Gusfriend, I see that you commented on the Square (financial services company) talk page. The section where you left your comment is an old/stale discussion. You may want to repost your comment in the sections titled "How to show support for name change?" or "IAR" instead. Chrisclear (talk) 22:26, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
so youre young enough to not know the toecutters by their names? Notability of a Melbourne solicitor with 10 refs and intrinsically linked with the gangland killings and you want more? nah, youre overstepping the threshold dont you think? Your user page gives it all away, and honestly, there are hundreds of oz articles with less refs and blood and gore that stand alone unchallenged. All this in good humour of course, I didnt have to step over dead bodies in the cross or darlinghurst in the old days, but got close to it... JarrahTree 02:12, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi Gusfriend,
Welcome to Articles for Deletion. I have noticed that several some of your AfD comments fall under Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions (such as this one, which falls under WP:INHERITED) as they are usually ignored by deletion discussion closers. May I recommend a thorough read of the rules as well, such as WP:AFDEQ and WP:DISCUSSAFD? Since you seem to be new to AfD, I highly recommend brushing up on those. Please also remember that you cannot vote twice like you did here, and that you should use Template:Strikethrough if you accidentally do so. Have a good one! Pilaz (talk) 09:48, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
Just to follow up on this advice, I noticed your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Illinois Northern Railroad and it gave me pause. The question there was whether the article was a hoax or not (it was). If it really did exist, a railroad operating 110 miles of track in the United States would pass our notability guidelines.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Piet Mondrian, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Stub. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi Gusfriend, thank you again for reviewing my article. As per your suggestion, I have removed what I considered to be primary sources, I.e., those that link to the Palatine website. Also, I have removed those notable members which were also referenced by the website. I have left those members who are referenced by secondary references, i.e., Newspaper articles etc. But if you think these members should be removed then I will do so. I’d appreciate it if you could take a look at my revised draft. Thanks again Stev201961 (talk) 11:57, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

When you create new articles connected to the Byzantine Empire, could you remember to list them in the Index of Byzantine Empire–related articles? Dimadick (talk) 08:02, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at FIBA Men's World Ranking shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello @Gusfriend thank you for reviewing my AfC submission for Faye Toogood -- I am going to follow your advice and add more context, I do wonder tho: what is the minimum acceptable length for a "stub" article? I thought in the case of such a well known female designer who lacks a wikipedia entry, the first order of business would be to "right" the situation by giving her a page, and then work on improving it over time. That's why I meant to submit it ASAP as a stub. SleepyWhippet (talk) 12:55, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello Gusfriend. You declined our submission. Reason similar to below. I really dont understand why. I have seen other airlines with very much lesser reference is been approved. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Jet_Xpress_Airlines
Submission declined on 6 May 2022 by Rich Smith (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
I have resubmitted with the following reference and yet it is declined again.

Thanks for the fast review. I'll replace the refs to the CV. Not sure about the other issue: "the text in the first couple of paragraphs should be rewritten". Are you refering to the Early life and education sections? --Adig-pt (talk) 07:47, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi, you recently declined Draft:Seco Tools, and I don't know if you noticed (since they didn't ping you) but the creator has queried this on their talk page, so perhaps you could go and respond?
FWIW, IMO the creator has a point, in so far as the company being part of the Sandvik group, or not existing anymore (which isn't the case, AFAIK), aren't reasons to decline; also, saying that the draft doesn't have sufficient content to warrant its own article isn't quite correct, either (it looks Start class to me). Where I think you are right is that the sources are on the weak side, especially in what comes to establishing notability (there seems to be the assumption that as long as the sources are reliable, they are good enough, which obviously isn't the case), so in that sense I'm not disputing the decline, just the reasons given.
The fact that svwiki has an article on this company has, of course, no bearing on whether enwiki should, which you may wish to explain to the creator.
Anyway, that's me done poking my nose into your business! Over to you, to take forward as you see fit. Cheers, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:17, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Please do not take my nomination of this article whose earlier draft you accepted as a criticism of your acceptance. We all have different opinions, and the community's opinions trump yours or mine.
As an AFC reviewer myself I choose to remain neutral at AfD discussions where I have accepted the draft. While I commend that route to you it is my personal preference to act in that manner, you may have different views. If wish to express an opinion please do so. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 19:43, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Thank you both for your messages. I agree with the policy of staying away from the AfD discussion in the same way that I generally don't conduct the review of AfCs that I have previously rejected.

