Respected sir, I submitted a Draft:Theranostics for review, kindly do needful for revision DGG sir. There is already a page and there are some complications. But an independent page for theranostic is really needed. guide me is there any issue to publish this article. Rahulsoman ( talk) 20:09, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi DGG. I have a question for you. The Controversies section is the last bit of content in the current article that I didn't address in the draft you're reviewing. I did propose changes for the subsection on Bill Clinton per your note, but haven't for the other info there. There are some factual inaccuracies and tone issues, and I've come up with alternative content. Should I add that to my draft, or wait until you've finished reviewing? I don't want to throw off your progress. Thanks again for all of your help and feedback! PMV1111 ( talk) 21:57, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Hey DGG, I’m not entirely sure if this is a problem for editors who use desktops but for some reason a wrong markup/syntax inserted in your tp is causing your Tp to appear in a strange manner for mobile editors, I tried fixing it now but it didn’t work. Celestina007 ( talk) 02:20, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
Hello, DGG,
Occasionally, a well-intentioned editor using AWB will do a mass edit that will affect a large number of pages simultaneously. That happened last May 8th with some drafts that had been moved from the main space to Draft space. They appear in the Notes section of User:SDZeroBot/G13 soon for this day as "draftified". This means that instead of our typical daily number of expiring drafts, which is usually around 200-250 pages, on November 8th, we will have 512! So as not to overwhelm either a draft reviewer like you or a draft page deleter, every day I've been delaying about 20 of these draftified drafts for another six months. So far, most of them involve geographic articles whose accuracy was questioned by Fram. But I think it's better that they be evaluated later, a couple dozen at a time, than to try to review 120+ in one sitting. So, whenever you get around to reviewing this day's list, feel free to skim through the drafts that are listed as draftified as most of them will have been postponed.
It's interesting to me that daily G13 numbers are way up in late April and early May than the typical daily numbers. I'm beginning to think the fluctuation in expiring drafts has less to do with page creators' activity than in page reviewers' activity since it seems like many editors, unfortunately, don't return to work on drafts once they have been declined. Perhaps there was an unofficial AFC backlog drive during these months? Any way, I hope all is well with you! Liz Read! Talk! 19:39, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello, you rescued the draft for Ernestine_H._Stevens (because she is notable) but may not have seen there is a full article for her here: Ernestine H. Stevens. This is my fault, I was making an article for her but I couldn't get around the auto-wikidata aspect in the draft so I just made a new article. I don't know if you want to undo the rescuing or what but wanted to let you know. Thank you! Jessamyn ( talk) 18:52, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I am Uma Sori, I did not add Artemus Gaye, nor Princess Karen Chatman just to be adding them. Maybe I did not use Wikipedia in its proper form. But instead of the contributors assisting me, they went on to block my IP address. Alford wrote his book, Prince Among Slaves, based off the facts provided a collection of the stories provided by my family. I did not just provide Gaye and Chatman's names to just add them to a story. Please review the descendant's document provided by Terry Alford you can view the descendants such as; Ester the Great Great Grandmother of both Gaye and Chatman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uma971 ( talk • contribs)
Reading your comment on this Draft, I have to inquire whether you really understood the article correctly. You said "He's notable not for having been from a noble family, but because of the subsequent developments and his published work."
The thing is, it isn't a 'he' that the article is about - all of the developments and books mentioned in the draft actually have to do with the article subject's great-great-grandfather, who already has his own page. There is only one paragraph about the subject herself, and it reports nothing consequerntial about her. Indeed, this draft seems to be a trojan horse content fork, created to bypass a content dispute on the ancestor's page. (Please ignore if this is not the case, if you simply made a typo on the gender but you are aware of material not currently in the draft that makes Princess Karen herself notable, rather than just her ancestor Abdulrahman Ibrahim Ibn Sori.).

