On One Hundred Years of Solitude

Hi, how are you doing? I recently submitted a revision of a draft of a show based on One Hundred Years of Solitude, but it was denied because the lack of independent sources. I politely disagree with this, only 2 of the sources of the article are official sources, the rest being independent trades. It should also be noted that, compared with American TV series, there aren't many news trades in the region. With this I hope you reconsider this, as the draft provides most of the available information of the series. That said have a nice day Nils2088 (talk) 18:59, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

@Nils2088 Hi there. It’s an upcoming show right? You might want to see WP:NFF as you didn’t state whether principal photography started or not and I am not sure of that either. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:06, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for answering late. It did begun filming in March 2023 and there's even a trailer for it. Anyway I added other secondary sources and other info, besides removing a mild copyright violation. If you can please check it out Nils2088 (talk) 23:46, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Requesting a userspace copy or email copy of the sandbox you deleted

Good Afternoon Vander,

I noticed that the sandbox I was working on was deleted a couple of hours ago. Could you please provide me with a copy? I had invested a considerable amount of time into it, and I am concerned about losing that work.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Monserrat Enriquez Monserrat Enriquez (talk) 21:39, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

@Monserrat Enriquez Hi there, the deleting administrator is Fastily but I don’t think a copy should be provided because you do not appear to understand what Wikipedia is about and the page was a highly promotional and spammy page which you had a COI on. I’d also ping Drm310. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 01:35, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

I’ve address your concern

Hello Greetings @Vanderwaalforces, I Think I’ve addressed your concern for the PROD, and I’ve done a Copyedit, but I suggest that in this, you try to contribute to article instead of just making decisions, I feel really bad how to treat my contributions, like what Safari Scribe did, he tried to improve it in his own way and it was much appreciated, I contribute for my love for Wikipedia and it feels bad which each time you make contributions, it’s not appreciated. Madeforall1 (talk) 16:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

@Madeforall1 Hi there. I must tell you that I am a big fan of anyone that tries to create an article from scratch, it is as a matter of fact not an easy thing to do. But sometimes we should be more careful when trying to write articles on subjects, we should make sure that subjects we’re writing about meets any of Wikipedia’s notability guidelines as that is the bedrock of inclusion on the encyclopedia. This is not a matter of copyedit or reworking, this is a matter of notability, that is my concern. KAA is not notable yet, it probably will in the future. Do not feel bad or down, I’m a big fan of you and sincerely want your advancements. I also very much appreciate your love for the project as it’s a good thing. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:20, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

You are a big fan of nominating all my articles, must it be only you? get my point, is my article the only once you see ? I can bet that there are many bad articles out there that have stayed long that you won’t wanna make such comments on like you always do in mine, I see them too but I’m more focused on copyedits. Madeforall1 (talk) 16:23, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

I review quite a handful of articles, it is evident from the review log. I also review articles that on subjects that I am interested in, you happen to always create article that I have interest in. Perhaps, your style of response is becoming suspicious, The way you moved the article to draft immediately I PRODed it and moved it back to mainspace without bothering on asking or reaching out (which you later did). Calm down and try hearing out why there are problems with the articles you create so that you can learn from them. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:33, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Your concern was Copyedit and I believe it’s been treated, I create articles based on the class of topics I’m interested in at the moment, I can switch my niche if I’m covered the desired topics I wish to write on, one thing I believe is we have thousands of editors and I can say not every editor can tell the notability of some articles if it’s not your niche or if the topic is not in your Geographical base. Madeforall1 (talk) 16:44, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Your statements are incomprehensible (at least, to me) and make it evident that you aren’t ready to listen and learn. I can’t recall mentioning “Copyedit” as my concern. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:12, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Request on 00:09:29, 6 July 2024 for assistance on AfC submission by Shahidi Islam

• Shahidi Islam (talk · contribs)
  • User:Shahidi Islam/sandbox (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hey Wikipedia review team,

I submitted my first article recently on a topic I know quite well: myself. To get a little understanding of Wikipedia submissions in action I searched authors I was familiar with and did similar to what they did, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Heywood and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_G._Reddie. I see very little dissimilarity between what I have submitted and what they submitted. In fact, the Andrew Heywood article is no article at all. I worked hard to put together my article. It was not a promo it was a discussion. I don't say this to criticize but to understand. Why did my article get rejected when it clearly fits into what Wikipedia puts out. I am willing to revise any offending aspects and sections but I don't think the article itself is as bad as you have made it out to be.

Please let me know how I can improve it but do look over the articles I have discussed and see that Wikipedia has articles that have less work and are less referenced than mine.

Thank you,

@Shahidi Islam Hi there. You’re strongly discouraged from writing about yourself on Wikipedia, this is based on our content guide on autobiography. I usually take “strongly discouraged” as “do not do it” especially when you can’t do it from a neutral point of view. The articles you mentioned were not created by the subjects themselves, someone independent of them must of created it. You also are not properly writing yours, I see another version at User:Shahidi Islam/sandbox. Please do not continue writing about yourself. You might just be notable from the look of things but the approach is important too, don’t write an article about something or something you have close connections with, in this case, yourself.
