Hi Rambley! I hope you're doing well. I remember your great work significantly expanding Forever Howlong, and, since I noticed your work on expanding articles to GA, I was wondering if you'd be interested in collaborating on a good topic for the studio albums of Black Country, New Road. I believe that Forever Howlong is ready for GA, but Ants from Up There needs citations for some claims and a little bit of copyediting. Yesterday, I've nominated For the First Time for GA (funnily, someone began to review as the time i'm writing this), and I'm also planning to create a separate article for their discography, with each recording properly cited before publishing (User:Cathodography/sandbox/2). Cattos^💭 20:53, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the kind message. I would love to work on getting all these articles to GA and working up to GT. I’ll do some cleanup tonight on FH and nominate it, and we can work on AFUT until it’s at a satisfactory stage. Rambley (talk) 21:50, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's great to hear! I added citations to claims that were uncited, and properly cited genres on AFUT, for now. Cattos^💭 23:36, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've done a lot of copyediting for AFUT both last night and this morning. I've placed tons of ^{[citation needed]} notices across the background and composition sections. The release section will also need some expansion, then it should be good to go. Rambley (talk) 14:11, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see when i can fill in those ^{[citation needed]}s and potentially expand the article itself. I will take my time today in creating the band's discography. Cattos^💭 15:30, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I got bored so I finished up everything myself, haha. Everything is now well cited and cleaned up in terms of language and I went ahead and expanded the Release section. Feel free to take a look over it whenever you get a chance. Rambley (talk) 18:41, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Great! I have just finished in referencing the sources and created their discography, i just need to make the lead paragraphs for FL. By the way, good job getting Exai to GA! Cattos^💭 19:27, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just a little note, I checked WP:FLC and I can't see the nomination. I did see there is a step to add {{Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/name of nominated list/archiveNumber}} at the top of the list, just in case you forgot to do that Rambley (talk) 22:16, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch! I just added the template, should be all set now. Cattos^💭 22:26, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I got bored today and ended up nominating the main Black Country, New Road article for GA. Sharing with you because I thought you might be interested. Feel free to take a look! Cattos^💭 01:31, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Took a look at the article this morning and it looks great, well-written and well-cited. Your work on the main article, discography page and FTFT is really commendable and it's been awesome collaborating with you thus far. Rambley (talk) 08:32, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cathodography Congrats on the FL!! Rambley (talk) 00:43, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw this while I was moving the achievement to your talk page, thank you! Cattos^💭 00:46, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the quick response for my first attempt in submitting my article on artist David Clendining. Your comment indicated I don't have enough sources for the content. Are you looking for more citations, or links to other sources on topics and locations included in the article? Like a town location or more museum or monument information?

I will study more on what is considered adequate cited sources, although what I have found for the artist so far is about all there is out there that I can find. These seemed pretty legit, news articles and CBC interviews, but I'll continue to try to determine what is needed. GYHASHAKE (talk) 14:55, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

BLPs (biographies of living persons) need inline citations next to claims about them in order to verify the claims. Way too many paragraphs in this article are completely uncited, meaning there is no source to confirm the information being written.

Typically, BLPs should follow this format:

[Name] was born in [place] on [this date].^[1]

[Name] liked [this activity] and started doing it on [this date].^[1]

[Name] started work at [company] when they were [age], taking on the position of [job role].^[1]

If your sources do not match the information being written about, it should not be in the article. Article information should be based off claims made in reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject and cover them in significant depth. Even if the article was not a BLP, there is still way too much information without a source. Rambley (talk) 15:00, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited the page and added more citations. There are no citations for the sections on Early Life and Career because there is nothing publicly published about a person's job career, or the 'story' of the life. But there are citations for the artist's work. So, in providing a history about what led him to producing his art, there cannot be any citations.

Should I submit the draft again for your review? GYHASHAKE (talk) 20:22, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If there are no sources for the Early Life and Career sections, then remove them. Information has to be backed up with a source, especially in a BLP; if no sources exist for the information, do not include the information, as Wikipedia articles should consist of reliable, secondary sources being summarised in one's own words.

  • Draft:List of Impressive First By Russian Scientists And Engineers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello Rambley,

You were quick to point out that the page, which I had named by using the word “Lust” as the first word, read more like a fan facts list, however, upon providing you with at least a couple of list type articles which contain no information barring the list of scientist or authors and their major works and those pages are live on Wikipedia, I would like to know that what are your objections now. List type articles or listicles definitely exist on Wikipeida in sheer numbers, and my article would not stand out in any manner at all as Wikipedia allows creation of list type articles that only list the major achievements of a country or high achievers in a particular category, for example arts or authorship. I would greatly appreciate if you were to provide more feedback on how my article, which I have just started and plan to expand significantly, fails to meet the rules of list type articles, or treat the effort justly, just like all other list type articles have been treated, and let it go live with the warning that this article need further entries or more data and the author is planning to slowly expand the article to list all of the major achievement by Russian scientist.

