For this edit. Bearian ( talk) 00:41, 15 January 2021 (UTC) |
Hello @Clarityfiend,
I'm contacting you because @Martin Urbanec recently declined my Out of Bounds (2019 film) submission. I would like to file a complaint in regards to his unacceptable actions. There is no reason why I should have to defend my article. What's quite disturbing is his reasoning behind declining it: 1) at first, i saw the number of references, and thought this has already improved; however, on second sight, I noticed 2) The Philadelphia Tribune has a short paragraph presumably written by their staff, and the majority of the article is marked as "Statement from the director/writer", which makes me think it's not fully independent on the subject, 3) Memphis Flyer doesn't count at all and 4) Hip Hop Weekly doesn't sound like a reliable source, with editorial review etc. He also agreed with your previous statement that my article seems to be pursued to promote, not knowing that you and I had a discussion disproving the aforementioned thought. What's even more alarming is the rate at which my article was reviewed. As you know, it can take months for an article to be queued for review, but in my case it only took "hours" after I submitted it over a year after your reviewal. This leads me to believe not only has my article been flagged, but there is an opposition to intentionally decline it because it is a black film. I've been extremely patient in submitting my review because I couldn't find the supportive articles needed as per your instructions. So, when I submitted it last month after over a year of researching, I knew it would take months to be approved and was in no hurry. That's why I didn't contact you to let you know my article had greatly improved. My first thought was to message you, but I decided to wait the 3-4 months with over 3,000 articles in front of mine.
I believe my article has been wrongfully targeted and discriminated against. @Martin Urbanec comments were not fair and impartial in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines. Moreover, he has displayed blatant disrespect to known Wikipedia approved publications and has impeached and indicted my references in an attempt to validate his declining of my article and to smear The Philadelphia Tribune, which is the oldest continuously run African-American newspaper in the US. He attempted to discredit the newspaper’s integrity for impartiality by saying, "The Philadelphia Tribune has a short paragraph presumably written by their staff, and the majority of the article is marked as "Statement from the director/writer", which makes me think it's not fully independent on the subject." This is clearly his opinion and not a fact. Even you stated an article with only a sentence can be approved if it has supportive references. But clearly @Martin Urbanec has an issue with an article written by a newspaper that has been publishing articles for over 136 years. Considering that we have had 4 years of fake news and lambasting the media, it is outrageous to pick the one black newspaper to tie in with a baseless opinion. If these pages are not reputable, why do they have Wikipedia pages? You stated Memphis Flyer "wasn't nearly enough," but he disregards your statement and says, Memphis Flyer doesn't count at all." He doesn't have the right to eliminate any of my sources.
He also discredits Hip Hop Weekly as an incapable editorial and not "a reliable source, with editorial review etc.," when in fact it is a publication that reviews films that contain hip hop. They even state that in their description. As a reviewer he should know hip hop is a culture and not just a genre of music. With all of that said, one has to conclude there’s a bullseye on this article in an attempt to discriminatory block it. With the statement he left on my article there is no way my article will receive approval from proper and fair judging, so your assistance is really needed.

I saw that you reverted one of my categorizations on the grounds that the article was a post-war film and thus unsuitable to contain Category:1950s war drama films. However, those categories are genre-related categories, and exist for more than just films made during WWII. For example, we also have Category:1920s war films as a category. Thank you for your time.

Although there are several ways of interpreting your username, I interpret it to mean you are a fiend for clarity. If so, can you tell me why you are against headers being sorted alphabetically? Isn't it more neutral and impartial, more fair, to have them sorted that way? What's the alternative? The alternative is having an editor decide which topics ought to come first. That means lots of subjectivity, personal judgment, and opinion. It's tantamount to telling readers what to think, which runs counter to everything Wikipedia stands for. No reference book tells people what to think. It gives them facts. Most reference books organize material in impartial, noncontroversial ways, such as alphabetical or chronological. In a practical sense this also avoids conflict and debate. We can get more done, avoid conflict and debate, if we organize information in neutral ways. Can you tell me why you are against headers being sorted alphabetically? You really think the way Cal is organized now makes it easier to find information? Or is there some reason you are attached to this order: People, Places, then a mishmash? You must have reasons for your edits, otherwise you wouldn't be an editor. It's our job to discuss those reasons.

