Hi, I've held off reviewing manually for a bit because the bot currently runs and has its own mind. I ticked ones which it had crossed for sourcing issues and in the hourly run it restored the cross back. Emir doesn't seem to be around today to sort it out! The bot doesn't seem to be patrolling the other continent pages at the moment, just North Americza, but I didn't want to review any other continents manually and the bot run later and override me again! Double checking the ones currently approved is fine, but the bot is usually pretty good at doing what is required.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:11, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
Ah, to review articles manually without the bot interfering you have to add a double bullet point on a new line underneath and nothing on the line itself.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:38, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
Make sure when reviewing that any comment is on a double bullet on a new line as the bot has a habit of rereviewing and don't want any comments you make wiped out!♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:03, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Cwmhiraeth, Apologies for the interruption. Looking at DYK Prep 5, I am concerned that the Tongo Tongo ambush is not as well supported by the article & sources as it might be; it currently reads as suggesting that a widespread comparison to the Benghazi controversy was made, this is not in the article. But I think it could easily fixed through attribution of the comparison. Suggest that President Donald Trump's response to the deaths of four American soldiers in Tongo Tongo ambush in Niger was compared to the Benghazi controversy by Democrat Representative Frederica Wilson?
or similar. I am happy to make this tweak. - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 06:45, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
... that it was suggested by Democrat Representative Frederica Wilson that President Donald Trump's response to the deaths of four American soldiers in the Tongo Tongo ambush in Niger might wind up as being the president's Benghazi incident? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:06, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for raising the issue of copyvio on some of my pages, I'm going through them all now and amending so this won't be an issue in the future. I noticed for some of my other pages on the contest page the detector says around 20-30% so I'm fixing these first. Any instances have been in good faith and unintentional but I'll check this on all future pages I create too. Thanks again for the link to the tool. Slafayette (talk) 12:14, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello! In an edit long long ago you introduced a sentence which was tagged with a citation needed tag this week:
I know it was long ago, but any chance you'd be able to find a ref for that? It looks like everything else in your edit was sourced to a Scottish gov page which is dead (and not archived) but which I think is the same as this page? I poked around a bit, but didn't see anything. That said, I'm no expert here and I easily could've missed something. Anyway, if you can find a ref for that, that's be great! If not, maybe we should just remove that sentence for now. Thanks! Happy editing! Ajpolino (talk) 21:04, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for reformatting the referencing styles in the articles I submitted for the contest. But I have about seven articles in draftspace and they will likely be flagged by the bot again when I move to mainspace tonight. I just want you to know that the reason the issue is arising is because of the speed at which I create the articles and I am more comfortable typing dates as text, but ProveIt gives it as numbers in the URL access date. So it isn't intentional if it happens again. Regards. Darreg (talk) 16:22, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello Cwmhiraeth -- I submitted Arlinda Locklear to the North American section of the WiR World Contest, but the ContestBot is refusing to accept it due to a "date format" error.

I was adding to the article Winter moth and saw that two parasitic species being used to combat this invasive species in North America are not adequately described in Wikipedia.

...might have grown poppies/opium with John W. Morton (Tennessee politician), which would make the DYK even more interesting. But Morton's obituaries fail to mention this (possibly because it was partly banned in 1913). I can find RS about a druggist named Morton who grew poppies to make opium, but not specifically that it was the Confederate veteran who went on to serve as Tennessee's state secretary. His bio does say he took up farming round that time though.Zigzig20s (talk) 18:59, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

You asked for confirmation as to whether there was a conflict of interests in my creation of the page in that I was either directly or indirectly compensated for my edits:
The answer is a categorical no: I was not compensated directly or indirectly, and the page was in no way a form of paid advocacy. I have not and do not expect to receive any compensation for the edits/contributions. I can also confirm that I have no financial interest in the creation of the page.
I was very careful indeed to ensure the contributions/edits I made had no 'selling messages' and were not promotional, but categorically and only factual in nature. I would ask you to review the contributions against my background of confirming no direct or indirect compensation and you will see I used no emotive or positive adjectives whatsoever. Further, I was also very careful indeed to ensure each of the contributions/edits were referenced to legitimate external sources (I appreciate you took no issue with that element, but I wanted to point that out so as to stress the independent and dispassionate nature of the contribution).
As requested, I shall make no further edits or tags in relation to the deleted page (including any requests for restoration of the page) until you have had the chance to read this message and respond accordingly. Although, I would like the page restored as I worked really hard on it and I'm sure it meets all other Wikipedia guidelines (you would be better to assess than than me, but I'm sure that's right).
I do hope the above is the information you required.
Hi Cwmhiraeth - no need to apologise. I absolutely understand that articles need to be assessed and sometimes mistakes can be made. In terms of the article, I no longer see it. I think it has been deleted. I don't suppose you would be so kind as to point me in the direction of how to retrieve it? I was unable to find the deleting administrator etc. All the best Siolio(talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:21, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello Siolio. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Siolio. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Siolio|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:38, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Cwmhiraeth, (apologies if this is not proper Wikipedia etiquette)
Would you be able to remove your "marked for speedy deletion-copyright" tags on the Tamarin Prover page? I think and believe I have clearly demonstrated how the content is not in violation of copyright, as it is open-sourced material. If I do need to do anything further to demonstrate this please let me know, but if nothing further needs to be added, I would appreciate it if you could remove the tags you've added.

