Review

Hello @Rambley! Thank you for reviewing the page (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Sanjib_Bhattacharjee). This is my first article, but after consulting with numerous people who said that the page looks fine (no notability issues) and is ready to submit again, I took the action. The comments you gave were about the Metro newspaper. These 2 particular articles are not tabloid articles so I thought they would be fine since it is a national newspaper. The other publications are specific to the Road Safety field and are highly well-known and regarded, and have all given significant coverage of Mr Bhattacharjee, not just passing mentions. In regards to the use of LinkedIn and Guido Fawkes, these are only on addition to the other sources and if need be I can remove them, but the information seems to be accurate. There are also international newspapers (ie. The Assam Tribune) and also local newspapers like the Ilford Recorder which I have used as well. I have previously removed the Daily Star mention but this was not a tabloid mention either.

Please advise. Flyhigh223! (talk) 22:13, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:METRO. In regards to LinkedIn and Guido Fawkes, these are self-published sources and as such are not regarded as reliable. All of these sources should be removed. Please see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources for information on the reliability (or unreliability) of certain sources.

I did another spot check of the sources and I still standby my former point. The Independent article only mentions Sanjib at the very end in a brief sentence or two. One of the two Road Safety GB articles is titled "OPINION: backlog of driving tests threatens Britain’s road safety" and thus the reliability of the piece is.. questionable. The other Road Safety GB article has no author and I can find no editorial policy for the site itself.

While the election results and British Empire medal are fine, they do not count as significant press coverage of the subject in question. The source from The Guardian isn't actually The Guardian, and is instead the Waltham Forest Guardian. Press releases also cannot be used to establish notability; see WP:PRSOURCE.

While there are a handful of sources that are genuinely reliable and offer significant coverage of the subject like the Intelligent Instructor and the Ilford Recorder, I hope this message outlines there are just too many problems to accept the draft. Our job as AfC reviewers is to review whether an article is the right fit for mainspace and if it would survive AfD. Right now I am unsure it would survive, and thus I declined it. I believe with enough work it may meet Wikipedia standards, though. Hope this helps. Rambley (talk) 22:44, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Rambley thank you so much for your advice. I have worked on it a bit more, am I supposed to also remove the Metro articles? I included the LinkedIn archive previously as I saw this done in other wiki articles but I have now removed this, as well as the Guido Fawkes. Please let me know. Flyhigh223! (talk) 11:35, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Rambley, just to check if you've seen the above? Thanks Flyhigh223! (talk) 18:51, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was at work when you sent the previous response and I get many, many messages here about AfC submissions. You should remove the Metro articles too. Rambley (talk) 18:54, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, totally understand! I've now removed those articles, is it okay to resubmit? I really appreicate your time. Thanks! Flyhigh223! (talk) 17:55, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you want a reviewer to take a look at it, feel free. Rambley (talk) 14:04, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I thought that you are also a reviewer, since you looked at it last time or does Wikipedia randomly allocate reviewers to AfC submissions? In this case, if I submit again, would it be accepted? Thanks again for your time. Flyhigh223! (talk) 16:31, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t spend all of my time reviewing drafts and another reviewer may have a different opinion than mine. I have been quite busy the last few days. If you want a review, submit the draft for review and someone will take a look at it. I cannot guarantee it will be accepted. Rambley (talk) 16:42, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What is my sandbox and how can i use it? --WikiPro10 (talk) 17:02, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As the name implies, your personal sandbox is a playground of sorts for you to make test edits or other types of edits unsuitable for an article, such as testing features like infoboxes or other templates, drafting new articles, etc. I use mine to create early versions of drafts before I create the real article and to make test edits relating to sources.

Question from Napoleonfanboy (23:10, 19 July 2025)

how do i switch to dark mode --Napoleonfanboy (talk) 23:10, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dark mode can be enabled by going into your preferences. Under the 'Appearance' tab, scroll until you find a 'color' drop-down. The, you can change it to 'dark' (or 'automatic' if your browser uses dark mode by default). Alternatively, you can put an extension on your browser that applies a dark mode filter to all appropriate websites. Best regards, QwertyForest (talk) 14:23, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from GridIronFootballNC on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College Football (23:28, 19 July 2025)

Hi there,

I’m submitting a request for the creation of a Wikipedia article about Lamont Reid, a notable former NCAA athlete. I wanted to see if there was any interest for a former D1AA athlete. --GridIronFootballNC (talk) 23:28, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nine times out of ten a requested article will likely not go anywhere. It is easier to write it yourself if you can find reliable, secondary sources. See Help:Your first article. Rambley 🦝 (talk) 01:37, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from WikiPro10 (01:30, 21 July 2025)

How do I delete a wikipedia page? --WikiPro10 (talk) 01:30, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries @WikiPro10, I have tagged it for speedy deletion. Make sure in the future that you don't hit publish on edits that aren't ready—especially if they create a new page, because those are more complicated to undo than problematic edits to existing pages. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 01:44, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Fischerjr1 (17:55, 21 July 2025)

Hello! With careful review, is it possible to create a Wikipedia page for a business I work for? Otherwise we'll just be hiring someone to do it for us, and I'd rather create it in an honest way. We meet all the criteria (we're big, have large followings, have big media mentions and features). Thanks! --Fischerjr1 (talk) 17:55, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In theory, if your business is as big as you say it is, then another editor will likely come along and create the article. Conflict of interest editing is frowned upon here.

If you must, please submit your article through the AfC process so neutral editors can review your article draft for neutrality, source reliability and tone. Since you work for the company, you will need to declare your paid editor status as part of the WMF's terms of use; please see WP:PAID on how to do so.

Check out Help:Maintenance template removal, specifically the "Removal" section. That guides you through the process of removing templates in both the visual and source editors.

I took a look at your contributions and I will note I've seen a few instances where you've been removing reliable references with no rationale. Please do not do this; either keep the references in place if there's nothing wrong with them, or remove them with a valid rationale explaining why you removed them.

Question from BobinaHotdog (15:04, 28 July 2025)

Hi Rambley! When adding fresh information to a page, what type research should be used? Is like quoting from Britannica or looking in a physical encyclopedia generally accepted? --BobinaHotdog (talk) 15:04, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Secondary sources are the most preferable sources of information when writing prose for articles. You must write what the source says in your own words; copy and pasting is almost always frowned upon and can lead to, at best, removal of the content, and at worst, blocks on your account. Basing information off other encyclopedias can be a good start, but it’s best to use secondary, reliable sources and write in your own words. Rambley 🦝 (talk) 15:21, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
