Need Help

Hi, Can you give me feedback on Shao Yihui ↗ and Draft: Ma Shih-Yuan ↗? Thank you. PurpleDahlia (talk) 08:17, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
:Hello PurpleDahlia! I see you are continuing to work diligently on the articles at the start of 2026 and I really appreciate your effort! But as I mentioned in User talk:Prince of Erebor#Draft:Suri Lin (actress), you should aim to include more content beyond a brief filmography and an accolades table. This will help demonstrate the notability ↗ of these actors and filmmakers. While Shao's Golden Rooster award and Ma's Golden Horse award certainly pass WP:ANYBIO ↗, the guideline explicitly states that these ''presumable'' notability does not automatically guarantee a standalone article (meaning, for example, the subject could be redirected to another article).
:To establish individual notability more convincingly, I recommend you to take a look at WP:GNG ↗. Try to add a biography section for each subject, supported by at least two independent secondary sources ↗ (like news articles) that provide significant coverage ↗ specifically about the individual. For reference, you might look at Yoyo Tse ↗, another Golden Horse Best New Performer winner, to see how a short biography can be structured and what types of sources can be used (like the ''Hong Kong Economic Times'' article (source 1) and the ''PTS Plus'' interview (source 2)). Please let me know once you have expanded the articles and I would be happy to review them. Cheers and happy editing! —👑 ↗'''PRINCE''' of '''EREBOR'''📜 19:05, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
::Hi, I made edits to Shao Yihui ↗, Jiang Qiming ↗ and Draft:Ma Shih-Yuan ↗. I hope you will give feedback. Thank you! PurpleDahlia (talk) 15:55, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
:::Hi PurpleDahlia, sorry for the late reply. I have reviewed all three articles and their quality has greatly improved! I have moved Draft:Ma Shih-Yuan ↗ into the main space. Just a few reminders regarding citations and formatting: 1. Remember that every sentence in the main body of an article must be sourced, see WP:INLINE ↗. Even if a source supports multiple sentences in different paragraphs, you should still use the reference name tag function (which I noticed you used in the awards tables) to cite the same source again. 2. Film titles should always be italicized ↗. 3. There is no need to add a space after a full stop ↗ before references or between references. Aside from these minor details, you have done excellent work! Cheers and thank you very much for your contributions to Wikipedia! —👑 ↗'''PRINCE''' of '''EREBOR'''📜 19:09, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Liu Jun (actor)

Good day! Can you give me feedback on Draft:Liu Jun (actor) ↗? Thank you in advance. PurpleDahlia (talk) 17:37, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
:Hi PurpleDahlia! My sincere apologies for the late reply. I missed your message because there was a bot notice on my talk page immediately after you left your message and I have ignored the notification. I am really really sorry for the delay! Regarding the article, as I mentioned previously, you need to include sources ↗ that provide significant coverage ↗ of the actors' lives and write a full biography. Having only one source and a brief sentence will not suffice for the AfC review. Also, unlike previous actor articles that met WP:NACTOR ↗ and WP:ANYBIO ↗ criteria through "{{tq|significant roles in multiple notable films, notable television shows, stage performances, or other notable productions}}" and "{{tq|received a well-known and significant award or honor}}", I checked the three magnum opuses by Liu Jun mentioned in the lead (''Kangxi Dynasty ↗'', ''The Story of Minglan ↗'', and ''The Bond'' (TV series) ↗). None appear to credit him in a main role, nor has he received any notable awards. Therefore, unless there are multiple strong sources that cover this person in-depth (see WP:SIGCOV ↗), he may not meet the notability requirements ↗ for an article at this moment. —👑 ↗'''PRINCE''' of '''EREBOR'''📜 15:53, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

thumb|right|270px|NPP unreviewed article statistics as of February 02, 2026 ↗
Welcome to Phase 2 of the January–February 2026 NPP drive ↗. During Phase 1, we reviewed 16,658 articles and 4,416 redirects, and there is currently a backlog of 16,475 articles and 23,782 redirects in the queue. Fantastic job! Completing 22,502 patrols in the first phase made a significant dent in the backlog. Let's keep our foot on the gas for Phase 2, and I hope we can achieve even more reviews than Phase 1. Best of luck!

Fiction guideline

If you look in the WP:WAF ↗ editing history, you'll see that some edits were revdelled, most recently one by the account "Decent Direction". I think it would be beneficial to the community if that were unrevdelled so that its content could be considered. Six months later, little has gotten done, so I don't think an adequate cleanup will happen any other way. I realize that you probably don't have the power to unrevdel something yourself, but maybe you could request it.

As far as what ultimately led to this, I am quite certain that the Bates method ↗ is not 100% ineffective at improving eyesight, broadly speaking. It may be 95% ineffective; I'm not quite sure. What is known for sure is that pseudomyopia ↗ actually exists, and is related to stress. But with no valid source explicitly connecting this to the Bates method, this apparently can't overrule sources which seemingly state that the Bates method is 100% ineffective. Hence my frustration. My attention to detail ended up being a bad thing in this case. Also, I never emailed the user who claimed I harassed him via email. ~2026-12258-69 ↗ (talk) 21:15, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
:Sorry but I am a bit lost regarding your second paragraph. I have only raised an amendment proposal at WP:WAF about adding character descriptions to be subject to MOS:FICTIONPLOT. I am not sure how it relates to Bates Method and pseudomyopia. —👑 ↗'''PRINCE''' of '''EREBOR'''📜 18:58, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Help?

