Hi, thanks for approving the draft article I wrote. Do you know how to italicise article titles? So for example if you look at Monroe v Hopkins the title is in italics; I need this for Kirkegaard v Smith. Sheldon1567 (talk) 14:46, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Let me first talk about the insufficient context sentence wise.
The Departmental Council of Gard (French: Conseil Départemental du Gard, Occitan: Conselh Departamental de Gard) is the deliberative assembly of the Gard department of France.: This simply mentions that a certain departmental council is a deliberative assembly (a meeting of members who use parliamentary procedure; a smaller version of the parliament) of a certain department in France, link to terms are given for meaning.
It consists of 46 members (general councilors) from 23 cantons and its headquarters are in Nîmes.: This says that the above mentioned council has 46 members elected from 23 cantons of the department and its head office is in the commune of Nimes.
Then comes a list of vice presidents of the council, now cited with 2 self-published reliable sources.
The article as of now has four good citations, and the article can be easily understood by anyone (although I accept the fact that some might not get what a department is). Similar articles on the topic (made by me) were also accepted. (Visit the last few departmental council links on my userpage)

Qwerfjkl I am worried if I do any mistake and get my article speedy deleted, so I still work with the AfC process. Excellenc1📞 13:08, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
I didn't know what do I put as the headline, so sorry if I messed up. Also I don't know if I should ask this on a talk page, so inform me if I shouldn't.
As per your userbox, you have been here for 5 months now. How did you, in this short period of time, become an extended confirmed user, pending changes reviewer, rollbacker, autoconfirmed user, Apprentice Editor (and some other titles)? I have been here for over an year, I still am an editor with just 830 edits. Is it because you knew all about Wikipedia before joining or you were too dedicated to Wikipedia for 5 months? Excellenc1📞 13:06, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
As per the edit count here, you have made 20342 edits (in English Wikipedia). But your Service Award Progress says you have 9220 edits. Is it because you didn't update your template? Excellenc1📞 05:46, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi, a few weeks ago, I had a discussion with you on a Wikipedia entry where the changes were rolled back repeatedly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharampal).
At that time, an analysis showed that the IP-Check-Tool on Wikipedia seemed to identify as violations, publication information (such as book title, author, etc) as well as run of the mill phrases (such as, (i) “…thinker, historian and political philosopher”, (ii) ”… of the cultural, scientific and technological achievements of Indian society on the eve of the British conquest” (iii) “Gandhiji’s call for Individual Satyagraha in October 1940”,).
In light of this discovery, it was concluded that there were no violations of IP or copyright in the changes being made. Today (and yesterday), I have made significant changes to the previous text in order to provide a reasonably comprehensive summary of Dharampal's life and work.
I am burdening you with this information as a measure of precaution intended to prevent a recurrence of a roll-back on the Wiki entry.
Thanks and sorry for the longish message and the bother.

Your relisting contains a strange relisting comment "Consensus is on merging or deleting". If there is consensus, the discussion should be closed instead of relisted. Or if there is no consensus, you should not make that comment. Or if you agree with merging/deleting you should participate in the discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:53, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Dear Qwerfjkl,
Thanks for your quick response to my latest edits of Richmond Jay Bartlett. Please clarify what in my article needs more inline citations. I believe that the direct quotes (2) and material needing a footnote have been referenced with inline citations and footnotes in the References section.
I look forward to your advice on this.