The article Govy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Most sources seem to advertise their work with very little context. I searched the names "Angélique Adrianna Govy", "Jimmy Owenns", and "Kennedy James" and couldn't find significant, reliable sources. Also, see Talk:Govy. Please read the sources, many of the links are not even working.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hello,
I've been working on some edits of pages related to hip hop's so-called " blog era" and artists from the DMV. In my research looking for sources for the pages, I came across a figure I thought worthy of a Wikipedia page, Quinelle Holder. I got about halfway done with a draft before I saw there were two previous attempts at creation in 2017 and again in 2020. After the 2020 creation, the page was deleted again and you protected it. Per WP:SALT, I'm reaching out to see if you think the page is worthy of a recreation. I've placed a complete draft in my Sandbox. I think he's notable and worthy of a page as a prominent figure in both the DMV hip hop scene and the history of hip hop's blog era. His notability has definitely increased since 2017 and I can't attest to the writing of either previous attempt, but I believe I have a detailed, fleshed out page. Let me know what you think and if this is even worth attempting. - JoeyHarmon ( talk) 22:03, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

JoeyHarmon , give it a try, but do it it Draft space. When you're ready submit it. It will have to be reviewed by an admin to go into main space, but I'd want someone familiar with the subject to look at it first. I do know that what will count will be working with other notable people, but there has to be aa clear designation of the role--e.g., instead of "working with", your ref 6 give "Chief publicist for...." which is much better. But Heir Musics Group does not have an article of its own, and I'm not clear if working with it is the same as being the publicist for Pusha himself. It may also help to establish articles for other people he's worked for. You will understand that WP has a somewhat skeptical atttitude to publicists and press agents in all fields. We have also become very reluctant to accept 35 under 35 , etc., and I usually remove it from articles in all subjects. You can leave the panels, but remove the namedropping of other people who received the same award as he--even tho I know you put it in to indicate the importance of the award. (and to reassue anyone who looks at this that I'm not working beyon my limits, my comments are based on what works in other fields--I have no idea what's accepted as enough in this one) DGG ( talk ) 16:13, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello DGG! I've just come across the articles Jennie E. Brand and Jennie E. Brand (sociologist), which are about the same person. I've CSD tagged the latter since its mainspace creation was more recent and it has nothing that the other, longer article doesn't have – but I noticed that you edited Jennie E. Brand in 2019, and then approved, cleaned up, and disambiguated Jennie E. Brand (sociologist) from AfC in May of this year. At that time the first sentence of the former article was very similar to the only two sentences in the latter, certainly enough to demonstrate that they were the same person. I just wanted to ensure you're aware of this in case it has any implications for changes you might want to make to your AfC disambiguation process – or, if it was just a one-time honest mistake, feel free to ignore it! ezlev ( user/ tlk/ ctrbs) 18:29, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
Sir, please let me know still these pages are not in the acceptable form Draft:Gallium_68_PSMA-11 and Draft:Theranostics. If I wrote an article to a journal about Draft:Theranostics they might have accepted that within this time sir. It seems to be even difficult to get it published here. If you feel the article on theranostic is not acceptable, I am ready to withdraw it, the writings and drawing for the article will be utilized in some other places, It will be worthy. Thank you. Sorry for disturbing you again and again sir. Rahulsoman ( talk) 14:00, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
Rahulsoman, the development and usage sections of the Gallium68 article are unclear. Radiolabelling what? The decision for therapy is much more complicated than presented and should be left for elsewhere. The Theranostics articles is still both unclear and misleading , for example "Nanotheranostics are one of the greatest outcomes of nanomedicine, still the research outputs are in infancy, " You presumably mean potentially one of the greatest outcomes, but you condensed and paraphrased the wording from ref 13. You'd have to say, according to X, and then give a quote.

Hello DGG, first of all thank you to taking time to review my article. I don't understand several things and I'm here to ask your help. You wrote that this is a promotional article.. I don't understand why and how. Moreover in your comment I read "complete with pull qotefrom a source thatWP doesn ot consider reliable". I can assure that Il_Sole_24_Ore is the most important financial newspaper in Italy... it is absolutely reliable. After that you wrote: "substantial reviews in third-party published independent reliable sources". I followed the suggestions of Theroadislong and I put many reliable and relevant sources: Le iene (television program broadcast on the Italian channel Italia 1), MF_Milano_Finanza, Libero_(newspaper), Finder_(website). At the end, I inserted many books that talks about the author. Please help me to understand what is the best way to complete my research about the author and update the page. Thanks in advance.

