Updated Jason Pickleman page

I wanted to let you know that I updated the draft page for Jason Pickleman with new citations and made the following clearer to establish notability:

Pickleman received awards from the The Society of Typographic Arts, the James Beard Foundation, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, and others.

He received features from Atlas Obscura, Chicago magazine, Chicago Gallery News, Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune, DNAinfo Chicago, Hyperallergic, Newcity, the New York Times, and Time Out Chicago.

And has work included in significant collections such as the Art Institute of Chicago, Columbia College Chicago, and theNate.

Thanks for your work! Archndesign (talk) 02:37, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Please do not revert maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Maria-Ana Tupan. If you violate the revert rule, you break the wikipedia rules. Any user without a conflict of interest may remove a maintenance template if the issue has been resolved by someone else. You can ask an administrator about this aspect.

The issue has NOT been resolved, you have a conflict of interest and should use the talk page to suggest edits. Theroadislong (talk) 06:51, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Theroadislong, I think you meant to reply to a different user. I have not made any edits to a page related to Maria-Ana Tupan. Thanks again for your work on Wikipedia. Archndesign (talk) 21:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

I don't know what edit of mine you are referring to sorry? Theroadislong (talk) 21:47, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Archndesign Oh I see now [1] the edit was made by a user who is now blocked it had nothing to do with you. Theroadislong (talk) 21:52, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Understood. Archndesign (talk) 22:20, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey look here

Draft:Sajad Hussain Malik (Volleyball) is ready for article, please check if there is any mistake Kamarrrr (talk) 05:59, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Sorry I avoid reviewing drafts about sports people, the relevant criteria can be found at WP:NSPORTS. Theroadislong (talk) 07:32, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi!

Hey there! Reaching out because you rejected my draft a while back and then made a a comment on it last month about the sourcing. Since then I reviewed all of the sourcing very thoroughly, made necessary edits, and took out the IMDB source completely. It's been several months since re-submission, are you able to take a look? Maybe even feedback so that it goes through for sure next time around. Livvin1 (talk) 20:11, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Regarding Pure Imagination Studios Article

Hi there! You said that the article was "blatant promotion" and I would like some advice on how to write an article that does not fall under the qualifications of "blatant promotion" if that is possible. Testinganaccount1 and I are just interns working on this project and we would really appreciate advice on how to build this article in a fair and balanced way. Phoenix219 (talk) 21:43, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

You are being paid to edit, I suggest you spend a few months editing here, to learn how Wikipedia works, you will get little help from volunteers. Theroadislong (talk) 21:45, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

re: Phillip Jeong article

I left a message on Phillip Jeong article as follows;

The article has a Notability tag now. I saw some fierce discussions on similar issues in other articles. He has three albums with Universal Music (Decca): a participation album, Feel in Duo album, and a full album as Miraclass. I was going to write a separate article for Miraclass and therefore excluded Jeong's work with the group from his own article. Would elaborating on his group activities help address the notability issue? The crossover market in Korea is substantial, and many singers from the TV program Phantom Singer are recruited as musical actors in Korea. The stage musical market size is comparable to the so-called K-pop market, at about 25% of that of Broadway. Two of the Miraclass members are prominent figures in the Korean musical market. While these points may not directly prove his notability, consider that he has three Decca albums and performs in Hong Kong, which is outside Korea.

Please let me know what to do. Rosuacamus (talk) 12:32, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

The article Phillip Jeong doesn't mention Decca records are his own records released on this label? The article is so poorly written and stuffed full of irrelevant tables it is hard to establish notability. Theroadislong (talk) 12:48, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

I included three Universal Music (Decca) albums.

1. Participation album: https://library.cedarparktexas.gov/Hoopla/12378801
2. Feel in Duo single: https://music.apple.com/kr/album/feelin/1457825078
3. Feel in Duo album: https://music.apple.com/kr/album/feelin/1457825078

I left out the Miraclass album in the article

1. Miraclass album: https://music.apple.com/kr/album/romantica/1438366360

If you think these are enough to address the notability issue, I will clean up the content of the article. Rosuacamus (talk) 13:17, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Can you help in protecting a page

Hi, I noticed that you have done some really good work on keeping paid promotion (potentially disruptive) editors on the Piece by Piece (2024 film) page from blatantly promoting the company which they are interning for. Thank you for this. Something similar is happening with The Lego Movie (franchise) page, where an IP editor is claiming (numerous times) that the franchise which Warner Bros. Pictures separately owns is the same as Universal's upcoming movie biopic which we've been editing, and a (planned) one. Sources indicate that this is not the case and that Universal is using its own characters for the planned film, and that Piece by Piece does not exist in the same continuity as the franchise.