Hello Cwmhiraeth, I saw your notification of the nomination for speedy deletion for the article Raghav Podar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raghav_Podar) today as I was out of town and by the time I saw, the article was already deleted. However this was my first article, which I published on 23rd January, so I was hoping for some clarification on your comments. You gave 2 reasons for the deletion of my article. The first reason was you found my content to be promotional and nominated under G10. I would like to understand which particular content in the article you found it to be promotional, so that I can do the changes accordingly. The second reason for nomination was under G11 i.e. copyright infringement and for that I found that the following content (see below) could be potential infringement:
“Mr. Raghav Podar’s contribution to the field of education and he has been bestowed with many awards for his contributions in the field of education and nation building including:
However, I would like to know that apart from this is there any other copyright issues. As I said this was my first article and have spent some time working on the same, I'm open and eager to understand the article's issue, and make the needed modifications. I would request you to kindly undelete article for me to make the necessary changes based on your response. Regards, 05:00, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Heena jatania (talk)
Hello, I did my first article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIP_TIG) a couple of months ago with the help of Dodger67 from Teahouse. Now, you tagged my article for speedy deletion as a copyright infringement. But in my opinion, there is no copyright infringement. The article is a technical article about a well know welding process. Another point is, that I work for the AWS and the inventor/owner of this welding process allowed us to use every kind of content/pictures/videos about TIP TIG. Please can you specify what do you exactly mean with copyright infringement. THX JP1308 (talk) 12:08, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Cwmhiraeth, I was wondering if you could do me a favor and look at this tonight (or, I guess, morning your time). It's a nomination intended for Epiphany (this Saturday), and I've had to do some editing to the article. My question is with the hook, which is generally supported by the source, but there's a caveat to it that I'd like your opinion of, since I've just adjusted the article text to reflect said source.
What the article now says: It is the only well-known Epiphany hymn or carol about the Biblical magi that avoids referring to them as either "magi" or "kings" and does not state how many there were.
What the hook says: It is the only Epiphany hymn that doesn't describe the Biblical Magi (pictured) as "magi" or "kings" or state their number?
The source (at https://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Reader-Haworth-Popular-Culture/dp/1560249749; if you "look inside" the book and put in the title of the hymn, "As with Gladness Men of Old", in the search box, it will take you to page 71 where the info is) talks about "famous carols" about the magi, and then "one famous carol" that avoids calling them magi or kings or saying that there were three of them, which is of course "As with Gladness Men of Old".
To me, this says that there may well be any number of obscure/lost carols that also didn't call them magi or kings or give their number; but if so, none of them are famous/well-known.
So, I was wondering what you would suggest. I could provide an ALT with "well-known" and leave it to someone else to approve and a third someone to promote. I could just add "well-known" to reflect the text (but it's my addition, so that may not be kosher along with an approval). Or, if you think "well-known" is not close enough to "famous" (or the other word used in the source, "popular"), I could use either of them in both article and hook instead, though I'm generally leery of using a word like "famous", since it's so subjective. I am not inclined to approve the hook as is, since there may well be one (or many) obscure or just no-longer-popular hymn that refers to the event without the numbers of travelers or the popular names. Or you may have another idea entirely. Please let me know. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:47, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Cwmhiraeth. Your tweak of the hook is actually inaccurate. This was not part of the decor. There were real waiters going around dressed as angels and an actor dressed as St. Peter was actually sprinkling water from the ceiling.

Hi, I just read your notice that you were deleting the page I worked on, "Dahlia Schweitzer." I'm unclear why it was deleted, and also why it was deleted so quickly without any time for me to fix it. I'm unclear why the page was seen as promotion. It says that the page was deleted due to copyright infringement. I have no idea why that would be the case and there is no elaboration that I could find.
"This applies to text pages that contain copyrighted material with no credible assertion of public domain, fair use, or a compatible free license, where there is no non-infringing content on the page worth saving. Only if the history is unsalvageably corrupted should it be deleted in its entirety."
So the content was "unsalvageably corrupted" with "no credible assertion"? Please explain.
"This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION. If a subject is notable and the content could plausibly be replaced with text written from a neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion. Note: Any article that describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion."
The subject is notable and I'm happy to rewrite any sections which you feel are not appropriately neutral. Even the Wikipedia guidelines say this is preferable to deletion.
Please explain.

Hi, I have a quick question regarding scoring in the Wikicup. I know that you can't claim points for a DYK achieved after an article achieves GA status but can you claim points for the reverse?

Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - {{underlinked}} - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

Hi Cwmhiraeth, Thanks for bringing your concerns with The Nine Club page to my attention. I've attempted to add additional sources to the mix. While there is little scholarly or mainstream coverage of the show, its notability requirements and independent source requirements should be met by specialist media (that is, skateboarding media) sources and links. I'd appreciate your insight on the deletion page after reviewing the current revisions. Best, Mariano Landa (talk) 20:13, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

