If you are here just to castigated me (I know there shouldn't be "d", so it's a mistake; fix it yourself), please don't come here. Find anywhere in your talk page, then ping me for opinion. Welcome to my talk page, and ask questions as you will answer when it's thrown to you. I have no other account and have never edited for any payment whatsoever.

A month ago we talked about an article I wrote. I am a paid contributor. I'm trying to follow all the guidelines and you helped me with that. I added some part to make it more impartial, talking about criticism. This article has already been previously approved by @Qcne. Can you check and see if you can exit drafts again?

Sorry for the late reply, however, the draft has already been accepted. Also remember to sign your comments always. Cheers! Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 05:27, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article Sex, Love, Misery: New New York has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable, see Talk page

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi SafariScribe,

Hope you're well!

I appreciate your time reviewing the Wikipedia draft for Dr. Constance Scharff. I noticed that the article was declined due to concerns about notability, and I’d like to discuss these points with you.

Dr. Scharff meets Wikipedia’s notability criteria through:

• Coverage in independent, secondary sources, including three books featuring her work.
• Articles in Forbes and Psychology Today (with 39+ articles published).
• A prestigious humanitarian award (Sol Feinstone Award, St. Lawrence University, 2019).
• A national TV interview (CBS-affiliate KOIN 6 News, 2021).

I’d appreciate your guidance on how we can strengthen the submission and meet Wikipedia’s standards.

Draft link:

Draft:Constance Scharff (mental health researcher)

Thank you!

Lisa Courtnadge Lisacourtnadge (talk) 06:01, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Lisacourtnadge, how are you? First, I want you to declare per WP:COI, your connection with the doctor. Aside that, there may be less help coming. Cheers! Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 08:40, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SafariScribe, I'm well, I hope you are too!

I have worked with Dr. Scharff for years now. I think she really deserves a wiki page for her contributions to the field.

I understand the importance of maintaining neutrality, so I want to be fully transparent about my professional connection with her.

That said, I believe the draft demonstrates that she meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines through independent sources, books, media coverage, prestigious awards, and numerous articles in reputable publications.

I want to make sure the article aligns with Wikipedia's standards. If there are specific areas where I could improve sourcing or structure to better meet the criteria, I’d really appreciate your guidance.

Thanks so much for your time!

Lisa Courtnadge 102.223.104.244 (talk) 16:32, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SafariScribe,

I hope you're well.

I wanted to follow up about Dr. Scharff's case - did you see my previous message?

Thanks so much! 165.0.87.162 (talk) 10:17, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Begin to remove the YouTube links in the draft. YouTube is generally a unreliable source. See WP:RS. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 05:34, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Thanks so much, I’ll do that. What other edits can I make?

Thank you! 41.222.181.79 (talk) 12:28, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you rejected the draft about eight months ago, and recently began reviewing it again. Let me note that – in line with Ktkvtsh's subsequent observation (diff) – most of the sources in the article were arbitrarily copied from the page Bardylis. For example, Mann (1977) and Crăciun (2023) are linguistic sources that don't include a single mention of an invasion. Furthermore, at least for the invasion of 360 BC, we already have Battle of Upper Macedon (360 BC) in the mainspace. Lastly, Drmapspetrova, who began the draft and submitted it for review, was indefinitely blocked as a sockpuppet of Fielli about a month ago. – Demetrios1993 (talk) 12:07, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please link the draft. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 08:41, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The draft can be found here, but you can also visit the page by pressing the aforementioned diff. In any case, you already declined the second submission on 24 March 2025 (diff). – Demetrios1993 (talk) 16:18, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am still confused. Please go straight to the point. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 05:59, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear SafariScribe

I am utterly baffled after the second rejection of this draft

Draft:WePlanet

as an article for creation. I did everything that the previous reviewers asked for

I fail to understand how I could find more references from secondary sources than there already are to this draft : there are SIX references from the Guardian, one from the WSJ and one from the Observer, two from The Star from Kenya, one from the conversation. These references are not only tangentially related to the subject of the article , in fact the first two are exclusively about it. The only references from sources which would not be considered real secondary sources (like GMwatch and references to WePlanet own website) have been added following requests from previous reviewers!!