Hello, David,
I know that you are not in charge of AFC but I had a comment that I thought I'd direct to you because I think you make an effort to instill some basic quality control among reviewers at AfC.
For over a year now, the bulk of my time on Wikipedia is dealing with aging drafts. I think at this point, over 40% of my edits are to User talk pages, leaving messages, from deletion notices to Welcome to Wikipedias to Teahouse Invitations to warnings about autobiographies (I post that one dozens of times/day) to personal messages. And one thing I've noticed is that not all AfC reviewers copy their draft evaluations to the talk pages of the page creators. After looking at thousands of user talk pages, I'd say that there are 12-15 AFC reviewers who do the bulk of reviewing but there are a couple who do not copy their review of the draft to the page creator. So, when I come along, 6 months later, I can find that there is no user talk page at all, the editor has gotten no welcome, no message about their draft...their first message from another editor on Wikipedia is a notice from me, saying that their draft has been deleted. And because the draft has now been deleted, they have no access to see the feedback from the AfC reviewer because there is no copy of it on their user talk page.
I'm not going to name names because I'm currently looking at drafts from May 2021 and it could be that these reviewers' habits have changed since then. But I will say that those reviewers who are guilty are not new reviewers but editors who have been here for 10 years or longer. So, without knowing how AfC works, I'm wondering if there are some reviewing tools that automatically copy draft reviews to user talk pages and these old school editors are not using the latest tools or scripts that would handle this for them. I wouldn't be as concerned if these AfC reviewers reviewed only a few drafts but some of them are pretty active so this lack of communication has the potential to affect a lot of new editors.
That's all I have to say. But I've been thinking about it for a long time now and I wasn't sure how to make a query about it. If you want to copy this over to the AfC talk page, that's fine with me. I hope you have a restful Thanksgiving Day weekend. Liz Read! Talk! 04:18, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
I'll copy this over in a day or too, when people are more apt to pay attention. DGG ( talk ) 05:15, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Respected sir, I submitted a Draft:Theranostics for review, kindly do needful for revision DGG sir. There is already a page and there are some complications. But an independent page for theranostic is really needed. guide me is there any issue to publish this article. Rahulsoman ( talk) 20:09, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi DGG. I have a question for you. The Controversies section is the last bit of content in the current article that I didn't address in the draft you're reviewing. I did propose changes for the subsection on Bill Clinton per your note, but haven't for the other info there. There are some factual inaccuracies and tone issues, and I've come up with alternative content. Should I add that to my draft, or wait until you've finished reviewing? I don't want to throw off your progress. Thanks again for all of your help and feedback! PMV1111 ( talk) 21:57, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Hey DGG, I’m not entirely sure if this is a problem for editors who use desktops but for some reason a wrong markup/syntax inserted in your tp is causing your Tp to appear in a strange manner for mobile editors, I tried fixing it now but it didn’t work.

Hello, DGG,
Occasionally, a well-intentioned editor using AWB will do a mass edit that will affect a large number of pages simultaneously. That happened last May 8th with some drafts that had been moved from the main space to Draft space. They appear in the Notes section of User:SDZeroBot/G13 soon for this day as "draftified". This means that instead of our typical daily number of expiring drafts, which is usually around 200-250 pages, on November 8th, we will have 512! So as not to overwhelm either a draft reviewer like you or a draft page deleter, every day I've been delaying about 20 of these draftified drafts for another six months. So far, most of them involve geographic articles whose accuracy was questioned by Fram. But I think it's better that they be evaluated later, a couple dozen at a time, than to try to review 120+ in one sitting. So, whenever you get around to reviewing this day's list, feel free to skim through the drafts that are listed as draftified as most of them will have been postponed.
It's interesting to me that daily G13 numbers are way up in late April and early May than the typical daily numbers. I'm beginning to think the fluctuation in expiring drafts has less to do with page creators' activity than in page reviewers' activity since it seems like many editors, unfortunately, don't return to work on drafts once they have been declined. Perhaps there was an unofficial AFC backlog drive during these months? Any way, I hope all is well with you! Liz Read! Talk! 19:39, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello, you rescued the draft for Ernestine_H._Stevens (because she is notable) but may not have seen there is a full article for her here: Ernestine H. Stevens. This is my fault, I was making an article for her but I couldn't get around the auto-wikidata aspect in the draft so I just made a new article.