Hello Gusfriend. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:CBi Bank, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: I do not think the draft is blatantly promotional. It merely states when the bank was founded. Yes, this will not be going to the mainspace any time soon, but G11 should be reserved for painfully obvious cases. . Thank you. Modussiccandi (talk) 08:55, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Since I was not the original author or a major contributor of Draft:Exaly, I did not want to change the overall structure. I changed the two references to Exaly official website by available credible sources. However, just for my reference, as I checked similar pages I found it is a common practice in Wikipedia to reference the official website on some instances. Isn't it? I can give you tons of examples.

Hi Gusfriend, Thank you for your tips. I've cleaned up most of the "peacock terms" in the text. There are still some "peacock terms" but they belong to the references. The problem is that very little has been written about Ostroumov. Because of the catastrophic historical events, everything was destroyed and his professional activity remained completely unknown. The only two books (see the references!) that also report on Ostroumov are already written in a laudative tone. It's hard for me to end this by quoting from these sole sources. In doing so, I would falsify the intention of the authors. It would be a pity if the public could not find out about Ostroumov. I hope that my changes to the text will make the submission possible. If not yet, please give me further tips to achieve this. Thanks very much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan Rascanu (talk • contribs) 22:27, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi GusFriend! Thanks for withdrawing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Easley High School. I think it turns out to be quite notable; I keep finding more and more information.

What you did at List of bays of France is against the AFC rules saying that articles may only be accepted if they are cited to reliable sources (lists are no exception). If you've done that more than once, permissions should be revoked. (t · c) buidhe 23:10, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Gusfriend,
I noticed you declined my recent draft of The Phillips Academy Poll. As someone new to Wikipedia, I'm a bit confused about how recency threatens the accuracy of the article. In some other pages I've updated, the references to election results are very recent because they must. Regarding notability, I've provided citations from NHPR, which is an NPR affiliate. FiveThirtyEight is also a subsidiary of ABC News, and coverage on their website indicates notability and reliability, especially in the polling world.
Please keep me updated, and I hope to continue learning about Wikipedia's policies.
Vergilreader (talk) 17:37, 5 June 2022 (UTC)Vergilreader
Hello Gusfriend -- Just a quick note to say don't add the unreferenced tag to an article unless it has no sources at all, including in the form of external links. There are a lot of referencing templates that might apply, such as More footnotes needed (no inline references); see Category:Citation and verifiability maintenance templates. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 02:54, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
Thank you so much for reviewing the article! As recommended, I have significantly cut the number of publications. I have made updates throughout as well to better reflect notability. The "Notability (academics)" guidelines states that "Academics meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable": "The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level." Sabbagh-Khoury has been awarded the H.G. Guggenheim's Distinguished Scholars Grant, the Fulbright award, the Israeli Council for Higher Education's Maof Scholarship, and an Israel Science Foundation postdoctoral award, among others. The article also demonstrates notability. For instance, Footnote 11 is a Washington Post article that quotes from Sabbagh-Khoury. Footnote 15 is a Hebrew article from the top Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which discusses in-depth Sabbagh-Khoury's research. Footnote 17, an academic article by the historian Gabriel Piterberg, discusses Sabbagh-Khoury's novel research agenda in-depth. Other footnotes link to talks Sabbagh-Khoury has been invited to give on her speciality.
I hope these suffice. Thank you!

