Welcome to project WP:QAI, and thank you for your contributions to the Recent deaths corner. I'm collecting references for Karl Berger, - would you have time to help? Several albums are commented out, and could return with a ref. One by one, please, to avoid edit conflict. A simple support would also help, if you can get behind it. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:24, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt Sorry for not getting to this soon enough! It appears you've already helped cite them all, but I can definitely support it now. Cheers! Fakescientist8000 15:55, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
Thank you! - "It appears" - exactly, but only because I commented out some. If you have time go in edit mode for "As sideman", and look them up from the top, while I go from the bottom, referencing and opening one at a time. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:24, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Audience bias moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Audience bias, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 TT me 14:52, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Mac Jones 2021 NFL awards.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines, please add the appropriate non-free use tag and rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 02:19, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

ITNC formatting

Hi there. You might not have been aware, but the convention at WP:ITNC for marking the status of a nomination (e.g. "closed", "ready", etc.) is to use parentheses, not brackets e.g. [Closed] (Closed). Brackets cause a problem if someone wants to wikilink to the section, as they need to be encoded to work, while parentheses do not. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 15:46, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