I would be grateful if you didn't go on a hunt to ruin every article I wrote. English is obviously not my mother tongue so I might have more difficulties with taking information from sources and formulating grammatically correct new sentence structures but I in no case where you tagged copyright violations copy pasted passages. This would be no copyright infringement in scientific works and it is no copyright infringement on Wikipedia either. Thank you very much. I guess I have to delete my article list on my user page now because otherwise there are users that are going to try to delete or ruin each one of my articles.--DerSpatz (麻雀) 🐧 11:44, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello, you have deleted my page "Jack Victor" without any notice of deletion or time to correct the violations that you claimed. I think at least you could wait or suggest corrections rather than deleting the page and force me to start from scratch. I think there is no need to delete the page. I ask for another administrator to look at it. Also, I see a lot of different similar pages and no one deleted them. I want to know, the page has been online for more than 6 months, how come you think it is not appropriate after that long period ? Aladdin 16 (talk) 17:36, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Hey there, Cwmhiraeth! Thanks for your message. This is the first article that I've thus far published, so I was hoping for some clarification on your comment. I've checked the page on "promotion" that you kindly linked. However, I'm still having some trouble understanding how this article may come across as falling under any of the listed "promotional" subcategories. I was hoping to submit a response on the "contest the deletion" section that you also kindly linked-- however, I am not quite sure what to respond to, as I'm having trouble understand the correlation here. As Wikipedia defines "Promotion" as "advocacy, propaganda, recruitment, opinion pieces, scandal mongering, self-promotion, and advertising, marketing, or public relations" I'm, again, having a hard time understanding the connection. I didn't include any opinions... Nor do I know the artist personally. Therefore I'm a little confused as to how, or what, I might be promoting. Am I misunderstanding your note? There are a couple "not in citation given" edits that have been recently added to the page-- is this what you are referencing? If so, I believe most all of these are in error, with the exception of two-- which I have since fixed. I'd love to send you the exact page number or screenshots from said citations if the trouble has arisen from locating the information within each reference. Beyond this, I'm a little lost as to how else to respond when I can't find anything else that might have been construed as "promotional". Any and all help that you could offer would be greatly appreciated. As I said, I'm new here and spent some time working on this one. Going forward, I wouldn't want to be repeatedly making an error to which I'm ignorant. In the meantime, I'm open and eager to understand the article's issue, and make the needed modifications. Thanks so much in advance.

Your indefatigable efforts at DYK are appreciated but I notice that you've put Blossom's Inn into the quirky slot of prep 5. I always make some effort to make hooks entertaining and so they often end up there. But, in this case, it would be a great shame to waste the picture. I was especially pleased when Philafrenzy added the picture to the article because it is so evocative of the place and period. Please reconsider the article for the picture slot so that readers may appreciate both the hook and the picture. Otherwise, I may feel obliged to make my picture hooks less quirky and that would be a shame too. Andrew D. (talk) 07:48, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi the page Ruff Kid doesn't have any copyright infringements from Music Africa because the the site is under Creative Commons License and here is prof for that fact Leagl statement. So please do consider that fact even after you put up that tag. Chabota Kanguya (talk) 09:27, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
You do realise that according to your own post, the error in the hook promoted (i.e. the year of the fire) which was going to be on the main page (along with the various other issues) constitutes "no error"? While I'm reviewing all the hooks, one name seems to be relatively common across most of the problematic hooks right now, so please take more time when promoting. Right now we're at an almost epic low point in DYK quality. The Rambling Man (talk) 23:21, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
If you will notice that I pinged Usernameunigue along with your's. I was actually asking Usernameunique to review ALT3, as he had reviewed the hook that was approved. I was just keeping you in the loop. I thought it should have been Usernameunique that should have reviewed ALT3. I didn't know it should have been Black Kite, as you corrected me. Anyway I did ping him if ALT3 would work at 11:21 27 January 2018. So far no response from him.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:45, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi Cwmhiraeth. I see you marked BreakTudo Awards as reviewed. I just recently ran across the article and am concerned that from the current content and references it's notability is unclear, it's advertising, and it's written very poorly from very poor sources. I don't read Portuguese and don't want to rely on auto-translate to determine what sources indicate encyclopedic value vs publicity, so I'm not looking for replacement sources. I've tagged the article for speedy deletion based upon it's current state as an advertisement. I'm contacting you in case you might have some familiarity with the awards, and so could offer some alternatives if possible. --Ronz (talk) 21:16, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

If you could let me know, that would be great. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 07:17, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi I just wanted to let you know why I declined your G11 nomination for the above article. I was in the middle of cleaning it up when you tagged it for CSD. I was tempted to do the same thing as you but before I did so I checked out the sources and this person is very clearly notable. Most of the content was factual and neutrally written and I didn't actually have to remove much to take away the promotional tone. As per WP:G11 "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION. If a subject is notable and the content could plausibly be replaced with text written from a neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion." As it suggests on the deletion template "Nor does this criterion apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself," Dom from Paris (talk) 14:39, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

hi sorry for unreviewing but there is no way that this club is notable as is. At best a notability tag needs to be added but I think this is probably a speedy delete candidate. It's an amateur team and their claim to fame is winning a 6 a side local summer league title.

Hi, can you show me the alleged copyvio? I'm confident I avoid those, and it's been removed within hours. --Marc Lacoste (talk) 06:07, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Hello Cwmhiraeth, I see you requested certain historical revisions of this article be redacted. You noted that the contents of the lead section were a copyright violation (under criterion RD1) of this webpage: http://getalternative.net/software/oracle-enterprise-resource-planning-cloud.
Upon further review, the source you referenced, Getalternative.net, has directly pulled content from Wikipedia to fill the “Description” field of their product pages. Not the other way around.
Here are several examples:
It also appears there was no discussion of the request and redaction of historical revisions prior to their removal.
I believe the historical revisions and content that were removed from the lead should be restored.
I also invite Amortias to weigh in on this discussion.

Generally good work during the NPP backlog drive, and thank you for your massive effort! Having looked over a couple dozen of your reviews, they were generally done well, but could be improved by greater use of article maintenance tags. One anomaly was Richard C. Squires, for which I wonder why it wasn't nominated for deletion (perhaps you found something that I didn't?). I noticed that you did plenty of deletion nomination during the drive, so I know you are not shy with it, and it was an isolated incident, so no big worries on that front, but I'll note it anyway. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 03:23, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for this message on my talk page regarding Julia Jäkel. I understood and respect that you've requested a speedy deletion. I am very sorry that the article seemed promotional to you because it was just a translation of the German Wikipedia article. As the article was deleted only a few hours after your request, I had almost no chance to contest the decision during the holiday season.
Do you think there's a chance to restore the last revision of Julia Jäkel to my userspace, for example here? This would give me an opportunity to revise it completely and submit it again through AfC. As far as I see from the logs, Seraphimblade was the admin who followed your speedy deletion request.

