Question from Dipierstechnologies (20:22, 26 September 2024)

How do I delete defamatory Articles? --Dipierstechnologies (talk) 20:22, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

@Dipierstechnologies: You don't. Which article do you think is defamatory? - UtherSRG (talk) 21:42, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

AFC rejection

"Each reference should have only a single citation" is not in the policy page referenced (REFB). The WikiProject Article Creation guideline clearly warns reviewers to Avoid declining an article because you personally don't like the citation style or formatting (here). Please reverse your rejection. Ivan (talk) 17:03, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

@Иованъ: I know you know how to do what I'm asking. Also, learn the difference between a declined submission (where you are allowed to continue to work it to make it fit the main article space) and submission rejection (where you are required to halt work entirely and should move on to something else). - UtherSRG (talk) 17:10, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification regarding the process. I know you know how to do what I'm asking is not very helpful. I genuinely don't. Can you please elaborate? Or perhaps demonstrate on one of the drafts what you had in mind? You never replied to any of my "Is this what you had in mind" attempts to conform these articles to your standards. Please bear in mind that these are my first ever hybrid articles. Ivan (talk) 17:14, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

@Иованъ: Look at other species articles in the same genus. There are literally thousands of examples for you to follow. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:15, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

I mean with regards to the citations. Almost every editor has differences in citation style. Mine happen to provide quotations, which there is no rule against. But I don't even know if the quotations are what you object to. So please elaborate. Ivan (talk) 17:16, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Each reference should be to a single citation. Yours have multiple citations in some refs. And some of those citations are duplicated in other (often multi-)refs. Clean these up. Go look at other articles. Stop asking me questions that you can quickly research the answers yourself. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:18, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Oh, thank you. That was the answer I was looking for. The duplications I believe I can fix thanks to a new experimental template Wikipedia just introduced.

But multiple citations are very much an acceptable citation style for multiple sources stating the same thing. It is often used to back up complex claims. In this case, it reduces reading clutter for the sources of each country. It is not grounds for rejection. So now I have a technical question. If you continue to dispute the validity of multi-refs, is WP:DNR WP:DRN the proper avenue for dispute resolution? Or is there a better alternative? Ivan (talk) 17:27, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

For multiple sources supporting the same fact, use multiple ref tags. When one ref supports multiple facts, name the ref so that they end up being a single ref note in the references section. I don't think you mean DNR, but I don't know what you are actually meaning there. Please just make the reference fixes as I've requested, and I'll then approve the drafts. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:36, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

I am in the process of replacing duplicate references with shortened+quotation.

However, since I believe I am correct about the validity of multi-refs (there is a reason the template exists in the first place and you have yet to show concrete support for your actions from policy), or at least that it is not grounds for rejection of an AFC, I am afraid I have no choice but to seek third party arbitration. You blocked me once without warning. I will not risk another block by resubmitting with only partial compliance with changes you demanded. Ivan (talk) 17:51, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

How about make the changes first and ping me, then you can decide if there's a need for some further process. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:54, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Cirsium × przybylzkii. This is as far as I am willing to go without a third opinion from a qualified editor. I even moved some of the bundled sources to a "Further reading" section for legibility.

Draft:Cirsium × stiriacum has been edited in the same style. Ivan (talk) 18:22, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

I've updated przybylzkii to what works. This is the English-language wiki, including non-English text isn't helpful. Single instance of a reference in the reference list, with a pointer back to all of the places it is used. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:33, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Cirsium × reichardtii has been edited in the same style. Ivan (talk) 18:41, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Cleaned up stiriacum now, too. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:41, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Cirsium × juratzkae has been edited in the same style. Ivan (talk) 18:51, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Cirsium × stroblii now has neither of the issues you described (the issue of duplicate citations and the "issue" of bundled references). Were you just speeding through? Or is there something else you want fixed. Ivan (talk) 18:15, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from Omhari 1 on User:Omhari 1/sandbox (20:49, 29 September 2024)

Hello Mentor, I want to move this page as an article and change the title too. but unable to find the move button. kindly suggest your input. --Omhari 1 (talk) 20:49, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Put this at the top of the article: {{draft article}} You do not have permissions to move drafts into main article space at this point. Also, it is not ready for main space. Please read WP:EL for understanding that external links are not allowed in the main article, only in the References and External link sections. - UtherSRG (talk) 20:54, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Jishnu Raghavan

Hi. As per your suggestion, I have wrote the article in my sandbox. Kindly note that some of the content has been translated from Malayalam Wikipedia and please advise me the next steps toward a publishing it to mainspace. Thilsebatti (talk) 13:35, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

@Thilsebatti: See my reply to Omhari 1 above with regard to tagging the sandbox as a draft. That will provide you a button you can use to request a review of your draft. You should also take a look at {{Translated page}} and place that on the talk of your sandbox. Note that it needs the appropriate parameters for language code and source page name. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the information, but I'm already well aware of these steps. I was not asking about this. The article's title is protected in mainspace. I myself is an experienced new page reviewer. But I'm experiencing this kind of situation for the first time. If I tag this as a draft, could you review it yourself? Thilsebatti (talk) 15:26, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

I will not review it. You can wait for the review to happen along with all the other folks waiting for a review. If an AFC reviewer finds the draft acceptable, they can find an admin to assist with the move. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:31, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

The article can be only moved to mainspace by an admin. So how the reviewers without admin rights will be able to publish it to mainspace? Thilsebatti (talk) 15:35, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Like I said, ARC reviewers know how to find an admin. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:37, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Also, you haven't tagged its talk page with the {{translated page}} tag. You need to do that. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:34, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
