Scam warning!

There is a scam underway, targeting editors who attempt to publish Wikipedia article(s); see WP:SCAM for more information. If you have been approached by someone offering to create, accept or otherwise help publish an article in exchange for a payment, please e-mail the details to paid-en-wp@wikipedia.org. This may help others in a similar situation to avoid becoming victims of this vile scam.
PS: If that someone claims to be me, they emphatically are not!

about MingYang Electric

It has been corrected for a long time, but there has been no review. Athena-en (talk)07:17, 6 November 2025 (UTC)~[reply]

@Athena-en: yes, I can see that you submitted Draft:MingYang Electric on 23 Sept, which was approx 6 weeks ago. As you may have seen, the message on top of the draft says "This may take 2 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 2,776 pending submissions waiting for review." Please be patient. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:21, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, don't you have the authority to review? Athena-en (talk) 07:45, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, yes, yes I do.

Are you in a hurry? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:47, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Silk Road Mountain Race

Hallo, I see you recently CSDd this, A1 and A7: I was alerted by a removed link from a page on my watchlist. I think I can find good enough sourcing for an article on the topic - could you please let me see the removed page, in case there's anything useful to be gained from it? Thanks. PamD 09:12, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @PamD,

Sure, the entire content was:

The Silk Road Mountain Race is an unsupported cycling race in Kyrgyzstan.

(That's it. No sources.)

I gather (see User_talk:Green189carpet#Your_articles) the author is keen to develop this and other similar articles, and would probably welcome an opportunity to collaborate with a hugely experienced user such as your good self, if you'd be willing; for the opportunity to learn the proverbial ropes.

Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:44, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Love Without Boundaries: assistance requested

- Draft:Love Without Boundaries (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi. Thank you for reviewing the LWB submission. I added multiple media articles, totaling 18 news articles and podcasts, yet the draft was declined in less than 60 seconds. Are NONE of these considered acceptable third party sources, not even the ones posted on foreign government websites? Should I delete some of them? Thank you for your assistance.

Akindofmagick (talk) 19:38, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Akindofmagick: if you mean the inline external links in the draft, then to be perfectly honest, I didn't even look at those. They shouldn't be there, because inline external links are not allowed. I looked at the 'References' section, where footnotes corresponding to inline citations appear, and there are only two sources there, the organisation's own website, and that of the IRS. You need to remove all the inline external links and convert them to citations where relevant. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:43, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, DoubleGrazing. Just added two more official foreign govt reports; I'll convert them all to references. Many thanks! Akindofmagick (talk) 19:52, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just resubmitted - crossing fingers and toes!! Thanks again for your help! Akindofmagick (talk) 20:33, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Revised draft for review

Hello, I have manually rewritten my article in plain language, added verified Croatian and EU sources, and removed any machine-generated or speculative content. The article is now written entirely by hand, based on reliable references. Regarding the photograph: the portrait of me was taken by photographer Juraj Vuglač, whom I commissioned and paid for the work. He is the author of the photo, but I hold full rights to use it. Once he sends the official permission email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org and it is confirmed, I will reinsert the image into the article. Thank you very much for your time and for reviewing the article again. – Melinda Šefčić Melinda Šefčić (talk) 14:58, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
