Hi,Wikishovel! I noticed your contributions onVinzons Pilot Elementary School, I rediected onVinzons Pilot High School because it's not passed on notability perWP:NSCHOOL andWP:GNG. See my revision1269994951. Is it okay to redirect? I search that school, however I don't see anything about that school except for their Facebook page. I really don't know why it ispossible vandalism on redirect lol.RoyiswariiiTalk!12:41, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, no your redirect (with explanatory edit summary) was clearly not vandalism. The article creator may have misunderstood your redirect. But since the article creator has reverted the redirect, it will need to go to with proposed deletion or WP:AFD, as I can't find sufficient secondary coverage of the school to meet WP:GNG.Wikishovel (talk)13:05, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've prodded it for now. Guess we'll see what happens.Wikishovel (talk)14:33, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Wikishovel, I just saw your improvement on the newly createdTübingen school. Unfortunately I have created the page in place of a redirect. Therefore Is it possible to clean start the article? I have also made topic about this on theWP:Teahouse.Best.Xpander (talk)19:48, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've subscribed to that discussion at the Teahouse, and will help there if I can, thanks.Wikishovel (talk)19:54, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,Wikishovel!I'm consulting on this requesting move discussion ofTalk:Jhoanna (singer) § Requested move 16 January 2025. I'm confident that should be move to "Jhoanna" because there is no disambiguation about Jhoanna, there is aJoanna but it is not associated on the name "Jhoanna". Howard the Duck insisting to oppose and redirect to Joanna because it was a alternative spelling, which is true. However, news outlets, fans and all materials onBini are called "Jhoanna", and if we continue to insist and go to Joanna, it can be have a huge confusion and mislead to the readers, and I'm not an expert but, it can be confusion on Google algorithms too especially there is a Google Knowledge Panel for Jhoanna Robles. So, what do you think? It should be go toJhoanna' orJoanna? Also, you can join on discussion, thank you!ROY is WARTalk!15:28, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wikishovel

I’m reaching out as I spotted you've previously edited theInvestcorp page. I was wondering given you've edited the page before whether you would be interested in reviewing the further detail I have added to the Investcorp talk page?

For context, I work at Kekst CNC, a global communications agency that works with Investcorp to manage its communications. The agency has signed theWikipedia:Statement on Wikipedia from participating communications firms, which means I understand rules around COI on the platform.

I would really appreciate your review of our suggested edits, and would be grateful if you consider adding some of the edits I’ve suggested to the page.

Any questions or feedback you have would be much appreciated too!AmeliaP KCNC (talk)14:14, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

My name is Basant Kumar Shahi. I am interested in creating a Wikipedia article about myself.  

I understand that Wikipedia requires significant independent, reliable coverage of a subject before an article can be accepted.

Here is my official website with background information: https://www.basantshahi.com.np  

Could you please advise me on how to proceed within Wikipedia’s policies and whether the sources I have (news articles, interviews, etc.) might meet the notability requirements?

Thank you for your time and guidance.

WHAT? contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia??? Preventing the Mouse Trap page from being created is unfair and unjust, because it's an obscure legitimate avant-garde music genre. you all just have too normie tastes and ears to enjoy such music. And dont say ship like "its a meme genre" because on the Flex Entertainment Wiki page for Lil Staurt Little, it has the category "Serious Artists" so its serious. "contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia" my mother forking bass cheeks, you cant censor ship because its ship or you hate it. we all hate Hatler (at least i hope so) but we have an lengthy article for him, so Mouse trap should have an article even if you hate it or its "unlistenable".92.40.215.51 (talk)12:06, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nonstopable, happy to help with this, but according tothis source you cited, it's actually called "Payday Publishing".Their website uses both.

