Dear SITH,
Thank you for the input you provided on my draft article on the Department of Classics at King's College London. I'd like to respectfully draw your attention to the following points and am happily open to any feedback:
I. The submission was declined due to a perceived overlap with the main university article for King's College London. I have searched through this article and was unable to find any references to the academic division in question. Indeed, the word 'classics' itself only shows up twice in the entire existing article, both in the same paragraph under a sub heading titled 'Rankings and reputation' which does not contain any information pertaining to the department, its history or its activities.
II. The only section in which I was able to find any overlap between the submission and the main university article was a small sub heading titled 'Foundation', which I included to lay some explanatory background information for the article before delving into any department-specific history. There is a possibility this section was misinterpreted as an overlap running through the entire article. Subsequent sections such as the Koraes Chair, Second World War, Modern Era, Location, Traditions and People all feature new information not currently listed anywhere on Wikipedia. These include architectural and geographical markers for the department, as well as noteworthy ties to other historical places or ideas with already existing articles (such as the Roman Baths on Strand Lane, prominent individual academics and authors from the 1800s onwards, a general context for the existence and continued endowment of the Koraes Chair, and so on). It is my confident judgement that all of this is department-specific information that is markedly unsuitable for the main university article (which appears if anything to make a point of not touching on the specifics of any individual faculty or department too much).
III. Judging by precedents set by separate articles on the Dickson Poon School of Law, Department of Philosophy, Department of War Studies, Digital Classicist and other prominent and old divisions within King's College (and the wider University of London when considering UCL departments and centres too), I believe the Classics Department has sufficient content by way of history and significance to warrant the creation of its own separate article in line with these other divisions.
IV. I have, in any case, also slightly modified the Foundation section to tailor it more specifically to the history of the Classics Department.
Please let me know if you would be happy to reconsider the submission!
Kind regards,

Greetings! On Draft talk:Volapük Wikipedia, you wrote: "[...] it's clear that the Wikipedia namespace is the wrong place for it". Would you care to explain what you mean by that? In my book, draftspace is meant for articles that aren't ready for inclusion in mainspace, but to be quite frank, I can't see how that would be the case here, especially comparing it to the 124 articles that are currently in Category:Wikipedias by language.

Please take two minutes to read about her in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Washington Post. She is a rising star in the opera world and it's crazy she doesn't have a Wikipedia page. Thank you!

With regard to the DJ Ferret article that you rejected for lack of notability, the cited appearances on Fox News and The Colbert Report would appear to satisfy Wikipedia's published criteria for notability, specifically: "12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network." Additional TV appearances can be cited if necessary but they seemed redundant at the time of writing. Further, the cited Billboard Magazine article would support "7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability."

Hi. I wrote (or tried to write) the James Jones White article, this is my first. Should I have put each paragraph in a separate heading? Can you tell me what furthers sources I need to include?

I must be really dense, I still don't understand this. Nearly every article I've ever read uses quotes from their sources. (granted, I haven't read them all). What is wrong with a quote, if the source is cited as it is in my and other articles? It lends credibility to and describes the subject of the article, and the source is a published book available to the public. The resolution is in the records of the University. Do I need to go back to the book and enter the sources they used as my sources? What paragraphs of that resolution could be omitted without detracting from it? Please tell me how to edit this to wiki's specifications. I really want to do this. -- galndixie ( talk) 18:29, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
12-12 on both sides? [1] I count 13 on support side and 11 on oppose (one person had written "oppose" in bold in two different comments). Many of the oppose !votes were not disputing the merits of the RM but opposing the request because they claimed they recently had one. Rest of the oppose !votes were basing the argument which actually supports the WP:COMMONNAME. I mean you have to read the "oppose" !votes carefully because even the last 3 ones, [2] [3] [4] are supporting the argument which was made in my proposal. Reliable sources do call it "Killing" not "Assassination", which was still just a mere speculation.
It is not even about vote-count but strength of the argument. Can you describe which oppose !vote was good enough to override WP:COMMONNAME? Rzvas ( talk) 18:42, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
my tally, that twenty-four !votes. By using !vote, I am implying that I have read the arguments because polling isn't a substitute for discussion. However, a rough head count, especially when both sides are using the same policy to support different sides with arguments of equal strength, can be helpful. You cite Panam2014's oppose as
supporting the argument [...] in [your] proposalbut it isn't. It's opposing the move and applying the same logic but coming to a different conclusion. There is an argument to be made, and was extensively made at the aforementioned discussion, that WP:COMMONNAME should also consider the reliability of the sources. If you don't like the closure, feel free to take it to move review, but I have given an in-depth explanation supporting the closure so I would advise you to simply wait for a month or so and see if your argument has been strengthened in the meantime.

