Hello, first I apologize if I'm not communicating to you in the correct way, however there were recently made edits to NY Mets Pitcher Kevin McGowan's page. They were removed due to not having any sources, understandably. I can not provide any real citations, however if you can look where my IP address is from (If that's even a thing) you'd see I'm in Nashua, NH where Kevin is from. In fact, he was siting next to me when I made the edits. I can see if I have any old photos laying around that I can upload if it helps prove the info. Thank you!

Hi RileyBugz, I see you declined the above, which puzzles me. For any article on WP:AFC, the passing criteria, if the article is going to deleted in mainspace, then it should be passed. The guy easily passes WP:PROF. Here is his stats from GScholar.
Citations 10099 2344 h-index 36 23 i10-index 50 36
Cited 10099 times. Easily passing WP:BIO. The criteria is, even if it had no references and it is notable, it should pass WP:AFC, as they can be added later. Next please be more careful. scope_creep ( talk) 16:48, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
If this article were nominated for deletion at WP:AFD, would it be likely to survive?
The guy is also memeber of the Royal Society, which is the premier scientific society in the UK. By any definition of WP:AFD, it would have passed an automatic snow keep by everybody. The whole process of WP:AFC is to gate to check articles for notabilty. If they are verifiable, then pushed on. If they are not verifiable, then tag them. It took me a bit, until I went through this process as well. I was hoping to have shiny brand articles out of it, fully ref's and linked, but doesn't work like that. It is much simpler, it is a gate. scope_creep ( talk) 17:05, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello RileyBugz,
I noticed that you are considering a run for administrator, and I am glad to hear that. I just want to offer a friendly and entirely optional suggestion. There are some editors who object to to signatures that include text not in the Latin alphabet, since they cannot read that text. You may want to think about revising your signature to remove a minor reason to oppose. The decision is your, of course. Good luck! Cullen328 Let's discuss it 17:15, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2017 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing. I submitted a question elsewhere, I believe. Very new to the Wikipedia environment. My question is, would it be possible to get a bit more detail or any tips as far as what you think I should remove from the article? A company that is similar to FBBC has a Wiki page and they ultimately have the same kind of content and we even have similar links ->
Orange Theory Fitness. I essentially utilizes Orange Theory's Wiki to create a draft for FBBC. Also, is the graph on the right with the information generated by Wikipedia or is that something we create when viewing the Orange Theory Fitness wiki page, includes their logo?
Hi you deleted the section I added to honey in Islam stating that I had unreliable sources. I wanted to ask what about my source was unreliable. It's a book and I believe it's a reliable source. Thank you

Hi. Thanks for setting up that redirect from Nok (genus) to P. hualon. I've followed up an earlier note I left on the talk page of the article creator, asking them to supply full details of any published research which demonstrates a legitimately publish new taxon. The abstract mentions a new genus, but doesn't name it od demonstrate a validly published name. If they can't do that, then I'm sure you'd agree the page and redirect needs deleting entirely, as it otherwise gives validity to a genus which may not exist. Conversely, it may be that evidence emerges which shows a valid monotypic genus. I'll keep you informed of any response (or otherwise) that I may get.

Hello RileyBugz, thank you for your efforts reviewing New Page and AfC submissions and your support for the ACTRIAL initiative.
The conclusion to the ACTRIAL report commissioned by the Wikimedia Foundation strongly reiterates our long-time on going requirements for the NPP and AfC processes to be improved. Within minutes of the trial being switched off, the feed was swamped with inappropriate creations and users are being blocked already.
This is now the moment to continue to collaborate with the WMF and their developers to bring the entire Curation system up to date by making a firm commitment to addressing the
list of requirements to the excellent suite of tools the WMF developed for Curation. Some of these are already listed at Phabricator but may need a boost.
The conclusions also make some recommendations for AfC.

In your review of Draft:Fixico, you wrote "For example, you should not source anything to YouTube, as it is not a reliable source." How about this example: in covering the first human landing on the moon, Walter Cronkite said, "... it still seems like a dream." [1] In this case, the words are both written and in the video, but it would be a valid reference even if they were in only one or the other. — Anomalocaris ( talk) 22:52, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

