Italic links

Thanks for adding Hegel Bulletin to List of philosophy journals, but please don't complicate things unnecessarily as you did here. Just put the italics marking outside the link - I've fixed this one. PamD 17:41, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @PamD, This must be an issue with the visual editor. I didn't check for the wikitext, as there was nothing wrong with the visual appearance of the article. But I get the gist, thanks for notifying. Xpander (talk) 06:55, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Arnold Vincent Miller (April 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Arnold Vincent Miller and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hi @Theroadislong, The subject has at least three obituaries dedicated to them, as well as a review of their work, all in reliable sources, possibly meeting GNG as well. Their translations has had an immense impact on the literature. Xpander (talk) 09:48, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Xpander1! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

May 2025

Hi Xpander1! I noticed that you recently made an edit at Ebrahim Karimi (physicist) and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia: it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Kj cheetham (talk) 10:13, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kj cheetham Thanks for the note. I try to avoid that but it sometimes happens by mistake. Best Xpander (talk) 10:15, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Easily done. :-) Keep up the good work overall. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:20, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Xpander1. Thank you for your work on Société française de philosophie. Another editor, Noleander, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Wording could use some work. For example: "it has welcomed the greatest representatives .." The word "greatest" is not appropriate in an encyclopedia, because it is a judgment. The voice of the encyclopedia should be very neutral and objective.

Hi @Noleander, thanks for the reminder. I have addressed that specific line in the article. If you see other issues, please let me know. Best. Xpander (talk) 12:59, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Xpander1. Thank you for your work on Atoosa Kasirzadeh. Another editor, Zzz plant, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Hi, I'm writing to elaborate on tagging the page with a notability question. H-index of 16 is too low for WP:NPROF C1, and I don't see any other things here like prestigious society membership, named chair, or chief editor for significant journal. I'm not finding WP:SIGCOV in independent sources either for a WP:GNG pass. Ultimately I suspect this may be WP:TOOSOON - the subject just became an assistant professor in 2024, so she is at the very beginning of her career. But if there is something I'm missing here then please go ahead and add to the article and/or reply here. Thank you,

AFD

Hi there - please don't nominate your own articles for AFD when you're actually hoping for them to be kept. If another editor redirects something you've created, they're going by WP:BLAR, which is a bold action you're perfectly allowed to reverse if you disagree with it. Then the burden is on the editor who first redirected the page to take it to AFD. If they edit-war with you about it, that's its own problem (also not one solved by taking the article to AFD, and definitely not something Onel would have done in this case). -- asilvering (talk) 14:10, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Asilvering, Thanks for your diligent notes. Yes you are right, there was a few oversights on my part, and Onel is quite a well meaning user. I've already thanked them for their generous contributions, on their talk page. Best. Xpander (talk) 12:11, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Atoosa Kasirzadeh moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Atoosa Kasirzadeh. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and she has made a good start, but it is too soon.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Ldm1954 (talk) 22:37, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
