Great flattening, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

You referred to notability on the Chen Weihua talk page, although I don't think you were making any claims about whether the subject itself was notable. I would like to hear your opinion on the article's notability though. I don't think there's any chance of an AfD being worthwhile if an IP were the only one making the case.

1. WP:PSTS, part of the policy WP:OR: "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources, and to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources." or WP:REPUTABLE, part of the guideline WP:RS: "Articles should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy."
2. Most of the article's overview of Chen's career and education are based on profiles that are published by outlets he is affiliated with (universities, newspapers). These profiles are usually submitted by the subject and are only subject to stylistic edits. They are not independent. What remains are a series of articles published that mention or discuss Twitter arguments he has gotten into in the past five or so years.
3. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ira Brad Matetsky (2nd nomination) closed as delete, with the cited rationale: "I am particularly persuaded by 28byte's remarks about the "problems with piecing together a biographical article about someone about whom no proper biography has been written in reliable sources. You get woefully incomplete and outdated scraps of information that do not cohere into a proper, comprehensive narrative about the man’s life and career." We should take this into consideration for all BLP articles, frankly." Do you see this case as analogous?

Honestly, looking through the sources, a number of them are obviously garbage. I think I'll go ahead and start a AfD. I can't see him meeting WP:BLP or WP:NJOURNALIST. guninvalid (talk) 03:33, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Guninvalid! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Passengerpigeon (talk) 03:40, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You recently reverted an edit on 2025 California Prop 50. You appear to have made a mistake regarding your removal, so I reverted it. An organization's own webpage is considered a valid source. Lists of endorsements should only include endorsements which have been covered by reliable sources, which may include the organization's own website or official social media accounts. News media is itself a reliable source. Based on your criteria, I noticed that you did not remove other endorsements that fell under the exact same criteria (endorsements published by the media organization itself), nor did you remove media endorsements from effectively every election page on this website. I figured you made a mistake when reading the sources. BobSmithME (talk) 09:54, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To add to the above: using the flawed criteria about 'primary sources', almost all of the organizations & media endorsements in major elections like the 2025 New York City mayoral election or 2024 United States presidential election would have to be removed.

Recordkeeping note: This is in reference to Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (government and legislation)#RfC: Proposed new naming convention for elections in communist states. Will update with archive when available. guninvalid (talk) 08:54, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

Short summary:

1. In liberal-democratic systems, an election is:
   1. A stand-alone event;
   2. Centered on competition for power;
   3. Determining which party or coalition governs;
   4. Based on individual votes expressing preferences.
2. In communist state systems, an election is:
   1. A stage in the continuous process of people's participation and political renewal;
   2. Conducted within the existing power framework, not to change it;
   3. Designed to affirm the unity of the people, not express division;
   4. Managed through transmission belt mass organizations, not parties in competition.
3. And this means that communist state constitutions and practice made elections only one step in a cyclical process of governance:
   1. Nomination through transmission belt mass organizations.
   2. Consultation and discussion about the nominees
   3. Formal election, typically with near-unanimous approval.
   4. Continuous accountability — deputies or delegates were expected to report back and could be recalled.

I have written and created the articles supreme state organ of power, unified power, and communist state constitution. I am also planning to create an article titled "Communist state elections" (or "Elections in communist states") and "System of state organs of power", as well as improving articles that I have already created, such as the permanent organ of the supreme state organ of power. Wikipedia is lacking many basic articles on communist states, and I have taken it upon myself to create them and improve the existing ones. To make a cohesive article structure that make sense both factually (and for our readers), the election names should also be changed.

