Hello, so now it's been a while and I may ask if you might see the changes concerning the "Michael Tojner"-Draft. Would be my first major contribution. Of course I can change other things though I think I've cited enough independant sources. Best wishes, ole Shipyardworker. Shipyardworker ( talk) 15:29, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Logstash.Hi, you stated "a Google search doesn't turn up any other suitable sources on the subject." Did you also search using the name "岩里祐穂"? Was there nothing suitable on the Japanese Wikipedia entry https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B2%A9%E9%87%8C%E7%A5%90%E7%A9%82 ? There doesn't appear to be a English Wikipedia project related to Japanese creative professionals or music, nor help to meet notability criteria specific to Japan. Is there any help on the English Wikipedia for finding notable sources for Japanese subject matter, in particular Japanese creative professionals? For lyricists and composers, http://www.jasrac.or.jp might be one place to find information, e.g. http://www.jasrac.or.jp/sakka/vol_33/ and http://www.jasrac.or.jp/profile/prize/2009.html For authors, the National Diet Library found a few titles using the search: http://iss.ndl.go.jp/books?rft.au=%E5%B2%A9%E9%87%8C%E7%A5%90%E7%A9%82+%E8%91%97&search_mode=advanced Splouge ( talk) 10:44, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick reply. The deletion discussion page is now archived which is why I used this page to mention it. Google searches on the kanji name 岩里祐穂 find a few things, but based on /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_composers_and_lyricists and Yūho Iwasato being the lyricist of https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIECE_OF_MY_WISH which was a million seller and television show theme, and being the lyricist of many other notable songs, the page should meet notability requirements. How would I ask an admin to restore the page as a draft? Splouge ( talk) 15:32, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Would an award like http://www.jasrac.or.jp/profile/prize/2009.html (Silver award being for second highest royalties for a particular song in the year April 2008 to March 2009) be an achievement giving notability with reliable source? It seems to be difficult finding reliable sources for notability in Japan. Splouge ( talk) 15:52, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Would something like https://books.google.com.au/books?id=9A8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA59-IA3&lpg=PA59-IA3&dq=%22PIECE+OF+MY+WISH%22+million&source=bl&ots=-OnqpzlMBX&sig=aNbjHfWlRjdN8_rnN9o7lZWx7OM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjdgdm5yIXbAhWJWLwKHdM_BS8Q6AEIJzAA#v=onepage&q=%22PIECE%20OF%20MY%20WISH%22%20million&f=false qualify? It returns an image from an article in Billboard from which the particular issue and page can be obtained, which lists the sales for Piece of My Wish. The JASRAC Silver award 2009 to Genesis of Aquarion is mentioned at a third party source https://animeanime.jp/article/2009/05/20/4649.html Splouge ( talk)
For the article, I'm wanting to provide links to existing Wikipedia pages of artists, songs, anime or games that Yūho Iwasato provided lyrics for songs used in the anime or games or sung by the artists. Reliable sources for those could include JASRAC and recording company sites. Splouge ( talk) 04:04, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi BradV,
Thank you for reviewing the proposed Encyclopedia page.
Please take a look at the Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science By Allen Kent,page 300
at
As you can see,the term 'Proposed Encyclopedia', appears in the subject heading on page 300. (10th line of the left hand column).
This an accepted term used by some Library and Information science professionals (the Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science is a highly respected multi-volume reference work). Accordingly, I believe my contribution abides by the NO "Original research, synthesis, or made-up terms" rule. I will be continuing to improve this page and hope others engage with this as well.
My contribution references two major proposed encyclopedias, one by Francis Bacon and one by HG Wells. Modern science and professional scientific societies are based on the precepts provided by Francis Bacon.
I would appreciate more specificity on what you think is wrong or missing.
Thanks Emoritz2017 ( talk) 02:32, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi,
Thanks for reviewing the page about the Academy of behavioral medicine research (ABMR; /info/en/?search=Draft:Academy_of_Behavioral_Medicine_Research). I have updated references multiple times and to my knowledge, I have provided sources that discuss ABMR (its creation, mission, etc.) at length. This is mainly discussed in the book that I have cited. I really do not understand how to progress my submission at this stage. This is a Wikipedia page for a related organization in the behavioral medicine field ( /info/en/?search=Society_of_Behavioral_Medicine). I do not understand how/why this is ok to publish but not my page. I am quite frustrated and would appreciate any help in moving out of the draft phase and into the published one.