/info/en/?search=Draft:John_Souder
I am failing to understand how Souder is not notable enough. There are a multitude of articles covering his life and work, he is a well-published artist whose artwork is still sold and collected today (by people such as jay leno), he was the recipient of multiple community awards, there is a memorial in his name, his death was formally honored by a government body. How do these things not pass the "notability" guideline..? I have 20+ citations in the article that confirm all of these things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xander flex ( talk • contribs) 05:46, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Clarityfiend, I’m HelenDegenerate, a new user here. Last night I was exploring the features of Wikipedia and discovered an article with some serious problems: R. Mahendran. It was written like an advertisement for a vanilla-processing business, and I decided to get involved (the Biography section is the worst part). I was wondering if you could help me out by having a look at the article and seeing what you can do to reduce the amount of promotional language used— rewording it. I would be honoured if you would take the time to help me improve this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HelenDegenerate ( talk • contribs) 19:09, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for reviewing the page; you say "Fails WP:BAND", but I can't see how it does not match the criteria listed there. Please explain so I can improve the draft and resubmit?
Hi @Clarityfiend, thanks for your fast reply. With all the sources/articles added, how does it not match criteria 1. or 4.? Really hope to finally get this page approved, so thanks in advance for your help.
Hi @Clarityfiend, you can literally question the notability of any online magazine in the metal music genre. Not every magazine is the "rolling stone", but the listed Metalinjection (USA), Rockhard (DE), Stormbringer (AT) are definitely some of the most notable in the genre. So I'm not sure how eg. a page like /info/en/?search=Beyond_Creation is approved (very similar sources, also a lot from the label, etc), but this one isn't. What am I missing?
Thank you. So, I added multiple more independent album and show reviews, since these seem to be the only ones you classify as "substantial". Good to resubmit, or still lacking of something?
On 30 April 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article John T. Newton, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

this first time review being rejected seems unduly harsh. It doesn't meet the normal criteria for immediate rejection (ie. very clearly never going to be notable/made up) so I'm curious about your reasoning. YODADICAE👽 21:31, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello Clarityfiend, Draft:Roger_Bansemer was flagged with "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article". Today if you search "Roger Bansemer" in Google, a knowledge panel on the right side appears with a drawn image of Roger Bansemer and an incorrect label of "Actor" along with correct biographical data. Curious as to why the information was incorrect I realized there is no WIKI article (which would take search precidence over the lesser sources that produced the panel). So I've set upon the goal of getting a WIKI article published on Roger Bansemer. I then noticed this draft someone has created and the declined status, so the goal is to understand what will meet the bar (where the gap is). I've not followed this process before so any helpful suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Why I think this deserves to become an article is probably best substantiated by his PBS series Painting and Travel with Roger and Sarah Bansemer, which is already a WIKI article in the same way you have another PBS painting personality and show Bob Ross and The Joy of Painting. So in theory we have the exact same thing.
Thanks,

Clarityfiend recently renamed "Gramps" page to " Gramps (software)" modified the redirect to Grandparent.
Although a rename may be appropriate (since the term 'Gramps' is more commonly used to refer to a Grandfather (or old man) in the English language than to the open source software tool), the redirect destination change was premature.
The Gramps page redirect modification created ambiguity, was incomplete, broke well over 100 Wikipedia article internal references] and, in addition, broke external website references. Moreover, a proper disambiguation is more appropriate rather than a blind redirect.

Hello. I find the rule about articles and notability fails as a criterion for compelling contributions. If rules are rules, fine, there are thousands of pages about musicians with no references at all, just descriptive text and claims. If those claims are true, they should be there. Apparently, someone at Wikipedia thought so. I guess editors weren't checking as much back in the day.
I think it's unfortunate that someone who's worked with some of the biggest names in jazz can't have a page published. I would have been happy to be able to show Art his page. He's well-known among the great players.
Sincerely,
Art's brother
I don't understand that passage. The references given do prove that he's played with those people. However, I don't agree with that rule, as much as I agree with the idea that things need to be provable. It seems to me there are many aricles that have a box saying they need more confirmation. For example,
/info/en/?search=Patrick_Verbeke
There's one significant print reference there.
Patrick is a friend, and deserves to be there, but his page isn't justified by the notability rule requiring print references.
I'm sorry to hear that. It means that the rule is wrong in that these are people who are widely known and respected, and deserve to have their information visible. John Klemmer is another, he's a major jazz saxophonist that probably didn't have much written about him, yet anyone in the jazz world would know that name and wonder if he's still alive. I did, and he is. His page has about two references and the box that asks for more complete references. That's what Patrick's and Art's page should have. I'm sorry to hear you editors think that such rules should be followed. I feel they should be rethought. Music is an art and valorous artists and composters deserve to have a page.
Incidentally, although I din't hold much hope for a change, I just looked up two very famous saxophonists (among jazz musicians) who have almost no more than one significant refernce link. They deserve their pages, so I won't mention names. This shows that probably notariety guidelinbes were more tolerant when these pages were created (such as playing with world famous musicians) and/or perhaps the reviewer was knowledgable about jazz. There's a significant difference between jazz and other forms because the amount of publication is far more limited in jazz than it is in other genres.
Dear Clarityfiend, You rejected an article proposal stating that being a production member of a Grammy Award winning album is not the same as winning an album, but it is. The Grammy Academy does give awards to all qualifying crew members of a production, in this case, Gabriel Castañón is the main producer of the winning albums and so, he has been granted several Latin Grammys. Even Audio company Solid State Logic refers to him as such. See here. I meant to answer in the page, but I don't see an option to answer the comment, Thank you for your time nevertheless
Re Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional characters named Taylor. Please be careful.