Hello Cwmhiraeth. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of T.S. Leander, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: not all revisions meet G11 (if any). Part of Sea Cadet Corps is a claim of significance. Copyvio can be handled by removal and revision deletion. Thank you. SoWhy 11:58, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
SoWhy, considering that the only "non-copyvio revisions" were empty ones (only an infobox, no text, so speedyable as well), I have deleted this anyway. And of course, "Part of Sea Cadet Corps is a claim of significance." is false, "Part of Sea Cadet Corps" is a local branch of a youth organisation, nothing more. This has been handled for 2 hours now, and all copyvio versions were still present in the history. When you encounter a copyvio like this, please simply delete it and (if necessary) then create a new article or redirect instead: don't simply replace the copyvio with a redirect or other text.

Hi, thanks for your feedback on the new Jim Melvin page. I was not under the impression that there would be a conflict of interest regarding my creation of this page. However, in the spirit of promoting truly neutral content on Wikipedia, I'd happily agree to having yourself, or another editor, take a cleanup pass on the page. I do believe that Mr. Melvin's background makes him notable and worthy of inclusion in this community. I'm looking forward to continuing to contribute in a positive way in the community.

Hello Cwmhiraeth, thanks for your message.
This page should not be speedily deleted because Life Extension Advocacy Foundation does not fit the criteria for deletion.
1. Life Extension Advocacy Foundation people are public figures represented in mass-media (newspapers, journals, tv-programs) in several countries as the opinion leaders and the active proponents of development and implementation of the medical technologies to prevent, postpone and reverse age-related diseases (the links to several external sources of this kind are given in the list of references making part of the page; the list is not exhaustive, the organization is open to adding more references if necessary). Life Extension Advocacy Foundation is currently the second in coverage niche news source telling specifically about the findings in rejuvenation and longevity research (according to Alexa rank, after the news source called www.FightAging.org).
2. The reason why the page was created was not only to promote or publicise an entity. Life Extension Advocacy Foundation has a noble humanitarian goal of educating the public regarding the potential and advancement of the medical technologies to manipulate the processes of aging with certain health benefits such as the possibility to postpone, prevent and eventually cure age-related diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes type 2, stroke, heart disease, and others. However, the organization is open to the suggestions regarding how to improve the page to make it more informative to serve its goal better.
3. There is no copyright infringement of http://www.lifespan.io/, because the crowdfunding platform for longevity research www.Lifespan.io is the flagship project of Life Extension Advocacy Foundation, so the two entities are closely related.
As I am somewhat new to Wikipedia, I might miss some nuances, so please, let me know if you think these reasons are not enough to keep the page in Wikipedia. I would also appreciate a lot if you could give me an advice regarding what kind of additional references from the external sources the organization should add to underline its important humanitarian role.
Thanks!

Hi Cwmhiraeth: The Wiki Education Foundation is developing a guide to help students write about all topics related to science communication, and I’m reaching out to a small number of experienced editors with an interest in science topics on Wikipedia to see if they’d be interested in providing feedback.

Cwmhiraeth, this nomination, which dates back to last October (!), was finally given a tick a few days ago. The next time you build a prep set, it would be great if it could finally get promoted. Conversely, if you (and Yoninah) haven't been promoting it because you feel it has problems, it's probably best to get these out in the open and aired—it's now around four and a half months old and counting. Thanks for whatever you feel you can do. BlueMoonset (talk) 08:16, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
I'm not convinced by your two tags on Mechanisms of the English common law , namely "refimprove" and "original research". There are already nine references and a dozen or so Wikilinks, all of which can be used to verify the statements. I can't see how it can be original research; the article is simply a reasonably succinct and crisp explanation of what is common knowledge to lawyers.

I've been trying to get information about the page deletion from the ID that showed deleted the page in their talk page but am not getting anywhere. I just noticed your comment on my talk page and I had responded to the discussion on the C7 page as well. I mentioned I was new to some of this, didn't want to expand the C7 page too much so I created a new sub page that contained non-promotional information (so I thought). I am fine integrating that content into the C7 page if that is the way it should be done, and slimming it down or removing content that someone might think is promotional. It would be nice to have some guidance as to what was bothering folks about it, there were many positive comments about it, people seemed to appreciate all of the statistics and information as a reference which is what wikipedia is supposed to be I thought. I was starting to work on similar content for other editions, but don't want to do so if that is a problem. Please advise as to what is wrong with all of this and I'll try to correct my behavior if needed.
The most important thing is I'd really like to have my content back so I can work on it. I thought the content would be here so I didn't keep copies of it and if I'm going to integrate it somewhere else it would be nice to not start from scratch. I can't seem to find it in any deletion logs or anywhere else. I've asked for that on the other talk page as well and seem to be getting nowhere fast. Kpauley (talk) 15:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Cwmhiraeth. First and foremost, thanks again for your help on the Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve and Odzala-Kokoua National Park articles. You may have seen my ping here. If you're enjoying the process of updating these articles, I'm happy to keep working with you, as you've been very helpful. But I want to reiterate that I don't mean to ask too much of you or any single Wikipedia editor, so if you'd prefer I find other volunteers, I can seek help on WikiProject talk pages, or from other editors who seem to have an interest in Africa and/or protected areas. With that said, I'm currently looking for someone to review the Majete Wildlife Reserve draft, as well as Draft:Chinko, which could be moved into the main space from the draft space since there is not an existing article.

In this case, Yoninah suggested an alternative image, so she shouldn't try to do this one; I'm hoping you can do so soon. Thank you very much for looking into it.

