Hi Ruud Buitelaar. Thank you for your work onBrachial amyotrophic diplegia. Another editor,Klbrain, has reviewed it as part ofnew pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thanks for helpfully creating this page, translating it from Spanish. Note that I've boldly moved it to the title that seems to be in more widespread use in English, although there's also an argument for using 'flail arm syndrome'! I've expanded it a little, but there's scope for further expansion; it would be great to have more about its cause, for example, but it seems that not much is known!

@Klbrain: Thank you for your review and contributions to the article onBrachial amyotrophic diplegia. I do recognize that that is officially the preferred english term for the disease. Indeed, very little is known about BAD/VBS. I was not aware of cases in which BAD is a consequence of a paraneoplastic syndrome and/or SOD1 mutations. Maybe BAD can be caused in different ways. I hope this article helps patients, family members, care workers, neurologists and researchers to understand that very little is known and to attract more attention to this rare and strange disease in order to broaden our knowledge about it.Ruud Buitelaar (talk)00:28, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission toArticles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Timtrent were:

This submission is not adequately supported byreliable sources.Reliable sources are required so that information can beverified. If you need help with referencing, please seeReferencing for beginners andCiting sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subjectqualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
• reliable
• secondary
• strictly independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meetall four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn aboutmistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Your references are weak in many areas. Some are PR pieces, announcements, press releases. One. at least, does not mention the org at all.

The table of members - how does it add value? What confirms that all those which you state are actually members?There is an external link, at least one, in the body. Please remove it.

Notability should stand out. This is hidden as presented here

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 resubmitafter they have been resolved.

Looks really good, thank you for creating it! If it gets replaced by a redirect don't worry about it all, it happens to other pages when there is no qualifying activity yet. Makes no difference because your work will still be retrievable in October anyway.18abruce (talk)20:28, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback and the corrections, @18abruce! I made it to better understand the process myself. I gave it my best shot for a couple of hours and still had some misconceptions.

Thanks for doing so much good work on this page.

Hi @18abruce, it is great fun to work together on this project. I am learning a lot. I hope to update the standings in the next few days. Safe travels!Ruud Buitelaar (talk)02:07, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Source with final totals is posted!! I spot checked that positions 26 through 36 in the individual distances were the right NOCs but have not checked the rest yet. We will have to watch the ISU for information on what they will do about the total quota being too high, unless you have ideas about that already.18abruce (talk)15:48, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! Now it is my turn to be on the road and some days even disconnected. I´ll do some checking and will keep an eye on the ISU website when I have time. Cheers!Ruud Buitelaar (talk)23:27, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your reason for proposing deletion is unclear. If the topic is notable, as I think it is, then I can stubify it. If it's a case ofWP:TNT, then I will get out of the way.Bearian (talk)08:02, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Bearian! Thanks for your message. In my opinion, the topic is not well defined. A software or a system, produced solely for nightclubs, that can be adapted to serve other types of venues? I do not understand what exactly the article is about, what NMS is and what it is not. More importantly, and that is the reason to propose deletion, the article is unreferenced. The article does not provide several independent, reliable sources that substantively cover the topic. If you have a different opinion, it you think there is a clear and notable topic, please deprod. If you can cite a couple of sources, excellent. If you deprod and do not provide sources, I will start an AfD where we can have a proper discussion.Ruud Buitelaar (talk)15:27, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Liz, problem fixed. I added pages to the empty category and removed the speedy deletion tag. My problem was that the category I had just created, did not appear as an existing category.

Hello @Ruud Buitelaar.

I am sending this message to you to ask you for help concerning an article marked as "article for deletion".

This article is here :Shahriyar Majidzade

The subject of this article is the founder of a research center which I am also a member of. After this article was marked as "article for deletion" on the grounds of "not being a notable person" I tried to edit this article to add more information and citations to justify the notability of this person.

After editing the article as a new Wikipedian "Jay8g" Messaged me  (User_talk:1amroff) and told me that my actions are considered as having "conflict of interest" because of the relationship between me and the subject.

He also told me that I can ask for help for this matter so someone proofread my edits and make the article a neutral one.

I would be very happy if you would help me.

Thanks.1amroff (talk)20:43, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