The requested move of the article " CCTV New Year's Gala" released on 29 December 2018 was closed too speedily. There is no enough discussion to the requested move. In addition, many page-moved discussion released near 29 December 2018 are relisted in recent days, like " Talk:Auschwitz concentration camp#Requested move 29 December 2018", in order to attract other users to make their comments there. So can you reopen and relist the page-moved discussion of the article " CCTV New Year's Gala" in order to get enough discussion?

Hello StraussInTheHouse, I suggest reopening the move discussion you closed as simply "no consensus" at Talk:Kildin Sami orthography and/or adding more discussion to the close. This is a complicated case that requires more cleanup, because there were a large number of associated moves performed just before the opening of this request that would need to be reverted in the event of "no consensus." Since it does not appear that you determined which or processed these after the close, please consider letting the request move into the backlog naturally until someone is able to take care of it.

Dear administrator,
I'm writing in regard of the article of "The Baltic Center for Investigative Journalism Re:Baltica" I created today. Do to the copyrights it’s deleted. I assume that it's because of my lack of experience.
I work for Re:Baltica and it was my responsibility to make Wikipedia article about organization. Duo to the fact that it's important and necessary for media organization to have Wikipedia page to prove credibility on Facebook posts.
I spent 9 hours today to make this article and for sure I used information from Re:Baltica webpage, because that information also was added and created by me. It's a basic information about Re:Baltica which we use in all our accounts - these are facts and it’s almost impossible to put them different in my own words.
I understand that I could quote them, but it would not look appropriate, since this article has been made as a basic information about media. Would it be possible to restore the page, so I could prevent the mistakes? I've been working on this article all Sunday and tomorrow I must show the result of my work to colleagues - I at least need to have the draft, unpublished material to show them.
I really hope that it's possible to restore the article and I'll be allowed to make changes. Best regards, Liene Sandalane

Please reopen the Raul Julia RM and leave it for an admin to close. In ictu oculi ( talk) 18:01, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
I looked at reopening this as an uninvolved admin, and was a bit surprised at what I found. Have a look.
Just to clarify, I'm assuming this is about Talk:Raul Julia#Requested move 8 December 2018. Ah yes, the diacritic conversation again!
I did a quick scan of just the oppose !votes (not the support or the discussion) and based just on that scan would feel justified in discarding each and every one of them were I the closer. (I would need to also look at the sometimes lengthy discussion of course, in case some valid point were to have been made there.) The requester here of the reopen, for example, said Puerto Rico is Spanish speaking, so are all the BLP articles. [5] (And I note no edit summary, which is unlike them and made the diff hard to find, but that's a minor point.) But WP:BLP doesn't seem relevant, nor does Spanish. Am I missing something?
And I find a similar lack of valid rationale in every one of the oppose !votes, as I said above, which was enough for me to abandon the plan to immediately reopen, and doesn't look too promising for a move review either
In view of all this and SITH's planned return, In ictu oculi, you waited almost a fortnight after the close before coming here, are you happy to now wait for SITH's return? (And sorry for the multiple pings.) Andrewa ( talk) 06:25, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Tnank you for your close. After moves that involve a change in topic structure (typically when the move involves moving a dab page to or from a primary title), it's usually a good idea to fix any redirects (so they point to the correct article) or links from dab pages or hatnotes. At the minimum, the link on a dab page should be updated, so that we don't have situations like this, where the article previously at the primary title has all of a sudden become inaccessible.

