Hi there, been a long time but I guess you remember me. Basically I found a very comprehensive coverage on a Pakistani international football player of the 1950s and I have intentions to soon do an article on him. Would like your input in this. The issue is that it is written on e-paper format so I'm not sure if that will be a problem, as it makes pretty hard to review and verify specially for someone who can't read Urdu. A bit blurry too which can even cause an issue for Urdu readers but I can make it work. The article on him was published on [[Nawaiwaqt]] which is a prominent Urdu outlet and a reliable source ([[User:Saqib/WikiProject Pakistan/Pakistani sources]]). It can be seen [https://www.nawaiwaqt.com.pk/E-Paper/karachi/2017-02-22/page-9?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR35i5fpqatLVbAidiEKOBDdLcoxiJ0rn_3BX5Z_n1O29AmOmOYB93hsty0_aem_Eb5NNeo_HQcWyDUbRJv2mg here] (bottom left section).

Hi {{{S0091}}}, it appears you removed content without discussing it on the article talk page. Please note that Wikipedia is not censored, and content should not be removed because it is controversial. If you believe the information is inaccurate, please reach a consensus on the article talk page. [[User:Raghav 1048|Raghav 1048]] ([[User talk:Raghav 1048|talk]]) 17:34, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
:Hi @[[User:JayFT047|JayFT047]] apologies for the long delay. This source looks fine to me on the face but I do not know Urdu so cannot comment on the specific article. If you do use it, include the page number so anyone who wants to review the article can easily find it. Consider asking ask at [[WP:WikiProject Pakistan]] where there are editors who know Urdu if you want a more solid answer. Hope you have a happy New Year!

:{{tps}} {{ping|S0091}} To give perspective, I believe this is about the [[University of Lucknow]] article you both edited.
:@[[User:Raghav 1048|Raghav 1048]] I think you are misreading/misapplying WP:NOTCENSORED, especially the part about ignoring {{xt|Content will be removed if it is judged to violate Wikipedia's policies (especially those on biographies of living persons and using a neutral point of view)}}. If content is inserted without a citation, it fails [[WP:V]] and can be tagged or removed. I don't see anything out of the ordinary about S0091 removing something without a reference, and would not consider that 'removing because it's controversial'. Please see [[WP:EDITCON]] regarding the process once text is removed in an article and how the process normally goes.
:One thing I want to point out - On October 4, you were reverted by multiple editors and restored the same removed text four times from the same article. Please be mindful of [[WP:3RR]], which is an offense that can get one blocked and contrary to the consensus building process.

::I would like to clarify that S0091 has been actively trying to remove the brief history of Canning College, which later transformed into Lucknow University. I provided several citations to support the information, demonstrating its relevance and historical significance. Despite this, S0091 removed all references without valid justification, seemingly attempting to erase important context about the institution’s past. It’s crucial for us to maintain a comprehensive and accurate narrative in the article, reflecting both the history and evolution of the university.

Please be aware the [[WP:BURDEN]] (read that) is on you to provide appropriate sources and you have been reverted and warned by several editors about adding unsourced content, yet you continue.

The previous history section mainly mentioned Mohammad Ali Mohammad Khan, but key contributors such as various nawabs, rajas, and Harcourt Butler’s government were overlooked. I included citations and historical photos to provide a more comprehensive view. Instead of revising specific issues, you deleted the entire section.

== Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin December Issue ==
Hi there, "S0091," I'm trying to create an article about Dr. Larry Glasser, a retired professor of physics and mathematics. I am not a mathematician (to say the very least), though since your review and rejection of the initial draft, I've gotten more info about him that I believe must qualify him as a "notable" person worthy of a wiki entry; for example, this from an incomplete PDF I received a few days ago (I need the sender to provide the entire PDF with the endnotes):
"Glasser has published over 400 research papers and three books in physics and mathematics with nearly 100 co-authors, including Norman March, Freeman Dyson and Jonathan Borwein. His Erdos number is 2. His eponymous results include Glasser’s Master Theorem, The Glasser Transform, the Glasser function, the Glasser-Lehman Theorem, the Onsager-Glasser Theorem and the Kaplan-Glasser State."
Given the number of hits I found just for "Glasser's Master Theorem" alone, Larry's work seems to be pretty important. I'm not sure how to go about proving something that I'm not really qualified to analyze myself, hence my reliance on the input of his nephew, who is a now-retired math prof.
(I am writing this article as a favor to his daughter, whom I have known for many years; I am acquainted only slightly with Larry himself. After I receive the complete PDF I mentioned above, I will finish the second draft and resubmit it, though having your input first would obviously make sense. Thanks in advance for any and all advice. —Lynn aka Mofembot)

:Hi @[[User:Mofembot|Mofembot]] first some "paperwork". Given your relationship with the family, you need to declare your [[WP:conflict of interest|conflict of interest]]. See [[WP:COIDECLARE]] but if you need help, let me know and I will add the declaration to your user page. I will also leave some additional information about rules regarding those with a COI, which also extends to Glasser, his family members and anyone associated with him. In a nutshell, having a COI does not preclude you from working on the draft but once it is an article, those associated with him should not edit it directly but rather make [[WP:edit requests|edit requests]]. I strongly suggest you make the family aware of the rules.
:{{pb}}I agree he very likely meets the notability criteria and we actually have an article about [[Glasser's master theorem]], which I have also linked in the draft. However, we cannot use what his nephew says so that needs to be removed. What is needed are published reliable sources that are accessible to the public (see [[WP:PUBLISHED]]) so anyone in the world at anytime can access the source(s). Therefore, the PDF his nephew provided you is not usable. See [[WP:Your first article|Your first article]] for some additional guidance about writing a Wikipedia article. As it stands now, it is not appropriate for an encyclopedia.
:{{pb}}Like you, I am not a mathematician but that's ok because we have editors who are. I am going to post a note at [[WP:WikiProject Mathematics]] to see if an editor active there is willing to help get the draft up to acceptable standards. I will ping you there. [[User:S0091|S0091]] ([[User talk:S0091#top|talk]]) 15:28, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
::@[[User:Mofembot|Mofembot]], I'll just add to what S0091 already said that I too am pretty confident Glasser meets the standards at [[WP:PROF]]. This is doable - you just need to properly source everything. -- [[User:Asilvering|asilvering]] ([[User talk:Asilvering|talk]]) 18:05, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