Can you help in having The Lego Movie (franchise) protected for now? Thank you for your work on this subject as a whole. I hope we get to interact on Wikipedia much more! With much love, BarntToust (talk) 17:38, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Anaxam, Martino Poggio, Swiss Nanoscience Institute

Hello @Theroadislong, I noticed that you have marked my above-mentioned works as too promotional and deleted some passages. Probably not least because they are paid entries, which I have declared on my user page. I have tried to use sober, factual language in the articles, to provide sufficient sources (although some facts cannot be found in independent sources, but only in the business report or on the website of the described institution itself) and, at least for the entries on Martino Poggio and Swiss Nanoscience Institute, to use the “articles for creation” process (which I was not yet familiar with for Anaxam) to ensure that the entries meet the requirements. In the case of the Anaxam article, I had just discussed it a few days earlier with another admin who had flagged the article and confirmed to me that, on closer inspection, it was OK after all. I will be able to provide some further independent sources, as this deficit was critiziced on the German entry as well and I was able to find some more appropriate sources. What else can I do to meet your requirements? Or is that not possible as a paid user? --J. Berndorff (talk) 12:40, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

There is a mop reserved in your name

You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already!

Hi, Its me Alragon. I want to say that yes you made a mistake i was going to cite it and according to my information that information is 100% correct. Because I live here, furthermore there are citations that are in other language to i am trying to translate it too. Alragon1 (talk) 08:05, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Then please add the relevant citations rather than edit warring. Theroadislong (talk) 08:07, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

did it I added an article there are various articles for that exact same thing.

HI, can you tell me what is Wikipedia commons as i got a notification but i am not able to open it? Alragon1 (talk) 08:48, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

@Alragon1 Hi there. You mean Wikimedia Commons, it is actually a repository of media files that can be used on all Wikimedia projects. You might want to read Wikimedia Commons for more information. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:03, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Revised page for artist Bonnie Rychlak

Hello @Theroadislong I very much appreciate your thoughtful input to my article on the artist Bonnie Rychlak. I have spent a significant amount of time doing further research and addressing your concerns. I either eliminated the texts that you identified as problematic as original research or included the full citation from the original source. I added a number of sources that underscore the subject's notability both as an artist and as a curator/author. I would appreciate it if you would take another look and let me know if my revisions have successfully met the terms for publication. Also, would it be possible to remove the comments at the top of the draft that have been resolved? I know there is a concerted effort to increase the representation of female artists on Wikipedia, and I sincerely hope to continue doing so as I encounter the work of artists like Bonnie Rychlak who I believe merit a place on this platform. Thank you! Gaw54 (talk) 17:09, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

There is still a lot of inappropriate tone (ie. she has advanced the use of wax in sculpture to new levels of appreciation) and too many quotes, but I will leave it for another reviewer, the comments are removed after acceptance not before. Theroadislong (talk) 17:20, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Your resistance to seeing the notability of this subject is baffling to me. Bonnie Rychlak's significance as both an artist AND a scholar is reflected on the most basic level in the fact that she appears in several other Wikipedia pages (see what links here). Doesn't the fact that she is one of the most preeminent scholars on Isamu Noguchi--a major artist of the 20th century--in and of itself put to rest the question of notability?

As an art historian, I have long appreciated Rychlak's scholarship on Noguchi and drawn on it more than once in my own teaching and research. I was subsequently introduced to her work as an artist in a collaborative exhibition she mounted with another artist, Jeanne Silverthorne. While Silverthorne has established a more visible artistic career, Rychlak's own artistic practice and reputation is on par with her colleague. Indeed, the fact that an entire exhibition catalogue exists dedicated to the two artists written by Terrie Sultan, a significant curator and scholar of contemporary art as recognized on Wikipedia, would unquestionably establish her notability to anyone with an awareness of the landscape of contemporary art in the U.S.

I could go on. But I hope you get my drift. Rather than standing on shaky ground questioning the notability of someone in a field in which you are clearly not qualified to judge, I think it would be far more productive if you could provide specific and constructive editorial advice. Calling sources "trivial" is insulting. Do you have any awareness of the reputation of some of the critics who have taken note of Rychlak's work? Perhaps you should Google some of them. Or simply accept the assessment of another reviewer who found the article of value and move on.