Regarding Genode ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Genode), sorry there are not many third party or reliable resources for Genode available. It has been around for ten years so. The article was not written by the core developers but by an independent person who was enthusiastic about it. The only independent resource I can provide is Wikipedia itself - for cases were Genode has been already mentioned/referenced by other people:
/info/en/?search=VirtualBox /info/en/?search=ARM_architecture /info/en/?search=ODROID /info/en/?search=Comparison_of_operating_systems /info/en/?search=List_of_operating_systems /info/en/?search=Rump_kernel /info/en/?search=Timeline_of_operating_systems /info/en/?search=List_of_software_under_the_GNU_AGPL /info/en/?search=L4_microkernel_family /info/en/?search=Libre_Computer_Project /info/en/?search=PandaBoard /info/en/?search=M-Labs
otherwise please have look at osnews.com and news.ycombinator.com or phoronix.com - just search for Genode.

Dear Bradv —
I do not understand which of my inline citations does not meet minimum standards, since all the scientific papers referenced are published in peer-reviewed journals.
The version of the Draft you reviewed contains 19 inline references; and while it is true that 9 of these have Legéndy as author or co-author, I maintain that this does not invalidate the contents. Since by definition the referees of the papers have judged their contents valid, there is third-party approval of the materials contained in them.
Please note that your colleague DGG, an editor of much seniority like yourself, already dealt with this draft (22 May, 18 May, 26 April). After I fixed the items listed in DGG’s rejection note (of 26 April), DGG made detailed corrections to the draft, moving a segment of it to the Wikipedia article on Helicons. The nature of the changes was such that they appeared to be steps preliminary to acceptance.
In my correspondence with DGG I listed three third-party references that explicitly affirm Legéndy’s contribution to Helicon theory, brain capacity estimation, and Neuronal spike train analysis.
OAKS222 ( talk) 15:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
I am a news journalist who interviews numerous people and I find Jeff Fisher's story to be extremely interesting and noteworthy as he's created an incredible independent high school sports media company that led to him being chosen by Skyhorse Publishing to author a Texas high school football book. My sources show why he is noteworthy and I don't understand why my submission was rejected. Trishhoffman ( talk) 17:29, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Yes - of course - Sorry!
Here are three secondary-source references to Legéndy’s contributions, two of them from the “Draft: Charles Rudolf Legéndy” and one from the Wikipedia article “Helicon (physics)” :
1. Hebb (1976) (Reference 16 in the Draft)
— Here Hebb, (who has the subject of two Wikipedia articles - “Donald O. Hebb” and “Hebbian theory”) cites the Legéndy (1967) paper (reference 13 in the Draft) in his Introduction. Hebb writes, “Legéndy (1967) according to Alwyn Scott (1975), has made a conservative estimate of the number of basic ideas or ideational components the brain is capable of developing: one thousand million. A "conservative" estimate which means that these basic ideas must be formed at the rate of one per second for 30 years, sleep included, or one per second for 45 years of waking time.”
2. Gourevich and Eggermont (2007) (Reference 9 in the Draft)
— These authors offer a critique of the “Poisson Surprise” test (of Legéndy and Salcman, reference 8 in the Draft), but put their critique in perspective in the Abstract, where they state: "the Poisson-surprise (PS) method [of Legéndy and Salcman, 1985] has been widely used for 20 years"; and in the "Discussion" section, which states: "The PS method ... has been the most widely used method of burst detection ..."
3. Boswell (1970) (Reference 10 in the Wikipedia article “Helicon (physics)”)
— Here Boswell (in the "Preface to the internet edition" section, dated August 2004) includes the sentence: "Charles Legendy, one of the real pioneers of the helicon game, ..."