Hi @Wikishovel! I've come across many patrol edits by you whilst reviewing at NPP recently! Thank you for helping with the backlog! I don't know whether it is intentional or not, however I notice you don't mark the articles you patrol as reviewed. Just thought I would flag it! I can see you have been a new page reviewer for a while, so I am sure you are quite familiar with the page curation tool! Thank you!11WB (talk)18:16, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thanks for that. I tend to focus on cleaning up promising pages, and let other reviewers decide whether they should be marked as reviewed. It's probably not an orthodox approach, but in a way, it feels like grading my own homework to tag a page I worked on as reviewed. When it's something super straightforward like a dab page, then yes, I will pretty consistently mark it as reviewed.Wikishovel (talk)21:38, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply! That is definitely an interesting way to view it. As a new page reviewer, despite your feeling of it being like grading homework, the point of conducting these reviews is so that articles can be marked as such, this in turn allows them to be indexed on Google search and the original author notified that their article is approved for mainspace!11WB (talk)22:18, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see. How many similarly named articles are the minimum to create a disambiguation page? --Baal Nautes (talk)22:42, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There's no fixed minimum number. But adisambiguation page is normally created if we expect it to grow, to avoid maintaining a long string of hatnotes at the top of several pages. Are there other notable people called Pedro de Paz?Wikishovel (talk)22:49, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is indeed another historical Spanish general named Pedro de Paz, but he has little notability and information about him is scarce, so I'm not planning to create an article. So, two Pedros de Paz for now.Baal Nautes (talk)23:12, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! I wanted to let you know that I've declined yourG4 speedy deletion nomination ofHarry Sdraulig. In this case, the linked AfD occurred in 2006. Given the numerous changes that have occurred on Wikipedia in that time, as well as the information on the page discussing the year 2013, the article is ineligible for G4.

Hello there. I'm writing to you about mammalian BAF complex page. The heading should be "Mammalian SWI/SNF (BAF) Complex" but I couldn't change it.WikiBar35 (talk)16:06, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm happy to help with this. Since IANAB (I am not a biologist), let me ask: what's theWP:COMMONNAME for the complex, rather than the technically correct name?Wikishovel (talk)16:42, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for helping.

The name of the complex,SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF), is the general term used across species (for more on this, please see the "History" section of the relevant page). SWI/SNF complexes are found in yeast, fruit flies, and mammalian cells. In mammals, however, the complex is commonly referred to asBAF, which stands forBRG1/BRM-associated factor.

Therefore, when we use the termBAF, we are specifically referring to themammalian SWI/SNF complex. For this reason, the most appropriate heading would be:

"Mammalian SWI/SNF (BAF) Complex".

Currently, there is no term more widely accepted or commonly used thanBAF to describe the mammalian form of the SWI/SNF complex.WikiBar35 (talk)16:51, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. When I google for "Mammalian SWI/SNF (BAF) Complex", it seems to usually appear with a lowercase "c" for complex. This use of sentence case would also be consistent with Wikipedia's policy onusing sentence case in article titles. So how about we move it toMammalian SWI/SNF (BAF) complex?Wikishovel (talk)16:58, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. What's your question?Wikishovel (talk)14:14, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wikishovel!

I'm sorry to contact you as there probably is someone in particular I should contact for these kind of issues, but being kind of a newbie on Wikipedia (been editing for four months or so) I don't really know who to turn to. Anyways, recently I translated and adapted a lot of text from the Italian version of Wikipedia to expand and complete the article aboutPieve Emanuele, currently classified as a stub. I was wondering who to ask for the "promotion" of the article into an higher class of the scale, since it is now almost complete and it has all the sources. In my opinion, its definitely not anymore a stub.

Is there any way you could help me?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the bother.