But I woke up yesterday, and understood I was overthinking it. What about, instead of the 2019 North Korean parliamentary election, we go for 2019 North Korean supreme state organ of power election, or instead of the 1984 Soviet legislative election, we go for 1984 Soviet supreme state organ of power election? Would that be an acceptable compromise? TheUzbek (talk) 08:05, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In short, @TheUzbek, I simply don't agree that elections in ML theory differ eniugh from Western democratic elections to warrant a title change. That's what they're based on, after all. In fact, while ctrl+f-ing, I noticed that the very first paragraph of the SSOP arricle section on elections clearly states that according to ML theory, elections are indeed elections. I do think it's justified to strike "parliamentary" from many of these titles, but adding SSOP would, again, be overly WP:PRECISE at the cost of being WP:CONCISE. I think it's worth putting SSOP in the first paragraph of the articles, if not the first sentence, but I don't buy that it's worth attaching to the titles. If for no other reason, because the strongest silly American has no idea what that is, and the weakest North Korean doesn't speak English. guninvalid (talk) 08:24, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As long as you are for striking parliamentary, we have already moved places. As for the average American, do they even know that these states organised elections? I do not buy it. To your point regarding election; I am at a bit of a loss about what you mean. Election means election, and in that way all elections are similar. All countries have states, but the states differ and we, therefore, call them by other names: democracies, fascist, communist, dictatorship etc. However, they all share more similarities than what they like to admit. They all have legislatures, heads of state, heads of government, judicial institutions etc. But we use these terms to highlight the differences. So, yes, you are right, elections in communist states are elections, but the election system is very different from that found in liberal democracies and elect another type of legislature with another set of powers.

Do you understand? :) TheUzbek (talk) 08:42, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate the warm reply. I do agree with your comment, but my overall thoughts are that while it's definitely worth differentiating between the systems of elections, I disagree that it must be done at the article title level. Hell, the USA and UK election systems are not very similar either, and the 1792 US election has very little in common with the 2024 US election. We differentiate these when possible, so UK elections to Parliament are parliamentary elections, and US elections to Congress are congressional elections. But all elections taken on Election Day altogether are just called elections, with parliamentary, gubernatorial, and presidential separated into their own articles. So I do think it is worth specifying the organization being elected in the title, but for the singular election day event electing to all organizations statewide, keep the status quo. guninvalid (talk) 08:52, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As an addition, points 1 and 4 of your Western democracy election description could, at least nominally, apply in Soviet elections. By their collapse, points 1-4 applied. It can be argued that point 1 doesn't apply, but it's hard to argue that in a sense that doesn't also apply to USA elections. Points 1-2 of your communist elections could also apply in the USA and UK. The USA's existing power framework is the US Constitution, and the UK's existing power framework is The Crown. Point 3 can, at least nominally, also be applied to the USA and UK. Even point 4 can be argued to include the USA, especially given the historical power of the captains of industry (see Gilded Age and Second Gilded Age^[a]). As for your conclusion, traditional lobbying exists just as much in USA elections as it does in Chinese or Soviet elections, perhaps far more. And while Western democratic elections tend to be nowhere near unanimous, sometimes they are: see the USA in 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944, 1980, and 1984. guninvalid (talk) 08:37, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No they couldn't. Elections were not organised in these states to change government, even theoretically. The point was to mobilize the masses behind the communist state and its programme. There has been some cases of 4 in communist states, but in Cuba, North Korea, and China all elections above the grassroots are non-competitve.

"A stage in the continuous process of people's participation and political renewal". What I mean that these were elections that did not take place on a day. In some liberal democracies you have two days because you have two rounds. In certain communist states had more than 10 rounds. You also had to participate in nomination meetings. The amount of obligatory events exceeds that of liberal democracies. So no, they are not the same.

Yes, elections in both system seek to maintain the constitutional system. However, in liberal democratic system voters can change the government. You can't do that in communist states, at least in the sense understood in the West.

America does not have transmission belt organizations. It categorically does not.