Hi StraussInThe House! Thanks for reading the article I submitted ( /info/en/?search=Draft:5050x2020). Would it be possible to get some specific feedback to improve it so it can get approved?
I modelled the formatting of the article on articles about similar social movements that straddle the social media and irl worlds, and describe impactful international campaigns for social change (MeToo, the Ice Bucket Challenge, YesAllWomen etc).
The note says that articles “should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources”. The article contains 40+ references, sourced only from leading media outlets (such as the New York Times, the LA Times, The Guardian, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter), and government agencies in several countries.
The note also mentions refraining from “peacock language”. Would you mind clarifying and specifying what should be edited? The article currently doesn’t contain any adjectives or descriptive terms. It does not include any hyperbolic terms such as “leading”, “major”, “renowned”, etc, and no flowery language. It simply reports facts in a neutral tone, all backed up with independent, published sources.
I've read your FAQ, and don't see that it has the issues you list, but clearly you're of a different opinion, so I'd be grateful to hear where you think it goes wrong.
Any help and guidance would be appreciated. Thanks! Petra PetraPetraK ( talk) 18:49, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
inspire and empoweris used. While that may indeed be its purpose, we try and write in a neutral style using less loaded words. Of course, social activist movements are made to right great wrongs but we have to try and just document it impartially. Parts of the draft, that included, read a little bit like a mission statement.

Hello,
I am not vandalizing anything. I was told by MrOllie that Wikipedia is a big place with a lot to do, and not enough volunteers to do the work. So I shouldn't assume that the existence of badly sourced stuff that no one else has noticed yet means that he endorse it or that I should emulate it. I did some relevant changes to a certain wiki page (private loans) and I was also told that Wikipedia generally does not source information about products to the companies that are marketing those same products. So, on the bare metal server wiki page Rackspace is basically promoting their services because they offer bare metal servers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.106.124.191 ( talk) 16:31, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, that Marie von Erody article I submitted [6] was a straight up translation of the wiki.de article on the subject. I didn't do anything to it at all. The subject is notable; in that she provided Beethoven a house, they lived together and the place is now a Beethoven museum. What the article needs: is to have the citations formatted against the text (something the de. editors don't have to do, apparently...) or find the "books" that have been cited and do it myself (unlikely, even though I have some facility with the German language).
I might find something in Beethoven letters published online by the Gutenberg society, but... Have you ever read Beethoven's letters? What a total boring, suck-up he was. Glad he spent more time lashing notes to a page. Anyways, back burner stuff for me. Thanks for the time you spent looking at it. Regards, Hamster Sandwich ( talk) 22:42, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi there.
Back in September I began work on an article (about the coat of arms of the Austrian Empire) in my personal sandbox, specifically Alphathon/sandbox2, then got distracted by real life and left it in an incomplete state. I just went back to it today to do some more to it and noticed that someone (user Aleguez70, who has no other edits on any MediaWiki project as far as I can tell – they may have registered purely to submit my sandboxed page) had, for whatever reason, decided to submit it by adding the {{ submit}} template. I have no idea who they are, why they did or how they found the page (I will be asking them). Then user Robert McClenon moved the page to the drafts namespace as it is the "Preferred location for AfC submissions" under the name Draft: Coat of Arms of Austria-Hungary (which is, incidentally, incorrect, as the text talks about the arms of the pre-compromise Austrian Empire, not Austria-Hungary). Then, user Abelmoschus Esculentus declined it as an article with that name already existed in the main namespace, then reverted their declination one minute later without explanation. Finally, about a month later (a little over a day ago as I type this), you declined it again for the same reason.
Anyway, all the stuff about it being declined is really neither here nor there, as it was mislabelled, incomplete and perhaps a bit "essay-like" anyway. (Even given the mislabelling I have no real issue with it being merged into Coat of arms of Austria-Hungary once it is finished instead of having its own article if that is preferable.) What I want to do is move the page back to my sandbox (edit history and all, at least up to my last edit) until I have finished working on it. I am happy to do this myself; however, I have never used the draft feature/namespace before and don't really know the rules, how it works etc and didn't want to accidentally break any rules or step on anyone's toes. Since you clearly do know how it all works I thought you might be able to help. I suppose I'm sort of asking permission to move it back and checking if there's anything else I need to do (would I need to leave a redirect etc). If all else fails I can always just copy the contents back in, but I'd rather keep the edit history intact.
P.S. Jimmy is very distracting!