DreDrefromItaly (talk)18:55, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dre, there's a helpful guideline on this over atWP:STUBLENGTH. It's definitely OK to remove the stub tag fromPieve Emanuele. And thank you very much for expanding the article.Wikishovel (talk)21:13, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see where you say there’s nothing online about him. I’m very confused. Why you’re stating this there’s numerous numerous articles interviews everywhere for multiple media sources from video to press.? please explain to me why you’re not seeing these sources or checking the sources listed why is this page being discriminated against this is really starting to put in the entire integrity of Wikipedia. Thank you .Learningmyway (talk)05:01, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Yes, there are some articles online about him joining Saving Abel in June, but most of them are interviews, and interviews alone aren't the secondary coverage that Wikipedia's notability guidelines require for a separate article. Please have a read ofWP:MUSICBIO: joining a notable band doesn't on its own doesn't make a musician notable. I couldn't find anysignificant, reliable, independent coverage of him, apart from his recent work with that band, but maybe you can? Thanks,Wikishovel (talk)05:18, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding , I really appreciate it.

I understand the concern about interviews, but in this case there’s more than just Q&As or announcement pieces. There are multiple independent articles and magazine features that go beyond that — Go Venue Magazine, Rock Documented, Rock News UK, and Ethereal Metalzine all published pieces that discuss Randy Arthur Webb’s background, performance, and role in Saving Abel from an editorial standpoint. They’re not connected to the band and count as independent secondary coverage.

Also, per WP:MUSICBIO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:MUSICBIO), the subject meets the notability criteria as the lead vocalist of a multi-platinum, Billboard-charting act and through his earlier charting work with One Day Alive (their single “Bringing on the Pain” reached #13 on the SMR Active Rock chart).

These references and chart credits establish verifiable, independent coverage that goes beyond routine announcements. I’d like to kindly ask that the redirect be reconsidered or reviewed so the article can stand on its own again.

Thank you for your time .Learningmyway (talk)05:24, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Under what authority are you blanking the draft, moving it to main space, and removing the merge template from the copied article?Wikishovel (talk)09:51, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Under the authority of the person who created it accidentally when I am already an established user. Check the IP they match. You seem to be confused and wanting to follow me around harrasing me. Example: you flagged another one of my articles for deletion with flimsy reasoning.Bhj867 (talk)09:56, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

please respond to the original question. Do you have the power to ban me from wp? Are you an administrator? Yes or no.Bhj867 (talk)10:00, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, and editors don't need to be administrators to revert disruptive editing. You're free to report me at WP:ANI if you think I've breached the letter or spirit of any Wikipedia policies. But watch out for the boomerang.Wikishovel (talk)10:02, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting to speedily delete an accidental unfinished draft, under my own IP address before logging in, is not "disruptive editing". Mistakes happen. I saw you stated the draft "wasn't qualified for speedy deletion". What's your reasoning for that, and under what authority if you're not an administrator? If you continue to follow me around, bark orders at me and flagging my articles for deletion when I have solid sources, I will absolutely report you to WP:ANI because I view that as targeted bullying. I'm putting the speedy deletion tag back on the draft that I created. An admin (which you are not) can verify the IP which I will put in the notes. I have been editing wiki articles since 2007. The functionality of the site may have changed a bit, but not so much as to where I will tolerate demands from random users. How's that for a boomerang.Bhj867 (talk)10:13, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome to add a db-author speedy tag to the draft, but please don't blank or move the draft again.Wikishovel (talk)10:15, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop yourdisruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an articlecontent dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or thearticle's talk page, and seekconsensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia'sdispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of therelevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia'sAdministrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Hello, I think an English nameUltra Supreme Elder Lord is better than the pinyin name "Daode Tianzun" which is not so convenient for westerners. Can you consider makingUltra Supreme Elder Lord the main article and redirect "Daode_Tianzun" to it ? I am working on the article and will add references later.

Futhermore,Ultra Supreme Elder Lord (太上老君) andThe Heavenly Lord of Way and Virtue (道德天尊) do not always carry a same meaning in Taoist theology, maybe it is necessary to explain them respectively.AlphaOmega999 (talk)09:58, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@AlphaOmega999: hello, and thanks for posting. Wikipedia doesn't allow two articles on the same topic, but if you think Ultra Supreme Elder Lord is a better title for the article, then you're welcome to propose renaming the existing article. It's a potentially controversial move, but that's OK: there are instructions on how to propose the change atRequesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. Please let me know if you have any questions about that process.Wikishovel (talk)10:02, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for your reply.

