Help with new article

Hello @thilio

Thank you for offering yourself as a helper for my new article. I'm new to wikipedia, and I know there are so many guidelines to follow. I've been working on this article and got it rejected a couple times and reworked it. I'm looking for some sincere help, and constructive feedback. I'm very open to make any changes needed

Here it is: Draft:Staycation (TV series)

Thank you so much. User972364 (talk) 11:15, 14 August 2025 (UTC) User972364 (talk) 11:16, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jake Silvia Racing

Hello, @Thilio

I understand there is some misunderstanding about my Jake Silvia Racing page. It is a real team, yes we are a small team but we are real. If you could provide me with feedback on how to improve my page or update me on guidelines that would be great but rest assured we are a real team from Rhode Island. Denado1 (talk) 02:15, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Denado1 Since you are directly connected to (Draft:Jake Silvia Racing) please take a look at Wikipedia’s guidance here (Conflict of Interest (COI)). It’s usually better for people with a close connection to a topic to suggest changes on the talk page rather than editing directly to help keep things neutral.

For the draft to move forward it will need (independent, reliable references) that give significant coverage of the team. Primary sources like your website or social media don’t carry much weight on Wikipedia. Please I suggest you to see referencing guide its explains how to add citations properly and what kinds of sources are best.

Improving your draft with solid third party sources will give it a better chance of being accepted when it’s eventually submitted for review. 🐍 Thilio🤖 07:18, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, what would I do if I happen to not find anything online as we are a very small team in the Northeast? Brand exposure is very important in our racing scene and this was one of the things on our list... Who would you suggest make the page and what should my next steps be? Denado1 (talk) 21:09, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Denado1 The first things that popped up when I searched for Jake Silvia Racing in search engines were Facebook, Instagram & some self-published websites like DriverDB.

As you said, Brand exposure is very important in our racing scene and this was one of the things on our list. The first step I suggest is to focus on online exposure through local or verified interviews (e.g BBC News or other reliable local news outlets). After that collect all your references.

Before doing anything further, make sure you read and fully understand Conflict of Interest. Then work on your sandbox and ask any editor to help you move it into the mainspace. 🐍 Thilio🤖 06:59, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your efforts are highly appreciated!

Looking for Recommendations

Hi Thilio,

Thanks for your comment on the Teahouse today. I read your profile and am really impressed by the different groups that you're a part of. I even added myself to the Feedback Request Service group.

My primary aim to come to Wikipedia has been to fight Vandalism. I see you have a lot of userboxes, stating you use Twinkle, and that you're part of SVT, among many other things.

As a newcomer, I was wondering if you have any recommendations/suggestions for me about how and where to begin so that I can contribute to antivandalism effectively.

Looking forward to your suggestions! Kingsacrificer (talk) 11:21, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kingsacrificer Thanks a lot for your kind message and welcome again! It’s great to hear that you are interested in contributing to anti-vandalism work, that’s one of the most valuable things new editors can do and it’s always encouraging to see more people joining it.

Here's few suggestions to get started...

A good place to begin is the Recent changes feed you can keep an eye out for obvious vandalism (nonsense, bad faith edits and so on) and revert it. Also since you mentioned Twinkle that’s a great start. It makes reverting and warning editors much easier.

Learn common warning levels: Wikipedia uses a system of escalating warnings for vandalism (from level 1 to 4). Twinkle can handle these automatically but it’s good to understand what each level means. If you come across persistent vandals you can report them at Administrator intervention against vandalism.

Sometimes it’s easy to get frustrated at repeated vandalism but keeping communication polite and assuming good faith when possible helps a lot.

If you’d like to practice you might find the Counter-Vandalism Academy helpful. It’s a guided place where you can learn step by step. Feel free to ping me anytime if you’d like feedback on your antivandalism work. happy editing! Thilio^{R O B O T🤖 talk} 11:59, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the detailed response. I checked all the sources you mentioned.