Could you check Draft:Lu Yanzhi and consider moving it back to mainspace, please? Prisencolin is blocked and can't hit the request button, but I think I've done all I can there since it is not an area in which I have expertise and I can't read Chinese; however, I believe I've demonstrated notability and Wikidata still links the now-redlinked article with Chinese and French articles, so if it does look ok now, I don't think it should languish in draft space.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Smallbones( smalltalk) 18:53, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
I think your revert on Bitcoin was all wrong. As documented in the article, 8 Nobel laureates in economics say that bitcoin is a bubble, and other economists agree, as well as central bankers, investors like Warren Buffett and George Soros, and other important business execs as well. Don't you think we should inform our readers that this is the case? What could possibly be more important to a reader than to know that experts consider this to be a bubble, i.e. an investment where you're very likely to lose all your money? Please revert your reversion or explain your edit on the bitcoin talkpage. Smallbones( smalltalk) 19:06, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello,
Thanks for your review and comments. I'm a bit confused though. This subject meets the following notability criteria for academics:
5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon). - This would be the KF or Korea Foundation Chair, of which there are only three in the world and only one in Europe.
8. The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area. - This would be Millennium: Journal of International Studies, ranked top-20 in terms of impact in the field by International Relations scholars according to the TRIPS survey.
I have added some more information and more independent sources, but if there is anything else missing please let me know. I am aware that some of the sources are in Korean, which reflects the subject's field. But from what I understand the language of the source is not relevant.
Best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Koreabuff ( talk • contribs) 13:55, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello there,
Thank you for your review of the page for Brig. Gen. Vladimir Avdiaj, commander of the Albanian Air Forces. I have since added additional sources to support more statements made on the page, and have tried to keep a balance between primary and secondary sources. I do also believe that the use of primary sources on this page is warranted. A comparable page for someone like the USAF Chief of Staff David L. Goldfein only has 3 sources, all of which are primary, and only 2 of which constitute most of the sourcing for the article text. This existing and otherwise poorly referenced article is in article space, and is heavily linked to several categories and articles.
I see no reason why this article shouldn't be in article space. It meets notability guidelines, is comparatively well sourced, especially given the few available sources on this otherwise notable person, and adds to a lacking section of Wikipedia.
If you could give this draft ( [3]) a look again, I would definitely appreciate it.

Hello Bradv, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

I nominate Bradv to be Editor of the Week for a number of reasons. I first came across Bradv when he was trying to fix a tag and ended up mediating a dispute admirably. Looking at his contributions (10.000 edits plus), he spends the majority of his time helping, be it at the Teahouse or at Articles for Creation. He has been away for a while, but has recently returned and I'd like it known how much his work is appreciated.

I’m confused as to how Liza Koshy’s Wikipedia page was approved given the fact that it doesn’t abide by Wikipedia’s standards.
Is there an editor I can be directed to that can clarify?
Please advise.
Best, LaWr123 ( talk) 04:07, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for all of your help and support, Bradv. I will definitely take all of your comments into consideration and resubmit the page. I appreciate your timely responses and assistance. Have a great day. Congratulations on editor of the week!

I have declined the G12 tag on the above draft. As I noted on the talk page, the text that would normally constitute a copyright violation has been provided under a suitable free license, so that is not a rationale to delete the page. This is without comment on whether the page may or may not be suitable for deletion on other grounds. ~ Rob13 Talk 03:13, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Logstash.Hi, you stated "a Google search doesn't turn up any other suitable sources on the subject." Did you also search using the name "岩里祐穂"? Was there nothing suitable on the Japanese Wikipedia entry https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B2%A9%E9%87%8C%E7%A5%90%E7%A9%82 ? There doesn't appear to be a English Wikipedia project related to Japanese creative professionals or music, nor help to meet notability criteria specific to Japan. Is there any help on the English Wikipedia for finding notable sources for Japanese subject matter, in particular Japanese creative professionals? For lyricists and composers, http://www.jasrac.or.jp might be one place to find information, e.g. http://www.jasrac.or.jp/sakka/vol_33/ and http://www.jasrac.or.jp/profile/prize/2009.html For authors, the National Diet Library found a few titles using the search: http://iss.ndl.go.jp/books?rft.au=%E5%B2%A9%E9%87%8C%E7%A5%90%E7%A9%82+%E8%91%97&search_mode=advanced Splouge ( talk) 10:44, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick reply. The deletion discussion page is now archived which is why I used this page to mention it. Google searches on the kanji name 岩里祐穂 find a few things, but based on /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_composers_and_lyricists and Yūho Iwasato being the lyricist of https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIECE_OF_MY_WISH which was a million seller and television show theme, and being the lyricist of many other notable songs, the page should meet notability requirements. How would I ask an admin to restore the page as a draft? Splouge ( talk) 15:32, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Would an award like http://www.jasrac.or.jp/profile/prize/2009.html (Silver award being for second highest royalties for a particular song in the year April 2008 to March 2009) be an achievement giving notability with reliable source? It seems to be difficult finding reliable sources for notability in Japan. Splouge ( talk) 15:52, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Would something like https://books.google.com.au/books?id=9A8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA59-IA3&lpg=PA59-IA3&dq=%22PIECE+OF+MY+WISH%22+million&source=bl&ots=-OnqpzlMBX&sig=aNbjHfWlRjdN8_rnN9o7lZWx7OM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjdgdm5yIXbAhWJWLwKHdM_BS8Q6AEIJzAA#v=onepage&q=%22PIECE%20OF%20MY%20WISH%22%20million&f=false qualify? It returns an image from an article in Billboard from which the particular issue and page can be obtained, which lists the sales for Piece of My Wish. The JASRAC Silver award 2009 to Genesis of Aquarion is mentioned at a third party source https://animeanime.jp/article/2009/05/20/4649.html Splouge ( talk)
For the article, I'm wanting to provide links to existing Wikipedia pages of artists, songs, anime or games that Yūho Iwasato provided lyrics for songs used in the anime or games or sung by the artists.