In articles of other languages such as Chinese and Japanese, etc., they all use the name "太上老君" which literally meansUltra Supreme Elder Lord, rather than "Daode_Tianzun", so I think maybe using the English nameUltra Supreme Elder Lord is a better choice, and it is better for westerners' understanding. Could you help me to request renaming the article ?AlphaOmega999 (talk)10:10, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to help you propose the move. Please post the exact text here that you'd like me to use when posting the request.Wikishovel (talk)10:12, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

What text do you need ? explain the reason ? or contents of the article ? If you need reason, that is:

The English nameUltra Supreme Elder Lord which is the literal meaning of "太上老君" may be a better article name for westerners' understanding, rather than a pinyin name "Daode_Tianzun", which may confuse westerners if they don't know Mandarin pinyin. Moreover, Wikipedia articles in other languages such as Chinese and Japanese all use "太上老君" as their article names, which literally meansUltra Supreme Elder Lord. Furthermore,Ultra Supreme Elder Lord (太上老君) andThe Heavenly Lord of Way and Virtue (道德天尊) do not always carry a same meaning in Taoist theology, maybe it is necessary to explain them respectively. Therefore, can we make "Ultra Supreme Elder Lord" the main article name and redirect "Daode_Tianzun" to it, or rename the article "Daode_Tianzun" to "Ultra Supreme Elder Lord" ?AlphaOmega999 (talk)10:39, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you've added the proposed move template at the article's talk page, thanks. I made one small technical correction to the template, hope you don't mind.Wikishovel (talk)11:15, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You deleted this article without reference to me or waiting for a response. This is rather unwelcoming and discouraging of occasional contributors. The basis of deleting is meant to be that it is substantially similar to the deleted one. That seems not to be the case. I have submitted the draft for consideration, which seems to be the correct process. ~~~~BallaratNation (talk)12:15, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just to explain, Wikishovel is not anadministrator so they cannot delete pages, they can onlyrequest they are deleted. In this case, I declined the speedy deletion nomination because previously (now deleted) revisions of the article only cited YouTube; this one at least has a go at citing some third party sources. I'm still concerned aboutquality sourcing for biographies of living people, which is why I moved it to draft space so it can be worked on further.Ritchie333^(talk)(cont)13:59, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Wikishovel

I saw your recent comment regarding my submission for Saad Ur Rehman. I volunteer on Wiki on a side, I am a journalist and a researcher. This individual is a personality from Pakistan who recently has blown up the internet following his arrest, and based on Google Analysts, more then 20 million people have searched about him online and there are hundreds of independent sources online about him, and it clearly show's the subject is notable to have a Wikipedia article, and I volunteered to create it so that all the people searching about him, can land to his wiki to know about him and the ongoing issue ( the legal and arrest section ) since that is What Wikipedia is all about, gathering factual information and gathering it up so it helps individuals know everything at one place rather then scattering through different article's online and reading and second guessing what is true and what not.

