Draft:Kris Pavlidis

Because the original author caused a bit of a copy/paste page move mess, I took the liberty of going ahead and moving it as part of a history merge. Cyrius|✎ 01:24, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problems, thank you! GMH Melbourne (talk) 01:42, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging re GA review circles

FYI: There are enough articles listed at WP:Good_article_review_circles to start a new circle. No rush if you are busy; just thought you'd want to know. Noleander (talk) 22:56, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know! I have started a circle. GMH Melbourne (talk) 00:04, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I believe the person does meet point 3 of WP:NACADEMIC. He is an elected fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers and Engineers Australia. In specific criteria notes on NACADEMIC, it says "For documenting that a person has been elected member or fellow (but not for a judgement of whether or not that membership/fellowship is prestigious), publications of the electing institution are considered a reliable source." The draft does cite the awarding bodies' links for these fellowships. Once notability is established, in case of academics, their university website can be used for providing basic biographical non controversial information per WP:ABOUTSELF.

@HRShami Sorry about that, feel free to resubmit the draft. GMH Melbourne (talk) 04:22, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why have you placed COI tags on William Yang Wang and Carl Steefel. Both the articles were accepted through AFC, then review by NPP, and my COI was disclosed at the time of creation of the draft.HRShami (talk) 04:35, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Most, if not all of the content in these articles are not supported by Independent sources which is a concern when trying to build non-promotional articles that fairly portray the subject (per WP:IS). GMH Melbourne (talk) 04:53, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. I should not be interpreting sources that are not independent of the subject. When using a non-independent source, I should restrict my self to just facts and reporting. Based on this, I have removed the research section from Draft:Muhammad N. S. Hadi. I hope that resolves the issues raised by both the tags. HRShami (talk) 09:26, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I have resubmitted Draft:Muhammad N. S. Hadi. HRShami (talk) 03:42, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello GMH Melbourne:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in June!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Ryan Chilton - Third party Resource

There are a number of 3rd party resources which are independent for this draft and it is written in a non promotional way. Why do you keep rejecting this? The person is a notable figure in the Digital Marketing industry within Australia. 110.20.118.191 (talk) 23:13, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The World Destubathon

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help towards making the content produced as diverse and broad as possible!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:03, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

June Backlog Drive is almost over!

Hi! Thanks for participating in the Articles for Creation June Backlog Drive! We've done amazing work so far, dropping the backlog by more than 2000 drafts already. We have around 2900 drafts outstanding, and we need your help to get that down to zero in 5 days. We can do this, but we need all hands on deck to make this happen. A list of the pending drafts can be found at WP:AFCSORT, where you can select submissions in your area of interest. Thank you so much for your work so far, and happy reviewing! – DreamRimmer ■ 01:31, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

John Cain Sidebar

Hi Back on 9 Nov 2022 you added a sidebar to John Cain, but this somehow became a link to US poltician/civil rights activist John Lewis. I dont know how to correct so have removed for now. Feel free to fix up! Nickm57 (talk) 02:51, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I have fixed the issue! GMH Melbourne (talk) 01:07, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Nickm57 (talk) 02:17, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Review Olusola Jegede

Hello, could a New Page Reviewer please take a look at the article Olusola Jegede?

The page has been live for some time but is still unreviewed. I believe it meets Wikipedia’s notability and sourcing requirements, as it includes multiple independent reliable references. I would appreciate it if a reviewer could patrol and mark it accordingly.

Thank you for your time and assistance.Nnamdi93 (talk) 15:50, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
