I'm confused, your notice on my user talk page said that you had placed the good article review, "On Hold" -- but the article's talk page said it was failed. Which one is it?

Hello, M4V3R1CK32,
Several of the articles you tagged for proposed deletion had already been PROD'd before which makes them ineligible for another proposed deletion.
Please remember to check the page's edit history before tagging a page with a PROD tag to make sure it hasn't been PROD'd or taken to AFD already. Thank you for your contributions! Liz Read! Talk! 21:18, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

On 20 September 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Duesenberg, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a Duesenberg car was the first American car to win a French Grand Prix, doing so in 1921? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Duesenberg. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Duesenberg), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited William D. Hoard, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Schoolhouse.

Hi Maverick32, you asked for more sources. He wrote a book that is referenced in his Cyclopedia entry that I included as a source and that was recently reprinted with a supplement to it. There are so many newspaper articles about John Henry Hammond, I found 40 of them that corroborate the many organizations and clubs he was involved in and the railroad and business work he did and this barely scratched the surface. And that search was omitting the myriad of NYT articles about his wife who has an article for her on Wikipedia. In the press, Emily Vanderbilt Sloane went by Mrs. John Henry Hammond, and she was constantly in the New York Times and other major publications. His mansion, John Henry Hammond house, also has a Wikipedia article. But there is no Wikipedia article about the man who it is named after. I am pleased you chose to comment on this, as I see you write a lot about Wisconsin. You'll appreciate this figure, since his father, Gen. John Henry Hammond, built the City of Superior, where I grew up, and John and his brother Ogden Haggerty Hammond, who also has a Wikipedia page, both frequented Superior and remained involved in Midwest business, politics and organizations. His father, Gen. John Henry Hammond also deserves a Wikipedia entry and I have a ton of archival material to draw from for him from Superior and Louisville. This is one of the most fascinating families you'll ever study and it's too bad nobody knows enough about all four of the generations of John Hammonds. Singer2cantor ( talk) 07:50, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for cancelling my article. The reason why I chose to cancel this project was because after consulting with a PR professional and then with a company that specialises in creating Wikipedia entries, I was essentially told that while Wikipedia promotes itself as an open and editable platform, the reality is that it is pay to play. The company informed me that the only way to successfully create these articles is to pay their team quite large sums of money for each article so that they can “independently” post the work on my behalf. I now think Wikipedia is just as reliable a source as the ones you have discredited. Just as reliable as Cyclopedia. Equally as promotional. I know these figures are important historically, but they will never become Wikipedia articles because of the business model. Unless someone pays for the articles to be created using a Wikipedia professional editor like yourself, it won’t happen. So I now know where I will focus my money and efforts. Thank you!

Hello M4V3R1CK32. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of A.L.

Hey, Maverick -- it's fantastic to see your enthusiasm for the backlog drive. Unfortunately, your quickfail for Morris Bishop isn't one I can give points for, as the points brought up in the review don't relate to quickfail criteria:
Again, thanks so much for your participation in the drive, and I hope not to put you off. GAN is a learning experience for the reviewer, as well as the nominator. If you have any questions about future reviews, I'm happy to help in any way I can. Vaticidal prophet 02:47, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
First off, a tip of the hat to Vaticidalprophet. I have a terrible memory for usernames, but "Vaticidalprophet" is unusually memorable, and the particular memory is a recent one, of me bitching about VP's choice of terminology for a candidate GA. In the circumstances it's particularly magnanimous of VP to (kind of) defend my wording.
Bishop has been dead for half a century. He was primarily a writer of fairly conscientious but popular nonfiction (to use a word that perhaps postdated him). It's rare for such books to live much beyond 20, and Bishop's are no exception. Bishop was also an unusually prolific writer of material with no academic/pedagogic pretences. Book reviews seem the best kind of source for his books (serious or otherwise) -- which isn't to say that my handling of them couldn't be improved. He seems to have had a serene academic and personal life: I know of no feuds, fisticuffs, scandals, drug addictions, illegitimate children, etc. I think it's proper for an article about such a person to be largely about his books. A division into "Books by Morris Bishop" and "Morris Bishop" (excepting the books) would be grotesque. The only individual work that I think would easily support its own good [small "g"!] article would be A History of Cornell, but I am not equipped to write it. I suppose that if pressed I could create AfD-resistant articles on other individual books, but I believe that WP already has too much of this kind of junk.
I'm warmly in favour of infoboxes for, say, chemical elements. They have their advantages for, say, baseball players, whose achievements can be quantified and compared. For academics, they're redundant at best: The infobox for Ludwig Wittgenstein mostly just repeats what can easily be found in the article, but also depends on seemingly undefined criteria for "notable" and "main". -- Hoary ( talk) 06:36, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello M4V3R1CK32:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
Hi M4V3R1CK32, I noticed in your review you stated you were not sure about popmatters being RS but it is. I suggest installing User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/CiteHighlighter.js which highlights sources green/orange/red based on WP:RSP or Wikiproject documentation. Of course this does not mean a "green lit" source contributes to notability but it is helpful. I also reference WP:WikiProject Albums/Sources for music topics. In addition, feel free to post questions or get second opinions if you are unsure about something at the WP:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. S0091 ( talk) 15:34, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
Can you please help and make the article pass guidelines? Even if you have to delete anything that doesn't work. AJ was all over ESPN and ABC national television this year and a face of the XFL there has to be a way to get him on wikipedia so he can match with the XFL Roughnecks page. You can see interviews and commercials on YouTube from ESPNs account and there are many articles online about him I just don't know how to make it work for WP. 2600:1700:5970:1190:DD7B:4426:5713:35FB ( talk) 06:31, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello M4V3R1CK32, I'd like to debate your rejection reasons. The repeated declines are more indicative of my first time submission errors much more than sufficient notability. The new sources do increase notability and they mention the agency name, AGRC, which the article describes the name change in 2021.
I would appreciate if you would ignore the repeated rejections since they are from my misguided journey into wikipedia and take a fresh look at the submission knowing that AGRC was the original name which make the press releases much more relevant. Icsteveoh ( talk) 02:07, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello M4V3R1CK32. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of A.L. Gebhardt & Co., a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: all the Google News Archive references HTTP 404 because the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and its associated press companies successfully applied to their content removed from the Google News Archive in 2016. Thank you. User:Shirt58 ( talk) 🦘 09:15, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi, M4V3R1CK32! Thanks for all your great contributions to Wasteland (video game). It is my goal to one day have that article promoted to Good article status. Your edits certainly help make the case. Vivatheviva ( talk) 19:39, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your help on the article, Ed Bradley. After yourself doing your own Good Article Review, you started to edit the article itself in response to both your own feedback and that of others. Then, you re-nominated the article a 2nd time for GA consideration again. Your initiative and going the extra mile is most appreciated! Princessa Unicorn ( talk) 19:23, 20 February 2023 (UTC) |