Sincerely,

Irfan — HauntedGhostSurdar

Hello @Rambley! Thank you for reviewing the page (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Sanjib_Bhattacharjee). This is my first article, but after consulting with numerous people who said that the page looks fine (no notability issues) and is ready to submit again, I took the action. The comments you gave were about the Metro newspaper. These 2 particular articles are not tabloid articles so I thought they would be fine since it is a national newspaper. The other publications are specific to the Road Safety field and are highly well-known and regarded, and have all given significant coverage of Mr Bhattacharjee, not just passing mentions. In regards to the use of LinkedIn and Guido Fawkes, these are only on addition to the other sources and if need be I can remove them, but the information seems to be accurate. There are also international newspapers (ie. The Assam Tribune) and also local newspapers like the Ilford Recorder which I have used as well. I have previously removed the Daily Star mention but this was not a tabloid mention either.

Please advise. Flyhigh223! (talk) 22:13, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:METRO. In regards to LinkedIn and Guido Fawkes, these are self-published sources and as such are not regarded as reliable. All of these sources should be removed. Please see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources for information on the reliability (or unreliability) of certain sources.

I did another spot check of the sources and I still standby my former point. The Independent article only mentions Sanjib at the very end in a brief sentence or two. One of the two Road Safety GB articles is titled "OPINION: backlog of driving tests threatens Britain’s road safety" and thus the reliability of the piece is.. questionable. The other Road Safety GB article has no author and I can find no editorial policy for the site itself.

While the election results and British Empire medal are fine, they do not count as significant press coverage of the subject in question. The source from The Guardian isn't actually The Guardian, and is instead the Waltham Forest Guardian. Press releases also cannot be used to establish notability; see WP:PRSOURCE.

While there are a handful of sources that are genuinely reliable and offer significant coverage of the subject like the Intelligent Instructor and the Ilford Recorder, I hope this message outlines there are just too many problems to accept the draft. Our job as AfC reviewers is to review whether an article is the right fit for mainspace and if it would survive AfD. Right now I am unsure it would survive, and thus I declined it. I believe with enough work it may meet Wikipedia standards, though. Hope this helps. Rambley (talk) 22:44, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Rambley thank you so much for your advice. I have worked on it a bit more, am I supposed to also remove the Metro articles? I included the LinkedIn archive previously as I saw this done in other wiki articles but I have now removed this, as well as the Guido Fawkes. Please let me know. Flyhigh223! (talk) 11:35, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Rambley, just to check if you've seen the above? Thanks Flyhigh223! (talk) 18:51, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was at work when you sent the previous response and I get many, many messages here about AfC submissions. You should remove the Metro articles too. Rambley (talk) 18:54, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, totally understand! I've now removed those articles, is it okay to resubmit? I really appreicate your time. Thanks! Flyhigh223! (talk) 17:55, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you want a reviewer to take a look at it, feel free. Rambley (talk) 14:04, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I thought that you are also a reviewer, since you looked at it last time or does Wikipedia randomly allocate reviewers to AfC submissions? In this case, if I submit again, would it be accepted? Thanks again for your time. Flyhigh223! (talk) 16:31, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t spend all of my time reviewing drafts and another reviewer may have a different opinion than mine. I have been quite busy the last few days. If you want a review, submit the draft for review and someone will take a look at it. I cannot guarantee it will be accepted. Rambley (talk) 16:42, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Thanks. I have a few edits in mind- just little thiungs I want to add here and there... small corrections! Ill prbably just be a ghost for, a few days and play with really small things.... but I will surely reach out if I get confused (which is likely!) --Lin-Manuel McButtbacon (talk) 02:18, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I made a minor edit and added a soucre to a date at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Canada_Dash_8

Look ok ??? --Lin-Manuel McButtbacon (talk) 02:37, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks fine, although:

- Do not mark changes you make to the article body as minor. Minor changes are for extremely small things like punctuation changes, template fixes, etc. If it changes the overall information of the article, do not mark it as minor.

- When citing sources, you will want to use the correct citation template. RefToolbar comes pre-loaded with news sites, websites, books and scientific journals, although more exist. I have updated the source you cited with the correct citation template.

- For books, it is often helpful to cite the exact page the information comes from.