I would like and appreciate if you could redo the article, I can say with full confidence that the subject is notable enough, and the article aligns with the Wiki Guidelines for Biographies of Living Individuals.ChronoTexts (talk)18:11, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Since you added theUnreferencedtemplate to my new articleList of artists from Mecklenburg, I'd like to ask about the policy for lists. I'm of the general understanding that list articles do not require citations if the information on them is cited in the linked/listed articles, this seems to be pretty common on Wikipedia. In the same vein for example see:List of German artists,List of Russian artists,List of Guyanese artists; other such articles only list very few sources to a point where they are basically non-existent, examples in the same topic include:List of Latin American artists,List of artists from Lebanon. Most other lists, including those of political parties and people by nationality in general for example, seem to follow this same scheme.
Thus I'd like to ask: What is the policy on this? Is my assumption correct? And if not, there are probably hundreds of list articles with this issue.Frijfuhs (talk)02:36, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Frijfuhs, and thanks for starting that list. That's an excellent question, because you're right, there aremany unsourced stand-alone list articles on Wikipedia. But asWP:LISTVERIFY notes, list articles must be reasonably referenced like any article on Wikipedia. I'd be happy to help you find sources for the Mecklenburg list, if you like.Wikishovel (talk)02:42, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thanks for your work on this. Yes, there are a few ways you could go about it. Once you think the draft is ready for publication:

• you could add atTalk:Beef Wellington a new post announcing that you've done a rewrite of the article atDraft:Beef Wellington, and invite interested editors to improve it before merge. WikiProject Food and drink would also be a good place to ask experienced editors for comment and help, perhaps by simply posting atWikipedia talk:WikiProject Food and drink.
• Or, you couldWikipedia:Be bold, overwrite the contents of the current article with the new draft, and use theWikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle to arrive at aWP:Consensus on the best possible version of the new edits.
• Alternatively, instead of a complete rewrite, you could incrementally changeBeef Wellington a section at a time, using content from the new draft.

Also, I assume that by 1944 the Japanese Imperial Army Air Force was utilizing the Lampang Airfield and outfitting the base withNate aircraft. Is it correct to identify Thailand as the belligerent, which was only a proxy for Japan? I guess the pilots were Thai nationality, so, that works in favor of saying "Thailand". -Speed Demyn (talk)22:03, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Thai public message board, I have researched this event and I also agree with your point. Since it's unreliable source. I replaced with a published bookISBN 978-616-422-074-4 write by Military History and Museum Division, Air Force Archives Department, Royal Thai Air Force.

Yes, Lampang Airfield is part of its logistical network in northern Thailand. However, On that day, the imperial Japanese Army Air Force was't involved on that day.The Combat on 11 November 1944 was conducted entirely by Royal Thai Air Force pilot flyNate aircraft against U.S. Army Air Force.

Hi @Wikishovel! I’d really appreciate your thoughts on something involving theSkarsgård family article.

Originally, the page was moved to draftspace because it wasn’t ready for mainspace. Later, the same creator (TraTra1604) made a new version of the article directly in mainspace while the draft still existed. After that, another editor (BodhiHarp) redirected the draft to the new mainspace article without explaining why.

I believe the current article still isn’t ready for mainspace and it’s very short and barely sourced but I wanted a second opinion before requesting it be moved back to draft. Could you take a look and help assess whether redirecting it back to draft would be the right step, and whether BodhiHarp’s redirect was appropriate under AfC/Draft guidelines?

Thanks a lot for your time and help!Acrom12 (talk)07:18, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I agree the article belongs in draft for development, but as far as I know, there's no Wikipedia policy thatrequires this, unless "draftify" was the outcome of an WP:AFD discussion.

Thanks for clearing that up @Wikishovel, that makes sense! I really appreciate you taking the time to look into it. I agree it still needs quite a bit of work, so I’ll keep an eye on it for now.

Hello, Wikishovel. Per your request, your account has beengrantedtemporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals usingtemporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that isonly to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to reviewWikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed atFoundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Accessmust not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or moreIP addresses (using theCIDR notation format).