Hello, I am Uma Sori, I did not add Artemus Gaye, nor Princess Karen Chatman just to be adding them. Maybe I did not use Wikipedia in its proper form. But instead of the contributors assisting me, they went on to block my IP address. Alford wrote his book, Prince Among Slaves, based off the facts provided a collection of the stories provided by my family. I did not just provide Gaye and Chatman's names to just add them to a story. Please review the descendant's document provided by Terry Alford you can view the descendants such as; Ester the Great Great Grandmother of both Gaye and Chatman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uma971 ( talk • contribs)
Reading your comment on this Draft, I have to inquire whether you really understood the article correctly. You said "He's notable not for having been from a noble family, but because of the subsequent developments and his published work."
The thing is, it isn't a 'he' that the article is about - all of the developments and books mentioned in the draft actually have to do with the article subject's great-great-grandfather, who already has his own page. There is only one paragraph about the subject herself, and it reports nothing consequerntial about her. Indeed, this draft seems to be a trojan horse content fork, created to bypass a content dispute on the ancestor's page. (Please ignore if this is not the case, if you simply made a typo on the gender but you are aware of material not currently in the draft that makes Princess Karen herself notable, rather than just her ancestor Abdulrahman Ibrahim Ibn Sori.).

The article Govy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Most sources seem to advertise their work with very little context. I searched the names "Angélique Adrianna Govy", "Jimmy Owenns", and "Kennedy James" and couldn't find significant, reliable sources. Also, see Talk:Govy. Please read the sources, many of the links are not even working.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hello,
I've been working on some edits of pages related to hip hop's so-called " blog era" and artists from the DMV. In my research looking for sources for the pages, I came across a figure I thought worthy of a Wikipedia page, Quinelle Holder. I got about halfway done with a draft before I saw there were two previous attempts at creation in 2017 and again in 2020. After the 2020 creation, the page was deleted again and you protected it. Per WP:SALT, I'm reaching out to see if you think the page is worthy of a recreation. I've placed a complete draft in my Sandbox. I think he's notable and worthy of a page as a prominent figure in both the DMV hip hop scene and the history of hip hop's blog era. His notability has definitely increased since 2017 and I can't attest to the writing of either previous attempt, but I believe I have a detailed, fleshed out page. Let me know what you think and if this is even worth attempting. - JoeyHarmon ( talk) 22:03, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

