Hello, TJRC! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 20:17, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AngusWOOF:, is the issue for you that there are portions of the article that are not sourced (which could be cured by deleting those statements); or do you think it does not meet notability standards? It now has several sources, only one of which (Billboard) is to the song rather than the album, and appears to meet WP:NALBUM criterion #1.

This is not actually not my article, I just edited it in the spirit of WP:RESCUE to cure the deficiencies that moved it to draft space; but if there are specific things you can point to to get it in shape for publication I'll do it; otherwise will let it drop. TJRC (talk) 21:05, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TJRC, it doesn't seem to meet notability standards for albums, but perhaps a more thorough critical reception section with GNG reviews might show otherwise. It hasn't charted, so it would probably be a redirect to the artist. The "Gold" song already has its own article. There's no charting in the most common places (Billboard, ARIA, Official Charts) AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 21:40, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TJRC, it looks like it was gold certified in Music Canada, so if you can add that to the article and indicate that in the lead, that should help notability. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 21:44, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. By the way, I wasn't referring to the charting (I'd already checked and seen that it hadn't charted at least on Billboard), which is WP:NALBUM criterion #2; I was referring to criterion #1, subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works. TJRC (talk) 22:10, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't know. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. There are too many things to learn and too much content to get through regarding WP:MOS it can be overwhelming. This is especially true for someone like myself with a learning disability in reading comprehension. I appreciate your patience and fairness regarding my attempted good faith edits. Kimdorris (talk) 00:04, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kimdorris: Don't give it another thought. I've been editing here for more than a decade and still find new aspects now and then. And that's such a little one, too. Enjoy your editing! TJRC (talk) 03:41, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to quibble with your reversion/correction of me a bit. As it now stands, the sentence implies that each orbit was 48 minutes long and he was out of radio contact for the entirety of that time:

"During the 48 minutes of each orbit, he was out of radio contact with Earth; the feeling he reported was not loneliness, but rather 'awareness, anticipation, satisfaction, confidence, almost exultation'."

That's not correct. He was only out of contact during a specific part of the orbit - while he was on the opposite side of the Moon from Earth. It's that specific period of time the second part is referring to, which is why I read it as a dependent clause followed by an independent one (and therefore think the semicolon is inappropriate). Wikignome Wintergreen^talk 21:46, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I just found the corresponding sentence in the Apollo 11 article, which shows what I mean (and is a bit more fleshed out):

"In the 48 minutes of each orbit when he was out of radio contact with the Earth while Columbia passed round the far side of the Moon, the feeling he reported was not fear or loneliness, but rather 'awareness, anticipation, satisfaction, confidence, almost exultation'." Wikignome Wintergreen^talk 22:02, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good quibble, and your subsequent edit makes it even better. TJRC (talk) 22:39, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Embarcadero Technologies, you may be blocked from editing. Template:Z188 —Locke Cole • t • c 22:05, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am not vandalizing; I restored a tag that you have four times removed, once after being warned, in clear violation of WP:3RR. TJRC (talk) 22:14, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

3RR does not apply to vandalism. You are adding a tag and violating the instructions associated with that tag (see talk page at Embarcadero Technologies (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)). Stop disrupting Wikipedia. —Locke Cole • t • c 22:15, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:VANDNOT. TJRC (talk) 22:23, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And which one do you think excuses repeatedly adding a tag that requires disclosing what you think needs attention? Especially as you appear to have no actual knowledge of what the issue actually is... —Locke Cole • t • c 22:31, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I'm accused of vandalism? This is the 10th time I'm been called that, even on a Wiki Fandom account! ArtemisBeast (talk) 07:20, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have no knowledge of you being accused of vandalism; nor of any Wiki Fandom accounts. If you're referring to the comment left on your user page, the issue is that you are putting material in articles without any support from any reliable source. You probably mean well (so it's not vandalism), but it's still not a useful edit. TJRC (talk) 17:59, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello TJRC. Thank you for your message. I indeed must learn to make citations. I thought that linking to another Wikipedia page was sufficient citation. I also don't know HTML well enough to edit in that. What happened to the Visual Editor?72.223.22.7 (talk) 16:05, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have to do any HTML. The simplest (although not preferred way), particularly if it's a news article online on the Internet, is to at least include the URL to the page between the tags <ref> and </ref>. It's better to use the various {{cite}} templates, but that's just cosmetics. If you at least include the URL, someone else will likely come along and clean it up, and you've at least provided a basis to verify the information you added. Just make sure it's a reliable source like a legitimate news site; most of what's on the web is not (ironically, Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source, because anyone can edit it).

