Request for review

Hello, hope you’re doing alright? Thanks for all the good work you’re doing on Wikipedia. I was wondering if you could help me review an article I did about 2 months ago. Here: Scooby Nero. It will be very much appreciated. Mevoelo (talk) 19:26, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

@Mevoelo Hi there. I have seen that article before now for sure, and, to be honest, I’d rather send it to AfD when I have the time. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:45, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Carterson

Hello @Vanderwaalforces, I hope you're having a great day. I wanted to bring to your attention the recent discussion regarding the deletion of the Carterson article on Wikipedia Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carterson. While it only received one vote, I believe there wasn't sufficient emphasis on why it should be deleted. The subject has garnered notable press coverage from major news bodies and publications in Nigeria and Africa, which aligns with Wikipedia's guidelines. Additionally, the sources cited are verified Nigerian sources according to Wikipedia's guidelines https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Nigeria/Nigerian_sources. I highly respect your expertise and believe this matter can be resolved. Could we possibly rewrite the article and submit it for verification? Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Dahproman (talk) 11:31, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, I think what gave you confidence is because I didn’t attempt a source assessment. You clearly do not understand how to evaluate Nigerian sources and I can help you do that. Before attempting to create another draft, drop the links/sources that you’re going to use, let me help you evaluate them and tell you why I would still think the draft should be deleted. Na Nigerian wey you be naim I be too, you no go fit come whyne me. Drop your links make I do the analysis for you. Dem don warn you for COI before, you no gree disclose am, be careful make dem no block you las las. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:39, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Ah thank you sir i would be able to do that i can just send the links over and you can help me out sir my sincere apologies if i got on your nerves this dey very akward to say now but na brothers all of us be thank you for your future and past corrections and much respect sir.

Draft:Linguistic monogenesis and polygenesis

Hello @Vanderwaalforces. Thank you for your review of Draft:Linguistic monogenesis and polygenesis. I think I've solved the inline citations problem (adding inline, in-depth citations to most statements in the article). Do you think that's necessary to remove the template and for the article to be created? Pcg111 (talk) 09:31, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

@Pcg111 Hi there, you’ve done well. There’s no need to remove the template, it is needed for an AfC reviewer to get to it. So just hold, someone will get to it soon. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 10:54, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Thank you. Pcg111 (talk) 10:56, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello again @Vanderwaalforces: Sorry to bother you again. I think I've solved all the issues on Draft:Linguistic monogenesis and polygenesis (the duplication issue is commented at the draft talk). Could you please review it again?

P.D.: I don't know it it's possible, but could you, before potentially declining the creation of the article, say to me the things to improve? Thanks, Pcg111 (talk) 18:59, 5 May 2024 (UTC).

@Pcg111 I don’t want to review that draft for reason which Remsense already mentioned. When there’s an article for monogenesis and progenesis, why do we need this one? The question is more or less rhetorical, so let someone give it a review, just be patient. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:19, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Ok, thank you and sorry for bothering you. Pcg111 (talk) 19:22, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
@Pcg111 Don’t worry, you didn’t bother me. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:23, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you reviewed

Hi Vanderwaalforces. Thank you for your work on Oklo (disambiguation). Another editor, B3251, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Hey there, I appreciate your efforts to review new pages, but articles with issues such as Oklo (disambiguation) (in this case WP:PROD) should not be marked as reviewed. This is specifically per WP:NPPDEL, but I recommend checking out the general steps and things to consider when reviewing articles over at WP:NPP. Thanks,

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|B3251}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

The Strawberry Thief (novel)

Hi Vanderwaalforces, I've just tried to move an article into mainspace, but somehow I made a mistake and created a page with the wrong title. It should have been "The Strawberry Thief" (novel), but instead came up as "The Strawberry" (novel). I'm still very new to creating pages, and I can't find a way to change the title back to what it should be. I've tried undoing the page, but that doesn't work. Would you mind having a look for me, please? My mentor told me to: "ask an admin to move The Strawberry (novel) to The Strawberry Thief without a redirect," but I can't find where to do it! Your help would be much appreciated. ArthurTheGardener (talk) 15:21, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

@ArthurTheGardener Hi there. I have moved the page to The Strawberry Thief from The Strawberry (novel) without leaving a redirect. PS: You don't need an admin to do that, I page mover could. I also noticed that you created The Strawberry Thief (novel) at first and thought you made a mistake when I checked history, that's why I requested speedy deletion, but redirecting The Strawberry Thief (novel) to The Strawberry Thief would not be a bad idea now. Happy editing! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 15:32, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Thank you: I appreciate your help. ArthurTheGardener (talk) 15:35, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Subject Creation Feedback

Good day @Vanderwaalforces i wanted to create a wikipedia article on this subject he was an online sensation 2021 - 2022 and built notability from there on. here are his links i am creating this article because building an independent Notable career isnt something that can easily be done and since there is no conflict of interest between i and the subject too thats why i decided to send these links as you requested.