For some apparent reason you are going out of the way of trying to reduce the differences. TheUzbek (talk) 09:01, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do think it would be a very good idea to have a Elections in communist states article or one of similar scope, and I'm frankly surprised one doesn't already exist. I think one useful idea is to link to such an article in the first sentence of an article, such as "The 20xx Communist State elections took place on 1 Janueen, 20xx. The elections affirmed the Supreme state organ of power within the state..." Though in practice, it would be better to link to the corresponding country article, such as Elections in North Korea. guninvalid (talk) 08:43, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I know I’m technically supposed to be on wikibreak, but I am going to briefly come out of said break because I have a complaint about an IP that you warned last month. I gave the IP a welcome template a couple weeks ago, and since then, apparently the IP has been following me around and editing stuff that I’ve either created or recently edited, and has been doing so in such a sneaky way that I didn’t even notice it until I accidentally opened my watchlist tonight and looked at it and noticed the above IP (182.185.42.137) had edited a bunch of redirects that I recently created. And while these were constructive edits, they were literally every redirect I’ve made in the last two weeks, almost as if the IP looked into my contributions history to follow me around, really creepy. If you have any doubts, go compare that IP’s contributions with my creations log. It was so many of them, I thought it was a new page reviewer or a patroller making those edits at first until I looked and saw it was an IP. I wouldn’t normally be assuming hounding/harassment/stalking, but given the IP’s previous warnings, including a level 4, makes me more inclined to believe it’s a NOTHERE case. What should I do? Should I send it to ANI, or what? Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 02:15, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This was apparently around the time you gave the warning. So apparently it’s been between around the 11th and 15th of October. I only just now discovered it. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 02:19, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh deer, not this goober again. I don't think taking this to WP:ANI would be prudent, just because I'm not sure what kind of administrative action is actually warranted. This kind of WP:Wikistalking is indeed very strange behavior, but if it doesn't arise to the level of outright harassment, it'll be hard for any real action to occur, especially since none of their reverts truly seem like vandalism. The only action that might occur is a brief touch-grass break (which they've already said would not be effective) or an WP:IBAN, which would also not be effective. If anything, it might be better to take this to the WP:TEAHOUSE to see if anyone else thinks it's worth taking to WP:ANI or WP:AN. guninvalid (talk) 08:32, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They didn't even revert anything. That's the thing. All of these edits appeared constructive, to such an extent that normally they wouldn't be raising red flags. A few of them did show up as possible problems on the watchlist but that's it, probably a false positive. I initially thought it was like a new page reviewer or something until I looked at who made them. But it was the same IP on redirects and articles I had recently made. Like there were a bunch of ZIP code redirects (37738 and 99723 were a couple of them, the ZIP code for Branson, Missouri, the ZIP code for Vail and Aspen in Colorado, etc.), there was an edit to the Patrick Morrisey article, there was an edit to the PI address redirect, one to the Great West Virginia Derecho redirect, one to the Mw scale redirect, one to the Azərbaycan Mərkəzi Bankı redirect (in Azerbaijani language), one to Juche 114 redirect, one to Te Pūtea Matua redirect (in Maori language), one to Club for no growth redirect, one to Goblu, OH and Beatosu, OH redirects, one to Bundesrepublik Deutschland redirect, one to Mount Paektu bloodline, and others. ALL of these were redirects that I created (except for Patrick Morrisey, but I did create redirects that lead to that article). In total there were probably at least 30 or 40 maybe more redirects that I created that this IP followed me around on.

If it happens again I will let you know, I will be watching my watch list like a hawk. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 17:52, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The only reason why I am not taking it to the tea house is because they abruptly stopped editing after October 31, and there hasn’t been any following since your warning on October 15. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 18:08, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's a disappointment, but maybe not a final rejection. I am devoted to the subject, and realize it may take some time. I invite you to review the editorial comments in View History that I made to show my thought process for proof of the care with which I created this AfC. Despite the formality of my tone, which may have come across as NLP, there is a human writing this.

Let's start with the problem of the citations. You state they are "completely improperly formatted." Can you provide a little more feedback here? Many of them were hand-corrected by other Wikipedia reviewers on prior dates, to show me, as a first-time submitter, how to do them properly. They are not all in the same format, but I was under the impression that the author had a little bit of latitude on this point. Guninvalid, can we begin a conversation on this point? Many of them, although not all, used the citation templates. None are bare links. I am a first-time submitter, so I am a little unclear whether communication between reviewer and author are in any way common or expected. Let me know. I'm ready to learn.

After reviewing the relevant Wikipedia policies, I can see now that there is merit in what you are suggesting, and that you are doing your best to apply relevant Wikipedia policies in light of their historical applications.

