In regard to your comment on Draft:Boston_Light_Opera_(1970s) -- thanks for your input on the ongoing discussion. Am I to assume that the final disposition of this article is still to be adjudicated and that no further input is required from me? I appreciate the various updates and the efforts of the researchers to validate all the content. rmosutton 14:19, 29 April 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmosutton ( talk • contribs)

Thank you both, most kindly. First, I should mention that Walter Pidgeon was not associated with this Boston Light Opera, but rather one 60 years earlier, in the 1910s, that barely existed a year. I know that doesn't help, but for facts' sake I should mention it. I'll see if I can locate someone at the Quincy paper if possible to get a link to the article in question there; if I can or if anything else comes forward, I'll add it if the article hasn't already been approved. rmosutton 17:58, 29 April 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmosutton ( talk • contribs)

Hi RoySmith,
Thanks for reviewing this article in draft. I've poked around a bit on Wikipedia and this is my first article I'm trying to get published. Since I'm not too familiar with the processes, quantity of references, and getting articles approved, is it possible to submit this draft into a group of users that would assist with working on it? Also, not sure where the talk page went for the draft, is there a place to discuss the draft that you could point me to? Much appreciated! Robtaylor04 ( talk) 13:39, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi Roy, you closed down the page for Toby Woolf. I don't know how to post a link to the page. Toby is my 10 year old son. I am not a wiki-expert, just a Mum who has been asked by his agent to set up a wikipedia page for him as he's a young actor, who has been in 2 dramas - one on BBC and one on Sky TV. He is about to star in a very big production on BBC and has a lead role in an upcoming film which has an A list cast.
Toby is currently quoted a lot in the UK Press and his TV show - Summer of Rockets is about to air on BBC. It (and Toby) will be featured in all the weekend papers.
I am not a wikipedia expert; I just want his information correctly portrayed. Please can you reinstate his page. I would have really liked for it to be up and running this weekend. I had not idea it was up for discussion for deletion or I would have been in touch sooner. Thanks so much.

You may have already noticed, but it looks like almost certain undisclosed paid editing and probable sockpuppetry. Robert McClenon ( talk) 23:59, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
I'm here to file a complaint about you abruptly closing a discussion on April Carrion, and you decided to side with the delete's, which was NOT the right thing to do. First of all, the voting was at best 3 keep vs. 2 delete and 1 redirect, so it was a tie. There should have been a wait for 1 more person to vote, and you shouldn't have closed it that soon. Also, I saw absolutely no mention or suspicion of socking in any of that discussion, plus no proof, so your statement about that was wrong. And in fact, it was mentioned that the previous afd wasn't handled correctly either because that consensus only had 2 deletes and 1 keep, too small to make a decision on, so that's wrong too. I believe you should re-open the afd because that consensus was too unfair to make an obvious call on.

I agree that the entry Draft:Every Woman's Problem is only a start. You are welcome to improve the article yourself or make suggestions on the talk page. Leaving a notable subject in draftspace doesn't help anyone, and I am already having to waste time doing wp:refunds. Lots of important and notable subjects need creation (inclusion) and expansion. I also started Draft:Your Girl and Mine today an even earlier film (1914) that also dealt with Woman's Suffrage. It is also easier for me to work on articles in mainspace than in draft space. I can link to the article without creating redlinks or having people remove my additions to a non-existant article. And it is obvious if I make a spelling error regarding the article title (because it will be red for good reason). I am also working up the directors and film companies involved so it's extra daunting to deal with various topics in draftspace and not being able to link back and forth.

Thank you Roy for your comments. I did hope that the use of a reference by Bob Pease and the quote form Bob Wyman might just qualify. I do feel that the VNS was innovative in its time and so is "notable" if not exactly WP:GNG. It deserves its (tiny) place in history and I felt that Wikipedia was the appropriate place. I will take your advice and look elsewhere.Thanks again

Hey Roy,
Thanks for taking the time to review my submission Draft:Flash_Pack
If there's any chance you might be able to help me with identifying which passages you deem to be too 'promotional' sounding in tone, I would hugely appreciate that. I have made as many changes as possible to ensure this page is purely objective in tone and that all facts are backed up by high-quality sources. I'm not sure where to go from here. I believe they meet eligibility criteria with these various citations in support.
would really appreciate a moment of your time
Thank you Bengomori ( talk) 10:41, 17 June 2019 (UTC) bengomori
Roy,
As you most likely know, I am new to the wikipedia universe and was looking to create a non-promotional, neutral article about Draft:Continental Express Inc. As I have noted with DRM310 User_talk:Drm310#Undisclosed_paid_editing:_Continental_Express,_Inc., and Deb User_talk:Deb#Continental_Express,_Inc._Deletion I am not paid, I have never been paid, nor will I ever be paid to contribute or edit to the page Draft:Continental Express Inc that you deleted. I only wanted to create an informative, factual, non-biased article about Continental Express, Inc. like so many other companies have done. If my article has gotten deleted, then why hasnt CR England, Werner Enterprises, or Knight-Swift. Please SPECIFICALLY cite what is promotional about my article, and I will gladly change it. I want to work with you on this process not against.

