Assistance on AfC Submission
HI Theroadislong. I'm sure you are doing pretty fine. You left a message for me on my talk page related to the above draft article. On the above draft article, you said IMDB is not a reliable source. I have just fixed the issue and put a reliable source. You can go review it. Thanks.
Article Dragos Iliescu
Hello, thank you for your comment on my article Dragos Iliescu. I ammended it according to your feedback. Looking forward for your reply.
Draft: DC Comics Complete Reprint
Hello. Hopefully, this is a good place to leave a message.
The goal of the titular draft (that I hope becomes a webpage) is to help new comic fans or collectors quickly find comics to read. For instance, all Silver Age Flash comics spanned from Showcase #4- Flash #199. Having a webpage that allows readers to quickly locate comic collections that reprint all the comics within that Era would benefit. Some overlap, such as the Omnibus reprinting Showcase in black-and-white. But, the goal is to let readers know if they like a specific format, which character/team or age has a complete run. Does that clarify matters?
Hi there,
You gave some good comments on the draft of the TradeTech page before (including some valuable pointers on "solutions"). I have since amended the page. Would it be I impossible to spare a few minutes and give it another once-over? Apologies, appreciate you will be busy but any pointers are super helpful and very welcome.
Thanks so much and all the best.
Response to "Paid Editing"
Thank you for informing. I just read the terms and conditions related to paid contributions/editing. According to it, i added the required details, both on the talk page of the article Draft talk:Razi Ahmed and my user page. I'll just edit the requirements on my user page, according to what you have mentioned. Please let me know if it's correct. Thank you!

Callan Method review
Hi, Thanks for your comments on the Callan Method article submission, though disappointing. Your colleagues had indicated that they felt the sources, the style and the content of the page were admissable and I now don't know where to go with this. The Callan Method is known all over the world and has been around for the last fifty years so I am not trying to present something new or offer any opinions about it. From what I can see the reviews about Callan Method are from people who use it, of which there seem to be a lot. I myself studied Spanish with Callan Method, hence my enthusiasm. Can you let me know what is unacceptable in the page? I will be happy to remove it. Robert Hercules (talk) 16:18, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
Namir El-Akabi is like Ayman Asfari he is a global business man — Preceding unsigned comment added by Namir El-Akabi CEO (talk • contribs) 12:25, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- The fact we already have an article on Ayman Asfari is irrelevant, each article is reviewed on it's own merits, your draft has zero reliable independent sources so has been rejected. Theroadislong (talk) 12:31, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
Sastha Aravind
Yes, I agree. But so far, no one has given me one valid point to prove that he is not notable. Infact, I see that few pages written in Wikipedia has his content, copy pasted. I have retained it as draft, whenever they find it notable, let them approve.it's my duty to continue to keep updating.

Scientists for Labour Wiki Page
Hi there. This is my first article, and I confess I'm struggling to understand exactly why it has been rejected. I've been asked by Scientists For Labour to create the Scientists For Labour Wiki page. I've linked the Scientists For Labour website as a source, and I've been asked by their administrator to make the page, so I'm just not sure what the problem is? Any help you could give me would be appreciated. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stefan Lamb (talk • contribs) 12:00, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- In order for an article subject to be considered notable by the Wikipedia community, we require that an article subject receive significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject their own website cannot be used to establish notability. You also need to declare your conflict of interest on your user page, per Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure you must disclose who is paying you to edit, editors who are or expect to be compensated for their contributions must disclose their employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any paid contributions.

Lester J. Brown
Thank you. I am a complete novice. I just added a reference. This was an article posted in the Journal of the Dental Association of South Africa on the death of my father, Dr. Lester J. Brown. The oration was given by a prominent Surgeon, Dr. Lionel Blum. What more do I have to do? Again thanks for your help. I just discovered what a tildes is but I'm not sure what its purpose is. Rochella Cooper November 7th 2020 a day to remember! (Rochellacooper (talk) 19:51, 7 November 2020 (UTC))
- That would be a copyright violation, all content needs to be written in your own words, referring to reliable sources. In order to demonstrate notability, you need to provide multiple references to in-depth articles written about Lester J. Brown in unrelated, independent journals, magazines, books or online. If there are no sources then we can’t have an article about them. Yes.. November 7th a memorable day indeed! Theroadislong (talk) 20:00, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Theroadislong!
I hope you are well.
I was wondering whether you could help me with my page (Draft:The Goblin Club) and get it approved. Any help or advice would be much appreciated! :)
Best wishes,
- As per the comment on the draft "Needs external news sources to show notability outside of the university" it doesn't appear to be a notable topic, no amount of editing will change that. Theroadislong (talk) 08:16, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

My edit
I did leave a reason of why I removed the sentence in the Wikipedia article One America News Network. It was completely biased. There’s no facts backing it up.