==Concern regarding [[Draft:Abigail Bassett]]==
== Would this be acceptable to you? ==
[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, S0091. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that [[Draft:Abigail Bassett]], a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months [[WP:G13|may be deleted]], so if you wish to retain the page, please [[Special:EditPage/Draft:Abigail Bassett|edit it]] again or [[WP:USERFY|request]] that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/G13|request it be undeleted]] so you can continue working on it.
Hello, I am currently at work and on lunch but wanted to reply to the Abigail Williams & Liberty German talk page (Reliability of sources discussion) but realized that the conversation between us was going off topic somewhat.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. [[User:FireflyBot|FireflyBot]] ([[User talk:FireflyBot|talk]]) 19:06, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
I didn't know if you would be willing to, but since our conversation is between both you and I on that page with no responses that I could see needing either of our posts necessarily and has seemed more focused on ''user conduct'' rather than ''article content'', would it be acceptable to you to possibly move both of our comments to one of our talk pages per [[WP:TALKOFFTOPIC]] and continue the discussion there? If not that is completely fine, but I don't have the technical know how to pull it off and don't want to touch another user's comments without their permission either way, and hatting the conversation without replying to you seemed rude. I figured I would ask before replying to try to keep the talk page more focused on content if possible.

== Draft:Karl Lagerfeld (brand) Article Submission ==
Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Scripts++|Scripts++ Newsletter]], covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. At press time, over 94% of the world has legally fallen prey to the merry celebrations of "Christmas", and so shall you soon. It's been a quiet 4 months, and we hope to see you with way more new scripts next year. Happy holidays!

Hi [[User:S0091]], hope you are well! Thank you very much for taking the time to review the [[Draft:Karl Lagerfeld (brand)|Karl Lagerfeld eponymous brand]] draft back in June, really appreciated.
In order to amend the draft to qualify for a Wikipedia article, and be able to resubmit again for review, I would like to get some further explanation about the reasons why the article got declined, and what can I do to improve it.
Can you please kindly let me know which parts of the article are not compliant with Wikipedia guidelines, the reasons why, and what can I do improve/amend those parts.
{{columns-start|num=3}}
Thank you very much for your support. Kindly, [[User:MB for KARL LAGERFELD|MB for KARL LAGERFELD]] ([[User talk:MB for KARL LAGERFELD|talk]]) 08:26, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

===[[File:Ambox important.svg|20px]] Improve a script===
Your feedback stated that "Sources are standard announcements, Hello! and Setlist fm are not a reliable sources", so I went ahead and updated the draft to remove any unreliable sources, opting instead for news sources such as abc News and Good Morning America.
* Many of our favorite scripts such as [[User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager|Fred Gandt/userResourceManager]], [[User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts|Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts]], and [[User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks|Bradv/Superlinks]] haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
* [[User:Elominius/gadget/media timer|Elominius/media timer]] and [[User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js|PrimeHunter/Search sort]] work, yet have alien [[user interface design]]. Someone could improve them...
* [[User:BilledMammal/Move+|BilledMammal/Move+]] needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3AWikiProject_Weather&action=history&limit=10&offset=202412150415 fiasco history].
===[[File:Ambox clock yellow.svg|20px]] Requested scripts===
The draft currently sits in review with a note of: "the submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article", why do you think this submissions is any less qualifying of a Wikipedia article in comparison to Let's Go! (residency) and Shania: Still the One?
We need scripts that...
* allow you to edit {{tl|sfn}} references graphically a la [[:User:Ingenuity/ReferenceEditor.js|Ingenuity/ReferenceEditor]]
* copy specific named references from other pages to help with splitting and whatnot
* make adding icons/links to the top toolbar (or other portlets) much easier
* graphically generate a {{tl|source assess table}}
* award a [[WP:Four Award|Four Award]]
* ...and many more, all available at [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests]]. Thanks to the editors at US/R—including [[User:Nardog|Nardog]], [[User:Novem Linguae]], [[User:Jeeputer]], and many more!—for their work in processing userscript requests this past year.

== E-paper as source ==
Hi there, been a long time but I guess you remember me. Basically I found a very comprehensive coverage on a Pakistani international football player of the 1950s and I have intentions to soon do an article on him. Would like your input in this. The issue is that it is written on e-paper format so I'm not sure if that will be a problem, as it makes pretty hard to review and verify specially for someone who can't read Urdu. A bit blurry too which can even cause an issue for Urdu readers but I can make it work. The article on him was published on [[Nawaiwaqt]] which is a prominent Urdu outlet and a reliable source ([[User:Saqib/WikiProject Pakistan/Pakistani sources]]). It can be seen [https://www.nawaiwaqt.com.pk/E-Paper/karachi/2017-02-22/page-9?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR35i5fpqatLVbAidiEKOBDdLcoxiJ0rn_3BX5Z_n1O29AmOmOYB93hsty0_aem_Eb5NNeo_HQcWyDUbRJv2mg here] (bottom left section).