Hello, when you get a moment would you review this page again? Draft:DSV Limiting Factor.

Hello RoySmith, Thank you for reviewing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pareshaan Parinda, but I would like to ask you to reconsider your decision for a couple of reasons. The first and only keep !vote was added by the article creator whose sole claim was that the article has some reliable sources, there is no question about the reliability of the sources, but none of those sources provides "significant coverage" for the film as required by WP:NFP. The first source is a listing and rest of them are about the lead actress, not the film. Also, The film was released in March 2018, but there is no evidence to satisfy WP:NFO so would you mind giving it another look? Thank you. GSS ( talk| c| em) 02:14, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

And in fact, it was mentioned that the previous afd wasn't handled correctly either because that consensus only had 2 deletes and 1 keep, too small to make a decision on, so that's wrong too. I believe you should re-open the afd because that consensus was too unfair to make an obvious call on.

I agree that the entry Draft:Every Woman's Problem is only a start. You are welcome to improve the article yourself or make suggestions on the talk page. Leaving a notable subject in draftspace doesn't help anyone, and I am already having to waste time doing wp:refunds. Lots of important and notable subjects need creation (inclusion) and expansion. I also started Draft:Your Girl and Mine today an even earlier film (1914) that also dealt with Woman's Suffrage. It is also easier for me to work on articles in mainspace than in draft space. I can link to the article without creating redlinks or having people remove my additions to a non-existant article. And it is obvious if I make a spelling error regarding the article title (because it will be red for good reason). I am also working up the directors and film companies involved so it's extra daunting to deal with various topics in draftspace and not being able to link back and forth.

Thank you Roy for your comments. I did hope that the use of a reference by Bob Pease and the quote form Bob Wyman might just qualify. I do feel that the VNS was innovative in its time and so is "notable" if not exactly WP:GNG. It deserves its (tiny) place in history and I felt that Wikipedia was the appropriate place. I will take your advice and look elsewhere.Thanks again

I’ve given this some thought. Am I the Borg? Are they they Borg? I like clever humour, and subtle humour, even if it is a challenge for me. Can I have a hint? — SmokeyJoe ( talk) 06:47, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Hey Roy,
Thanks for taking the time to review my submission Draft:Flash_Pack
If there's any chance you might be able to help me with identifying which passages you deem to be too 'promotional' sounding in tone, I would hugely appreciate that. I have made as many changes as possible to ensure this page is purely objective in tone and that all facts are backed up by high-quality sources. I'm not sure where to go from here. I believe they meet eligibility criteria with these various citations in support.
would really appreciate a moment of your time
Thank you Bengomori ( talk) 10:41, 17 June 2019 (UTC) bengomori
Roy,
As you most likely know, I am new to the wikipedia universe and was looking to create a non-promotional, neutral article about Draft:Continental Express Inc. As I have noted with DRM310 User_talk:Drm310#Undisclosed_paid_editing:_Continental_Express,_Inc., and Deb User_talk:Deb#Continental_Express,_Inc._Deletion I am not paid, I have never been paid, nor will I ever be paid to contribute or edit to the page Draft:Continental Express Inc that you deleted. I only wanted to create an informative, factual, non-biased article about Continental Express, Inc. like so many other companies have done. If my article has gotten deleted, then why hasnt CR England, Werner Enterprises, or Knight-Swift. Please SPECIFICALLY cite what is promotional about my article, and I will gladly change it. I want to work with you on this process not against.

Hello, when you get a moment would you review this page again? Draft:DSV Limiting Factor. The specifications section has been removed (information is now uniquely in infobox) per your feedback, and additional sources and rewritten sections have been completed. Thanks, Naadobea1776 ( talk) 16:31, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello RoySmith, Thank you for reviewing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pareshaan Parinda, but I would like to ask you to reconsider your decision for a couple of reasons. The first and only keep !vote was added by the article creator whose sole claim was that the article has some reliable sources, there is no question about the reliability of the sources, but none of those sources provides "significant coverage" for the film as required by WP:NFP. The first source is a listing and rest of them are about the lead actress, not the film. Also, The film was released in March 2018, but there is no evidence to satisfy WP:NFO so would you mind giving it another look? Thank you. GSS ( talk| c| em) 02:14, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

I was trying to create a page about Jim Masterson and it had been deleted. This is my first time trying to contribute to wikipedia, so I am learning the proper protocol for uploading. I do have permission from the photographers to use those images and I believe I understand the correct way to upload now. I will try to upload correctly this time. Thank you
I won't move that page anymore, I promise. 99721829Max ( talk) 02:02, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