I went to the Recent changes feed. Seems like there is an active bot that does most of the 'reverting' for cases of obvious vandalism. I scoured through the list, found only one instance worth reverting (wouldn't even call it obvious vandalism but it was an unnecessary change) and reverted it.

I tried enabling Twinkle but I'm not autoconfirmed as my account is only 2 days old. I also checked the WP:Antivandal tool, but it seems to have the same restriction. I will look into both the tools soon.

The CVA sounds like a very good opportunity, but it recommends that a user makes atleast 200 edits before teaming up with a trainer. I have only made around 100 edits, and a lot of them are talk page edits as well so I don't know if they count.

Anyways, will keep in touch!

Thanks a lot for your guidance Kingsacrificer (talk) 13:01, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Thilio, you substantially bettered my article on this Zimbabwe documentary at the end of last month - which I thankyou again for. If you happen to have the time and interest, could you possibly have another look at it, since I think (hope) it is much closer to being finished now. I've added some additional references, and as this is my only article, I don't know how to write them properly. There's no doubt some other things that you may pick up.

(D) the "Engagement" section title is unclear.... and (E) the "Disputes" section is BLP-sensitive and should rely on strong independent sources.

Many thanks once again Thilio for all of your help with the All the President's Elephants page. I'm trying now to add a clickable link to the Sharon Pincott Wikipedia page, which already mentions the All the President's Elephants documentary - but it's telling me that the documentary is not a valid link (unless I'm doing something wrong).

Draft:Sun King (company)

Hoi, the reaction is as expected. It is one of the reason why I hardly ever edit Wikipedia anymore. Consider your response, it is about form not substance. Given the sheer economic relevance of what the substance is. Impact on people, economic impact for the economy of countries given that there external sources for African subjects are hard to come by, given that there is an external document confirming the impact, I respectfully disagree with the notion that this is advertisement. GerardM (talk) 10:58, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@GerardM the reaction is as expected. It is one of the reason why I hardly ever edit Wikipedia anymore. Consider your response, I'm sorry, I know how hard you've worked on Draft:Sun King (company), moving it back to draftSpace doesn't mean your work is rejected it's just that to alert you to add more effort improving it, currently the DRAFT reads like a promotional piece rather than a neutral encyclopedic entry not only that it also lacks independent, reliable sources to verify claims (most references are primary, from the company itself) also you need to do some minor fixes like Bare Urls, and Citing the sources in right sentences, see HOW TO CITING SOURCES.

Three photos deleted from All the President's Elephants documentary page

Hello Thilio, me again! I had added 4 photos in total (with some difficulty, since I had not done this before) to the All the President's Elephants page, which had been previously uploaded to Wikipedia by the owner of these photos - ie by head of the Production Company of the documentary, Mr Bergh from Triosphere - for free use. They all had descriptions. A bot has now removed 3 of these photos and I don't understand why. Are you able to shed any light on this for me? Thank you once again. (Is there a limit on the amount of photos that can be used on a page? Where they uploaded incorrectly? Did I do something wrong?) WikiAdd01 (talk) 23:59, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Additional info - I will ensure that the CEO of South African Production Company, Triosphere - Oloff Bergh - who has already given a signed permission-to-use letter for any of their photographs that were previously taken during documentary filming (apparently not worded correctly for Wiki), to write/send a different appropriately worded Email to Wiki for all of the photos that were previously added to this article (and then deleted), so that they can be uploaded again.

"Robot"

Hi Thilio, in the age of AI, the "ROBOT" text (and arguably the emoji too, but mostly the text) looks like a disclaimer that your message came from a bot. Especially when you patrol recent changes and review article drafts, I think this is a too-likely and too-problematic impression on the recipients.

Articles for creation backlog drive

Hello Thilio:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in December!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than half a month of outstanding reviews from the current 2+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 December 2025 through 31 December 2025.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help!