I’m only trying to include my Taimuri Pashtun tribe among the Pashtun clans, because we are part of the greater Pashtun family. But every time I add it, you remove it 😔Amir Gull Timuri (talk)12:12, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I already explained why in the template atDraft:Rajantheerthagiri, but you've removed the template. I've restored the template. I've also explained at your user talk page.Wikishovel (talk)23:28, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wikishovel, this is not cited (yet) since I await approval from [User:Utopes]]. In the template are many red items. Before trying to make them blue i made just 1, to see if that is agreeable. If so, I will properly cite it etc. I hope this is Ok. CheersHarold Foppele (talk)13:14, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello HF, please go ahead and add references, you don't need anyone's approval to improve an article. Thanks,Wikishovel (talk)15:40, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, but since it is part of a template that he created and it has a lot of red items I would feel better if he agrees. Maybe he wanted them removed instead. So thats why :) I shall cite it anyway. CheersHarold Foppele (talk)16:54, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was confused by it too, and strongly suspect it's not supposed to exist at all since there's no evidence of any other "Taxon listed on X" categories that I can find — but since it's template-generated, and even more specifically generated by a template function that's being farmed out to a module, I had no idea how to make it go away, so I had to create it as a hidden category to get it off the redlinked category report. But then I got distracted by something else and forgot to follow up on asking for assistance atWP:VPT, so thanks for the reminder. I'll look after that now.Bearcat (talk)14:52, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My thoughts exactly, about a lack of anything close to adjacent categories. Thanks for your help with this. 15:41, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Just an FYI, it hasn't been fixed yet but VPT has identified the problem — the module actually wants to pass through categories for eitherflora orfauna listed on CITES Appendix II, but it decides which of those to apply based on a parameter that'smissing from the box on Scottish wildcat, and thus fell back on taxon instead. So that's where the problem arose, hopefully it'll get fixed soon so we can delete the silly taxon category.Bearcat (talk)16:19, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, so at least we know what the problem is now. Thanks for chasing that up.Wikishovel (talk)19:22, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wikishovel, thank you for reviewing my draft. I respectfully disagree with the characterization of my sources as "predatory journals."

The sources I provided include:

• ECO-Q Award documentation from the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) - an official professional body
• Digital preservation of award photographs in Zenodo (CERN) and Internet Archive
• Professional recognition from IGI Global, an established academic publisher
• Academic award from Emerald Publishing, a reputable publisher

However, I understand the draft may need stronger independent sources to establish notability. Could you please provide specific guidance on what types of sources would be acceptable to demonstrate notability in my field? Thank you for your assistance.Anastasios Moumtzoglou (talk)16:40, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When I last checked, about 54% were flagged up as predatory journals. I strongly suggest you let someone unconnected with you or your work edit your biography. They would need to consultWikipedia's relevant guidelines for notability for what to include.Wikishovel (talk)10:39, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Summary: The {{Promotional}} tag has been added to this article. I,User:Shuvomzr, have reviewed the content carefully. The article is written in a neutral, encyclopedic tone and does not contain promotional or advertising language. All information is factual and supported by reliable sources.

• I kindly request other editors to remove the {{Promotional}} tag, as it is not applicable to this article.
• Future edits should continue to maintain neutrality and follow Wikipedia guidelines.

Shuvomzr (talk)23:29, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You've removed the tag yourself, on an article you created yourself, but the article is still highly promotional. You've refused to respond to any of my warnings about this at your user talk page. Please stop removing the tag.Wikishovel (talk)05:04, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for your recent move of the page.

I wanted to clarify my intention: my goal was to create a separate article specifically about thevote chori/vote theft topic, rather than merging it into2025 Indian electoral controversy

I understand your reasoning for the move, but I believe the subject may potentially warrant its own standalone article because:

• it is being discussed as a distinct concept/event,
• it may develop independently of the broader 2025 electoral issues,
• and separate coverage (if it continues) could justify a dedicated page.

Could you please advise whether it would be appropriate to create a draft atDraft:Vote chori and develop it there until enough reliable sources are available to move it to mainspace?

I appreciate your guidance and am happy to collaborate to meet Wikipedia's notability and sourcing requirements.

Thank you!Republic of Hindustan (talk)19:28, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'd be happy to move that article to draft, if you want to develop it into a separate article. Shall I do that now?Wikishovel (talk)19:35, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