I thought the idea here was to encourage rather than discourage new contributors to Wikipedia. At this point, I have little appetite to further contribute my professional knowledge to a forum where I am beaten down at every turn and where my own professional assessment is questioned. Gaw54 (talk) 03:26, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Gaw54 Apologies I thought the notability hinged on the importance of the work in public collections and these were not linked, I have linked two, another has no source. I have removed the tag. Theroadislong (talk) 07:02, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Gaw54 (talk) 11:28, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Maharvi Page

Already added citations please don't undo it.. Alragon1 (talk) 14:25, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

I'm afraid that your style of writing is not suitable in places for an encyclopaedia, “He was the individual who had the esteemed privilege of being the first to receive the honor of pledging allegiance to Shah Fakhar-u-Din” and “To his followers he was venerated by the honorific title 'Qibla Alam', signifying an elevated spiritual status within the Islamic mystical tradition” and “Maulana Fakhruddin's remarkable benevolence deeply moved him” is NOT neutral tone. Theroadislong (talk) 14:37, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

ok you want me to make this article nuetral right? I'll make sure to do it. Alragon1 (talk) 14:40, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Did anyone objected? Do you know him? Alragon1 (talk) 14:41, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

I didn't write that article that i cited. Alragon1 (talk) 14:41, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

I never said tht you did, ALL content should be written in your own words though referring to the source but NOT copying it. Theroadislong (talk) 14:45, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

ok boss got it. Alragon1 (talk) 14:46, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Each time I try to insert the proper citation, the cite inserts a different one. which has nothing to do with my text. Here is the one I want to insert:SSC-MS-00282, Sophia Smith Collection, Mary Conway Kohler, Biographical Note, Smith College, Northampton, MA: See full Biographical Note.

Review the article's sources

Hello, can you review the sources of this article and confirm whether it is accepted or rejected Draft:Mohamed Aarab DRsabire (talk) 12:24, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

He doesn't appear to pass WP:NSINGER but as I can't read Arabic I will leave it for another reviewer. Theroadislong (talk) 12:28, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

I have been waiting for more than 15 days. I think it is a long time, and everyone ignores it. This is how I see it DRsabire (talk) 12:32, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Ok I have reviewed it... he totally fails the criteria at WP:NMUSICIAN so I have declined it. Theroadislong (talk) 12:36, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

I think that reputable sources that talk about his artistic works have been added, and some of them have also been added. Where is the problem? DRsabire (talk) 12:40, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Take a look from another perspective DRsabire (talk) 12:41, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

You are free to re-submit, I will not review again. Theroadislong (talk) 12:44, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

I have resubmitted. Thank you for the initial comment DRsabire (talk) 12:46, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Moving the draft:Javad Nazari Shekarchi to the main page

With regards to your service, dear friend, I created a page about the Iranian actor and composer Mr. Javad Nazari Shekarchi with the title Javad Nazari Shekarchi, which was transferred by your Excellency to the draft:Javad Nazari Shekarchi I have fixed a lot and added other reliable sources such as library and news sources and now this page has more than 110 reliable and live sources, so please transfer it to the main page, thank you very much ناتاشام (talk) 09:08, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

You need to submit your draft Draft:Javad Nazari Shekarchi for review but be aware of WP:CITEBOMBING a LARGE number of your sources are absolutely NOT reliable or independent, such as Google search, IMDB, factburger.com, Spotify, www.wikidata.org, Peliplat, Binged, mycast etc etc etc. Theroadislong (talk) 09:34, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Very well, I have nothing more to say, and I will neither edit nor give sources, when out of the 116 available sources, according to your word, all of them are of poor quality, so I will not take your time, nor tire myself unnecessarily, I will only serve you one issue. I would like to say that in many articles in Wikipedia, the same sources that are of poor quality are cited in your opinion, I don't know why the same high-quality sources are introduced at that time, but in the article I wrote, they are introduced as low-quality, in any case, I am very, very sorry. I want to take your precious time, you can delete the article in question or do as you see fit. Good luck and God bless you.ناتاشام (talk) 11:25, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

See other stuff exists, you need to submit the draft for review or it will just be deleted after 6 months. I am not an admin I cannot delete anything. An article should only require 3 high quality sources to be accepted, but if you are not willing to share them I can do nothing else for you. Theroadislong (talk) 11:45, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

That they exist, you can confirm, and if necessary, the rest of the sources can be removed. Tanksناتاشام (talk) 23:03, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello again, dear friend, I deleted many resources, there were about 28 resources left, which in my opinion were necessary, please take a look once more, so that if the problem has been fixed, I will send it again for evaluation, thank you very much. ناتاشام (talk) 00:19, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Oh my God, I looked now and saw that I didn't pay attention to the template and deleted one of your comments in the article When I was deleting the sources, this happened. Unfortunately, I apologize.ناتاشام (talk) 00:34, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Treblinka labor camp

(Courtesy ping @Oliwiasocz) I've noticed your decline there. I think you might have been confused - while Treblinka extermination camp is much more famous, that article seems to concern a different entity, which has separate articles on pl and de wiki (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15106709). See also Draft:Treblinka labor camp#Name (read about Treblinka I). And in the extermination camp article, search for "Treblinka I" - it is even explained in the lead (the extermination camp is Treblinka II and it explains how it is different from Treblinka I: " Treblinka I was a forced-labour camp (Arbeitslager) ... The second camp, Treblinka II, was an extermination camp (Vernichtungslager)"). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:04, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