Question about rollback on Marcel Proust

Hello, I noticed that you reverted a temporary account, ~2025-39518-33 (talk · contribs), two days ago: Special:Diff/1326512329, and this was marked as a rollback and AntiVandal edit. But these are the two edits you reverted, the only two performed by that temporary account: Special:Diff/1326507822 and Special:Diff/1326512213, which combined together changed the wikilink [[Amateur|dilettante]] to [[wiktionary:dilettante|dilettante]]. The merits of this could I suppose be debated, though I would argue these edits were a marginal improvement. More to the point, I didn't see any reason to believe these were rollback-worthy vandalism edits. In case I'm missing some context here, would you be willing to explain this use of rollback? Thank you, both for your anti-vandalism work and for your time! — Johan Brahm (talk) 01:50, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Johan Brahm That's not strictly vandalism but it is an unhelpful and inappropriate change unconstructive Please read my level 1 warning on the Tempo account User Talk. [[wiktionary:dilettante|dilettante]] sends readers off-wiki and it removes encyclopedic context (interwiki links to dictionaries ooh is generally discouraged) and the tempo account edit summary says The wrong description was showing for dilettante. It was showing amatuer, that's not wrong descip, dilettante is a Disambiguation for Amateur please see Dilettante. oh and also AntiVandal is designed to catch such unhelpful edits. Thank you.

Assistance With Article For Deletion: Joekels

Hi @Thilio

I noticed on the article I created Joekels, that you previously made some small edits. The article has now been marked as AfD, and I was wondering if it would be possible for you to assist in the voting discussion to help keep it up, and help improve the article further, so that it can improve and avoid deletion. I'm not sure if this is correct protocol to follow here as I am pretty new to Wikipedia, but I thought I would give it a shot. Thanks in advance. Van1985 (talk) 08:42, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Van1985 Sorry to say this but Joekels does not satisfy WP:NCORP or WP:ORGIND criteria. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 09:37, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

These links that I have references are all reliable, independent sources, and well-recognised in South Africa as credible sources, so I'm not sure why it has been said that all the sources are promotional or company websites.

I have removed company profiles references.

Third-party sources like Bizcommunity and Business Day are also good sources for company notability.

I feel like there is strong, independent coverage here showing that the company is notable. Van1985 (talk) 10:05, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New articles

Hi there, and thanks for your help with NPP! I noticed you have recently created multiple stubs for English politicians. As I was reviewing them, I noticed a few were for people who already appeared to have a Wikipedia article (i.e., Edward Walpole (1621–1668) and Henry Waltham (d.1668)). I checked for these based on the disambiguators and found that the sources to the History of Parliament were the same for the new and existing articles. As you create new articles, please double check that we do not have existing articles. Thank you! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 16:26, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Significa liberdade I did a full checkup and double-checked everything before creating these stubs. I may have missed some as some MPs have the same names which is confusing and tricky. I'm sure I missed these two. Again, thanks for the notes I'll take two or three extra steps next time. :) CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 16:41, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Thilio, I noticed my draft “Draft:Shanmuganathan Vasanthapriyan” was declined. I have carefully rewritten the Early life, Academic career, and Research sections to remove any close paraphrasing and to follow neutral, encyclopedic style. I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly review the updated draft or provide guidance on any remaining issues.

@InfoNodeSL I am Sorry for the frustration this may cause I have reviewed the updated version but still shows similarities in structure and phrasing and the DRAFT continues to rely heavily on primary and affiliated sources.

May I confirm whether, for the purpose of assessing notability, Wikipedia considers only major national newspaper coverage as acceptable independent secondary sources? The draft already includes such newspaper articles, and I would like to understand if additional source types are required beyond these. InfoNodeSL (talk) 12:00, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@InfoNodeSL We do not require only major national newspapers other types of independent sources are also acceptable. Currently uo draft does not meet Notability criteria for Academics

1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.

2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.

3. The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Physics).

The Awards section verified only with CSSL'S own publications (Which we call Primary sources).