Dear Qwerfjkl,
I have revised and re-published the article on Richmond Bartlett. I converted the external links in the body of the article to Wikilinks, and I added relevant references to the Early life and Professional life sections, per your advice. The new text and references also bring more cohesion to the overall article between Bartlett's professional/personal life and his research accomplishments.
Thanks, Caribou J (talk) 19:25, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
I have added a citation to an online source in the two places in the article where you recommended having this. It references & verifies his retirement and death dates, along with dates of professional advancement that I included in the article.
Thanks, Caribou J (talk) 21:04, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi Qwerfjkl,
Thanks for accepting this article and posting it, but I noted that after you did this, another editor removed the two figures from the revision that you posted. They really are central to the article, are referenced in the text, and illustrate key ideas of Bartlett. Can you put these back in for me, or what is the protocol on this?
Caribou J (talk) 17:38, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Dear Qwerfjkl,
Here is a diff for the version you accepted and the one Elmidae created by removing the 2 figures:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Richmond_Jay_Bartlett&diff=next&oldid=1035879933
Thanks, Caribou J (talk) 18:54, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Dear Qwerfjkl,
In re-reading the sections that referred to Fig. 1 & 2, I can see why Elmidae determined that they were peripheral, and I edited out the relevant text. Thanks for all your advice and help in getting this published.
Hi Qwerfjkl, regarding the article about Naina Sharma, the removal of content from a BLP can usually be treated as a neutrality concern or a verifiability concern. It thus doesn't necessarily require an explanation, and reinstating the material requires verification, ideally using an inline citation (WP:BURDEN). Standard summaries like "Fixed typo" can be generated by clicking a button in the Wikipedia app, which the user has done there. That's rather laziness than malice. Best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:19, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, thank you for your review and feedback on the page I'm creating https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:We_Plug_Good_Music
I was following the feedback given from the previous reviewer, who asked me to add more extensive coverage via independent sources, which is why we added more references from Guardian and new references from MTV as well as from Complex. I wasn't trying to do a notability bomb so I appreciate the alert to it.
Would you suggest to remove these references and find others? Or should we find other references to add to what is already cited? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.
Ayo wpgm (talk) 11:40, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
@Qwerfjkl thank you so much, there are Tumblr and We Plug Good Music sources so I'll make sure to do that and also check for other sources like Twitter to remove them as well, thank you for your help Ayo wpgm (talk) 11:55, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

As an FYI, an article about the subject already existed at Zaki Nusseibeh, so I have redirected the newer creation to the old one. Best, SpencerT•C 12:24, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
The changes I made to the article more accurately reflect the New York Times article used as the citation by the previous poster. The article cited DOES NOT SUPPORT the conclusions the Wikipedia entry asserts that it does. A quick reading of the article shows that there is no mention, for example, of lockdowns forcing anyone into poverty as the Wikipedia article asserts that New York Time's article concludes. This use of false citations is clearly an attempt by a politically motivated individual to portray the government lockdowns as being detrimental to the American economy and bolstering that claim by citing to a publication that is generally seen as taking an opposing political position. The problem is that the article DOES NOT state what the author of the Wikipedia page claims it does. I took the liberty of amending the statements so they more accurately reflect the content of the source cited so that I can help Wikipedia stop spreading dangerous fake news. 208.125.143.178 (talk) 14:06, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Qwerfjkl,
CFD closures are tricky, even for an administrator, and you closed Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 July 15#Category:Low-power FM radio stations incorrectly. If a category is renamed, you don't create a new page, a bot moves the old category page over so you retain the page history and the bot recategorizes all of the contents, you don't do this manually unless you are dealing with a very small number of categories (say, less than 10). Until you have a lot more experience, please do not try to handle CFD closures unless the decision is to retain/Keep the current categories. If you want more guidance, consider asking admins & editors who do lots of CFD closures for help as the process is more complicated than closing an AFD or RFD. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 16:55, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
Hey, why did you decline my Category:Song recordings produced by Nav (rapper)? Examples include “Back to Back” by Drake, “What You Want” by Belly, “Myself” by Nav, and a lot of others. You can look these songs up on Tidal. Nav produced all these songs. You said there is no song recordings.

You recently comment on the redirect request Discoverer 40, saying that the source does not anything about Discoverers 40-44. However, it does. It says that all Discoverer satellites are the same as the Corona satellites. It is therefore obvious from that the Discovers 40-44 are the same as the Corona satellites. @Qwerfjkl: 100.2.238.109 (talk)

Hi Qwerfjkl,
I see you declined my draft article on Securitize citing need for reliable sources. No worries! I have already cited articles by Bloomberg (definitely a top media outlet), Forbes, and a number of other serious outlets that adhere to journalistic standards. I also believe most statements in the article are backed up by a primary citation. Can you help me understand what else is necessary in order to clear this bar? Happy to revise or wait until better sources are available if necessary. Just seems to me the current sources are already quite credible.
Thank you!