Sojourn Wallace
Hi. I am in no way shape or form being paid for editing this page. I read all the rules to ensure it was appropriate for me to do so and in turn understood it was. My only reason for writing the article about Sojourn is that she is a very well known, social activist, and in particular the grassroots refugee welfare space. Everyone knows her and when a memo was released about a skatepark being built in Lebanon after the explosion, for the first time, someone questioned why this woman didn't have a wiki page considering her age, her race, and all of her accomplishments. I work for Open Society Foundation, and formerly for the UN and know that her name is known or as you say "noteworthy". Due to Covid, I had some free time to 'try' to write the article. If the way I wrote it sounds inappropriate, I'd be happy to take pointers on how to sound more neutral. At this point, I feel even more committed to getting this right!

In regards to the article Le Touquet
Hello there! The reference you did not approve as sufficient coverage is a French newspaper, this newspaper I have listed is well known and reliable in France, please see here. It clearly mentions that Idan and Markowicz worked together to put together the Exhibition - If it shows in french on your computer please let me know and I am happy to send you a translated article.

Hello Theroadislong,
I have removed all non-reliable sources and pending your approval for one of my many submissions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Rico_Torres
I reviewed all of your submissions as well, which is why I am learning how to submit properly. I saw this one of this actress that you submitted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clare_Cathcart , the actor that I am submitting has far more references than she does and she has a profile.
I would like to know why this actor profile I submitted has not been approved yet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elenacheesee (talk • contribs) 23:22, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
- There are no "profiles" on Wikipedia, just articles which are supported by reliable sources, another reviewer will doubtless look at it soon. Theroadislong (talk) 23:26, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
Care to tell me why you're so hell-bent on removing large chunks of text from my article?
You rudely called it unsourced "puffery" and so I sourced it. You retaliated by removing even more lines from the text, for nonsensical reasons like "promotional". BetweenCupsOfTea (talk) 10:11, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is written in a dry neutral tone content like "It has been described as an outdoor classroom, a place to rediscover leisure and wellness, a calming space to unplug from the city and reconnect with nature, and above all, a meeting place for family and friends" and "one of the oldest and largest urban parks" is unsourced and promotional so I removed it.

I am an executive assistant at MEDLIFE which is a non-profit geared to helping those in the underserved communities with basic access to healthcare, sanitation and building schools. I want to begin writing about several people who I feel represent the culture of giving back to communities. I am starting with Rico Torres and then working my way across list of actors, singers and authors. I don't understand, do you not want me to write articles about people who make a difference? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elenacheesee (talk • contribs) 15:58, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has articles about notable people only. Notability of a topic is judged by looking at the depth of coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources.
Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources containing significant coverage. Some degree of regional, statewide, national, or international media coverage is also required. Most people are not suitable subjects for an encyclopedia article Theroadislong (talk) 16:01, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
I look at your submission list and all the people I am going to write about including Rico Torres has more than 15-20 references and is more of a notable figure than many of what you have submitted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elenacheesee (talk • contribs) 16:06, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Theroadislong (talk) 16:10, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
I am patient, I just really want to have a list as big as yours and I hate that because I am just beginning I get told all these things when I compare my writing and articles with others that are far worse than mine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elenacheesee (talk • contribs) 16:12, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

I do not understand what the problem here is? I am waiting to get this article approved so that I can begin working on the next article?

- I have already said that I will leave the review to another reviewer since you evidently do not value my opinion, the queue is long and it could take up to three months, but there is no urgency. Theroadislong (talk) 21:20, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
Paid Disclosure
Thanks for your reply Theroadislong. Yes, I was asked to help a scientist put up a very neutral profile on Wikipedia. And yes, I am being paid to do so as he says he is not a writer and wanted a professional to do it. He already has a profile describing his business, but wanted one put up to summarize who he is in relation to his business. Be happy to send you the details as to who he is on a private line if possible. I guess I have to read the link that was sent to me to understand how to find 10 articles to edit? I didn't know this would be so complicated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scientrep (talk • contribs) 19:14, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- Scientrep you will need to make the mandatory disclosure on your user page first, creating an article from scratch is the MOST difficult thing to do on Wikipedia, being paid to do so, will make it even more difficult, spending a few months editing other articles would give you a feel for how things work here, whilst diving straight in is likely to be unsuccessful, either way you will need to use the WP:AFC process.