Hi BradV,
Thank you for reviewing the proposed Encyclopedia page.
Please take a look at the Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science By Allen Kent,page 300
at
As you can see,the term 'Proposed Encyclopedia', appears in the subject heading on page 300. (10th line of the left hand column).
This an accepted term used by some Library and Information science professionals (the Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science is a highly respected multi-volume reference work). Accordingly, I believe my contribution abides by the NO "Original research, synthesis, or made-up terms" rule. I will be continuing to improve this page and hope others engage with this as well.
My contribution references two major proposed encyclopedias, one by Francis Bacon and one by HG Wells. Modern science and professional scientific societies are based on the precepts provided by Francis Bacon.
I would appreciate more specificity on what you think is wrong or missing.
Thanks Emoritz2017 ( talk) 02:32, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi,
Thanks for reviewing the page about the Academy of behavioral medicine research (ABMR; /info/en/?search=Draft:Academy_of_Behavioral_Medicine_Research). I have updated references multiple times and to my knowledge, I have provided sources that discuss ABMR (its creation, mission, etc.) at length. This is mainly discussed in the book that I have cited. I really do not understand how to progress my submission at this stage. This is a Wikipedia page for a related organization in the behavioral medicine field ( /info/en/?search=Society_of_Behavioral_Medicine). I do not understand how/why this is ok to publish but not my page. I am quite frustrated and would appreciate any help in moving out of the draft phase and into the published one.

Regarding Genode ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Genode), sorry there are not many third party or reliable resources for Genode available. It has been around for ten years so. The article was not written by the core developers but by an independent person who was enthusiastic about it. The only independent resource I can provide is Wikipedia itself - for cases were Genode has been already mentioned/referenced by other people:
/info/en/?search=VirtualBox /info/en/?search=ARM_architecture /info/en/?search=ODROID /info/en/?search=Comparison_of_operating_systems /info/en/?search=List_of_operating_systems /info/en/?search=Rump_kernel /info/en/?search=Timeline_of_operating_systems /info/en/?search=List_of_software_under_the_GNU_AGPL /info/en/?search=L4_microkernel_family /info/en/?search=Libre_Computer_Project /info/en/?search=PandaBoard /info/en/?search=M-Labs

Dear Bradv —
I do not understand which of my inline citations does not meet minimum standards, since all the scientific papers referenced are published in peer-reviewed journals.
The version of the Draft you reviewed contains 19 inline references; and while it is true that 9 of these have Legéndy as author or co-author, I maintain that this does not invalidate the contents. Since by definition the referees of the papers have judged their contents valid, there is third-party approval of the materials contained in them.
Please note that your colleague DGG, an editor of much seniority like yourself, already dealt with this draft (22 May, 18 May, 26 April). After I fixed the items listed in DGG’s rejection note (of 26 April), DGG made detailed corrections to the draft, moving a segment of it to the Wikipedia article on Helicons. The nature of the changes was such that they appeared to be steps preliminary to acceptance.
In my correspondence with DGG I listed three third-party references that explicitly affirm Legéndy’s contribution to Helicon theory, brain capacity estimation, and Neuronal spike train analysis.
OAKS222 ( talk) 15:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
I am a news journalist who interviews numerous people and I find Jeff Fisher's story to be extremely interesting and noteworthy as he's created an incredible independent high school sports media company that led to him being chosen by Skyhorse Publishing to author a Texas high school football book. My sources show why he is noteworthy and I don't understand why my submission was rejected. Trishhoffman ( talk) 17:29, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Yes - of course - Sorry!
Here are three secondary-source references to Legéndy’s contributions, two of them from the “Draft: Charles Rudolf Legéndy” and one from the Wikipedia article “Helicon (physics)” :
1. Hebb (1976) (Reference 16 in the Draft)
— Here Hebb, (who has the subject of two Wikipedia articles - “Donald O. Hebb” and “Hebbian theory”) cites the Legéndy (1967) paper (reference 13 in the Draft) in his Introduction. Hebb writes, “Legéndy (1967) according to Alwyn Scott (1975), has made a conservative estimate of the number of basic ideas or ideational components the brain is capable of developing: one thousand million. A "conservative" estimate which means that these basic ideas must be formed at the rate of one per second for 30 years, sleep included, or one per second for 45 years of waking time.”
2. Gourevich and Eggermont (2007) (Reference 9 in the Draft)
— These authors offer a critique of the “Poisson Surprise” test (of Legéndy and Salcman, reference 8 in the Draft), but put their critique in perspective in the Abstract, where they state: "the Poisson-surprise (PS) method [of Legéndy and Salcman, 1985] has been widely used for 20 years"; and in the "Discussion" section, which states: "The PS method ... has been the most widely used method of burst detection ..."
3. Boswell (1970) (Reference 10 in the Wikipedia article “Helicon (physics)”)
— Here Boswell (in the "Preface to the internet edition" section, dated August 2004) includes the sentence: "Charles Legendy, one of the real pioneers of the helicon game, ..."

