:SIGCOV to learn what in-depth means! GrabUp - Talk 06:24, 25 May 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Grabup ok, will read and try again. Thank you Journowatch ( talk) 06:26, 25 May 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Grabup cut the page down, including all non-related sources per the guidelines sent. Added more links to fuller coverage of his work from independent sources. Now, I cannot "resubmit" as it's still pending, but I have saved/published the changes. Journowatch ( talk) 06:58, 25 May 2024 (UTC) reply