I wish to create a Wikipedia site for the photographer James Fortune
Thank you for your detailed response, but I am more confused than ever. I gave up last time, nothing made any sense, but I totally believe in Wikipedia and use it all time, and I have lots to contribute. I guess I'll look over the articles and instructions, but I don't have the kind of mind that seems to understand this. I created my account under brookesaunders, do I make the James Fortune page from that? Or do I create a new account for James Fortune? I looked at all the other rock photographers out there and James Fortune is equally legendary and qualified to be there, that is beyond dispute. I can create a basic article on him, with links to Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, and the hundred other superstars he photographed. Then do I submit that and hope you guys believe in his status to be on Wikipedia? What other proof would you need about him? I don't want to do all this work to have the article rejected. Brookesaunders (talk) 23:09, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- Have you read the response to your Teahouse post? Please read "this guide written by a Wikipedia administrator named Ian.thomson to see if that's a real possibility. If it is, then perhaps you could start working on a draft for a possible article about him, and then submit it to Wikipedia:Articles for creation for review when you think it's ready. You can find some general information on how articles are actually expected to be written and how citations are to be added to articles in Help:Your first article and Help:Referencing for beginners."Creating an article from scratch is the very hardest thing to do on Wikipedia, and doubly difficult when you have a conflict of interest, I strongly suggest you leave it for others unconnected to create the article, which if he is notable will surely happen.

One big "Thank you"
I just wanted to acknowledge how much I have long appreciated your innumerable 'thanks' notifications for a range of edits I have made. It is reassuring to know that other editors think something was correctly called. Although I am not very good, myself, at leaving 'thanks' in return, I thought it was about time I dropped by to thank you for all the sterling work that you do here. Maybe this is a bit of a 'mutual admiration society' message - but I mean it. So, "thanks". Nick Moyes (talk) 19:51, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
- You are most welcome! Theroadislong (talk) 20:19, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I am vary new to making pages, I feel that I have someone here that needs to be posted to Wikipedia, in a achievement of mastery, and novels writing and publishing, called Nevaeh Saga, by Marcel Ray Duriez. Why, word count now at this time and date is passing the worlds longest, books likewise in volumes as well. Also in less then 8 years braking pending Guinness Worldly Records. I need your help, your page looks cool, and I need this to work, if if you feel the need to change to make this page happen you may do so.
A lot of the info about this writer is here https://marcel331869472.wordpress.com/

- Blogs are not reliable sources. In order for an article subject to be considered notable by the Wikipedia community, we require that an article subject receive significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. There are zero such sources in your draft. Theroadislong (talk) 11:55, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your feedback regarding sources on Oli London. I will update them now. Do they mainly need the date of the artilce and date of retrieval? such as:July 19, 2012. Retrieved November 8, 2013.
Thank you very much for your time and feedback.

Help me with page creation
Hi,
can you please help me with creating this page- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Benedict_Pinto
I was trying to create this page with valid information-
- Your article has been deleted six times and is protected from creation, so only administrators can create it, I am not an administrator so cannnot help you. Theroadislong (talk) 08:55, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
Naturopathy
I would be interested in your thoughts: a) Do you think the summary gives a clear idea of what Naturopathy is? b) Do you think it could be written better?
- It is irrelevant what my thoughts are, you were blocked for 48 hours for edit warring on your return, you immediately started edit warring again. Theroadislong (talk) 11:28, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
OK, so to be clear, you are not interested in improving this article? There is a talk page on the entry if you would like to engage in improvement, as your thoughts would be welcomed. Rmjowett (talk) 11:38, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
- The lede section of an article should summarise the content of the body, this article appears to do just that namely "Naturopathy or naturopathic medicine is a form of alternative medicine that employs an array of pseudoscientific practices branded as "natural", "non-invasive", or promoting "self-healing"." On Wikipedia we unambiguously specify when a practice is pseudoscience and adjust the weight of articles according to the mainstream and scientific views of relevant experts in the field, supported with reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 11:46, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
So we need to improve the main body and the lede then? If I were to ask you what Naturopathy is, given the information contained in this article, could you give a decent answer? Rmjowett (talk) 11:59, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
- I am happy with the article as it is, if you want changes, you will need to provide the reliable sources that support them and get consensus on the talk page.
Is the Cambridge Dictionary regarded as an unreliable source? I am trying to seek consensus on the article talk page but thus far I have had zero engagement. Rmjowett (talk) 12:12, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
- Dictionaries are not usually used as sources, more help finding sources here Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine). Theroadislong (talk) 13:43, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