Both the films I added to the Robin Hood DAB page ("The Adventures of Robin Hood" and "Robin and Marian") are films about Robin Hood, the same as the multiple other films listed on the same page, such as, "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves". So, how are the additions I made improper DAB entries?

The June 2015 issue of Sabretache, The Journal of the Military Historical Society of Australia has an article by myself entitled Forfeited Victora Cross myths. The article, pages 26 to 30, is online at https://www.mhsa.org.au/download/sabretache-vol-lvi-no-2-june-2015/
The article was well received and Lord Ashcroft in Victoria Cross Heroes Volume two refers to my research in the chapter on Gunner James Collis, awarded the VC for Afghanistan in 1880, one of the eight who forfeited the award.
Both lists published by the War Office in 1920 and 1953 include the eight forfeited recipients in the alphabetical list and in a note at the end of the awards before 1914, the eight forfeited awards and the date of the Warrant for each forfeiture is included. There has never been any London Gazette notice, which is required by the Warrant, to indicate that any or all of the forfeited awards have been restored.

All a battle has to have to be qualified as a last stand is for the defenders to be heavily outnumbered, have almost no option of retreat or surrender, inflict heavy casualties on the attackers, and of course be the last line of defense or stronghold before the enemy reaches behind the lines. Any mix and match of any of the criteria listed above means a battle qualifies. And your mass deletion is especially wrong as the wiki page at the time even stated that attackers didn’t have to win for battles to be listed there. GansMans ( talk) 01:41, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
Interested that you rejected my article on the new CEO of the International Tennis Integrity Agency. He meets the notability guidelines as both a Commanding Officer and as CEO of a major sporting body (see associated page). The article has 22 references! More would be easily possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdg8898 ( talk • contribs) 14:27, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello Clarityfiend, will you delete the Maiorano DAB page please? Because I don't have an account. It's a stub where both entries point to redirects. 2A02:C7F:38FC:A300:B113:BFC1:95DD:6AFA ( talk) 02:22, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
That's great, thank you. Can you do something similar to Maiorana please? I'd also delete that page; all but one entry are stubs, one doesn't even have an article.
If redirects are any easier to delete then there's these undue ones that, though unrelated, used to messily crosslink:
Maiorana (surname)
Maiorano (disambiguation)
Maiorano (surname)
Majorana (disambiguation)
Majorana (surname)
Talk:Maiorana (surname)
Talk:Maiorano
Talk:Majorana (surname)

Shouldn't Maiorana also be a DAB? I thought they only needed to be split out if there's so many that the DAB is unwieldy. As it stands, all but one entry are stub articles and one (Daniel) points to a redirect without it's own article.
Also, can I ask why you removed the Majorana equation and fermion, and marjoram from Majorana?
Regardless, thank you for all your help.

Hello. This is to discuss your edits in Swede Vejtasa.
In the show, Mr. Vejtasa says he shot down 4 dive bombers and 2 torpedo bombers, which is not just 4 in total as you wrongly stated in the article. Please correct your text accordingly, because as it is now, it is incorrect and cannot be in the article. And please make it a note, same as the other note in that spot:
Postwar analysis confirmed four; see Lundstrom, John B. The First Team and the Guadalcanal Campaign, pp.397, 401, 420-421, 425
Not only it is not aesthetic right now, arguably your note is not of a higher importance than the one about Lundstrom's postwar analysis, and thus cannot be sticking out in the main text like that. For making a note you can either use ref or efn commands.

Hello, I post submissions on professional basketball, it is my passion. This post was declined recently. But why then is this article below on wikipedia? If anything my submission is better written and includes more accurate information. The table on the side is also consistent with other pro coaches and players. Thanks