Dear SITH,
Thank you for the input you provided on my draft article on the Department of Classics at King's College London. I'd like to respectfully draw your attention to the following points and am happily open to any feedback:
I. The submission was declined due to a perceived overlap with the main university article for King's College London. I have searched through this article and was unable to find any references to the academic division in question. Indeed, the word 'classics' itself only shows up twice in the entire existing article, both in the same paragraph under a sub heading titled 'Rankings and reputation' which does not contain any information pertaining to the department, its history or its activities.
II. The only section in which I was able to find any overlap between the submission and the main university article was a small sub heading titled 'Foundation', which I included to lay some explanatory background information for the article before delving into any department-specific history. There is a possibility this section was misinterpreted as an overlap running through the entire article. Subsequent sections such as the Koraes Chair, Second World War, Modern Era, Location, Traditions and People all feature new information not currently listed anywhere on Wikipedia. These include architectural and geographical markers for the department, as well as noteworthy ties to other historical places or ideas with already existing articles (such as the Roman Baths on Strand Lane, prominent individual academics and authors from the 1800s onwards, a general context for the existence and continued endowment of the Koraes Chair, and so on). It is my confident judgement that all of this is department-specific information that is markedly unsuitable for the main university article (which appears if anything to make a point of not touching on the specifics of any individual faculty or department too much).
III. Judging by precedents set by separate articles on the Dickson Poon School of Law, Department of Philosophy, Department of War Studies, Digital Classicist and other prominent and old divisions within King's College (and the wider University of London when considering UCL departments and centres too), I believe the Classics Department has sufficient content by way of history and significance to warrant the creation of its own separate article in line with these other divisions.
IV. I have, in any case, also slightly modified the Foundation section to tailor it more specifically to the history of the Classics Department.
Please let me know if you would be happy to reconsider the submission!
Kind regards,

In my book, draftspace is meant for articles that aren't ready for inclusion in mainspace, but to be quite frank, I can't see how that would be the case here, especially comparing it to the 124 articles that are currently in Category:Wikipedias by language.

With regard to the DJ Ferret article that you rejected for lack of notability, the cited appearances on Fox News and The Colbert Report would appear to satisfy Wikipedia's published criteria for notability, specifically: "12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network." Additional TV appearances can be cited if necessary but they seemed redundant at the time of writing. Further, the cited Billboard Magazine article would support "7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability."

I must be really dense, I still don't understand this. Nearly every article I've ever read uses quotes from their sources. (granted, I haven't read them all). What is wrong with a quote, if the source is cited as it is in my and other articles? It lends credibility to and describes the subject of the article, and the source is a published book available to the public. The resolution is in the records of the University. Do I need to go back to the book and enter the sources they used as my sources? What paragraphs of that resolution could be omitted without detracting from it? Please tell me how to edit this to wiki's specifications. I really want to do this. -- galndixie ( talk) 18:29, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
12-12 on both sides? [1] I count 13 on support side and 11 on oppose (one person had written "oppose" in bold in two different comments). Many of the oppose !votes were not disputing the merits of the RM but opposing the request because they claimed they recently had one. Rest of the oppose !votes were basing the argument which actually supports the WP:COMMONNAME. I mean you have to read the "oppose" !votes carefully because even the last 3 ones, [2] [3] [4] are supporting the argument which was made in my proposal. Reliable sources do call it "Killing" not "Assassination", which was still just a mere speculation.
It is not even about vote-count but strength of the argument. Can you describe which oppose !vote was good enough to override WP:COMMONNAME? Rzvas ( talk) 18:42, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
my tally, that twenty-four !votes. By using !vote, I am implying that I have read the arguments because polling isn't a substitute for discussion. However, a rough head count, especially when both sides are using the same policy to support different sides with arguments of equal strength, can be helpful. You cite Panam2014's oppose as
supporting the argument [...] in [your] proposalbut it isn't. It's opposing the move and applying the same logic but coming to a different conclusion. There is an argument to be made, and was extensively made at the aforementioned discussion, that WP:COMMONNAME should also consider the reliability of the sources. If you don't like the closure, feel free to take it to move review, but I have given an in-depth explanation supporting the closure so I would advise you to simply wait for a month or so and see if your argument has been strengthened in the meantime.

