I appreciate all the work you do at AFC and I can understand the frustration as a reviewer when it seems inundated with garbage or unencyclopedic topics but please be cautious about which drafts you outright reject. Rejection really should only be used for patently unencyclopedic submissions and repeated (especially after discussion) submissions of non-notable junk like vanity spam. Drafts like these: [1] [2] [3] [4] have a slew of problems and more than likely aren't notable but they're mostly also first time submissions and not outright unencyclopedic. So I guess what I'm asking is maybe to refrain from using the rejection option save for special, obvious cases. Thanks! Praxidicae ( talk) 14:46, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
more than likely aren't notablebut stating, via the decline template, that users are "encouraged to edit the submission" seems unkind and also disrespectful of the submitter's time and effort. Perhaps this is worth discussing at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation as people seem to have different ideas as to what the rejection feature is for. -- K.e.coffman ( talk) 01:09, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Police Battalion 322 you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of AugusteBlanqui -- AugusteBlanqui ( talk) 09:21, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
The article Police Battalion 322 you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Police Battalion 322 for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Your edit referencing the Rommel myth made me think of creating User:Szzuk/Speer myth. I'm not really sure if I will proceed with it, the problem is that there is quite a lot of material in the main article so it could be suggested for a merge or deleted as a fork, as with Rommel. Good work on Rommel's myth anyway. Szzuk ( talk) 20:25, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
The post immediately above appears to be topic ban evasion by Special:Contributions/DbivansMCMLXXXVI. The same applies to the post further down on the page: #How do stories of anti-nazi behavior somehow serve as pro-nazi propaganda? -- K.e.coffman ( talk) 01:37, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

I have noticed that you have repeatedly stated in several articles that anti-nazi stories are in fact pro-nazi.
Please explain how stories about German soldiers opposing Hitler or the actions of the SS are pro Nazi propaganda. For instance, you repeatedly claim that Franz Kurowski's stories involving anti-nazi behavior by German soldiers are in fact pro-nazi propaganda written by the Nazi media. Why would the Nazi media push stories of resistance against themselves?
This does not seem to make any sense. Please do explain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100A:B016:5BC7:31D8:FFCB:7B75:B67B ( talk • contribs) 02:06, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
