User talk:Cabrils

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Draft: Alex Ely[edit]

Hi @CabrilsCabrils, you kindly reviewed and edited my article on Peter Barber Architect, which has been published. I’ve written a new one on Alex Ely Architect, would you be able to review this? I’m not making much progress as a writer on Wikipedia as I’m struggling with the coding! Thanks “21012024” @Architect encyclopedia Architect encyclopedia (talk) 16:58, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi thanks for the kind words and ping. I've posted a comment on the draft page which I hope you find helpful. Please do persevere, the page has good potential. Cabrils (talk) 22:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @CabrilsThanks for your feedback on my article. I've taken on board your comments and the piece has had input from other contributors so I believe it now addresses all feedback. Can you advise what happens next and how it gets considered for publication? Thanks Architect encyclopedia (talk) 07:22, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. That's good progress.

At this point, to move forward, as I suggested in my comment on the draft:

1. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.

2. It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:ARCHITECT criteria #3, because XXXXX").

3. If you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link).

Let me know if you have any more questions. Cabrils (talk) 00:44, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Meldrop (band)[edit]

Hello, and thank you for reviewing my submission last month. I have resubmitted the article and improved sources and less bias commentary about the band. I have also included my COI in the talk page, as well as the WP:THREE for the articles. I have also linked the criterion from the necessary sections to provide quick reference for yourself. Please let us know if this articles are satisfactory or we require more direct content written the band. Aidangoodman (talk) 20:30, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aidan, thanks for the ping.

Good work with those amendments and thank you for your COI declaration.

Unfortunately, it appears you are not quite understanding the criteria that qualify a draft page to be accepted on Wikipedia, so I would encourage you to read thoroughly all the links I included in my comment on the draft, especially ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. For example, in your COI declaration (which, incidentally, should be on your User Page, rather than the Draft Talk page), you say you are "ATTEMPTING TO BE AS UNBIAS AS POSSIBLE. I HOPE TO PRESENT AND ACCURATE AND TRUTHFUL REPRESENTATION OF OUR BAND AND ITS STORY", however lack of bias and accuracy and truthfulness are not the core criteria for a page, rather it is notability. And the sources you include are not sufficiently reliable to meet any of the standards identified in WP:GNG and WP:NBAND, which are the most relevant criteria.

Further, because you have a conflict of interest, the page is required to meet even higher standards.

In my view, a page for your band is WP:TOOSOON. I would encourage you to save the draft somewhere safe on your personal computer (because inactive draft pages expire after 3 months), and in time, as your band hopefully garners notability, add reliable sources that evidence that as they appear, at which point the draft may be worth re-submitting.

For clarity with other reviewers, I am posting this comment on the Talk page.

I wish you and the band success. Cabrils (talk) 21:20, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Rao family[edit]

A tag has been placed on Rao family requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —Alalch E. 21:41, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:A Woman Who Climbs Trees[edit]

I obviously have no connection with this topic. There is a page for Puja Kolluru, who only directed one feature film Martin Luther King (film). I was not sure if she is notable (only directed one film). Maybe she is? But I saw that she directed a documentary and tried to create a draft to see if there are enough sources (which there aren't). We can safely redirect the draft to the director's article or delete the draft.

Main thing I wanted to say is that while creating the draft I thought that Tree Foundation was a recognized website but later realized it is only specific to Margaret D. Lowman. DareshMohan (talk) 00:22, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping.

That you had no connection with the film was not "obvious" to me, so thank you for clarifying.

Perhaps its worth adding the gist of the draft to Kolluru's page, after which it may become apparent if the doco is worthy of it's own page? In any event, I stand by my review and don't see the draft currently meeting WP:NFILM. Cabrils (talk) 00:32, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024[edit]

Hello Cabrils,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