Hello StraussInTheHouse, I suggest reopening the move discussion you closed as simply "no consensus" at Talk:Kildin Sami orthography and/or adding more discussion to the close. This is a complicated case that requires more cleanup, because there were a large number of associated moves performed just before the opening of this request that would need to be reverted in the event of "no consensus." Since it does not appear that you determined which or processed these after the close, please consider letting the request move into the backlog naturally until someone is able to take care of it.

Dear administrator,
I'm writing in regard of the article of "The Baltic Center for Investigative Journalism Re:Baltica" I created today. Do to the copyrights it’s deleted. I assume that it's because of my lack of experience.
I work for Re:Baltica and it was my responsibility to make Wikipedia article about organization. Duo to the fact that it's important and necessary for media organization to have Wikipedia page to prove credibility on Facebook posts.
I spent 9 hours today to make this article and for sure I used information from Re:Baltica webpage, because that information also was added and created by me. It's a basic information about Re:Baltica which we use in all our accounts - these are facts and it’s almost impossible to put them different in my own words.
I understand that I could quote them, but it would not look appropriate, since this article has been made as a basic information about media. Would it be possible to restore the page, so I could prevent the mistakes? I've been working on this article all Sunday and tomorrow I must show the result of my work to colleagues - I at least need to have the draft, unpublished material to show them.
I really hope that it's possible to restore the article and I'll be allowed to make changes. Best regards, Liene Sandalane

Please reopen the Raul Julia RM and leave it for an admin to close. In ictu oculi ( talk) 18:01, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
I looked at reopening this as an uninvolved admin, and was a bit surprised at what I found. Have a look.
Just to clarify, I'm assuming this is about Talk:Raul Julia#Requested move 8 December 2018. Ah yes, the diacritic conversation again!
I did a quick scan of just the oppose !votes (not the support or the discussion) and based just on that scan would feel justified in discarding each and every one of them were I the closer. (I would need to also look at the sometimes lengthy discussion of course, in case some valid point were to have been made there.) The requester here of the reopen, for example, said Puerto Rico is Spanish speaking, so are all the BLP articles. [5] (And I note no edit summary, which is unlike them and made the diff hard to find, but that's a minor point.) But WP:BLP doesn't seem relevant, nor does Spanish. Am I missing something?
And I find a similar lack of valid rationale in every one of the oppose !votes, as I said above, which was enough for me to abandon the plan to immediately reopen, and doesn't look too promising for a move review either
In view of all this and SITH's planned return, In ictu oculi, you waited almost a fortnight after the close before coming here, are you happy to now wait for SITH's return? (And sorry for the multiple pings.) Andrewa ( talk) 06:25, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Tnank you for your close. After moves that involve a change in topic structure (typically when the move involves moving a dab page to or from a primary title), it's usually a good idea to fix any redirects (so they point to the correct article) or links from dab pages or hatnotes. At the minimum, the link on a dab page should be updated, so that we don't have situations like this, where the article previously at the primary title has all of a sudden become inaccessible.