Prisencolin is blocked and can't hit the request button, but I think I've done all I can there since it is not an area in which I have expertise and I can't read Chinese; however, I believe I've demonstrated notability and Wikidata still links the now-redlinked article with Chinese and French articles, so if it does look ok now, I don't think it should languish in draft space.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system.

What could possibly be more important to a reader than to know that experts consider this to be a bubble, i.e. an investment where you're very likely to lose all your money?

Hello,
Thanks for your review and comments. I'm a bit confused though. This subject meets the following notability criteria for academics:
5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon). - This would be the KF or Korea Foundation Chair, of which there are only three in the world and only one in Europe.
8. The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area. - This would be Millennium: Journal of International Studies, ranked top-20 in terms of impact in the field by International Relations scholars according to the TRIPS survey.
I have added some more information and more independent sources, but if there is anything else missing please let me know. I am aware that some of the sources are in Korean, which reflects the subject's field. But from what I understand the language of the source is not relevant.
Best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Koreabuff ( talk • contribs) 13:55, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello there,
Thank you for your review of the page for Brig. Gen. Vladimir Avdiaj, commander of the Albanian Air Forces. I have since added additional sources to support more statements made on the page, and have tried to keep a balance between primary and secondary sources. I do also believe that the use of primary sources on this page is warranted. A comparable page for someone like the USAF Chief of Staff David L. Goldfein only has 3 sources, all of which are primary, and only 2 of which constitute most of the sourcing for the article text. This existing and otherwise poorly referenced article is in article space, and is heavily linked to several categories and articles.
I see no reason why this article shouldn't be in article space. It meets notability guidelines, is comparatively well sourced, especially given the few available sources on this otherwise notable person, and adds to a lacking section of Wikipedia.
If you could give this draft ( [3]) a look again, I would definitely appreciate it.

Hello Bradv, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

Thanks for leaving feedback on my draft /info/en/?search=Draft:PlagiarismSearch I have personally worked with grading students' papers and evaluating them through different plagiarism detection software. I am working on including various checkers in order to enrich Wikipedia, since I have seen a couple of them presented here like Unicheck, Turnitin and others.
Could you please tell me how can I improve my article? I realize that more full coverages are needed rather than mentions. I have to extend my research. Anything else?
Thank you for your help. Regards, Kelsey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kelsey2848939 ( talk • contribs) 07:17, August 14, 2018 (UTC)
Hello Bradv,
You recently declined my submission for the McClure Twins wikipedia page with the comment "YouTube videos cannot be used as reliable sources,"
However, on Liza Koshy's Wikipedia page, citation #39: 'Flama (February 17, 2016), When People Think You're Mexican ft. Liza Koshy, YouTube, retrieved < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TjLILV574E>' was used to cite the claim "From kindergarten until 5th grade, she was placed in a dual language educational and cultural program, where she learned how to speak Spanish fluently."
Please advise as to the difference of using YouTube to cite a source on Liza Koshy's Wikipedia page versus the McClure Twins Wikipedia Page.

Hello Bradv,
I’m confused as to how Liza Koshy’s Wikipedia page was approved given the fact that it doesn’t abide by Wikipedia’s standards.
Is there an editor I can be directed to that can clarify?
Please advise.

Thank you for all of your help and support, Bradv. I will definitely take all of your comments into consideration and resubmit the page. I appreciate your timely responses and assistance. Have a great day. Congratulations on editor of the week!

Thanks again, Bradv.
My fault! The keywords I gave you to enter in Google were confused by my quotation marks. Please enter Boris Rotman -school -management. You should get 58,900 answers. Best regards. Autoctono~enwiki ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:55, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
I have declined the G12 tag on the above draft. As I noted on the talk page, the text that would normally constitute a copyright violation has been provided under a suitable free license, so that is not a rationale to delete the page. This is without comment on whether the page may or may not be suitable for deletion on other grounds. ~ Rob13 Talk 03:13, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
