Draft page review request

[edit]

Hi @Setergh, Thank you for reviewing my article on Abraham Osinubi earlier.

In line citation has been added to the article. Kindly review my submission again. Here is the link to the article Draft:Abraham Osinubi.

Thank you Redstarwiki (talk) 09:15, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Accepted! Definitely not the best article, and there are a few problems I want to point out:
  1. Please don't make your headers bolded
  2. Ensure your citations come after punctuation not before (as in .[1], not [1].)
  3. Try your hardest not to use Wikipedia:Primary sources.
  4. Ensure that if you use multiple sources next to each other, they are together, not far apart (do this[1][1][1] not[1] [1] [1])
Either way, congratulations on your first page! Setergh (talk) 16:26, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Setergh for approving my submission and for the corrections and feedback! I'll definitely edit the document and apply this to my future articles.
By the way, what else do I need to do to make the page live? Redstarwiki (talk) 08:47, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't exactly understand, what do you mean by what do you need to do to make the page live?
And glad to hear you're willing to take the feedback, good luck in future editing! Setergh (talk) 15:36, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Setergh,
The article “Abraham Osinubi”, which you previously reviewed, has been marked as “written like a résumé.”
I’ve gone through other articles to understand the appropriate tone, but I’m still struggling with it, especially since I’ve been flagged for plagiarism three times, which has made me extra cautious with my wording.
Do you have any tips that could help me improve?
Thank you.

Hey! I'm not exactly the most experienced individual of all time (therefore, if you do take my advice and it somehow causes you problems, I am incredibly sorry and please do tell me about it so I may learn from my mistakes as well), but I'll try my hardest.
I'll go bit by bit:
  • The "Early life and education" section comprises of very simple statements and achievements. In other words, this would fit a resume. It seems that it's more listing what he has (as if he's applying for something) rather than going in depth. To avoid this, I'd either recommend finding more information on the matter that may help you or rephrasing things. An example may be instead of "He attended All Saints' Anglican Primary School in Yaba from 1969 to 1975 and Government College, Ketu, Lagos, from 1975 to 1980, where he served as Head Boy and graduated with a Division One Distinction in the West African Examination Council examinations.", you could perhaps change it to "From 1969–1975, he attended the All Saints' Anglican Primary School located in Yaba. Afterwards, he went to the Government College in Ketu, Lagos, at which he started in 1975 and then left 5 years later in 1980. There he served as the Head Boy and graduated with a Division One Distinction in the West African Examination Council examinations."
  • Quite frankly, the rest of the article seems to suffer from the main problem. Most of it is listing his achievements, his roles, and more, however it doesn't exactly go in depth. For example, it says that he was promoted to full Professor in 2015. However, it doesn't state what he may have done under this role. Therefore, I recommend searching for more sources (or using sources that are already on the page) that may tell you what he did during all of his roles. However, don't become too focused on this! If you're struggling to find any sort of information on this, then quite frankly, stop trying to improve the page. By then, it is mostly out of your control, so there's no need to think that it's entirely your fault for the problems that may be on the page. I'd love to see you start making new pages, in which you use all the skills and knowledge you've acquired and make the best pages you can!
Best of luck to you in the future! I'm very glad you decided to ask me about this, as it shows you're willing to do the best you can. Setergh (talk) 17:57, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for your insight.
I will review my language and see if I can find anymore depth to it. I will keep you posted on my progress.
Thank you once again. Redstarwiki (talk) 05:30, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Setergh
I followed your advice and have edited the article but the tag “written like a résumé” is still at the top of the page and I can’t find the in-line citation to remove it.
Do you know how I can go about this?
Thank you Redstarwiki (talk) 11:22, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! I see it's been removed now, however, in the future, either:
Visual: Simply press on it with your mouse and press "Backspace". For mobile just press it but instead press "Delete".
Source: You should be able to find the code right at the top, therefore just select it and remove it.
I also see one of your big edits got removed. I do want to state that please don't make insanely long lists, as it's simply unneeded and way too long. Setergh (talk) 17:20, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your help @Setergh Redstarwiki (talk) 22:20, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Queries re Infobox

[edit]

Re your recent edits on War of Jenkins Ear, and queries on use of references etc.

Wikipedia standards are not always clear and are frequently "interpreted" by individuals to provide the "right result". However, having spent a fair amount of time reading the guidelines, there are two essential points of principle regarding the Infobox and Lead.

(a) The Lead and Infobox are a SUMMARY of the article (for good reason, since Wikipedia data shows 60% of readers only go that far). Many edits get reversed because the editor doesn't check whether the changes being made are covered in the article, which is where they should be made FIRST.

(b) Wikipedia specifically says you should only provide references in the Lead if it is a particularly controversial point. The detailed discussion and associated references should be clearly visible in the article body. Robinvp11 (talk) 09:20, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why you feel the need to state this two months later. Setergh (talk) 16:24, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to delete this entire thread if you don't find it helpful.
If you're now wondering why I've come back this for a second time, its because this is EXACTLY the point at issue in the Polish-Swedish War (1626-1629), ie revise article FIRST, then edit the Infobox/Lead to ensure it reflects that content. Maybe I wasn't clear enough first time round.
Getting these in the right order would save you a lot of editing, but its your time I guess. Robinvp11 (talk) 17:30, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say I understand what you mean now, based on WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE. I do apologise for the earlier (and current) confusion then. Considering it is Gvssy interested on working on the article, I hope he does decide to update the "Outcome" section and then puts in the result he wants to. Thank you for the help.

A topic about the Ottoman-Iranian war of 1821-1823

[edit]

Thank you for contributing to this war page by reading the sources. If you look in the discussion section of the page, I've left a source there as well. If you'd like to use it, here it is. BEFOR01 (talk) 22:50, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I suggested adding a new source. A supporting source about the page's conclusion. BEFOR01 (talk) 13:28, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again

[edit]

Can we join the discussion in the discussion section about the 1821-1823 Ottoman-Iran war and reach a common decision? Your last edit appears to have been reverted, even though you checked the sources. BEFOR01 (talk) 14:04, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
