You did not provide a source to support your addition of that middle name. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 23:12, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What middle name? Tavin Marin & Richard Titus divorced 15 years ago and she is remarried and lives in New Hampshire.

Sir what's the problem at my side Proactive M3 (talk) 01:49, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits appear to be generated by an LLM, break the WP:MOS, and introduce spam links in place of proper bibliography sections. Please stop. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 01:56, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
but the information is correct Proactive M3 (talk) 01:57, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You haven't used a single citation AFAIK and introduced a boat load of red-links. I've undone your edits. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 01:59, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

change reverted

[edit]

Hey can you go put my change back on Larry Nance’s page? It somehow got reverted even though I had a citation and it’s a pretty common nickname for him. Thanks! BobaFettPlays (talk) 02:07, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your citation appears to be Tiktok, which is not a reliable source. We can't add nicknames based off Tiktoks. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 02:08, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

[edit]

Hello, you left a message on my talk page about infoboxes. I usually edit in the French Wikipedia/Wikidata so perhaps there are differences among editing styles and preferences. I think it may be more common in French to link infoboxes to Wikidata. I thought that having infoboxes linked to Wikidata would ensure that information is always up to date & as complete as possible? For example, I just added a more precise statement in Wikidata indicating Caroline Monnet's birth place and it now reflects in the infobox. Spaghetti.linguini (talk) 16:13, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Spaghetti.linguini Hi- on enWiki we usually tend to use the dedicated infoboxes over directly pulling from Wikidata. I'm not sure why this is done, probably just due to enWiki being the older and larger project and edits on enWiki tend to end up propagating towards Wikidata rather than the other way around.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Quick speedy deletion nomination

[edit]

Hello there, and thank you for your help with NPP! I wanted to reach out because I noticed your recent A7 speedy deletion nomination of African Parliamentarians' Network on Development Evaluation (APNODE), which occurred two minuates after the article was created. Per NPPHOUR, articles shouldn't be nominated for deletion if they are actively being edited (except under obvious circumstances, e.g., vandalism or attack). In practice, this means articles shouldn't be nominated for deletion if they have been meaningfully edited in the past hour.

I understand and sympathize with wanting poorly sourced stubs out of main space, but we also need to recognize that it can come across as bitey to nominate an article for deletion too quickly -- especially considering that articles in mainspace do not need to be complete, and editors are allowed to develop articles in the mainspace.

I hope this makes sense. Thank you again for all your help with NPP. It's definitely appreciated! Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 20:04, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was aware of waiting at least an hour for Draftifying, I didn't realize that it also applied to CSDs. I'll keep that in mind in the future- thanks. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 23:17, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What was not constructive about letting Wiki know about incorrect facts on a page that needs to be updated?

[edit]

Reply to your message

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Talk:List of longest-running American television series, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

That was a mistaken revert- I missed that it was on a talk page (not used to WP:AV not warning about talk page reverts)- sorry about that. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 01:27, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Help with my new drafted Article: Friedrich Georg Goethe

[edit]

Hello, you declined my submitted drafted article for Friedrich Georg Goethe. It included one reference, which albeit was to a Wiki family tree page. I appreciate you not deleting the article, and giving me 6 months of editing allowance before even the threat of deletion. This quote in my Decline message was nice: " If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted." However, I am not understanding the minimum criteria. If I had one more reference that met the standards you talked about, would it then be approved or do I need 2 or 3? I know there's not a hard number, but there must be a general consensus on what could put this over the line, and into the article space I've heard about? I have already found one more reference https://www.jstor.org/stable/jj.17072613, proving that he is related to a famous poet. Katykesklinn (talk) 14:31, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:GNG and WP:NBIO for how to establish notability. Notability is also not inherited, so merely being related to a notable person does not warrant an article. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 14:36, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think giving birth to the person who gave birth to Germany's best poet is noteworthy. I have tried reading that but it was difficult to pin down, and I'm looking for a bit of guidance and clarification. I've already read it, and still don't know this... if I can establish notability, how many reliable references do you see as approvable, to be an Article? Katykesklinn (talk) 14:43, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think giving birth to the person who gave birth to Germany's best poet is noteworthy. It most definitely is not, per WP:NOTINHERITED. You will need to find multiple sources that discuss him in detail specifically, not just in passing as Goethe's parent. The amount of sources is not what matters, but the quality of sources. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 14:51, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As well, his grandfather Friedrich Georg Goethe was a poetry teacher to him and great influence, in creating Germany's famous poet. That is how he is notable. I will do what you have instructed me to do, and find three sources to support that, so it can be approved to be an article. Katykesklinn (talk) 14:59, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft review Tail latency

[edit]

Hello Padgriffin, Thank you for reviewing my draft on "Tail Latency." I fully understand the concerns about notability. I think this topic is very important because it affects:

  • High-frequency trading systems
  • System reliability and performance
  • How we measure and compare system performance

Many people don't fully understand how tail latency impacts system design, even though it's crucial for many applications. I encounter situations at my workplace where this is a problem.

I will spend this weekend researching more academic sources and real-world examples to better support the article's notability.

Thank you for your time. Ainiriand (talk) 14:39, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
