Adoption

<nowiki>{{User:GoldRomean/MenteeAdopt}}</nowiki> GoldRomean (talk) 15:50, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
:Hello! I've seen the adoption program before but didn't read all of it. It seems like something that would help me a lot in learning here and I would definitely be interested. I read through the page and it seems like something really useful! Though, I have a question - how active do I have to be on Wikipedia to partcipate? I have a lot of free time so it should be possible anyways, but I'd still rather know in advance :) --cheesewhisk3rs (pester ↗) 16:07, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
::You are free to be as active or inactive as you'd like, there is no requirement :). GoldRomean (talk) 16:18, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

Regarding your edit on ''Battle for Dream Island ↗''

@Not-cheesewhisk3rs Regarding this edit (link ↗) on ''Battle for Dream Island ↗'', WP:SEEALSO ↗ states one of the purposes of a "See also" section is to help readers discover "tangentially related" articles that are relevant to the same "defining topic". Likewise, it will take forever to list all the differences between ''BFDI'' and ''Drawn Together'', but they ultimately are both cartoon reality-TV ↗ parodies. ''Total Drama ↗'', arguably ''BFDI's'' closest contemporary, cannot be mentioned as its first season is already linked in the body. Giovanni Potage (talk) 20:08, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

:Talk:Battle for Dream Island/Archive 2#"Drawn Together" ↗ - this was not resolved. A new discussion could be started to establish consensus on what belongs in the see also. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester ↗) 08:18, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
::I agree, I've been considering restarting that discussion for quite a while now. No participant gave a clear MOS ↗-allied rationale for removing the mention of ''Drawn Together ↗''. Giovanni Potage (talk) 08:20, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
:::It would've been more helpful to restart the discussion before trying to re-add Drawn Together. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester ↗) 08:22, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
:Also - this repeats my point in the disccusion I linked above - a see also section is not required. If Drawn Together is the closest to BFDI, but then Drawn Together is removed, re-adding it for the sake of having a see also section isn't necessary. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester ↗) 08:20, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

It turns out what happened is that a user was ''transcluding'' the article into a sandbox page in their personal userspace — which obviously also transcluded the article's ''categories'' onto that sandbox page. So when I tried to remove the categories from that sandbox page, they came off the article instead because that's where they actually were. Thanks for the catch, I've already fixed it a different way. Bearcat (talk) 15:36, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Help/Advice with GlossGenius AfC

Hi not-cheesewhisk3rs-

I noticed you made some helpful/constructive contributions to an article I was working on, GlossGenius, and wanted to say thanks! The article is currently stuck in draftspace unfortunately. I was wondering if you could provide any advice/help on what changes to make to move it into Main Space. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia so any advice is appreciated ! JamesH97 (talk) 22:56, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hi JamesH97 - to get the draft accepted, you need to understand notability ↗. I don't know if you do know what notability is, but if you don't: Notability is the requirement that an article has been covered by multiple (2 or more) sources which are reliable (what the sources say are true), secondary (e.g. a news article or a book, but not a social media post or the subject's website), independent (the article subject was not involved in making the source), and non-trivial (more than just a passing mention of the subject in the source).
:I highly recommend you read WP:42 ↗ as it summarises the actual notability guidelines, which are confusing as they rely on the reader having prior knowledge on lots of stuff.
:That said, the GlossGenius draft was declined for the following two notability-related issues:
:1) Not having independent sources. This is tricky to fix because you have to assess every sourcw individually and try to judge whether the source is independent. I don't review drafts so I don't knkw if there might be a better way to tell whether a source is independent or not.
:2) The sources only have passing mentions of GlossGenius. The Forbes source https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffkauflin/2023/06/06/newcomers-to-the-fintech-50-2023/ ↗ is a good example. It only has a little section about GlossGenius. GlossGenius is clearly not the topic of the article, so the source counts as a trivial mention.
:Final note: I mostly wrote about non-trivial and indepenent sources here, but sources that can be used to establish notability must also be reliable and secondary. So, to establish notability and get your draft published, you need at least two reliable, secondary, independent, non-trivial sources.
:Apart from having to show notability, the draft looks good to me. Hope this helps (and sorry if it's too long) :) --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester ↗) 17:46, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

You signed this petition twice, in the same edit. That's not acceptable. I've removed your "first vote".-Gadfium (talk) 09:21, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Please archive

Hello! I just wanted to request that you archive your user talk page. While it may not be bothersome to you, many editors have slow connections, and having a very large talk page can hamper communication. If you need help, just check out the guide over at Help:Archiving a talk page ↗. Thanks! Viyowoyero-vya-Malaŵi (talk) 00:49, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

:I'd rather not ''archive'' it but I might delete some messages eventually. I have loaded this talk page on a not very modern smartphone with a slow connection and it did not take very long to load. So, I'd say it's fine. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester ↗) 12:58, 6 June 2026 (UTC)