- Artistsinfobooks You and a number of other editors seem to have no other interest on Wikipedia except this article, do you have a connection with Jenny Lynn (photographer) by any chance? Theroadislong (talk) 23:54, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
- I do not. I am, though, an admirer of her work. Artistsinfobooks (talk) 00:01, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
Actor Article Submission (New)
@Theroadislong
In answer to your comment (which I appreciate) as to paid content: I met the actress and her husband earlier today for the first time through a mutual friend. They have indeed offered to pay me to write an brief article for each of them. They are both accomplished artists in their fields of graphic and performing arts. Each has a website devoted to their work, and the awards and recognition they've received through the years. MeeWha Lee (the actor) is featured in the upcoming film Umma (mother in Korean), Sony Studios, Sam Raimi produced, playing Sandra Oh's mother.
I am obviously new regarding Wikimedia policies and procedures. I'm really just trying to help out in response to my friend's request. I will of course adhere to any and all policies regarding full disclosure, non-promotion et al.
I realize they may not meet certain prerequisites, but I'd like to submit an article for each and if they pass muster, so be it. If not, then we'll know.
Any article on how to how to write an article will be most appreciated: I received detailed comments from Victor Schmidt, and Nick Moyes, so I've got much to learn and digest before proceeding.
Sincerely,
Hugh G McCormack — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hugh G McCormack (talk • contribs) 19:14, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
- Creating an article from scratch is the MOST difficult task here. Notability of a topic is judged by looking at the depth of coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources.
Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources containing significant coverage. Some degree of regional, statewide, national, or international media coverage is also required. Most people are not suitable subjects for an encyclopedia article. See WP:YFA. Please make the mandatory paid editing declaration on your user page as requested on your talk page before you do anything else or you are likely to be blocked before you even start, paid editing whilst allowed is very seriously NOT encouraged here by volunteer editors who give their time freely.

Declined Article on Satya Narayanan
You have mentioned that Amazon and Linkedin are not reliable sources but would Amazon page linked is not a product page but rather a page on the events that they conduct. The subject has been invited as a speaker to global events due to which I mentioned the link. I will attempt to find alternates to the linked in links though. Please see if you could reconsider. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.251.188.226 (talk) 11:13, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Maier Piece
Everything is there and if you read the New York Times or Google you will address the concerns you put in the initial rejection, I believe. Let’s work together to *add* content on Wiki! Faits1789 (talk) 18:47, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
- Re Draft:Alexander Jackson Maier Wikipedia articles require there to be in-depth coverage in the sources, this [1] is NOT remotely in-depth and provides zero evidence of notability. Theroadislong (talk) 18:59, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Response to Previous Message
Hi there,
Thank you for your message. I am an intern in Washington DC for the organization and was updating some outdated information today. This is my first time using Wikipedia, so I appreciate your feedback. All of the information on the page can be verified on the website for the organization. I would also like to move the page back to its original state, rather than a draft if possible. Thank you!
Best,

- The draft Draft:Hemphill Fine Arts has zero sources and will not be moved to main space until it does. You have a conflict of interest so you should not be editing articles directly, but only making suggestions on the article talk pages. Theroadislong (talk) 21:58, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
Deleting Draft
Hi, you deleted my draft of Derrick Roper saying I am writing a CV, its not me I'm writing on, I'm another Derrick in the family. not the one in the article. please could u reconsider. Please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Derrick roper (talk • contribs) 10:22, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Longstanding page moved to draft
The Hemphill Fine Arts article was moved to draft after 10 years in mainspace. Noting the September 2020 consensus about Draftification, I think the future of the article would be better resolved using deletion discussion procedures. Can I suggest reversing the actions taken on November 20th so that an AfD on the article in mainspace can then be opened? AllyD (talk) 08:54, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- AllyD please feel free to move back to main space and take to afd. Theroadislong (talk) 09:24, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