Also a note; mentor questions are for specific questions about editing. I don't have to look over every single change you make; just have fun with it and ask me about anything you don't understand. Rambley (talk) 11:17, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm new to this and I was wondering if you could share a little more information about what this draft needs to qualify as a full article? Draft:Pentax MZ-5

It seems to contain more information than the other Pentax AF film SLR articles (save for the MZ-S), but they are stubs so this is an understandable issue. Should I categorize the information more clearly? Does is need more information on what separates this model from other Pentax contemporaries? Keen for your suggestions.

Thanks! Evotron123 (talk) 03:52, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is the amount of sources. Currently we have:

- One review

- An announcement about the camera

- The instruction manual

- An archive of pictures

While the review is good, none of the rest of these sources really do anything to establish the subject is notable enough to warrant an article. Rambley (talk) 08:56, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As I wrote in a comment on your draft;

"You cannot cite Wikipedia itself as a source. One singular secondary source is not enough to establish notability." Rambley (talk) 11:44, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve added a second reliable source other than wikipedia the 2 are related to rock star Alice Cooper and supermodel Kate Moss

One singular source is not enough to establish notability. We often ask for a minimum of three reliable, secondary sources to prove the subject is notable, but more are always acceptable. The only source cited is also primary, which while fine in moderation, should not be used as the basis for an article. Rambley (talk) 10:16, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey rambley how does my article qualify? What can I do? Drishh13 (talk) 09:28, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"The only source being a census does not establish how this is notable."

You can help by adding more reliable, secondary sources to establish how this location is notable. Cheers. Rambley (talk) 09:31, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rambley, Thank you for your time reviewing my draft article "Myron Kapral" and for your valuable feedback regarding the need to strengthen its notability. I've thoroughly revised the draft, directly addressing your comments. Specifically, I have added new, significant, and independent secondary sources that I believe now clearly demonstrate substantial coverage of the subject and meet the WP:GNG criteria. I want to confirm that I have already resubmitted the draft for review. I would be grateful if you could take another look at the updated draft when you have a moment. Any further guidance on whether the revised sources adequately meet the requirements, or if there's anything else I should address, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!

Hi Rambley, I'm writing to clarify your assessment that "WordPress blogs are not reliable sources" in relation to the references I've provided. The sources I used, including "Academic Staff" and "Bio-Bibliographical Index" from the Institute of Ukrainian Archaeography, reviews from academic journals like Urban History and Medieval Encounters, and publications from the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies and the CHEML Project, are all from reputable academic institutions, scholarly journals, or official research initiatives. None of them are private WordPress blogs; they are editorially controlled and recognized reliable sources according to Wikipedia's guidelines. Could you please explain specifically why you consider these particular references to be unreliable or categorize them as private blogs? Kamiro11 (talk) 15:06, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop using LLMs to communicate with me. I would rather speak to you, not an LLM's summarisation of your thoughts.

Source 5 is a WordPress blog. It leads to "https://cheml.wordpress.com/advisory-board/". WordPress blogs are unreliable. Rambley (talk) 15:09, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are they all blogs? Let's come to a compromise Kamiro11 (talk) 15:14, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am unsure what you mean. The WordPress issue relates to one source and was a small part of my decline message. The source is still not acceptable and should be removed or replaced with a more reliable source. The rest of my message, "this is still written like a CV or huge list of achievements rather than an encyclopedia article", remains unaddressed. Rambley (talk) 15:16, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If a person has written about 300 articles and published and edited more than 20 books, it may look like what you wrote, but it cannot be adjusted and is subjective. But the article should have at least three independent sources, and there are more if we add four external links Kamiro11 (talk) 15:22, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean it "cannot be adjusted and is subjective"? You can edit the draft quite easily. The draft, right now, is mostly lists of achievements, publications and affiliations of this author rather than an encyclopedia article. You can, very easily, edit the draft to use prose rather than these lists. Many of these awards or achievements have no sources either. Rambley (talk) 15:26, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is about assessing achievements, which is subjective. Let's go back to the editing process. Many of the references to achievements are to Ukrainian sources. I doubted whether they should be added to the English-language Wiki, so I didn't include them. I'll work on the text and look at other personal articles. Kamiro11 (talk) 15:34, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non-English sources are fine to cite. Rambley (talk) 15:36, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I added a significant entry on a page and dude swoops in and takes it all out becuae it was promotional/ It maybe was, I dont know, but it was also FACTUAL, and added to the account. How do I deal with this? --Lin-Manuel McButtbacon (talk) 16:11, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the edit that was undone, specifically this one, I would have undone it too. It has a very promotional tone throughout and doesn't fit into the formal, neutral language we use in articles. Language such as "a central role in establishing best practices, hosting global competitions, and creating space for photographers to connect" is not fit for an encyclopedia. The only source you provided was a primary source from the business themselves, which is not ideal. Reliable, secondary sources should always be preferred rather than claims from the entity themselves. The edit itself also just seems generally unfitting in the article. Rambley (talk) 16:15, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