Hi StraussInThe House! Thanks for reading the article I submitted ( /info/en/?search=Draft:5050x2020). Would it be possible to get some specific feedback to improve it so it can get approved?
I modelled the formatting of the article on articles about similar social movements that straddle the social media and irl worlds, and describe impactful international campaigns for social change (MeToo, the Ice Bucket Challenge, YesAllWomen etc).
The note says that articles “should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources”. The article contains 40+ references, sourced only from leading media outlets (such as the New York Times, the LA Times, The Guardian, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter), and government agencies in several countries.
The note also mentions refraining from “peacock language”. Would you mind clarifying and specifying what should be edited? The article currently doesn’t contain any adjectives or descriptive terms. It does not include any hyperbolic terms such as “leading”, “major”, “renowned”, etc, and no flowery language. It simply reports facts in a neutral tone, all backed up with independent, published sources.
I've read your FAQ, and don't see that it has the issues you list, but clearly you're of a different opinion, so I'd be grateful to hear where you think it goes wrong.
Any help and guidance would be appreciated. Thanks! Petra PetraPetraK ( talk) 18:49, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
inspire and empoweris used. While that may indeed be its purpose, we try and write in a neutral style using less loaded words.

Thank you. So Why 13:31, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello, this was not an article that I created, I purely created a redirect to Albanian diaspora. As it would appear from the history, an anonymous user created the page. I'm just clarifying because I do not have any opinion in this discussion, and I do not have a particular opinion on what should happen to the page. Jerome501 ( talk) 15:31, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello StraussInTheHouse, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Certified General Accountants Association of British Columbia, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 01:14, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
Hey there - thanks for your help and comments on the Festicket draft, it is much appreciated. Do you think the extra references I have added are enough to prove notability for the article? Some of the articles you linked to were too promotional in my opinion to add in as extra references, but I did manage to add in a few that were factual and hopefully notable enough. Thanks again. -- Susannaclarepr ( talk) 16:18, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for the snow closure at the 2019 Cricket World Cup RM. As an univolved editor, please could you take a look at this similar case, which was started by the same IP editor. Many thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 14:14, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for reviewing my draft. Regarding your rejection due to source concerns in the Camp Farband draft, are you concerned about the reliability of the Detroit Jewish News itself, or the fact that the archives are photographic rather than digitized text? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DawnBreaksOverMarblehead ( talk • contribs) 14:51, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Hey Strauss
I have added so many reliable references from established university professors and research articles. What else should I put up ? Ajmal ( talk) 15:04, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
I am not vandalizing anything. I was told by MrOllie that Wikipedia is a big place with a lot to do, and not enough volunteers to do the work. So I shouldn't assume that the existence of badly sourced stuff that no one else has noticed yet means that he endorse it or that I should emulate it. I did some relevant changes to a certain wiki page (private loans) and I was also told that Wikipedia generally does not source information about products to the companies that are marketing those same products. So, on the bare metal server wiki page Rackspace is basically promoting their services because they offer bare metal servers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.106.124.191 ( talk) 16:31, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi! I've declined your speedy nomination of this, as the four sources you listed all related to the Iranian poet Majid Naficy, and I imagine there's been some mix-up? Did you intend to nominate Draft:Majid Naficy for speedy deletion, or were there other sources that you'd meant to list in relation to APM Monaco? Or both of the above?

Hi, you've tagged a number of revisions to HighScope for revdel. I'm not sure there is an issue as the page you gave as being the source of the material is a mirror of Wikipedia so it's that site copying Wikipedia not the other way round. If I've missed something please let me know and I'll take another look. Thanks. Nthep ( talk) 17:18, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi StraussInTheHouse Thanks for the review and for your tips. I've applied changes. Need to explain something, though. You've pointed the wiki page explaining the difference between a bulleted list and prose (regarding the incorrect use of the bullet points, I suppose). But I used the bullet points as requested by AngusWOOF: /info/en/?search=User_talk:AngusWOOF#about_the_declined_article:_Apeiron_-_Research_and_Publishing_Institute_for_Security_and_Defence_Studies
"Jakub Dusza, I would simplify the list of journals to a bullet list with single paragraph for each journal. I would also find more sources that show the journals are notable per WP:NJOURNAL and highlight that in the comments. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:43, 31 January 2019 (UTC)"