Leadership roles are confirmed by IEEE and SLAAS, REF 18 (Also primary). Independent COVERAGE exists but is too limited and even focused. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 11:41, 23 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:2024 Handan International Taijiquan Sports Conference (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi,

I'm hoping you can provide guidance on my draft article. After the prior rejection, I asked AI to review the draft, and discovered my article has more independent references than peer articles that were previously approved. A few examples of many:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Pan_American_Wushu_Championships https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Wushu_Championships https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_World_Wushu_Championships

AI actually suggested that my article may actually have too many references, that would make it difficult to review!? As a new contributor, I don't know if that is even a real thing on Wikipedia? I just know the event itself is of high notability, especially relative to the standards previously established on Wikipedia for such events.

Thanks for your help and happy holidays. Brodyking1970 (talk) 23:50, 23 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Brodyking1970 I'm sorry for late reply.... I asked AI to review the draft, and discovered my article has more independent references than peer articles that were previously approved. A few examples of many... First Thank you for contributing on that Draft.... MY advice to you as new contributor please do not use or depend on AI.... Do not compare articles using AI what you should be doing is compare structures, see the way how they cited using Wikipedia guidelines. Currently your draft fails WP:EVENT. The current sources are routine event reporting which WP:EVENT explicitly says is not enough ALSO there is no independent analysis discussing "Why this specific 2024 edition is historically significant" ALSO even though the tone is not extreme the structure still READS like An official program AND a press release or lemme say an event report.... Please add INDEPENDENT secondary sources to explain why the event is notable beyond its OCCURRENCE. Thanks CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 07:31, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review on Draft:Joel_Joseph_(musician), I real appreciate it but i have check all the sources listed such as 1.

( https://www.mpasho.co.ke/entertainment/2025-12-11-inside-afro-jungle-mr-joel-josephs-sonic-journey-through-culture-love-and-movement ) This as well talks about his releases as Mr Joel Joseph 3. ( https://conversationsabouther.net/mr-joel-joseph-blends-afrobeat-and-amapiano-on-new-ep-afro-jungle/ ) Also talk about his Music album 4. (https://www.tnx.africa/diaspora/article/2001536666/tanzanian-musician-mr-puaz-rebrands-to-mr-joel-joseph-eyes-nairobi-promo-tour-with-fresh-ep ) It talk about his rebranding from Mr Puaz to Mr Joel Joseph 5. ( https://www.bbc.com/swahili/habari-46748076 ) The BBC Swahili talks about his career as artist manager with his former name Mr Puaz ) 6. ( https://hivisasa.com/posts/66874273-mr-puaz-wins-most-supportive-man-at-starqt-awards-in-south-africa ) talks about his awards as Mr Puaz

from all these sources and as per Wikipedia:MUSICBIO and more links that has been shared this shows notability . Kindly let me know your views . Thanks Sasavara (talk) 12:03, 24 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sasavara THANKS. The issue is not reliability alone but whether the sources provide significant, independent coverage and the sources you listed are mostly routine coverage of releases, branding, announcements and interviews which are likely promotional features. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 13:04, 24 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

almost forget, the BBC source mentions Mr Puaz only as a participant in the Harmonize WCB Wasafi split. It is supporting evidence but not sufficient in-depth, independent coverage of the subject. THANKS AGAIN CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 13:06, 24 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your respond but am a bit skeptical on some of the sources you claim . ( https://notjustok.com/article/joel-joseph-drops-afro-jungle-ep/ ) this article shows notability of the subject and many others as it shows in depth of his album release. and also the stage name has been redirected from Mr Joel Joseph to Joel Joseph which is not primarily his stage name. Sasavara (talk) 13:11, 24 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sasavara The DRAFT is well cited but needs clearer demonstration of notability beyond PR, releases and rebranding news. My advice please add one or two more major newspaper or magazine PF that have focused significantly on him not only Harmonize, if there's another BBC source that fully focusing on him add it and ping me.
