== On One Hundred Years of Solitude ==
Hi Vanderwaalforces :) I'm looking for experienced editors to interview [[User:Clovermoss/Editor reflections|here]]. Feel free to pass if you're not interested.

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 [[User:Nils2088|Nils2088]] ([[User talk:Nils2088|talk]]) 18:59, 29 June 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,

:@[[User:Monserrat Enriquez|Monserrat Enriquez]] Hi there, the deleting administrator is [[User:Fastily|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 [[User:Drm310|Drm310]]. [[User:Vanderwaalforces|Vanderwaalforces]] ([[User talk:Vanderwaalforces#top|talk]]) 01:35, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 
== I’ve address your concern ==
 
Hello Greetings @[[User:Vanderwaalforces|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. [[User:Madeforall1|Madeforall1]] ([[User talk:Madeforall1|talk]]) 16:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 
:@[[User:Madeforall1|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. [[User:Vanderwaalforces|Vanderwaalforces]] ([[User talk:Vanderwaalforces#top|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. [[User:Madeforall1|Madeforall1]] ([[User talk: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. [[User:Vanderwaalforces|Vanderwaalforces]] ([[User talk:Vanderwaalforces#top|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.

:::::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. [[User:Vanderwaalforces|Vanderwaalforces]] ([[User talk:Vanderwaalforces#top|talk]]) 17:12, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

<!-- Start of message -->
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

:@[[User:Shahidi Islam|Shahidi Islam]] Hi there. You’re ''strongly'' discouraged from writing about yourself on Wikipedia, this is based on our [[WP:AUTOBIO|content guide on autobiography]]. I usually take “strongly discouraged” as “do not do it” especially when you can’t do it from a [[WP:NPOV|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.

== Space Cup Denial==
Hello. You denied my page on the space cup citing a lack of sources, when these sources A) were gathered from other places on Wikipedia, B) Contained patent filings from the original inventor of the cup and his direct statements on it, and C) Were numerous and diverse.
 
Please rescind this blockage and allow my page to go live. What more could be done to remedy this? <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Gspinty1|Gspinty1]] ([[User talk:Gspinty1#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gspinty1|contribs]]) 22:15, 11 July 2024 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

::::@[[User:Gspinty1|Gspinty1]] You obviously didn't bother to find out why your draft (which was promotional and deleted by [[User:Jimfbleak|Jimfbleak]]). It wasn't just "lack of citations" but lack of citations to reliable sources, see [[WP:RS|what reliable sources are]]. The draft was also not suitable because you were trying to promote yourself? or something you have a connection to. It is clear from your username similarity. If you were trying to write about yourself, see [[WP:AUTOBIO|the guideline about writing about yourself]] because you are ''strongly discouraged'' to do so. If you were writing about something/someone you are connected to, see [[WP:COI|the conflict-of-interest policy]], which should give you extensive details on how to [[WP:COIDISCLOSE|disclose your COI]] if you have any.

Dear Sir
 
I did not create this article prior to its publishing. Even someone made a mistake on my computer about it, and I apologize. However, this article is pretty good because of the good movie. I apologize for that. I believe you could support it from your end. Is there any possibility of making it live given that all of the sources are genuine?
