:Hi Greenman! Hope you're doing well.
:Thank you for the advice about the draft of Winston Utomo [English Version]. I have revised this draft to improve its neutral tone and encyclopedic style, and to rely on multiple independent, reliable secondary sources. I would appreciate a review to assess whether it meets Wikipedia’s notability and content guidelines. Thank you.

:Thank you for the feedback. I removed the unsourced date of birth and trimmed the draft substantially. I then rebuilt it around cited institutional and bibliographic sources, mainly the Hungarian Doctoral Council registry, Óbuda University-related institutional pages, and MTMT-based publication information.

:Hi Greenman, hope all is good.
:Thanks for reviewing my draft for Team Edge, I've been trying to revise this draft, although, I'm unsure which sources specifically are unreliable, can you please let me know. Thank you.

Advisement requested on page Mike Rakes ↗


Hello! Some years ago, you denied an article for submission about EU's 5th President Mike Rakes ↗. While reviewing the editing history of the page, I think your denial may have been circumvented and the concerns not fully addressed/resolved. I have posted some of my findings on the talk page.

I am a new wiki-er and have small conflict of interest (former Evangel Student), would you be willing to advise?

thanks a million!

( I am also reaching out to a couple others who have dealt with this page before, so if you see this language reused on other talk-pages I am not a bot, just trying to save some time haha).

:Hi Greenman.
:I added sections "Context" and "Concept". The most substantial change is addition of section "Critical reception" with concise summary of various reviews. There was already a section with that name, which included a list of reviews, and I renamed it "Reviews". I restructured content for clarity, relocated interviews to a dedicated section. Improved citing of sources, a few additions and deletions. Four sources are undocumented (including those published by two biggest newspapers in the country, Delo and Dnevnik, and biggest independent radio station, Radio Študent, dated in 1997). I've found the scans of original published reviews or interviews on the composer's website (http://www.borutkrzisnik.si/reviews.html , bottom of the page). Is there any acceptable way to document or link them? I updated "External Links" to include Discogs master entry and direct album link.
:Hope this helps to get my first article on Wiki published.
:Thanks!

Undo Rejection Request



I am trying to get a wiki encyclopedia published. It was rejected and I was hoping you could undo the rejection so I can continue to work on it? I understand the references added initially are not sufficient/significant enough for this. I was able to find some new articles that I think would be better. To confirm, I dont have connections with this person. I just have an interest in women's sports and think she's a great media personality that is helping expand women's sports coverage which is something I want to do as well so I think getting her wikipedia page could be great. she's an awesome media reporter for ESPN! she interviews big time athletes like Simone Biles, etc. Can you please undo the rejection? Hillaryasher (talk) 20:34, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Hey Greenman - hope you are well.
Thanks so much for reviewing our article uhomes.com (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Uhomes) and I apologise it was not up to your standards. If possible, can you share any examples of small brands that have a suitable wiki page that I can look to replicate? I just want to make sure that if I resubmit, it is closer to an acceptable standard required by Wiki.

Thanks and have a good weekend!

Padiham F.C.



The 1922 reference in Padiham F.C. (1878) confirms that the old club was defunct, so the current one is not the same entity, but a fresh one. Have now found a reference to the foundation of the current club in 1948 (although they did not have the ground ready until 1949, it seems) so will clarify.

Review Request



Thank you so much for the update on the Draft Rob Hersov article. I see you have been doing many South Africans and salute you on your contributions! I would like to ask if you could potentially assist me in going through the draft comprehensively and please assist me where you can, i have redone it a few times now and sourced new info, but struggle to understand what else I can do improve or enhance it. Your help will be greatly appreciated. WeAreMzansi (talk) 07:46, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{ping|WeAreMzansi}} I think as someone being paid for your edits, you shouldn't expect volunteers to do the work for you. I suggest reading the guidelines the reviewers point to. My most recent comment was that all statements need to be sourced. The very first statement in Draft:Rob Hersov ↗, the date of birth, isn't sourced. So you need to go through the article and either source or remove all unsourced statements. Greenman (talk) 06:39, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Gauteng ↗



I am confused about you reversing my weather post on "Gauteng": I was just highlighting the mild temperature in Gauteng in summer, which is important (below 30 C): i did not need to add more reference info as the required reference was just one line below. Also i find your wiki reversal note aggressive Johnb113 (talk) 21:35, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{ping|Johnb113}} but the added source doesn't the information it purports to verify? If the information is in another source, rather refer to that than add an irrelevant source. Also, the information is clearly incorrect. The average (and this is already an imprecise term) for Gauteng cannot possibly be equal to the minimum mean for Johannesburg in winter, and the maximum mean for Johannesburg in summer. Greenman (talk) 06:29, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Maloney


I have no interest in a promotional article, but I wonder how we could make a factual, independently objective reporting only article about Maloney Properties nonpromotional. Can you guide me? MaynardClark (talk) 15:10, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{ping|MaynardClark}} Descriptions such as "underscores her professional excellence in property management" and "exemplifies Maloney Properties' commitment to industry leadership and quality" are not suitable for an encyclopedia article.

