Your contributed article, Put Libai[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Put Libai. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Putlibai (dacoit). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Putlibai (dacoit). If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Fram (talk) 13:20, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fram: Thanks for letting me know, but I did not create that article. I did edit it in a minor way; sometimes I use AWB to check new articles, and it made a few improvements to this one. I think I might have then made a couple of changes manually as well, but that is all. And I am not surprised that it was deleted.--Gronk Oz (talk) 22:19, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for James May (vascular surgeon)[edit]

On 6 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article James May (vascular surgeon), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that James May led the team that transplanted a patient's right hand onto his left arm? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/James May (vascular surgeon). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, James May (vascular surgeon)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Help with 'orphaned' Wiki Page.[edit]

Hello, Gronk Oz. I noticed that you put the page that I created, 'Dennis Loughran', as an orphaned page. I'm trying to make it not an orphan, but I can't seem to get the hang of it. Can you please help? Clay2004 (talk) 16:10, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Clay2004: I'm happy to help where I can. First things first - I see that the article has been put back into a draft (Draft:Dennis Loughran) due to the lack of references. You have added some references and submitted again, and that assessment can take a while so keep on improving the article in the meantime. References are all-important, but not just the number of them - focus on good references, in reliable sources, that talk about the subject in depth. As it stands now, whole sections such as "In Hotel Transylvania 2", "In Hotel Transylvania 3", and "Personality and traits" do not cite any sources at all, and that is likely to be a problem when it gets re-assessed. I notice that the articles about the movies have a large number of references, so a good resource for building this article might be to look through those for discussions of Dennis.
The Orphan status is a minor thing that can be addressed quickly once the references are built up and the article is moved out of Draft into Article space. That will just be a matter of editing articles like Hotel Transylvania 2 to include a link to the new article. That article already talks about the character, so it will just take a quick edit to make that into a Wikilink. But it can only happen once the article is promoted to article space. And that can only happen when it has adequate references. You have made a good start on them; keep going just like that for the rest of the article.
I hope this helps; feel free to get back to me if you have any questions.--Gronk Oz (talk) 05:14, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I messed up the previous attempt to ping @Clay2004:.--Gronk Oz (talk) 05:15, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Gronk Oz. I'm trying to find good sources for those sections. But the sources I could find are for the design and the reception sections. I might need some good suggestions of websites to get some sources from.
If you have good suggestions for websites, let me know. Clay2004 (talk) 12:49, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Clay2004: Sorry, this is not my subject area at all, so I can only offer general advice. I would probably start by looking at the articles like Hotel Transylvania 2 and Hotel Transylvania 3 to find the parts that mention Dennis (or the characters in general), then check the references that are related to those. A bit here, a bit there, and it builds up.
Also, if you go to the brown-ish coloured box at the top of the Draft, and click to expand "Editor resources", it gives several tools to help find sources. Try using those to search for the character name and also for the movie titles. Finally, you can try asking for help - either on the Talk pages of the articles about those movies, or at Wikipedia:WikiProject Animation/Animated films work group - people put in a lot of work finding sources for those other articles and perhaps they have some that could be helpful for you.
You have time; this doesn't have to be done in a day. Best wishes!--Gronk Oz (talk) 13:13, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I will definitely do that. Clay2004 (talk) 13:22, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Westcott Clarke[edit]

Hello @Gronk Oz:, could you please review my draft of actor Westcott Clarke I summited some days ago? Byejai (talk) 12:27, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Byejai: I'm not a new page reviewer, so I can't really help directly. I suggest you contact the editor who looked at it before (Theroadislong), to ask whether it is improved sufficiently - but please be aware that there is a large backlog of submissions for review, so it may take some time.--Gronk Oz (talk) 13:31, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to join the Ten Year Society[edit]

Dear Gronk Oz,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Ten Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for ten years or more. ​

Please help with the article Moneyview[edit]

Hi, thanks for cleaning up the article Moneyview. I've added links to Moneyview in a few relevant places, and I'm hoping I've addressed the WP:O issue. Can you please also help with how I can address the other issues? As I've mentioned on the Talk:Moneyview page, I feel this article satisfies WP:N. I'm hoping you can help me with suggestions on how to take care of WP:NPOV. Shashwat986 → talk 06:30, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shashwat986: Another editor has removed the Orphan tag. If you want to contribute to the Notability discussion, the best way is to list the best three sources. Look for reliable sources that discuss the company in depth. List links to the best three in the discussion at Talk:Moneyview#Article Maintenance Tags: WP:N - Company is notable. This will allow editors to evaluate how good they are.--Gronk Oz (talk) 16:06, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article for George John Seaton[edit]

I am Jeorgia O'Brien, the author of the George John Seaton page that you voted to delete. I am reaching out to you so that you may review the new updated article. I am working with Washington University in St. Louis as a student author. Our class if also paired with the Wikipedia Foundation for Education. Our goal is to share the stories of Outcasts who have been forgotten in history. It is important to me that I am able to publish this article so that I can share Seaton's story.

As I have been working on improving the article, there are now over 10 new sources that are all secondary sources and relate to George John Seaton. I have implemented many changes including formatting, word choice, and the removal of any primary source quotes. Please review this article once again. If you have more improvements, you would like me to make, please visit my talk page. I will be happy to continue to make changes. After reviewing the article, if it meets notability requirements then I would love for this article to no longer be flagged for deletion and/or you update the comment you made on the talk page for deletion. I am doing my best to follow Wikipedia's guidelines while also sharing a story of a man who should be remembered.

Best, Jeorgiaobrien (talk) 03:27, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeorgiaobrien: - thanks for getting back to me, and especially thanks for taking such a collaborative approach. Wikipedia is by its nature a joint effort, so working with other editors is vital and you are certainly showing a willingness to do that. I see that you have also put this response in the Deletion discussion, so that all the editors can see the update - that is the right way to go about it and I will respond there.
On a personal level, I commiserate with the difficulty that comes from having only sparse supporting documentation - albeit in a slightly different field. In my case, I like to write about people who have made significant scientific contributions. Unfortunately, there has been a culture in the scientific community that actively discouraged people from getting any publicity. This has meant that sometimes people were not considered notable at all, until suddenly they were because they won a Nobel prize or similar. But the people who came second and third that year, who have made contributions of a similar level, still don't get an article. Frustrating. And you will face a very similar difficulty with your aim to "share the stories of Outcasts who have been forgotten in history" - Wikipedia is a place that reflects what has already been written about the subject, so if they are "forgotten in history" then there may be very little to work with.--Gronk Oz (talk) 04:40, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I appreciate your help and willingness to respond.
I am thankful people are willing to highlight forgotten names in science. I saw on your home page that you retired from software computing. I am a mechanical engineering major and I also enjoy science and mathematics. As a female in STEM, I greatly sympathize with the women in history who’s contributions to science have never been recorded. In fact, my cat is named Rosalind after Rosalind Franklin. She goes by “Roz” for short. Luckily for Franklin, she was rightfully credited for her discovery after her death.
Again, thank you for getting back to me and continuing to improve the history or scientific figures.
