Hi
I created my first article on a non profit organization called Rush Soccer but the page was denied and deleted before I had time to address the matter. By any chance, do you know is there a way to restore the sandbox in order to change the few sentence that needed to be fix so I won't have to go through again the process to code a whole new page (which it is very time consuming when you are newbie like me )
I appreciate your time.

Hi, please don't use BLPPROD on articles that have external links on them, as you did here: Special:diff/819178073, as external links count as sources and BLPPROD is only to be used where there are no sources at all. A WP:PROD, or an appropriate WP:CSD are the correct methods for uncontroversial deletion of BLP's that have at least 1 source on them. Thanks. Iffy★Chat -- 09:59, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Sricity Nature Society is a is a non profit organisation founded by a group of nature lovers in Sri City. SNS promotes appreciation, education and conservation of Nature. its similar to Nature Forever Society
I was just adding more details to it when you nominated it for deletion. Request you to kindly remove the deletion nomination. Shmilyshy 05:46, 11 January 2018 (UTC) thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. With respect to citations, am I correct in thinking that what I really need are references to PRINT publications that substantiate the statement I make in the text. For example, if I say he was head of the School of Music at a university, I would want to cite a print publication that supports that statement?
Also, there are some things that do not exist in print. For example in this case, published software programs or musical scores being offered online by publishers who no longer mail out printed catalogs. Is there no way to use an external link for those?

Hello Whispering!
Thank you for reviewing the article (biography) I submitted. The subject fulfills several of the criteria for notable persons (academics) (e.g. holds a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution, is an elected member of several prestigious scientific associations (e.g. AAAS, AE, EMBO)) - I will add more references to verify this. In the section 'Scientific interests', what is needed in addition to the references I included? I already included references to his major findings which are published in leading peer-reviewed journals (e.g. Science, Nature) and external links to Scopus and Google scholar where one can find his h-index and citation record, as well as the institute's website, etc. Could you advise me how I can improve this, please? I look forward to your feedback!

Hello Whispering. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of The Companion Magazine, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 cannot be applied to magazines, try WP:PROD or WP:AFD if a merger/redirect to the publishing entity is not feasible. Thank you. SoWhy 12:54, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi
I created an article Draft:Moozlie, however it was denied due to referencing the person's website. I have addressed the issue but I have received no feedback. I was advised to merge Draft:Nomuzi_Mabena to Draft:Moozlie, would like assistance with that.

Dear Whispering: Hopefully you agree that is helpful for us to address the impression you have shared of our proposed article. Our goal is to comply with Wikipedia's publishing guidelines and a condition precedent to accomplishing that goal is, of course, you being of the impression that it has been accomplished. Frankly, Opt IN USA's administrators were surprised and disappointed that our overview merely describing Opt IN USA, its objectives, and contentions (clearly identified as such) were dismissed as advertisement-like. Our Wikipedia draft is meant to create public awareness of Opt IN USA (as other Wikipedia entries have seemed to do with regard to other social justice movements), not hard sell or prove related contentions. Additional guidance from you as to what language suggests otherwise would be very much appreciated.
Also, please note that Opt IN USA's contentions are very much premised on independent, reliable, published sources -- a fact that would be clear from our draft if our intent was to detail as opposed to merely reference those contentions and direct our Wikipedia audience to related white papers. Naturally we don't intend for our Wikipedia entry to duplicate Opt IN USA's extensive publications that cite similarly researched writings (some peer-reviewed) of the campaign's sister organizations and leaders. Is it not enough for Wikipedia to verify that Opt IN USA is in fact an ongoing campaign with the objectives and contentions credited to it by our proposed Wikipedia article? All the citations needed to accomplish that task have been provided.
Finally, it is difficult to imagine that America's position on the Optional Protocols of two (2) of its most prominent human rights treaties would not be considered a notable subject and/or that the existence of the U.S. legal/judicial system reform movement from which Opt IN USA evolved would not be considered a notable subject. Does Wikipedia contend otherwise?
Your consideration and assistance are very much appreciated. Thank you. Opt IN USA administrators look forward to your response. ZenaDC-Logal (talk) 05:08, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Hello Whispering. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Tjebbe van Tijen, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: previous (revdel'd) version contained plenty of claims of significance and a short GNews/GBooks search indicates that significance might well exist. Use WP:AFD instead. Thank you. SoWhy 09:02, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Yes, Whispering, all the sources in my document are pamphlets or books created by the artist himself.
I personally met the artist in Prague and he commented that he couldn’t provide more information about publishers, etc. since these catalogues were done by him for his solo or collaborative exhibitions.
I hope this helps. I would like to create this page to give this painter and print maker more recognition, especially for English speaking readers.
Thanks for your help, Whispering.

Hello Whispering, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently.

Since you didn't reply to my argument on my talk page as to why the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller should be an article, I've decided to leave that message here, "The Wii U Pro Controller has its own article despite it being shorter than my draft, so I don't see why the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller can't have its own article. It's better to have information solely about the pro controller on its own article rather than have a short paragraph overview of the Pro controller on the Nintendo Switch Wikipedia article." 344917661X (talk) 19:15, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Generally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI: "Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.
For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:52, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

I tried to set up a new page, called "Ronnarong Khampha", but it was declined.
The reason was "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia."
I understand the problem. I'm now collecting additional sourcing and reference materials. I'll edit and re-submit once I have those. Please do not delete the draft - collecting the reference materials may take a little time.

Dear Whispering: You recently reverted an edit to the Sikh Dharma entry, which replaced that page's redirect page with a disambiguation page--a change that was previously posted for discussion on that entry's Talk page. Your edit summary does not address the issues identified for discussion on the Talk page. For the moment I am leaving your reversion in place in hopes of a resolution. I invite you to join me in a substantive discussion at the Talk page to identify why you believe a disambiguation page is inappropriate.
Please note that if this matter is not resolved through the Talk page, I expect to revert your edit and restore the disambiguation page.

Hallo, I came across this article while stubsorting earlier today, and it got onto my watchlist because I created its talkpage. Please move it back to mainspace: it had several good reliable sources, though they were listed as "External links" and didn't show their true nature. I've upgraded the formatting of those refs so that they now show where they came from. They don't perhaps source the exact list of 10 named oblasts, but I think the rest is well sourced and ought to be in main space before someone else creates a duplicate article. I can't move it myself because you edited the redirect. Can you? If not I'll have to ask for admin assistance. Thanks. PamD 16:48, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

I got the idea that I should have a wikipedia page due to the fact that many of our competitors seem to have one. E.g. ABBYY_FineReader
I used this wiki page as a starting point for our own, trying to be as objective as that page appears to be. Can you you help me to identify the key differences between that page and my submission so that I can amend the submission to meet standards?
I saw you rejected this piece for being too soon, but I wanted to know why this was rejected whilst there are several others that deal with specific local elections next year which have been approved. I've not tried to predict the future here; I was creating a page for a scheduled event of notable importance. I've already been in touch with several political parties to find out whether they'll be running in this area to help improve the piece.

Hello Whispering,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Hi there. Per WP:NEXIST, insufficient sourcing is not a reason for removal of content from mainspace. If a subject can plausibly be sourced, it is allowed to stay in mainspace even if it is not sourced at the moment. Also, I noted multiple times that you moved pages that contained previously merged or copied text, breaking attribution which is also against policy. Regards SoWhy 16:48, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