Is the visual editor no longer available? I didn't like it and never used it so I don't have any info on it. TJRC (talk) 16:30, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, TJRC. I was working through my watchlist just now and saw this edit of yours, where your edit summary used a shortcut I didn't remember ever seeing before, WP:TWWPK. So I clicked and laughed out loud. I truly haven't ever seen that essay, but it's great, and I'll probably (have occasion to) use the abbreviation myself sometime. Thanks for the laugh, and happy editing! — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 09:27, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's pretty much the same way I discovered it! TJRC (talk) 22:56, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, your PROD nomination Walter Hilgers had been removed by a third editor who forgot to inform you so do I, you may consider taking it to AfD. CommanderWaterford (talk) 18:00, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that. I put a comment on the article's talk page, inviting him to explain before taking it to AFD; so far no response. But thanks for the nudge, I'll specifically point it out on his talk page. TJRC (talk) 18:28, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you remove my info on HAL 9000? Helenmomike (talk) 03:48, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed your AfD just now and I thought you'd be interested in seeing a message I left for the user you cited, as I have noticed an issue with him being long standing, and intend to plug that hole since I suspect he won't change. --Tautomers_{(T C)} 01:30, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it seems to be a thing with him. I'm not sure what his problem is, but it sounds like he disagrees with WP:PROD in principle; or maybe (which is essentially the same thing) seems to think no article could possibly meet the requirements of PROD. Shrug. I meant to do the AFD a while ago. I still had his talk page on my watchlist from having tried to engage him in April, and your note there reminded me. (Dare I say it prodded me?) TJRC (talk) 01:41, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Please see: "Your edit on Franz Strasser was reverted: Latest revision as of 18:48, 4 July 2021 (edit) (undo) (thanked) Eric (talk | contribs)" (Reverting edit(s) by Arrivisto (talk) to rev. 1013651220 by Eric: Reverting good-faith edit; photo is not of Strasser, see commons:File_talk:Karl_Morgenschweis_prays_for_condemned_prisoner.jpg (RW 16.1)) Tags: Undo RedWarn

It seems it ISN't Strasser! Perhaps my edit on Hanging was justified? Cheers. Arrivisto (talk) 17:03, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, indeed. I've revised accordingly, much closer to what you had. Thanks! TJRC (talk) 17:12, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TJRC,

First, thank you for sending your message. The edit I made to Richard Berman's notable cases page was my attempt to link the case Gordon v. Softech International, Inc. to another article page, Docusearch. Docusearch is a subsidiary of Arcanum Investigations, Inc, which this case refers to.

If done incorrectly, please advise how to do so appropriately. ThanksWiki Arcanum (talk) 19:03, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to find a valid reliable source that supports what you added -- namely that Docusearch was a defendant named in that suit -- and provide a reference to that source.

Note that Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source. TJRC (talk) 19:16, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello TJRC:

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is currently a backlog of over 2700 articles, so start reviewing articles. We're looking forward to your help!

To clarify: I am not affiliated by the site I added and my goal was not to advertise. The previously added link to another service led me to wrongly believe that links to example services were justified here and I wanted to add another provider that I often use. Removing both links is perfectly fine, thank you for taking care of that. --David-ri93 (talk) 10:34, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I tried to use Template:Notif in my own user talk page towards you but it seems to not work. I don't know why. I am not familiar with Wiki subtleties. I was asking you to explain me the difference between the previous plot hole report and mine ? Thanks.
