Greetings - I reviewed a lot of guidance on what types of articles fit neatly into 'encyclopedic content'.
Atomicity is likely at the center of most articles - but even a cursory review reveals many articles that are arguably a little more free ranging.
I am certainly not sure if an article with a title of 'Transhumanism Technologies' is actually within the scope of WP - I think you saw my original submission as an 'essay' - I did not get much feedback beyond that - and that's fine.
I'm not sure if you act in an advisory role - I suspect such an article would never really fit - but I did refine the lede/lead (?) - and any feedback on its admissibility - would be appreciated.
The technologies at the heart of a lot of transhumanism are actually fairly mainstream - rather obvious I was looking for one central theme to tie the disciplines together.

Hi. Thank you very much for taking a look at my article. I appreciate the time that you have given it. Would you be able to give me some advice please, as some of your feedback goes a little against what the previous reviewer worked with me on, before I resubmitted it. (He preferred not to just put it through, but to ask for someone else to have a look after the edits)
We established that from a notoriety point of view, the article met the guidelines. We worked therefore on ensuring all claims were backed up with reliable, independent, secondary sources, which gave more than a passing acknowledgement to the subject. Since then, I have added two further references which directly report from reliable secondary sources, the claims made.
In effect, the sources come from the following: The National Governing Body website for the sport of Rugby League; An in-depth article from the website of a UK registered charity; Audited, signed minutes of a Local Parish Council Meeting, published on the council website; several news stories published online by National World Publishing Ltd, owners of a series of regional newspapers.
I would really appreciate your help in understanding why these sources are not deemed reliable or secondary, along with a suggestion of what I will need to do to ensure the current content is satisfactory for publications.
Many thanks indeed.
PS - As last time, I received a simultaneous email asking me if I wanted to pay for support to get this article through. I trust this was not from you.

I worked with the previous reviewer to put the very references you quoted in place before resubmission, which is disappointing.
Please can you clarify?

Hi @ BuySomeApples the Memento Exclusives page submission was rejected. You asked for three sources in the talk page. These three I think qualify as they talk about the company in depth, are from news sites/or an official brand, and are reliable: https://www.planetf1.com/features/tour-memento-exclusives-f1-authentics https://www.formulanerds.com/features/exclusive-inside-f1-authentics-f1s-11th-team/ https://corp.formula1.com/formula-1-announces-online-memorabilia-store-in-partnership-with-memento-group/

Hi, BuySomeApples. I received a decline notice for Draft:Will Johnson (pollster) and was hoping you can help me out. The previous reviewer noted that this RBJ reference was reliable, but was not sure about independence and asked for multiple sources. The resubmission included two more references which talk in-depth about Johnson. These include Investor's Business Daily, which goes into detail about his hiring, his role at the organization, his previous employment, and his education; and The Globe and Mail, which does the same. I am hoping you can take another look at these references and let me know what else would be needed to show notability for this individual. Doctorstrange617 ( talk) 18:44, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
I used "Public records available to researchers" because that is similar to a difficult to access citation used on a similar profile for another vaudeville producer/impresario, Tony Pastor. (Under Later Career, where it says "The business records from this period are available to researchers.") F. Ralph Gervers's birth, death, and marriage are accessible through the Florida State Census but I do not know how to attach those. Is the state census considered an approved Wikipedia source? There are 147 articles about him on Newspapers.com, so when I have more time I can continue to source. He was notable in other ways but will need to continue to do more research as I go through vaudeville records. Thank you. Dlothcreb ( talk) 18:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi. You said that seems no significant changes since past AfD, which sounds like mocking of me cause I have no idea how it was looks like before. But one user helped me and found in internet-archive the previous content to evade CSD G4. Refernece: https://web.archive.org/web/20231028000951//info/en/?search=Bitget So after I saw that, reviewer's comment sounds like mocking of me.

Thanks for helping me with the To Catch the Sun article /info/en/?search=Draft:To_Catch_the_Sun.
I found a second Forbes article - so between those two, the CTV article which is pretty good and has video - but I could not figure out how to include the video itself, and then the excerpts reprinted in several different venues - and citation in Google Scholar 14 times, is that enough to cross the notability line?
As to encyclopedic tone - which sentences are incorrect? I tried to just say factual things backed up by the references at the end of each sentence.

Dear BuySomeApples, thank you for having a look at my draft. I did add page numbers to book citations 3,4,5 using {{ rp}}, and the only other book I have cited is number 8, "A feminist Approach to Madness". Such a large percentage of the book discusses the bureaucratization of the organisation, so it didn't really seem appropriate to leave a page number for that one specifically. I will note that citation 7 is an archival collection and not a book, just a bunch of documents organised in boxes. Darcyisverycute ( talk) 01:18, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi there BuySomeApples, thanks for looking at my draft, I jut have a couple questions I was hoping you could help me with. A lot of the sources for the information are physical documents in my possession, and so I was wondering how I should reference them on the page. Is there a way for me to scan the documents and then put them on wikipedia? Thanks Kai110ux ( talk) 13:33, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing my draft. I have deleted one reference and added several new references which I believe are reliable.
I am an expert in the field of digital photography and digital imaging. Dillon is indeed one of the most notable inventors of imaging technology - he invented the technology that enables your smartphone to take color photos. But he retired before the importance of his work was recognized. So there are no in-depth articles written specifically about his career at Kodak.
Comment: This person is very likely notable but some of the sources are unreliable (see WP:RS), and it would also help to have more in-depth and independent articles or other sources that talk about Dillon / his inventions. Do you think you can make these changes? Once that's done, it'll probably be ready for mainspace. BuySomeApples ( talk) 17:46, 23 December 2023 (UTC) KAPcooney ( talk) 19:11, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
