LeBron hater 234

Fomenting hatred against a well-known living person is contrary to the WP:USERNAME ↗ policy and so I have blocked that account. Cullen328 (talk) 02:17, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

:I ''guess'' so. It feels a bit like WP:BITE ↗ing some new kid who just doesn't like the Lakers ↗, but we've got to draw the line somewhere. I'll do my best to encourage the user to change their username and get back to editing. I always hate to see potential valuable editors get discouraged because of things like this. Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 03:27, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
::Also, it appears you didn't leave a message detailing to them ''WHY'' they were blocked. It's important to do that, so they can correct what they've done. I'll do my best to sum that up for them, but keep that in mind for the future. Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 03:31, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
:::"Potential valuable editor"? Their ''only'' contribution other than choosing a hate mongering username was to throw a random person's name at the very bottom of a school article without context or a reference. Assuming that is a living person, that is two BLP violations. I blocked this account as not here to build an encyclopedia ↗, since there is zero evidence of positive intent. You then told them that I {{tpq|appear to have forgotten}} to leave them a block notice. No, I did not forget. I am very careful to leave block notices for any editor who has made positive contributions. This person hasn't, and so, as I often do in other NOT HERE cases, I decided to leave no notice to discourage time wasting and wikilawyering. You then chose to act like an adminstrator and leave a friendly, welcoming message containing a false presumption about me. I suggest that you re-think your approach. Cullen328 (talk) 22:11, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Everybody's got potential. My first edits were stupid, too, but i've grown to love the mission of this place. Besides, it's best to follow the proper procedures. And what's wrong with being friendly? Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 01:45, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Question from SourCruz

hey, Im new here and I just wanted to add a small YouTuber I like. I thought it would be nice and put him on the map. but It's still confusing and I'm not sure on how to make a page. I just hope you publish it so I can see it in the wild. I hope I can get some help SourCruz123 (talk) 04:12, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:@SourCruz123, first of all, Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you're here. Currently, the main problem is ''how'' your references are formed. Instead of how you've got it now, put ref tags around the link you're sourcing, like <nowiki><ref> link </ref> (don't forget the "/" in the last one, or it won't work).</nowiki> There's more info you cad add using various reference templates (when editing the article, the templates should be available in the top left corner), but as long as the link is there in the proper form, that'll work for now. There's a bot, and other users, who can go through and fix that later if you don't want to bother with it. More details on this whole process can be found at WP:ILC ↗. I reccommend you give that a read. Once the references are formatted correctly, other reviewers can give the draft a look-see and help you with the process further. Best of luck, and don't hesitate to ask me, or the nice folks at the teahouse ↗ any questions you have. Cheers! -Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 04:21, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Regarding Decline of User:Saroj/sandbox

Hello Commandant Quacks-a-lot, thank you for reviewing the draft for Priyanka Chahar Choudhary. The current submission includes newer sources and coverage that were not part of the previous AfDs, the latest being from February 2022. I'd appreciate it if the draft could be reviewed on its current sourcing and merits. If the sources are still considered insufficient, I completely understand. Thank you. Saroj (talk) 18:01, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

:Yeah, the article ''does'' look pretty good as it is. I'll have to talk to some admins, see what they say about it and have them unblock page creation of that article. I'll try to ping you in the conversations, so you can chime in. It might be a while before I get a chance to do it, though. Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 18:15, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Draft:William Greer

:Hi,
:I'm a bit confused about why my draft (Draft:William_Greer) was declined for lacking inline citations.
:I have fully cited the career section and the production discography table with direct, individual links verifying the credits for each track. The footnote numbers are active and link straight down to the verified sources at the bottom of the page.
:Could you help me understand what specifically is missing or what else needs an inline citation? It looks to me like everything is fully backed up by a source.
:Thank you for your guidance! ScattterBrains (talk) 16:13, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
::@ScattterBrains - You've sourced the "Production discography" perfectly. However, you have to source '''every''' section using Inline Citations, not just the discography. Every major fact needs to have an inline citation. Once you've got inline citations ↗ in the "Early life" and "career" sections, you can resubmit the draft.. If you want to reuse the same source several times, you can; see WP:REFNAMES ↗. Looks like a good start, though! If you have any more questions, or I've failed to explain it clearly, feel free to reach out to me. - Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 18:25, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
:::Oki tysm I believe I got it now I resubmitted it ScattterBrains (talk) 20:00, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Yep, that looks right! Good work! Looks like Bonadea has already re-reviewed and declined it, too. You're well on track to getting it accepted, though! Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 01:29, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::Will someone review it again since I submitted it. ScattterBrains (talk) 01:48, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::::::Yep, someone will eventually. Sometimes that can take just a few minutes, sometimes weeks or more. I probably won't review it again, in case another editor can find something I've missed. Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 01:50, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Sergey Khrabrykh ↗