Yeah, that Marie von Erody article I submitted [6] was a straight up translation of the wiki.de article on the subject. I didn't do anything to it at all. The subject is notable; in that she provided Beethoven a house, they lived together and the place is now a Beethoven museum. What the article needs: is to have the citations formatted against the text (something the de. editors don't have to do, apparently...) or find the "books" that have been cited and do it myself (unlikely, even though I have some facility with the German language).
I might find something in Beethoven letters published online by the Gutenberg society, but... Have you ever read Beethoven's letters? What a total boring, suck-up he was. Glad he spent more time lashing notes to a page. Anyways, back burner stuff for me. Thanks for the time you spent looking at it. Regards, Hamster Sandwich ( talk) 22:42, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Strauss, My article was proposed for deletion, can you please revert it back so that I move that to a draft and make changes appropriately, and can you guide me how do I present my company's article in Wikipedia. this is the first article which I am doing. Kindly help me in contributing towards wiki.

Dear Strauss in the House, Welcome back! I have worked on the article Joshua Epstein (violinist) and was hoping you could look it over when you have a chance and maybe remove the tags if the first two sections conform to the citation guidelines now.

Hello!
My draft was rejected and I did not know if it's because the tone of voice because all the written story is genuinely created and not copied.
Could you please help me mark the issue so I redraft it?

Hi there.
Back in September I began work on an article (about the coat of arms of the Austrian Empire) in my personal sandbox, specifically Alphathon/sandbox2, then got distracted by real life and left it in an incomplete state. I just went back to it today to do some more to it and noticed that someone (user Aleguez70, who has no other edits on any MediaWiki project as far as I can tell – they may have registered purely to submit my sandboxed page) had, for whatever reason, decided to submit it by adding the {{ submit}} template. I have no idea who they are, why they did or how they found the page (I will be asking them). Then user Robert McClenon moved the page to the drafts namespace as it is the "Preferred location for AfC submissions" under the name Draft: Coat of Arms of Austria-Hungary (which is, incidentally, incorrect, as the text talks about the arms of the pre-compromise Austrian Empire, not Austria-Hungary). Then, user Abelmoschus Esculentus declined it as an article with that name already existed in the main namespace, then reverted their declination one minute later without explanation. Finally, about a month later (a little over a day ago as I type this), you declined it again for the same reason.
Anyway, all the stuff about it being declined is really neither here nor there, as it was mislabelled, incomplete and perhaps a bit "essay-like" anyway. (Even given the mislabelling I have no real issue with it being merged into Coat of arms of Austria-Hungary once it is finished instead of having its own article if that is preferable.) What I want to do is move the page back to my sandbox (edit history and all, at least up to my last edit) until I have finished working on it. I am happy to do this myself; however, I have never used the draft feature/namespace before and don't really know the rules, how it works etc and didn't want to accidentally break any rules or step on anyone's toes. Since you clearly do know how it all works I thought you might be able to help. I suppose I'm sort of asking permission to move it back and checking if there's anything else I need to do (would I need to leave a redirect etc). If all else fails I can always just copy the contents back in, but I'd rather keep the edit history intact.
P.S. Jimmy is very distracting!

Edit: I just thought you should know that I have also contacted Abelmoschus Esculentus about this and have now asked Aleguez70 why they submitted it in the first place. Alphathon / 'æɫ.fə.θɒn/ ( talk) 09:39, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Wondering why you relisted 'Make America Great Again', as there seems a clear no consensus to change the title and sources are consistent in upper casing it. Thanks. Randy Kryn ( talk) 17:45, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi StraussInTheHouse, Thank you for reviewing the page I edited, Catz 'n Dogz. I'm having trouble deciphering your feedback that accompanies the denial of the page. How can I move forward if the denial is "procedural"? I don't understand the Miscellany for Deletion designation, as the page has been significantly edited since the last draft was submitted. I would appreciate some real feedback about the denial of this page, please! Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brookiebabie ( talk • contribs) 10:56, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi StraussInTheHouse, I have implemented your comment 'Early life and education entirely unsourced, the majority of claims in Academic career are unsourced (paragraph starting "He produced extensively")' by putting reference to every sentence!