JoeyHarmon , give it a try, but do it it Draft space. When you're ready submit it. It will have to be reviewed by an admin to go into main space, but I'd want someone familiar with the subject to look at it first. I do know that what will count will be working with other notable people, but there has to be aa clear designation of the role--e.g., instead of "working with", your ref 6 give "Chief publicist for...." which is much better. But Heir Musics Group does not have an article of its own, and I'm not clear if working with it is the same as being the publicist for Pusha himself. It may also help to establish articles for other people he's worked for. You will understand that WP has a somewhat skeptical atttitude to publicists and press agents in all fields. We have also become very reluctant to accept 35 under 35 , etc., and I usually remove it from articles in all subjects. You can leave the panels, but remove the namedropping of other people who received the same award as he--even tho I know you put it in to indicate the importance of the award. (and to reassue anyone who looks at this that I'm not working beyon my limits, my comments are based on what works in other fields--I have no idea what's accepted as enough in this one) DGG ( talk ) 16:13, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello DGG! I've just come across the articles Jennie E. Brand and Jennie E. Brand (sociologist), which are about the same person. I've CSD tagged the latter since its mainspace creation was more recent and it has nothing that the other, longer article doesn't have – but I noticed that you edited Jennie E. Brand in 2019, and then approved, cleaned up, and disambiguated Jennie E. Brand (sociologist) from AfC in May of this year. At that time the first sentence of the former article was very similar to the only two sentences in the latter, certainly enough to demonstrate that they were the same person. I just wanted to ensure you're aware of this in case it has any implications for changes you might want to make to your AfC disambiguation process – or, if it was just a one-time honest mistake, feel free to ignore it! ezlev ( user/ tlk/ ctrbs) 18:29, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
Sir, please let me know still these pages are not in the acceptable form Draft:Gallium_68_PSMA-11 and Draft:Theranostics. If I wrote an article to a journal about Draft:Theranostics they might have accepted that within this time sir. It seems to be even difficult to get it published here. If you feel the article on theranostic is not acceptable, I am ready to withdraw it, the writings and drawing for the article will be utilized in some other places, It will be worthy. Thank you. Sorry for disturbing you again and again sir. Rahulsoman ( talk) 14:00, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
Rahulsoman, the development and usage sections of the Gallium68 article are unclear. Radiolabelling what? The decision for therapy is much more complicated than presented and should be left for elsewhere. The Theranostics articles is still both unclear and misleading , for example "Nanotheranostics are one of the greatest outcomes of nanomedicine, still the research outputs are in infancy, " You presumably mean potentially one of the greatest outcomes, but you condensed and paraphrased the wording from ref 13. You'd have to say, according to X, and then give a quote.

Hello DGG, first of all thank you to taking time to review my article. I don't understand several things and I'm here to ask your help. You wrote that this is a promotional article.. I don't understand why and how. Moreover in your comment I read "complete with pull qotefrom a source thatWP doesn ot consider reliable". I can assure that Il_Sole_24_Ore is the most important financial newspaper in Italy... it is absolutely reliable. After that you wrote: "substantial reviews in third-party published independent reliable sources". I followed the suggestions of Theroadislong and I put many reliable and relevant sources: Le iene (television program broadcast on the Italian channel Italia 1), MF_Milano_Finanza, Libero_(newspaper), Finder_(website). At the end, I inserted many books that talks about the author. Please help me to understand what is the best way to complete my research about the author and update the page. Thanks in advance.

Hello, David,
I know that you are not in charge of AFC but I had a comment that I thought I'd direct to you because I think you make an effort to instill some basic quality control among reviewers at AfC.
For over a year now, the bulk of my time on Wikipedia is dealing with aging drafts. I think at this point, over 40% of my edits are to User talk pages, leaving messages, from deletion notices to Welcome to Wikipedias to Teahouse Invitations to warnings about autobiographies (I post that one dozens of times/day) to personal messages. And one thing I've noticed is that not all AfC reviewers copy their draft evaluations to the talk pages of the page creators. After looking at thousands of user talk pages, I'd say that there are 12-15 AFC reviewers who do the bulk of reviewing but there are a couple who do not copy their review of the draft to the page creator. So, when I come along, 6 months later, I can find that there is no user talk page at all, the editor has gotten no welcome, no message about their draft...their first message from another editor on Wikipedia is a notice from me, saying that their draft has been deleted. And because the draft has now been deleted, they have no access to see the feedback from the AfC reviewer because there is no copy of it on their user talk page.
I'm not going to name names because I'm currently looking at drafts from May 2021 and it could be that these reviewers' habits have changed since then. But I will say that those reviewers who are guilty are not new reviewers but editors who have been here for 10 years or longer. So, without knowing how AfC works, I'm wondering if there are some reviewing tools that automatically copy draft reviews to user talk pages and these old school editors are not using the latest tools or scripts that would handle this for them. I wouldn't be as concerned if these AfC reviewers reviewed only a few drafts but some of them are pretty active so this lack of communication has the potential to affect a lot of new editors.
That's all I have to say. But I've been thinking about it for a long time now and I wasn't sure how to make a query about it. If you want to copy this over to the AfC talk page, that's fine with me. I hope you have a restful Thanksgiving Day weekend. Liz Read! Talk! 04:18, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