Hi Gusfriend, the ANI discussion closed as I was writing a reply to your suggestion "it might be a good idea for them to get into the habit of saying WP:NCORP or WP:GNG rather than just referring to NCORP as both can be used for a company or organisation."
I was just going to note WP:SNG states, SNGs can also provide examples of sources and types of coverage considered significant for the purposes of determining notability, such as [...] the strict significant coverage requirements spelled out in the SNG for organizations and companies
. Also, in the WP:ORGCRIT guideline, it is noted, These criteria, generally, follow the general notability guideline with a stronger emphasis on quality of the sources to prevent gaming of the rules by marketing and public relations professionals. The guideline, among other things, is meant to address some of the common issues with abusing Wikipedia for advertising and promotion.
Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 02:36, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you have declined Draft:Chronology of football on UK television on the grounds that it does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own. Whilst I don't totally agree with this, what is true is that the article is incomplete and should remain in draftspace. However I would not want it to be merged with my UK football timeline as at some point when this is complete I feel it would merit an article in its own right and am I able to state this somewhere within the article?
Therefore will the article remain in draftspace because if it does I can continue to cultivate it offline and when I think it is complete, and therefore ready for inclusion on Wikipedia, am I able to re-submit it? Rillington (talk) 11:32, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Gusfriend,
My draft article for Megan Cornish was rejected due to not using "reliable sources." However, I believe that is a misconception. This article relies mostly on primary sources from Cornish and her colleagues gathered by the Labor Archives of Washington and the University of Washington Libraries. I processed and viewed the documents from the court cases she was involved in, housed at the Labor Archives of Washington, that I relied heavily on when crafting this article. Additionally, the YouTube videos that were marked as "unreliable" were part of an oral history collection from the University of Washington that interviewed Megan Cornish herself. There are also some secondary sources cited, which all came from a heavily researched academic project at the University of Washington called the Seattle Civil Rights and Labor History Project. I implore you to please review the sources again and reconsider this article's submission.

I'm not sure that supporting the edit warring done by IP 91.237.86.201 is a good idea, you filled in references to the articles which are in Polish, and I'm not quite sure you are aware of the fact that at this point the IP is breaking the 3RR rule in 24 hours. The IP keep doing this despite not gaining any consensus. Also, since the sources are in Polish, I'm not sure you are aware of the fact that what the IP has done was to create a text based on WP:SYNTHESIS and WP:Original research. You are encouraging bad behavior by going in and filling in the citation details, and blindly confirming sources you may not be able to read or understand they are not in English. --E-960 (talk) 10:05, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
No, first off... the disputed content should not be in the article, there are clear rules on this, and I was being facetious when I asked about it, note Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. Also, what is the RfC going to be about in the first place, the synthesis and original research? The editor who keeps pushing this questionable text has up to this point misrepresented a number of sources, so what will this RfC accomplish other than provide a chance to WP:FORUMSHOP. The RfC is not an idea option. --E-960 (talk) 11:54, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
Gusfriend, could I suggest that you withdraw the RfC. Unfortunately, just today the IP user again tried to add his disputed text back into the article, which earlier was re-added by user Rzęsor and was reverted both times by user Loafiewa. As I noted earlier, this compromise RfC will not solve the disruptive editing by the IP and his "supporters" and only added to the confusion. --E-960 (talk) 19:28, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

"The source" is a first party source so I figured it would count as reliable within the topic of LACMTA. Not to mention it already is a somewhat better article than the existing articles for the current and previous models such as the P2550 and P2000.

I have added inline citations, primarily to his Who was Who entry and his obituary. I cross checked some against Debrett's, whose entry is for the current Baronet, but contains information on his lineage, but did not cite it as a reference as it is not directly about the Sir Hercules Robert Langrishe. My motivation for creating an entry for the 5th Baronet is that the entry for Valhalla (steam yacht, 1892) incorrectly links a conversation Lord Crawford has with the 1st Baronet, who died in 1811, before Valhalla was built.Paladyn-john (talk) 10:43, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

I have a single citation to 'Who's Who' for the birth date and location. I see that is a source which is doubted, however, I'm unsure how else one can cite that information?