Draft “Record for most goals scored in a calendar year”



Hi, @Greenman

Per WP:GNG ↗ and WP:VERIFIABILITY ↗, this topic is already covered in the article @IFFHS World’s Best Top Goal Scorer ↗, which establishes that single-year scoring records are encyclopaedic. To address the sourcing concern, I’ve added:


FIFA and Transfermarkt are accepted, reliable sources for match and goalscoring data in football. With these independent, secondary citations in place, the draft now meets WP:GNG’s requirement for verifiable, notable material.

Please let me know if you need any further references or adjustments. 004bvan (talk) 10:39, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

Draft “Draft:Guido Ascari ↗”



Dear @Greenman,

it has now been nearly two months since you rejected my proposal for an article on Guido Ascari, referencing the guideline WP:BLP ↗. Since then, I have removed the unreferenced and unsourced information as I could not find any reliable source for them, and I have include some other additional sources here and there.

:::Hi {{ping|Pereng051}} This ↗ seems to be the edit you mean. It was removed because it's unsourced. Statements need to have reliable sources verifying what they state. In addition, Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view. There is no 'our'. And finally the statement also had numerous minor issues. "It's" means "it is", so there shouldn't be an apostrophe. It's not Wikipedia's style to capitalise common nouns like 'Library, Movie House, Classroom". And there should also be a space after most forms of punctuation (the full stop).

:We DO NOT add assistant roles to the infobox, see {{tl|Infobox football biography}} documentation that says "Please do not list positions other than team manager (such as assistant or coach positions)". Your editing is disruptive, not withstanding that you're not even adding that he was an assistant, therefore suggesting that he was manager! GiantSnowman 08:36, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
:: Hi {{ping|GiantSnowman}}. There is no need to aggressively edit war, and throw in exclamation marks and capitalisation to make your point. Looking at the guidelines you refer to, I see "such as assistant or coach positions, or director of football roles where this role is not considered managerial) '''unless that position is a significant part of the person's career'''; this will apply primarily to those with significant or perhaps primary experience in management". So you appear to have misrepresented the guidelines. I was in the midst of adding assistant when you once again reverted to the incorrect state. He is not the manager of Qatar as the version you've reverted to currently asserts. I will stop editing on the article since it has already been reverted a number of times in the middle of my editing, but please correct the state and add the missing information, or respond here that you will no longer interfere.

Hi, Greenman. It's really nice to meet you and the fantastic work you have been doing on the English Wikipedia over the years. Ibjaja055 (talk) 09:22, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{ping|Ibjaja055}} good to meet you! I realise you're a new page reviewer ↗, thanks for your good work there. I'm actually in a different stream, reviewing the Articles for Creation ↗. But it seems we are experiencing the same AI problems. I hope we see solutions soon.

South African figures



Dear Greenman, thank you for contacting me. I did add a source though, please see the ESPN reference. ESPN, Soccerway, Transfermarkt and World Football all provide the attendance figures. Could you please add more sources if needed, or is ESPN sufficient since it has all the figures required? &#126;2025-40865-37 ↗ (talk) 13:19, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{ping|~2025-40865-37}} - on this source ↗, which is the only source for the attendance figures on 2011–12 South African Premiership ↗, I don't see individual figures for each club. All I see are the following lines and the clubs involved in those games:
:::Thanks {{ping|~2025-40865-37}} However, sources need to verify statements. Having to clicking on every individual game and adding the results to calculate an average is not feasible for verifying (and these links are not even linked from the summmary source provided). Also, Transfermarkt is not a reliable source (see Wikipedia:TRANSFERMARKT ↗. Looking at the page you linked, there are obvious mistakes. Mpumalanga Black Aces FC do not even play at the Cape Town Stadium, they're from the other side of the country. And the link to their page goes to Cape Town City, who weren't even in the division that year. Unless there is better sourcing from some of the others you mentioned, this information will have to be removed. Greenman (talk) 14:48, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

Reconsidering Draft:Mostafa Ahmed Nawareg - New Independent Regional Sources



Hi Greenman,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing regarding the draft for "Mostafa Ahmed Nawareg". I completely understand and respect your decision to reject the previous submission due to repeated attempts without sufficient improvements.
However, I have completely overhauled the article inside my personal sandbox to address all the core notability concerns you and Bonadea previously mentioned. I have strictly removed any conversational or promotional tone and shifted the focus entirely toward his regional and academic impact.
Most importantly, I have integrated highly significant, independent, third-party secondary sources that verify his regional notability across the MENA region, including written coverage from the national Jordanian press (Al-Rai Newspaper), Algerian media outlets, and formal international library indexes confirming his published literature.
Could you please take a quick look at the updated, non-promotional version in my sandbox? I would highly appreciate your professional advice on whether this independent regional coverage satisfies WP:N and WP:BLP before taking any further steps.

The updated version is located here: User:Mustafa shawki dev/sandbox

Thank you so much for your time and guidance.

Best regards,
Mustafa Mustafa shawki dev (talk) 15:22, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
:Hi {{ping|Mustafa shawki dev}} I suggest following the link on the rejection notice if you would like further help from a volunteer. There is a huge backlog of new submissions, and it won't be me personally looking further into your article. I also suggest carefully reading some of the guidelines. You repeatedly resubmitted an article without appearing to read or take into account previous suggestions, and then you specifically removed lines saying 'Do not remove' when you tried to circumvent the rejection, which then had to be undone. This just wastes volunteers time. Greenman (talk) 17:31, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