And again, how can one consider that a world-renowned media like The Guardian, with more than two centuries of existence as a newspaper, would not be independent from an upstart NGO??

Steyncham (talk) 14:48, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Steyncham, reliable sources could also publish paid or promotional articles. Nevertheless, the sources wwere at first dubious, but reviewing again, I found no reason to decline it even when there are many promotional words. Please read WP:WTW. Good luck. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 17:12, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

many thanks for your fast reply and acceptation!

I am still a bit surprised that you added the "promotional" tag, because this had already a remark by a previous reviewer, and I took pains to remove content that might have appeared as promotional

Which are the sentences that still appear to you as being too promotional in tone  ? Steyncham (talk) 18:38, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Steyncham, sorry for the pain, I will later take time to remove the promotional languages in the article. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 08:42, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 06:12, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why did You reject the article by mountaineer Anton Hetz? It is supposed to be relevant to Wikipedia, and you mentioned that it is contrary to Wikipedia. Could you specify how it is, or at least give a more solid argument for what you mentioned to reject it? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Anton_Hetz_(1830%E2%80%931900),_Austrian_mountain_guide_and_alpinist Countet (talk) 20:11, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:WWIN. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 21:00, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In other cases, similar articles have been written and there has not been any problem. If this is not the case, then with some yes and with others no.

There have been articles in other languages ​​and they have been transferred to the English wiki without any problem Countet (talk) 21:06, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've been editing the article a little more. I look forward to your comment. Countet (talk) 13:43, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Countet, your draft may likely meet notability but not in such state. I found only one source listed in a German National Dictionary and that isn't enough. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 08:45, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SafariScribe mentions 4 sites in the sources, so they are not enough or are not the ones required by Wikipedia. If it is implemented with only one source, is it possible? While more are found, Countet (talk) 14:11, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

will it be implemented or will it remain in the draft? Countet (talk) 13:06, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Potatek (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Coat of arms of Pula ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello! You recently denied my AfC submission for non-reliable sources, but left no comment. Is FAME an unreliable source or?

Potatek (talk) 17:22, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The decline box bears the reviewers reason for declining the draft. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 08:47, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, you put that the sources are unreliable, but, like, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me which source exactly. Potatek (talk) 18:25, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This post concerns your rejection of disinformation research draft.

I would like to talk about how you may not be applying correctly the guidelines for notability WP:GNG . My argument is that the fact that you do not personally see the topic discussed is not the criteria in Wikipedia. The criteria is about significant coverage on reliable sources, and academic articles are reliable references as per WP:SCHOLARSHIP

The Draft:Disinformation Research has 34 reliable references, including 25 academic articles on the subject, and if you need, I can add a 20 more. Please note that disinformation is a broad topic, and thus there are several pages on Wikipedia with different angles including disinformation, disinformation attack, Russian disinformation, and even a disinformation publication list, which shows, undoubtedly, that academic research on the topic is a thing that exists and it is notable.

I will fix the draft and resubmit it, and please I kindly ask you to apply the notability criteria for academic subjects. MexFin (talk) 07:11, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MexFin, I am sorry for the late reply, I would rereview. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 10:28, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SafariScribe I really appreciate the time for reviewing the article again. I changed the draft significantly to make sure the academic field (draft:disinformation research) is sufficiently distinct from the phenomenon (disinformation, misinformation, or disinformation attack). It also harmonizes some of the references in publications about disinformation, and provides much more nuanced references with specific page numbers and CC-BY notifications when the quotes are extensive. It now has 50 references, most of which are publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals, demonstrating that the subject is notable in academic and public policy work.

I would appreciate if you take the time to review the draft again. MexFin (talk) 06:47, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The author of Draft:Chicken chop created the article Chicken Chop after you declined the draft submission, with the exact same sources (you stated that they were unreliable). Not sure what to do here. Plantman (talk) 20:43, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Plantman,

When things like that happens, we often redirect the draft to the main article, and then, nominate the article at WP:AFD. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 05:18, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should Chicken chop (main article) be nominated, then? Or do you feel that it warrants its own topic at this point? Plantman (talk) 05:51, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