Therefore, the best thing for me to do is probably to retain the text of the ST section somewhere where I can find it later, and then trim this section back substantially to its original proportions when I first inserted it, while retaining some of the improvements I made to citations and verifiability. If I choose, I can attempt to write a separate Wikipedia article on synthetic tracking later, and that can become its own project. Rome wasn't built in a day. My problem is I may be trying to do that, and in the process, creating something that is not properly in the style of Wikipedia. I do not want to do this. I can stay within guidelines, and still find ways to keep the ideas of ST in a stand-alone, if it meets notability guidelines. Joe Cerniglia (talk) 13:10, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I have now trimmed the section on Synthetic Tracking by more than 50%. (I have also trimmed preparatory comments I made on this Talk page, which have been superseded by later thinking that was more in tune with your editorial judgment.)

I have a question for you? Have these cuts eased your editorial concern that this section is evolving to be off topic? If no, then I will need to do more. If yes, would you consider removing the banner on the section that states that the section may be off-topic?

Additional update: The modifications have improved the ORES rating as shown.

ORES Prediction prior to cuts: FA: 31.3% GA: 31.2% B: 23.8% C: 11.1% Start: 1.9% Stub: .006%

ORES Prediction after the cuts: FA: 46.5% GA: 25.1% B: 15.5% C: 10.9% Start: 1.4% Stub: .005%

Message: ORES believes that your editorial direction is helping. Who am I to second-guess? Joe Cerniglia (talk) 01:21, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update 11/22: I have rewritten the section to bring it back into alignment with the topic. I discuss these latest changes on the article's Talk page. Thanks for your feedback on this section. Joe Cerniglia (talk) 01:23, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update 11/23: Hello again! Thank you for allowing this space for a conversation, and thanks for the idea of putting the synthetic tracking section under the heading "Orbit and Classification." While I understand the wish to subordinate this section to others to make it feel topical, I'm having trouble seeing how the methods the astronomers used to detect the object using synthetic tracking relate to the somewhat dryer list of orbital attributes of the object. However, I can see how the title of the section itself, "synthetic tracking etc, etc." is awkward and stands out. My doing it that way breaks the "template" of other asteroid articles by not only positing a section no other asteroid article has but also suggesting to the reader "this is something you should know about" without giving them any clue in advance of why they should. Therefore, I am proposing, and have enacted in the article, an alternative solution. Instead of subordinating this important section, I propose to give it a more generic name: Discovery Methods. By calling it that, or something like that, it signals to the reader that they will learn how the object was discovered, a question that any reasonable person might ask. That title also sounds like a generic topic heading rather than a novel idea an author is proposing, and it does the job a header should: It tells the reader which box has been checked rather than obligating them to figure that out as they go along.

Again, I appreciate the many changes you've made. It has helped grow and improve the article in countless ways. It is a privilege to collaborate with you.

Update 11/30: Hello again! I wanted to let you know I will be removing the banner at the top of the section that states, "This section may contain material unrelated to the topic of the article. Please help improve this section or discuss this issue on the talk page." I am doing this for two reasons: 1. Banners are, as we realize, not intended to be permanent fixtures. They are a call to fix the problem in question. Since I have written the section to be better connected to the main article, the problem no longer exists. I let the banner stay for a few days, even after fixing the problem, to allow you and other editors to express a further opinion if you or they decided it was warranted. I presume from the lack of commentary on this banner that there is not much else to say, other than it was thoroughly addressed and resolved in the best possible way. 2. The banner may be dissuading new editors from reviewing the article. You have stated you believe the article should receive a second review. We both want the article to receive the fairest and most unbiased second review that is possible. Removing a banner that points to a resolved issue is one step toward that shared goal.

If you believe that this banner should not have been removed and that the section is still off topic, feel free to put it back with an explanation of why you believe the problem has not been resolved, and I will do my best to address that concern. Thanks again for reviewing my article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe Cerniglia (talk • contribs) 11:56, 22 November 2025 (UTC), signed 08:11, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joe, appreciate the message, even though I only got around to actually fully reading it just now. But congratulations on the accepted article! Have you put any thought into breaking synthetic tracking into its own article?