An article you recently created, List of 2020s films based on actual events, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:

Crit.1.: The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. Research gate lists 32 Publications. 1,278 Reads, 287 Citations. This is probably a lot. See https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Norbert-Matsche. If the link should not work, please contact me.
Crit.4.: The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions. Matsché holds / held 2 patents, see ref. 30 (EP application 0527123A1 Matsché, Norbert; Guan, Liang: "Belebtschlammverfahren zur Reinigung von Abwasser" filing date 1992-08-05) and 32 (EP application 1342698A1 Matsché, Norbert: "Verfahren und Anlage zum Klären von Industrieabwässern" filing date 2002-03-05).
Crit.5.: The person 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. Matsché was appointed Professor of Chemistry and Biology of Water at the Institute for Water Quality and Waste Management (today: Institute for Water Quality and Resource Management) of TU Wien, a position he held until his retirement from active service on 30 September 2007. (see ref. 6: "Entwicklungsplan der Technischen Universität Wien" [Development Plan of TU Wien] (PDF) (in German). Retrieved 2022-03-03.)
Crit.6.: The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society. Matsche was member of numerous national and international relevant non-university organisations and scientific committees, e.g. member in the board of the Specialist Group on Design, Operation and Costs of Large Wastewater Treatment Plants of the International Water Association (IWA), (s. ref. 33 "IWA Specialist Group „Design, Operation and Costs of Large Wastewater Treatment Plants"" (PDF). IWA Newsletter Österreich (in German). Österreichisches Nationalkomitee der International Water Association. pp. 4–5. Retrieved 2022-07-22.).
Crit.8.: The person has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area. Matsché was editor of Acta Hydrochimica et Hydrobiologica (see ref. 41: "Personenprofil" (in German). TU Wien. Retrieved 2022-07-19.).
I made some additions concerning some references, but now I would say, my draft is ready to meet the criteria. So please inform me wether I'm right and my draft can be moved into the article space. Thank you for timely feedback and best regards, Hager Irene (talk) 10:05, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, as you rejected the submission from Draft, could you explain which criteria was used for rejecting that? as the subject acquired significant notability, as nominated for the Martín Fierro awards, and the gold button, and had significant coverage in independient media, including La Tercera and El Mercurio, si believe the subject is enough notable and the article has the enough references. If you don't believe the article is not enough relevant, please explain in a plausible way. --Amitie 10g (talk) 06:04, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello Gus(friend). I'm following up here because I don't think it's remotely relevant to the ANI thread, but I sign my posts here with my first name, as people do in all forms of written communication across the English-speaking world. My username is my full name and I'd find it unusual and awkward to sign with my full name. I have done this for years without any objections and, as you say, the signature policy only requires that a user's signature "resembles" a username and link to their user page. Community consensus for this policy was confirmed in a recent, well-attended RfC. – Joe (talk) 10:52, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

I am working on getting the references (and other improvements) in order, and once I do, I will look forward to another chance at a review, if you can be so generous with your time.

I see that you closed this RFC as "The numbers are approximately equal so there is no consensus to include the regnal number at the top of the infobox." However, this means there is also no consensus to exclude it, thus no justification for removing it - it's already in many other articles and has been for many years. Deb (talk) 10:50, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
Hey Gusfriend. I'd like to challenge your closure of the RfC on Denials. WP:DETCON tells us that Consensus is ascertained by the quality of the arguments given on the various sides of an issue, as viewed through the lens of Wikipedia policy.
and WP:CLOSE#How to determine the outcome states that Consensus is not determined by counting heads or counting votes
and the closer must read the arguments presented
.
Your closure is pretty short, only two sentences with the second being implementation notes. In your closure you state that There is a clear consensus for the page to include option 1...as it received more !votes than everything else combined.
When reading the closure against both the DETCON policy and CLOSE information page I've linked above, you've made no mention of how you ascertained the relative strengths of the arguments as viewed through policy. I was hoping if you could clarify if your closure was entirely based on numeric distribution of the !votes, or if you made any determination of the various policy points raised by all sides of that discussion. If however your closure was entirely based on the number of !votes, and no assessment of the arguments presented was undertaken, I would request that you undo the closure and relist it for needing closure. Thanks. Sideswipe9th (talk) 16:21, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

You may have noticed me pop up on the Exmor Talk - as a result of the rfc.
I'm new to this and I didn't want to clutter the discussion with ill informed contributions, hence this request.
Can you help me understand what is the issue (I understand the sourcing issue but that apparently is now accepted) with the list of stuff some would like to see in the article... and this type of thing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Directories_and_indexes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contents/Technology_and_applied_sciences
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_processors
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8086
Would it be acceptable for them to make a list in these sorts of areas and link to it?
If the issue is readability could not the 'list' just be collapsable?