Hi, I'm surprised that you removed the tag. Not one of the sources is independent. All of the sources are either Oxford (his employer), papers (that he wrote) or the Oxford caving club (where he is a member). This is a textbook example of primary sourcing. When new editors ask for examples of primary sourcing I give them a link to Gavin Lowe. – Lionel(talk) 06:38, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello ! First of all, allow me to introduce myself. I'm a 20 years old French student, so excuse the few mistakes I may produce.
Concerning the Nicolas Babin page, I'm not affiliated with the previous iteration of this page, I just wanted to translate it because I'm the main contributor for this article on the French Wiki as well. I didn't know there was a previous page before on this wiki, as there wasn't a page when I created it on the French Wiki, so I assumed it was the same on the English Wiki.
About the article itself, what should I do in order to keep it online ? What should I correct in order to make it more objective ?
On the other hand, concerning the subjet itself, I thought there were plenty enough references, both in french and international, to make the article recevable.
Sincerly,

Cwmhiraeth, you did the original review on this. As far as I can tell, the nominator was the one of the two creators who didn't have five DYK credits, so you were correct in approving it. Can you return and see if any of the issues raised afterward still apply, and try to get the nomination moving again? It's one of the oldest we have, and it would be nice to get it settled. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:16, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Cwmhiraeth, can I ask a favour? I have extensively rewritten Haddock, which being Scottish and loving a fish supper I just had to do. It's classed a Start article on a few projects but I, modestly, think I have made substantial improvements to it. I would be grateful if you could have a read of it and give me your thoughts.

@Fram: The edit you made to New Zealand Sea Cadet Corps at 6.56 today was a bit over-hasty, replacing in the article, as it did, the copyright violation I had earlier removed. However, you did rectify your error a couple of minutes later, although in the process you removed all the references that editor Zulu uluz had added in his efforts to improve the article.
I know little about the Wayback Machine. I get the impression it is useful for showing previous content of the web, but not necessarily for demonstrating the reverse, that something was not previously on the web. For example, pages may be retained where subpages are not, or one version retained but another not, depending on the frequency of crawls. So the Wayback Machine has its limitations, especially when a search is being done by you in an effort to demonstrate that an earlier version of a particular site did not exist.

The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:
So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi Cwmhiraeth. Sorry to bother you about this but I would like to ask if you would be able to close the merge proposal on Triangular corner flags in English football?

Hi Cwmhiraeth, Thanks for your comments on the subject page. They were very helpful to me, and I appreciate your taking the time.

Hi Cwmhiraeth, can you please explain why the page was deleted? The reasons listed are violation of copyright (there is a URL included -- is this the source of violation?) and advertisement (it is not, it is am article about a professional association, it has numerous references to outside sources, including several Wiki pages. Please help. I am new to Wiki (returning after a long hiatus), and I have worked on this page for a long time after it was once already deleted (the problem was that it was missing references, which I painstakingly provided). What can I do to improve it and how can I retreive the deleted draft to improve it? thank you.
Klaustrofobia (talk) 02:36, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
Thank you! THe url mentioned was the reference to another prof organization page, which, in turn, quoted from SASE's page. I was trying to go for accuracy (thus quoting), but I see your point. Unfortunately I cannot recover the first draft emailed, I cannot access that account because I no longer have access to the recovery account (I set this account up a long time ago). In any case, that draft is useless, I took in the earlier suggestions and reworked it. In creating a page, I was using the American Sociological Association page as a guideline (I am a member of both), which also quotes from the mission statement, albeit briefly. I read it that referring to existing pages is a poor defense, but can you please provide a guideline on how to not be charged with producing advertisement? I thought I provided sufficient references. Have I not? Many thanks.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Klaustrofobia (talk • contribs) 13:43, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
I have looked at the SOLE page and every single reference is from the org’s own webpage, except the publisher page of their journal. Is this acceptable? I was chastised the first time I created a page that references cannot only be referencing the organization’s own page because this amounts to advertisement. Please clarify, if you can, whether I can just follow the template. Thank you!
Klaustrofobia (talk) 17:41, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
Dear Cwmhiraeth,
This is what the editor who deleted the page replied to my request for retrieving the draft: I do not consider undeletion requests for promotional content, especially from editors with no substantial contribution history outside the relevant topic. You need to start from scratch. MER-C 19:49, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
This sounds punitive. Is there any recourse? I am not recruited by the organization for promoting purposes. I am simply a member and have no financial stake. SASE is a non-profit organization, a learned society, as they call them. They are no selling anything. I am an academic, another membership organization I belong to (ASA) has a wiki page, which I used as a model. I am flabbergasted by this seeming hostility... I created a new page before, albeit in another language, but on a living person, which I now understand is even more difficult, and I never faced anything like this. I appreciate any advice on how to retrieve the draft.
Klaustrofobia (talk) 21:27, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
Dear Cwmhiraeth, Could you please take a look at the draft of the SASE article I have in my Sandbox to see whether it passes the muster? I gave it another shot, but would like advice before trying to move it to the public space. Many thanks,
Klaustrofobia (talk) 14:37, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
I assure you that past presidents are notable academics, often endowed chairs and leaders in their field. In academy, having your own wiki page is not really meaningful (and the barriers are steep for new articles on living persons). Not allowed to use wiki? Ok, could you please confirm whether it is acceptable to use association's own website for references? All three examples of professional associations you suggested that I look at only reference their own website plus, in two cases, their journal website. None of them have references to newspapers and such. It looks to me that the "quality" is highly variable, or, at least, it used to be much easier to start to new page.
thanks!
Klaustrofobia (talk) 13:36, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
I did not suggest you do! The association whose page you deleted is a prominent academic society, its first president was Gary Becker, no less, winner of the Nobel memorial Prize in Economics and one of the key figures of neoclassical economics at UChicago. I think there is a basic misunderstanding of what academic (learned) societies do. I read the wiki instructions about criteria for notability, and non-profit learned societies are not specifically mentioned anywhere, and the discussion is hardly applicable to them. They are not for profit companies or churches or lobbying groups or political parties, or whatnot. They are professional societies of academics, their leadership is peer-elected and they are the leaders in their respected fields with long lists of peer-reviewed publications. The fact that there are no or few "newspaper articles" about them is irrelevant. Do you know what is the acceptance rate in premier academic journals? Lower than in Ivies. If you continue applying the same criteria of self-promotion and lack of notability, many more pages can be deleted.