In the future, I would caution against removing tags like this in the draft process. Those can be helpful for draft reviewers like myself to gauge whether noticed problems have been solved. But now that the article has been accepted, it likely has. Happy editing, and thanks for improving Wikipedia! guninvalid (talk) 08:18, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Guninvalid! Just leaving a message to ask whether you've considered applying for new page reviewer rights? I see that you're active at AfC, with some participation at AfD as well. I think you would be well suited to the role, though reading WP:NPP wouldn't go amiss! If you have time definitely consider applying for a trial run and maybe sign up for WP:AFCDEC25 too! If ever you want to chat with other new page reviewers, there is a Discord server for NPP specifically, listed at WP:Discord#Other servers! Thanks! 11WB (talk) 00:41, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @11WB! Nice to see you again. No, at this time I'm not interested in NPR rights, especially since the AfC backlog is bad enough as is. Additionally, there are other aspects of Wikipedia policy associated with NPR that I'm just not interested in learning at the moment. But perhaps I will in the future. Thanks! guninvalid (talk) 10:19, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! The AfC backlog will definitely be reduced next month thanks to the drive. You are always welcome any time! 11WB (talk) 13:21, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is an editor who is doing something I can't even comprehend at this article. It's not vandalism, but the editor appears to have a vested interest in making the page say something that their source does not back up. The editor has improperly added warnings (they have now added a block warning, which I'm sure non-admins can't add) to my talk page. They have improperly started an RFC, then changed the meaning of the RFC halfway. They have engaged in egregious Synth and OR violations. They have removed or misquoted sources without reading the content of the source at all. They have apparently deliberately vandalized parts of the page to make auto reverts more difficult. They also apparently have such a limited grasp of the English language that they cannot engage in reasonable discussion despite the fact that most of the things they want have literally been put into the article after they added proper sourcing. I have no idea what to do with this editor. BobSmithME (talk) 09:39, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, dear Mr. Guninvalid. I truly appreciate your work and the time you have kindly given me. However, regarding my submission, I cannot agree with your decision to reject it. You wrote that there are not enough sources covering this project. But have you ever tried to imagine living in the reality that these young people face every single day? When rockets and bombs are falling on their heads? I am certain you have not. Yet these young creators are surviving in such conditions every day, and still trying to create something beautiful in this terrible world. What publications can we speak about when most independent journalists and media have left the country because of this horrific war? And those who remain can only write about the brutal reality of this bloody conflict. And now you make such a decision — at a moment when there was hope that you could help these creative young people who did not run from their country, but who, despite the horror around them, are trying to create something beautiful within the film industry. Mr. Guninvalid, I kindly ask you to reconsider your position and your approach. Or please advise me where else I can address this matter. With deepest respect, Yaroslav RagdayFan (talk) 09:05, 28 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Recordkeeping note: This topic relates to Draft: Alexander Kartozia.

thanks for your review of Alexandre Kartozia -- can you reconsider? He used to be the Minister of Education from 1998 until 2004, so a full cabinet member, and in that way merits inclusion. There are not so many sources about him from the time, as English language coverage on Wikipedia is limited. He is currently the ambassador of Georgia to Germany, so that also merits inclusion, plus he is a scholar.

Yes, the article still needs a few sources, but we can continue adding to that. ~~~ Hundnase (talk) 08:45, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Education minister could qualify him for WP:NPOL, but we would need WP:RELIABLESOURCES, preferably >3, to establish that fact. guninvalid (talk) 09:03, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for your reply! I added a few more sources. Again, the problem is that poverty of English online sources in that period. He had been mentioned here, and I now added incoming link (sorry if not using the right term).

Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia#Ministers of Education of Republic of Georgia

he also has his own Wikidata form. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q58606459

I am sure he will be cited more often now that he is an ambassador. (He also is a published author.) Thanks again for your consideration. ~~~ Hundnase (talk) 14:16, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