Hello, Prince of Erebor,
I've noticed you're an important contributor in Chinese/HK film articles.

If you have the time, could you please have a look at this film ↗ article? I've redirected it (it was marked as possibly non-notable) but looks very probably notable (if I leave the tag, someone might take it to AfD without any serious check, so I've redirected in the meantime).Thanks! ~2026-16195-13 ↗ (talk) 22:53, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

:Hi! Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I just did a search on Google Books and in the newspapers archive of the Hong Kong Public Library ↗, but unfortunately, all I could find is an article from ''Wah Kiu Yat Po ↗'' that mentions the film's release,https://sls.hkpl.gov.hk/digital-collection/tc/contentcoverpage.html?currentPosition=1&searchId=736ec91e23ff4406a709023584994a71&catalogueId=2bc0b0e49cb711ef9c2&mainKeyword=+%E6%98%A5%E6%83%85%E7%83%88%E7%81%AB&isHKMP= ↗ and an entry in ''Hong Kong Filmography'' (香港影片大全), co-published by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department ↗ and the Hong Kong Film Archive ↗.https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF%E5%BD%B1%E7%89%87%E5%A4%A7%E5%85%A8/B-VkAAAAMAAJ?hl=zh-TW&gbpv=1&bsq=%22%E6%98%A5%E6%83%85%E7%83%88%E7%81%AB%22&dq=%22%E6%98%A5%E6%83%85%E7%83%88%E7%81%AB%22&printsec=frontcover ↗ I do not think the film is notable at this point based on my current findings, and I am somewhat pessimistic that it will pass WP:NFILM ↗.

'''May backlog drive'''

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026 ↗.

'''PageTriage'''

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed ↗ to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket ↗ if you're interested in following along.

RfC

You mentioned that according to a 2026 RfC, we only list Hong Kong in infoboxes, regardless of whether it is British HK or HKSAR. However the link you provided did not work. Can you provide it? RickyCourtney (talk) 15:13, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
:{{ping|RickyCourtney}} Oops, sorry, there you go: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Hong Kong#RfC: Should we add sovereign states to Hong Kong in templates? ↗ —👑 ↗'''PRINCE''' of '''EREBOR'''📜 15:15, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
::Good to know. This was a good faith mistake on my part. This is significantly different than how we handle Roscosmos cosmonauts, who are often born in former Soviet states despite now flying for Russia. I applied that logic without knowing of this policy. I know that Hong Kong is particularly contentious,
::so I understand the reasoning behind the policy. RickyCourtney (talk) 15:58, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
:::{{ping|RickyCourtney}} Oh, no worries, I am by no means blaming you for anything. I am just trying to provide a detailed edit summary for my edit, and this RfC is recent enough that I think most editors are probably not yet aware of it. And thanks a lot for spotting the error that the subject had obtained an MPhil rather than an MSc btw, I had completely missed that!! —👑 ↗'''PRINCE''' of '''EREBOR'''📜 14:35, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Request for re-review after adding citations

Hello, thank you for your review of the article Jockey Club Kitchee Centre ↗.
I have now added multiple reliable sources (including official Kitchee SC and Hong Kong Jockey Club references) to improve verifiability, especially for construction dates, area, and usage sections.

Could you please review the article again and consider removing the “additional citations needed” tag if it now meets sourcing requirements?

Thank you for your time. Guoying1 (talk) 07:24, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

:Hi, Guoying1! I have just checked and the article has indeed improved a lot in its sourcing. There is only one remaining unsourced claim I noticed in the Typhoon Mangkhut section ({{tq|Following nearly six months of repair works, including the replacement of the artificial turf, the centre reopened in mid-March 2019}}). I have removed the maintenance template for now, but it would be great if you could source that sentence as well. —👑 ↗'''PRINCE''' of '''EREBOR'''📜 14:39, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for your message

Hello Prince of Erebor. I believe this response is better given on your page, being that I delete a lot of things on mine. I must say, that was one of the best messages I've ever received. You are 100% correct, maybe there is a MOS: out there with some sort of reasoning, but I only did what I've seen done on the majority pages I've viewed. I'm not saying I'm correct in doing that, and I had a funny feeling someone would eventually call me out on it. I did notice that certain categories do add the month, I took a shot. You do care, that means a lot. I reverted what I did, and I do appreciate all that you do. I really appreciate the respectful message you left me. If you come across anything else I did in the past, feel free to correct it. Thank you for reaching out, I'll stick with more of the sports related subjects from now on. It was a pleasure meeting you. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:42, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

:Bringingthewood, thanks for your very polite and detailed response! I was not entirely sure either whether including the month in captions was necessary, since, you know, there are so many guidelines out there and sometimes there are things I am not aware of. I thought it would be best to reach out to you and clarify the matter. It was also a pleasure meeting you. I really appreciate your copyedits on articles, these are actually very valuable and much-needed contributions to WP. Thanks for all your efforts and happy editing! —👑 ↗'''PRINCE''' of '''EREBOR'''📜 21:14, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

::You're very welcome, you made it easy for me. There are so many ins and outs, rules etc. I never try to upset people on purpose, (vandals excluded), but I had a feeling about these edits. It was a pleasure meeting you as well (repeating myself was needed) trust me. You're doing a great job, and I'm glad we met the way we did. Btw, if you ever see something regarding my edits, and it needs questioning, please act on it. I won't forget this conversation. Best regards. Bringingthewood (talk) 21:33, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