Good afternoon, Cwmhiraeth, and thank you for reviewing this article. You can probably guess which novel I was reading when I decided to become a member! Izzat Kutebar (talk) 11:13, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the response. I would agree he is a very colourful character. Personally I have no problem with the fact he is an American Anglophile or even someone who has an interest in the British monarchy (I am ambivalent to the Royals). You can be the best expert on something and not be from that nation. However, I think the joke on him was his pseudo-Britishness, it was embarrassing. Personally, I suspect he wouldn't be long before he would be on something like HIGNFY or some reality show int he near future. 159753 (talk) 17:36, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Dear Cwmhiraeth,
thank you very much for reviewing my first draft of The Economic Writings of Sir William Petty. As far as I'm concerned, the text is not yet ready. I have a couple of more critical reviews to add. I hope to add them soon. And I'm still working on vol. 2 at ws. (you can see the progress here). So that will bring some more info and links in the near future. And more separate articles concerning Petty. But as you have perhaps found out, English is not my native language. So it takes me quite some time, to get all things ready at a more or less acceptable level. But your positive and personal feedback does really encourages me to continue with my project. Thanks again and I'll soon send you a stroopwafel from the Netherlands, --Dick Bos (talk) 10:59, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi Cwmhiraeth, Thank you for your comments on the article Robert D. Bell, especially about the lack of notability. There were two main points in Judge Bell's that signified notability, and I had thought that, apparently erroneously, that these came through in the opening paragraphs. One was that Bell became the youngest judge in the state when he was first named. It said to me that he must have impressed his mentors and colleagues of his legal knowledge and capability even before he had much real world experience in the courtroom. Second, that his pursuit of dash-cam evidence as public property that cannot be legally withheld from use by the attorney for a defendant. His argument won the day for one defendant and set a precedent that will likely stand on principle for at least one state (and maybe all) until a legislature changes the rule. Moreover, the fact that he pursued it in the face of opposition from some senior law enforcement officials strikes me as courageous.
I'm not part of the legal profession, but it seems very difficult for an appellate judge, in particular, to do something that others consider notable. As you can tell, that is the effect Bell's actions had on me when I read about them. If I'm wrong, please feel free to say so. If not, do you have some suggestions about how to rewrite the summary to clarify the situation?
Again, Thanks for taking the time to help. Bruin2 (talk) 02:23, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello again, Cwmhiraeth. I followed a new user to your above-named AFD and became suspicious enough to raise Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/NJStaniforth. As it is your AFD case that is directly implicated, I think you should know about it. I may be completely wrong, as the evidence is circumstantial, and I will apologise to all concerned if I am wrong, but I think there is enough here to be suspicious about. It will do no harm to have the administrators check the four accounts involved. Thanks again and all the best. Izzat Kutebar (talk) 14:51, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Dear Cwmhiraeth,
Thank you for helping me improve the article about the School of Governance. Recently you removed a large chunk of the article that I had created (lists of professors, teaching staff, etc.) with the note "Removing fluff as per WP:INDISCRIMINATE".
I've read up on the mentioned paragraphs and don't find anything in the indiscriminate section, that would qualify for a removal of the things, you removed in the article.
Since I'm fairly new to Wikipedia I would be thankful if you could help me out on this one. I've put quite some work into the article and don't yet fully understand the removal of all the - in my opinion valuable - detail. Maybe I'm being to "German" on some of the details...?! ;)

Thank you for your feedback on the Cliff Oberlin page.

Hi Cwmhiraeth, I'm hoping to nominate an article for FAC for the first time, and the advice says I should seek out a mentor. The article is Group testing (mathematics), and I've been practically the sole editor for the past two years. (Recently the article passed its GA review with quite positive feedback.)
I noticed from the mentoring list that you have an interest in scientific articles, and I was wondering if you'd be up for mentoring me with this one (there doesn't seem to be anyone that specialises in Maths specifically). I don't think it will be a crazy amount of work, because in my (likely biased) view the article is a good way to passing already.