You're receiving this message because you have reviewed or nominated a good article in the last year. |
On 2 August 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ed Bradley, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ed Bradley could get interviewees to divulge information with just his body language and facial expressions? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ed Bradley. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Ed Bradley), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hey, Maverick -- it's fantastic to see your enthusiasm for the backlog drive. Unfortunately, your quickfail for Morris Bishop isn't one I can give points for, as the points brought up in the review don't relate to quickfail criteria:
Again, thanks so much for your participation in the drive, and I hope not to put you off. GAN is a learning experience for the reviewer, as well as the nominator. If you have any questions about future reviews, I'm happy to help in any way I can. Vaticidal prophet 02:47, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
First off, a tip of the hat to Vaticidalprophet. I have a terrible memory for usernames, but "Vaticidalprophet" is unusually memorable, and the particular memory is a recent one, of me bitching about VP's choice of terminology for a candidate GA. In the circumstances it's particularly magnanimous of VP to (kind of) defend my wording.
Bishop has been dead for half a century. He was primarily a writer of fairly conscientious but popular nonfiction (to use a word that perhaps postdated him). It's rare for such books to live much beyond 20, and Bishop's are no exception. Bishop was also an unusually prolific writer of material with no academic/pedagogic pretences. Book reviews seem the best kind of source for his books (serious or otherwise) -- which isn't to say that my handling of them couldn't be improved. He seems to have had a serene academic and personal life: I know of no feuds, fisticuffs, scandals, drug addictions, illegitimate children, etc. I think it's proper for an article about such a person to be largely about his books. A division into "Books by Morris Bishop" and "Morris Bishop" (excepting the books) would be grotesque. The only individual work that I think would easily support its own good [small "g"!] article would be A History of Cornell, but I am not equipped to write it. I suppose that if pressed I could create AfD-resistant articles on other individual books, but I believe that WP already has too much of this kind of junk.
I'm warmly in favour of infoboxes for, say, chemical elements. They have their advantages for, say, baseball players, whose achievements can be quantified and compared. For academics, they're redundant at best: The infobox for Ludwig Wittgenstein mostly just repeats what can easily be found in the article, but also depends on seemingly undefined criteria for "notable" and "main". -- Hoary ( talk) 06:36, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

I am very active at DYK and I think you might consider nominating the article to be featured on the main page. If you do not know how to do it I can nominate it for you. I am thinking something about his being called the father of modern dairying like.
We can also explore other hooks - but it is a great way to have thousands of people see your article. What do you think? Lightburst ( talk) 23:43, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello M4V3R1CK32:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
Hi M4V3R1CK32, I noticed in your review you stated you were not sure about popmatters being RS but it is. I suggest installing User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/CiteHighlighter.js which highlights sources green/orange/red based on WP:RSP or Wikiproject documentation. Of course this does not mean a "green lit" source contributes to notability but it is helpful. I also reference WP:WikiProject Albums/Sources for music topics. In addition, feel free to post questions or get second opinions if you are unsure about something at the WP:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. S0091 ( talk) 15:34, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
Can you please help and make the article pass guidelines? Even if you have to delete anything that doesn't work. AJ was all over ESPN and ABC national television this year and a face of the XFL there has to be a way to get him on wikipedia so he can match with the XFL Roughnecks page. You can see interviews and commercials on YouTube from ESPNs account and there are many articles online about him I just don't know how to make it work for WP. 2600:1700:5970:1190:DD7B:4426:5713:35FB ( talk) 06:31, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello M4V3R1CK32, I'd like to debate your rejection reasons. The repeated declines are more indicative of my first time submission errors much more than sufficient notability. The new sources do increase notability and they mention the agency name, AGRC, which the article describes the name change in 2021.
I would appreciate if you would ignore the repeated rejections since they are from my misguided journey into wikipedia and take a fresh look at the submission knowing that AGRC was the original name which make the press releases much more relevant. Icsteveoh ( talk) 02:07, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