i made the "Nabataean Seleucid war" article and you said it was empty,while I added description and tags,I guess there must be a glitch Oneisnottwo1 (talk) 18:01, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft was not rejected, rather declined. Aside from the infobox and two blank sections, your article contained no actual content within it, meaning we couldn't really review it and it was not fit for mainspace. The current iteration now has text. Rambley (talk) 18:03, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry,but I think there's a glitch in the system,I added everything,I think you guys should do something,I swear I added alot,I have screenshots to prove Oneisnottwo1 (talk) 18:12, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you're talking about. The current iteration of the article now has text, but previous iterations don't. I checked the page source and no text was there either. Rambley (talk) 18:14, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way to prove that I did it,or any way to fix this? I think it's because when I made it I didn't add anything at first,but when I made edits to it,none of them apparently work Oneisnottwo1 (talk) 18:17, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please read what I am saying. The current iteration of the article has text. Rambley (talk) 18:18, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft has been "visible and working" since you first created it. Originally the draft had no text apart from an infobox and some references, so it was repeatedly declined by reviewers. As I've said about three times, the current iteration has text and it looks.. fine. I will let another reviewer(s) take a look at it. Rambley (talk) 18:48, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Vastav.AI AliveNull (talk) 20:57, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Rambley. You recently declined my article on 2025 Valorant Champions Tour: Bangkok Masters, saying the sourced used were unreliable. While I understand that comparatively to the rest of Wikipedia, these sources are unreliable, within the domain of Valorant, they are widely considered to be written by reliable authors. Additionally, comparing sources to similar, published articles such as 2025 Valorant Champions Tour: Toronto Masters, 2024 Valorant Champions Tour: Madrid Masters, 2024 Valorant Champions Tour: Shanghai Masters, there is no real difference between the quality of sources used. How should I proceed to make sure the article can be accepted? Should I use more primary sources like the livestreams of the games themselves? Thanks! Azuuuu (talk) 11:13, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll confess I'm not the most knowledgable about video game-related sources. I would still remove Sportskeeda since it's regarded as unreliable and I would consider removing E4EQUIP since it seems to be WP:UGC as well. When writing articles, the less primary sources the better. Rambley (talk) 11:16, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your previous feedback. I have revised the draft significantly to ensure that it meets Wikipedia's notability standards.

- I removed all primary and promotional sources (including company websites). - I now include only third-party **independent, reliable, and in-depth** sources:

 - A national media article from **Manager Online** about the company's HR Tech event.  - A detailed report from **BrandBuffet** about a university training collaboration.  - A seminar announcement covered by **PR News Plus**.  - ISO 27001 certification verification directly from **BSI Group**, an internationally recognized standards body. 

I believe the subject now meets the requirements of notability under WP:ORG, with multiple published and independent sources.

Thank you again for your time and review. 43.240.115.2 (talk) 09:25, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As the name implies, your personal sandbox is a playground of sorts for you to make test edits or other types of edits unsuitable for an article, such as testing features like infoboxes or other templates, drafting new articles, etc. I use mine to create early versions of drafts before I create the real article and to make test edits relating to sources.

how do i switch to dark mode --Napoleonfanboy (talk) 23:10, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dark mode can be enabled by going into your preferences. Under the 'Appearance' tab, scroll until you find a 'color' drop-down. The, you can change it to 'dark' (or 'automatic' if your browser uses dark mode by default). Alternatively, you can put an extension on your browser that applies a dark mode filter to all appropriate websites. Best regards, QwertyForest (talk) 14:23, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries @WikiPro10, I have tagged it for speedy deletion.

Hello! With careful review, is it possible to create a Wikipedia page for a business I work for? Otherwise we'll just be hiring someone to do it for us, and I'd rather create it in an honest way. We meet all the criteria (we're big, have large followings, have big media mentions and features). Thanks! --Fischerjr1 (talk) 17:55, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In theory, if your business is as big as you say it is, then another editor will likely come along and create the article. Conflict of interest editing is frowned upon here.

If you must, please submit your article through the AfC process so neutral editors can review your article draft for neutrality, source reliability and tone. Since you work for the company, you will need to declare your paid editor status as part of the WMF's terms of use; please see WP:PAID on how to do so.