Hello! I saw that you moved Joseph Hermann Mohr to the DYK prep area 6. However, it is a biography, and it makes more than four biographies in one set, which I believe is not allowed. Could you maybe move it to another queue? I'm not very experienced with this, so I might have gotten something wrong. Thanks! RileyBugz私に叫ぼう私の編集 12:54, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Cwmhiraeth, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.
Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 00:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I have a question.
I'd like to know why you nominated the page for speedy deletion . If there are errors , as an expert wikipedian, you could just let me know and I will simply remove it. I am not perfect and still learning. Eyitayo Alimi (talk) 12:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello, First, I went into your profile as you approved my latest article Kalabsh 2 and I'm thankful for this and I'm asking for another thing. I got problems with a new article I created and stated COI, StreamingVideoProvider, but some admins said it is promotional or not notable, and after many discussions they have not say anything specific or gave one clear evidence that the article is not notable, I also provided examples of previously reviewed articles of even smaller companies of the same industry. Finally, they restored the article as a draft, and then I made more improvements to guarantee no promotional tone or unnecessary content, I hope you take a look and review it. عليّ سعيد (talk) 19:40, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for suggesting where to add some more resources. I've addressed this and the resources are already added. Considering the issue with articles, there's not a single article ("I"; "we", "you") used, so probably this one was added by mistake. But still, I edited a few sentences to make them sound as neutral as possible. So, I believe I've addressed all the concerns regarding the article. So, if you agree, can you please remove my article from drafts back to published articles? Meli.roden (talk) 11:30, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Thanks to your comment I did notice the confusion that might appear, so I've added a category, so it's clear that the article is about soft, not a company. I would be happy if you could elaborate on your comments. As I plan to contribute as much as I can to the Wikipedia community, would be great to hear some thoughts from more experienced users. What exactly, do you think sounds promotional? As I believe if I talk about software, I should tell what it does, and who are the main customers. What do you believe is important when talking about software? I compared some other software pages like (GitHub, GitLab, Asana) that I know of, which sounded similar. Also, do you believe that 15 resources for such a small article as this one is not enough? Meli.roden (talk) 13:18, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi. And @Chiswick Chap: co-nom. I was considering your nomination of jellyfish to do my first review of a GA, though I've never done much more than contribute content to articles others took to a status review (currently, a parrot I'm researching). I'll pick another in the backlog if you prefer an experienced reviewer, or you can watch me learn on the job. cygnis insignis 05:11, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
Similar articles to this page have passed review with only minor changes, yet I cannot focus on the content when its displacement become more apparent to me. Proposals and solutions to the scope of the page would only disrupt this review, and I was wrong to think I could look past that when it resolves many minor problems with largely unproblematic content. However, I am still willing to try, but the process would be smoother if the reviewer has passed or edited articles of this type. Could be COI that is troubling me, I have invested time in opposing the use of Template:Paraphyletic group and other workarounds that hasn't bothered any editor of the article so far. Didn't think this would be a problem, and I would just look past that to the content, so sorry for the distraction and complication. — cygnis insignis 10:12, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Now here is the big problem we are having in Zimbabwe, awards mentioned are actually big here but their digital side of things is very terrible. They dont issue press statements consistantly after ceremonies and sometimes they dont even update their websites so it makes it hard to reference or to prove that the awards are as big for example Megafest Business Awards and Zimbabwe Business Awards. How can i tackle this challange?
Also kindly have a review of Mono Mukundu

Hello Cwmhiraeth,
I am not a paid editor. I simply try to improve Wikipedia in my free time. I myself have an unrelated job as a systems analyst. My account is also not single purpose. I have made edits to many WWE superstars' (which is one of my interests) articles as well.
Recently, I have tried to start adding articles for notable nonprofit organizations in my area (Arizona) that do not have Wikipedia pages. The next article I am working on is for the Womens Economic Institute, also in Arizona.
Please do not delete the article I created. I did not get compensated for that in any way. I am simply trying to improve Wikipedia by helping it keep up with the times and adding newly started nonprofit organizations in my area.

Hello Cwmhiraeth, neither Unambiguous advertising /promotion I am not a paid editor. If you've suggestions to improve the page i am open to correct. I think there's an error of appreciation because Global Africa Art Market report is publicly known. And i don't see the advertising side of the page. Yes the annual report is "the first of its kind in the history of modern Africa"there's no doubt on it. I suggest to make your own research. Speaking/reading about modern and contemporary african art market is a crucial matter.

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best editor win!

Your note mentions that the content was promotional, however such a claim suggests that any informational Wiki page regarding a person is promotional. All information provided on that page is factual and supported by outside sources such as articles on IMDb, Variety, etc. You will also see that Ms. Shapiro Jackson's name appears on various other Wikipedia pages. There is nothing promotional about the content on the Shauna Shapiro Jackson page. If you believe that certain information was in fact promotional, can you please specify that language? Nonetheless, please restore the page because its deletion was unwarranted.
Please note that your message suggests I was paid to post the content on the page, however that is not true.
Thank you for your commitment to the Wikipedia community, and I look forward to the page's restoration.
Hi, You recently flagged a page for BCN Drone center for speedy deletion. My business has a page in Catalan already existing in Wikipedia.

Hi, I just saw your note about Disruptive_Technologies_Research_AS and was hoping you could provide some feedback about where the problem lies. I used Mizzen+Main as a sample article that has been live for over 3 years to guide the types of information I included on the page, focusing on the large amount of notoriety the company has among prominent news sources, industry organizations and other well-known corporations within that industry as well as the patented technology that explains why they have received that notoriety (including citations from the internationally-recognized IEEE to validate that the technical claims are truly noteworthy) and refrained from any sort of product promotion or advertising language throughout. I would very much like to see this page meet the same community guidelines that the Mizzen+Main page adheres to and would happy to make any changes to accomplish that. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bredfiel1 (talk • contribs) 14:35, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello again, I've been trying to read-up on speedy deletion and I'm not entirely sure it's the appropriate tag for the Disruptive_Technologies_Research_AS page.
I just went to review the guidelines and specifically item G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion which reads, "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION. If a subject is notable and the content could plausibly be replaced with text written from a neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion. Note: Any article that describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion."
I also reviewed the "Field Guide for Speedy Deletion" which clearly defines what is blatant spam:
"--Blatant spam is unquestionable, unsalvageable marketing or promotion. It may only use marketing or self-promotional language, it may use the first person a lot, it may provide phone numbers or names of salespeople, it may even have requests that no one else edit the page without the consent of the firm behind it. Everyone agrees that these are articles that do not belong here."
And what is not: "--Blatant spam is not articles with a questionable tone ("Computer Solutions, Inc is a leader in providing technology solutions to consumers in the United States. Formed in 1994, it is a Forbes top pick..."), or articles about companies that are not promotional in nature"
As the article only reports factual information with citations I would think it would fall closer in-line with the criteria for "articles with a questionable tone" (which I have tried to address in my initial creation and am 100% open to further refinement as fit). My question would be what aspect of the article leads you to see it as "unsalvageable marketing or promotion" "that would need to be fundamentally rewritten"?
I'm going to add the above to the article's talk page as well. Perhaps that would be the more appropriate place to discuss. I don't mean to spam to your personal talk page. Regardless of where, I do look forward to your reply so I can make the needed changes.Bredfiel1 (talk) 16:01, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello Cwmhiraeth, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