>ANN isn't a reliable source Ah yes, a news source, ANN News, isn't reliable- despite the fact that everyone uses it. Ah yes, because it is impossible for me to find other sources that include information on the studio Ah yes, because there aren't other Japanese animation studios that have FEWER sources, something like Nexus. This removal is actually pretty unnecessary. There are pages on Pine Jam, TROYCA, or GoHands? Dude, ANN News is a reliable source because they take information from official sources, in Japanese, and translate them into English for the English speaking audience. The other studios I mentioned aren't deserving of deletion either. Every time you delete VOLN's page I'm just going to remake it with more sources and more information. Sarcataclysmal ( talk) 01:03, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Another cool thing to mention is, well, it doesn't really need a stated reason for why it's important. I mean, some anime companies do, some don't. In this case, it really doesn't need it. The works its done, the ones that are linked on Wikipedia, is pretty much enough reason. Having worked on multiple series is info enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarcataclysmal ( talk • contribs) 01:07, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi RileyBugz, I see you declined the above, which puzzles me. For any article on WP:AFC, the passing criteria, if the article is going to deleted in mainspace, then it should be passed. The guy easily passes WP:PROF. Here is his stats from GScholar.
Citations 10099 2344 h-index 36 23 i10-index 50 36
Cited 10099 times. Easily passing WP:BIO. The criteria is, even if it had no references and it is notable, it should pass WP:AFC, as they can be added later. Next please be more careful. scope_creep ( talk) 16:48, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
If this article were nominated for deletion at WP:AFD, would it be likely to survive?
The guy is also memeber of the Royal Society, which is the premier scientific society in the UK. By any definition of WP:AFD, it would have passed an automatic snow keep by everybody. The whole process of WP:AFC is to gate to check articles for notabilty. If they are verifiable, then pushed on. If they are not verifiable, then tag them. It took me a bit, until I went through this process as well. I was hoping to have shiny brand articles out of it, fully ref's and linked, but doesn't work like that. It is much simpler, it is a gate. scope_creep ( talk) 17:05, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi, can you expand that stub a bit, it's a bit short for the list at present. Thanks for creating it though.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:00, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello RileyBugz,
I noticed that you are considering a run for administrator, and I am glad to hear that. I just want to offer a friendly and entirely optional suggestion. There are some editors who object to to signatures that include text not in the Latin alphabet, since they cannot read that text. You may want to think about revising your signature to remove a minor reason to oppose. The decision is your, of course. Good luck! Cullen328 Let's discuss it 17:15, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing. I submitted a question elsewhere, I believe. Very new to the Wikipedia environment. My question is, would it be possible to get a bit more detail or any tips as far as what you think I should remove from the article? A company that is similar to FBBC has a Wiki page and they ultimately have the same kind of content and we even have similar links ->
Orange Theory Fitness. I essentially utilizes Orange Theory's Wiki to create a draft for FBBC. Also, is the graph on the right with the information generated by Wikipedia or is that something we create when viewing the Orange Theory Fitness wiki page, includes their logo?
Hi you deleted the section I added to honey in Islam stating that I had unreliable sources. I wanted to ask what about my source was unreliable. It's a book and I believe it's a reliable source. Thank you

I have reworked the article, included sources from different news sites and removed anything that sounds subjective. I removed anything that looked like promotional text. Hopefully this is better suited for Wikipedia. — Preceding

Hi. Thanks for setting up that redirect from Nok (genus) to P. hualon. I've followed up an earlier note I left on the talk page of the article creator, asking them to supply full details of any published research which demonstrates a legitimately publish new taxon. The abstract mentions a new genus, but doesn't name it od demonstrate a validly published name. If they can't do that, then I'm sure you'd agree the page and redirect needs deleting entirely, as it otherwise gives validity to a genus which may not exist. Conversely, it may be that evidence emerges which shows a valid monotypic genus. I'll keep you informed of any response (or otherwise) that I may get.

Hi Rileybugz, do you wanna conom on Red-tailed tropicbird? I was in Norfolk Island recently and saw these close up. I didn't realise what I was looking at for a split second, then I'm thinking, "Hey, it's a tropicbird!!" I have some HANZAB stuff to add and given alot of it will be similar to the other one, it should be straightforward. Cas Liber ( talk · contribs) 21:45, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello RileyBugz, thank you for your efforts reviewing New Page and AfC submissions and your support for the ACTRIAL initiative.
The conclusion to the ACTRIAL report commissioned by the Wikimedia Foundation strongly reiterates our long-time on going requirements for the NPP and AfC processes to be improved. Within minutes of the trial being switched off, the feed was swamped with inappropriate creations and users are being blocked already.
This is now the moment to continue to collaborate with the WMF and their developers to bring the entire Curation system up to date by making a firm commitment to addressing the
list of requirements to the excellent suite of tools the WMF developed for Curation. Some of these are already listed at Phabricator but may need a boost.
The conclusions also make some recommendations for AfC.
A place to discuss these issues initially is

On 7 April 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Red-tailed tropicbird, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the red-tailed tropicbird (pictured) eats mainly flying fish and squid? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Red-tailed tropicbird. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Red-tailed tropicbird), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

In your review of Draft:Fixico, you wrote "For example, you should not source anything to YouTube, as it is not a reliable source." How about this example: in covering the first human landing on the moon, Walter Cronkite said, "... it still seems like a dream." [1] In this case, the words are both written and in the video, but it would be a valid reference even if they were in only one or the other. — Anomalocaris ( talk) 22:52, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

>ANN isn't a reliable source Ah yes, a news source, ANN News, isn't reliable- despite the fact that everyone uses it. Ah yes, because it is impossible for me to find other sources that include information on the studio Ah yes, because there aren't other Japanese animation studios that have FEWER sources, something like Nexus. This removal is actually pretty unnecessary. There are pages on Pine Jam, TROYCA, or GoHands? Dude, ANN News is a reliable source because they take information from official sources, in Japanese, and translate them into English for the English speaking audience. The other studios I mentioned aren't deserving of deletion either. Every time you delete VOLN's page I'm just going to remake it with more sources and more information.

Another cool thing to mention is, well, it doesn't really need a stated reason for why it's important. I mean, some anime companies do, some don't. In this case, it really doesn't need it. The works its done, the ones that are linked on Wikipedia, is pretty much enough reason. Having worked on multiple series is info enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarcataclysmal ( talk • contribs) 01:07, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