Hello. Could you please review this draft? An additional source has been added that describes the person. The article also contains other sources. Thank you very much! ~2026-30242-88 ↗ (talk) 12:22, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

:Well, {{ping|~2026-30242-88}}, currently it's not submitted for review, so I couldn't accept it even if I tried. However, there are a few problems I see. Firstly, there's a lot of unsourced content. That's bad for any article, and ''especially'' an article about a living person, or "BLP." ↗ There's some unsourced information in the "Biography" section (i.e. the first two paragraphs and the bit about his construction work), and the entirety of the "Persecution" section. It looks like another reviewer has put some {{cn}} tags elsewhere in the article, too; make sure to get sources for those. Also, ref number two, at https://cyberleninka.ru/, is sending back a Cloudflare ↗ 520 error, so I can't really check whether or not that's a good source at the moment. That's probably just a temporary downage, but I can't give you any feedback there at the moment. SO, get those sources in there, and then resubmit it, and I or another reviewer can give it another look-see. Best of luck! -Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 14:09, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

:@KirbySoda -Sure, I can check it out! NO promises I'll accept it, but I'll definitely look at it soon. Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 12:57, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
::Thank you! I just want to know if I'm still missing something in the article in case it gets rejected. Thanks for replying to me though KirbySoda (talk) 13:55, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
:::@KirbySoda - Okay, so the main issue appears to be that sources 4, 6, and 8 aren't independent. Since they're written by the company themselves, they can't be used to show notability (of course they'll write about themselves), nor can they be used for verification of facts (while it's unlikely they'd lie, you never know). So, try to replace those with independent sources, like the other sources you've got.
:::Also, source number 3 leads to a 404 error. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like The Wayback Machine ↗ has archived it, either,<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20260000000000*/https://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/687142</ref> so you'll have to replace that with a different source. Looks like you're real close to getting it approved, though. Cheers! - Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 19:52, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Sure, thanks for getting back to me. I'll try to sort it out and find some independent sources to replace the ones from the company. Another user also mentioned that one of the links led to a 404 error (I must've forgotten to remove it), so I'll try and get that replaced too. I'm really glad that you helped me out though and I'm excited to have the page submitted soon once its cleared up, cheers to you too!
::::🍺 KirbySoda (talk) 20:02, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Sorry to bother you again, but am I allowed to use the same source more than once? Lets say a news article has information which I can refer to multiple times in article. KirbySoda (talk) 07:51, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::Yep, that's absolutely okay! Just be sure to use named references ↗. Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 13:17, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
::::::Sure, thank you! KirbySoda (talk) 17:08, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::::Ofc! Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions! Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 18:00, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
::::::::One final question, you told me that I shouldn't cite the company's own sources in the page, but I was wondering if I can cite them in certain bits of info that can probably be confirmed as true such as reported profits or store locations, as its unlikely that any independent sources would accurately have that information. Thanks again :) KirbySoda (talk) 10:34, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::I guess you probably could. However, it would not show any notability ↗, so you'd have to make sure to add some more sources elsewhere in order to do that. Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 12:53, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

:@Wikigenius2026 - Currently, the main issue is your references. At the moment, You've got a lot of external links scattered throughout the article.

Chateraise draft is complete! (or I think it is)

Hi again! I spent some time clearing up the draft and tried my best to add more references to the article. If you have the time, I was wondering if you could have a look through it again so it could be published. Of course if there are still any mistakes I'll be willing to fix them.

I would offer another beer for you in return, but with the new UI I can't seem to find the feature that adds those drink pictures anymore. I suppose just a thank you will do? So thanks again :) KirbySoda (talk) 09:06, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