Hello, I Checked my notifications dating back 2 years ago. You were the admin that reviewed two of my articles Gone Thursday and John Elvis they been up through out these years with sources. Just a couple of days ago someone deleted Gone Thursday and another article that has also been here for 2 years, the page John Elvis is also about to be deleted by the same Wikipedia user. I’m not sure why the user is doing this and I can tell and assure that it is not in a professional way that was intended is there a way we can get the articles back and add more sources.

Hello,
You tagged the Kile Smith page for COI, advert, fan site, and overly detailed. I wanted to ask you what you feel should be either removed or edited in order to remove these tags? Kile Smith is an acquaintance of mine, which is how I obtained a good deal of the information cited, but I am not sure which information you would like to see updated. I certainly want to stay within Wikipedia's guidelines, so your assistance would be most helpful.

Hi! Thanks for your copyvio vigilance at Forsaken (2018 film)! I've spent a bit of time looking at it, and I just can't establish with any certainty who had the content first.

Its highly discouraging for the new contributors if admins keep deleting their content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalra.avneet (talk • contribs) 05:01, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
I work for Dalmia Group which is into cement manufacturing and not this company. I can send you an email from my official email id to prove that i work for Dalmia and not Clove. I just don't want the content I have spent so much time to gather to be deleted. I have been writing to different moderators since last 3 days but nothing is happening. It has become my sole mission to save this page just bcoz I have spent my time to learn the templates and all but all my hard work. Will be gone just bcoz a moderator thinks that I am related to the company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalra.avneet (talk • contribs) 05:01, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
This company is notable. It's the largest dental chain not only in India but Sub Continent. I have added so many references from top news sources in India. If this is all about the notability of a company why were you trying to find my relationship with the company. Now when you have failed to provide any evidence pointing to me being related to this company you changed your argument. Go ahead delete it if it gives you some satisfaction and boosts your digital ego because I have done everything to save the content I spent so much time to create. Just go ahead the delete the page but do remember that you have failed miserably to prove that I am related to this company. Just delete this page now.Kalra.avneet (talk • contribs)

Hello,
I hadn't logged into my account for a while. I saw your suggestions regarding the contribution page I created regarding Bronte Macaulay. Thank you for your comments.
However, I'm still unclear of the edits were made by you or someone else? Or am I still responsible in making the edits.
And when and if this item can be taken off the page? "This article or section contains close paraphrasing of a non-free copyrighted source, https://surfergirls.com/bronte-macaulay/. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. Ideas in this article should be expressed in an original manner. (September 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)"
I'm still fairly new in making the contribution so I appreciate any help you can give me as the editing advice wasn't clear to me.

Hi! Thanks for your copyvio vigilance on Mary-anne Scott. Yes i am a new Wikipedia editor, thanks for your advice and suggestions. I have done some more work on this page just now and I think it is improved. However it occurs to me that some of the lines coming up as showing infringement can't be changed, eg the bibliography is a list of books that customarily appear in that order (title, publisher, date of publication) and also the names of awards (sometimes quite long names) are fixed and can't be altered. Does that sound OK? thanks again --Pippipip (talk) 00:14, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

...ignore WP policies, and add unsourced material to articles, including to their ledes? I respect your great dedication, your passion for biology, and your facility with language, but this cannot elevate to encyclopedic articles that demand we trust undeclared editors, for their personal expertise—which is what we do when we do not draw materials from stated sources. The WP way is not "just trust us," but rather, "here is the source of the erudition that is presented." 2601:246:CA80:3CB5:4CE9:701A:E5B8:D10C (talk) 04:10, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello Cwmhiraeth, thank you for reverting the recent changes by IP user 42.101.65.133 and 42.101.65.134.

And a new IP address (42.101.65.132) is continuing these types of unexplained edits. After a bit of research into Opisthokont, I suspect that these changes are all valid but it is harder to tell without a source provided. Loopy30 (talk) 15:22, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
Greetings, Cwmhiraeth. I see the tag you placed on the article page. All the information there came from the three sources cited. What seems to be uncited in the article? Or is it that I should include cites in more places in the article to show the sources? I've been writing articles for rivers of bucks county and place names, I discovered only a couple out of over 300 Game Lands had articles and decided to try to add all the rest. What ever I need to do to improve the cites of this article, I'll need to do for the others I've put up. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,Are1718 (talk) 03:58, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello Cwmhiraeth,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

@Cwmhiraeth: hello Cwmhiraeth, thank you for reviewing Gibson Dokyi Ampaw. Concerning the date of death, all efforts to find information about the exact date of his death have proven futile. This article: <ref>"[1] however seems to suggest that he died in the early 2000s. Can I use the "early 2000s" for the date of death for the mean time until the exact date is found? Thank you.

Hello and Happy New Year!
Welcome to the 2019 WikiCup, the competition begins today. If you have already joined, your submission page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and we will set up your submissions page. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work during 2019, and which you have nominated this year, is eligible for points in the competition, the judges will be checking! Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck! The judges for the WikiCup are Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email), Godot13 (talk · contribs · email), Vanamonde93 (talk · contribs · email) and Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email).