There are more of these, just wanted to send these so you know he has Significant press coevrage from notable Nigerian sources according to Wikipedia:WikiProject Nigeria/Nigerian sources Dahproman (talk) 06:13, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

@Dahproman Just so you know, for a source to be used, it needs to pass WP:SIGCOV, WP:INDEPENDENT, and WP:RS. If it passes WP:SIGCOV and WP:RS but does not pass WP:INDEPENDENT, it should not be used. All three needs to be passed. The first-three sources you provided above do not meet all three. The last three are PRs and cannot be used either. I have also done some searches on my own and will only urge you to forget about this subject for now and focus elsewhere. There are plenty things you can engage yourself with on here. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 07:17, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Okay sir thank you @Vanderwaalforces for your feedback much appreciated Dahproman (talk) 08:23, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Your decline of redirects

You declined a redirect request. Asking for sources for the alternate names. However, three alternate name sources had been provided. Kindly reconsider. This relates to your 16:35, 14 May 2024 refusal of the redirects for Olympic swimmer Anastasia Gorbenko. The request had been made on 17:29, 10 May 2024. The refusal struck me as unusual given they the requested for links to uses of the alternately spelled name had in fact been supplied. And in no way were the slightly different spellings of this foreign name - as you termed it - an “unlikely” term. They are both quite similar. And supported by links. 2806:261:4AD:8319:D148:52FD:29B4:A82 (talk) 06:17, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

I do not find either "Anatasia", "Anastasiya" or "Anastasiia" as alternative names for "Anastasia". These are weird and unlikely alternative names. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 07:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
These as you imagine are not imaginary concoctions. They are actual variations with the surname Gorbenko. Reflected in the links that were supplied with the request. In addition, I’m unclear what is meant when you say you “do not find” these to be other than “weird and unlikely.” Perhaps you are referring (I can’t tell) to a gut feeling rather than a fact based inquiry (beyond the links supplied in the request) In addition to the links supplied which I allude to, that comment is somewhat at odds with simple google searches. As well as simple Wikipedia searches. See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=500&offset=0&profile=default&search=%22Anatasia%22&title=Special:Search&ns0=1 I would ask that you reconsider and self revert under the circumstances. Thank you. - see for example https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Anatasia%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#ip=1 --2806:261:4AD:8319:D148:52FD:29B4:A82 (talk) 11:39, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
If you really want these redirects, kindly re-request them at the request page. I will not revert a review I made consciously. You could simply request again for another reviewer to look. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:11, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Running W/water

Hallo, Did your series of moves/edits actually end up where you intended?

At the moment:

When I saw the start of your series of moves I thought/hoped you were going to move the disambiguation page to Running Water, which seems useful: there are a bunch of places and films with the upper case "W", and it's not a very likely search term for tap water. Was that what you intended, perhaps? (Please?) PamD 18:31, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Ah, I see that @Bkonrad has intervened and things are looking better. Thanks. PamD 18:35, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
Yes, as I mentioned at my talk page, I'm not sure tap water is the best primary topic for running water, but that has been a redirect since 2005 and likely should have some discussion if there is any change. But as PamD mentions, there is no reason to force readers who intentionally type the capitalized version Running Water to go to some other article before getting to the dab page for entities that are capitalized. older ≠ wiser 18:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
@Bkonrad I believe we both have a point. But like I said below, I have no prejudice against keeping it this way. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:49, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
@PamD Hi there. Perhaps, Bkonrad has the same thoughts as me "no reason whatsoever to force readers that intentionally type the capitalized version to go to the lower case article". But on the other, what if someone who actually wants Running water, which is a redirect to Tap water, and types "Running Water"?
I have no prejudice against keeping it this way though, but just wanted to point that out. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:42, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
There is a link at the top of the dab page which will help that reader. They'll have one extra click, but many other readers will be saved a click. Thanks. PamD 18:49, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
@PamD That's right. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:50, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
