Hello! My draft about Cherie Westell is ready for review. Could you please check if it can be moved to the mainspace? After publication I will add the image back to the infobox. Thank you! --Shmiliev Pavlo (talk) 09:36, 18 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Most if not all of the draft is unsourced. Once that has been fixed, you can submit it using the template I have added to the draft for review. Tenshi! (Talk page) 12:59, 18 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Hi! I’ve made all the necessary updates to the draft, including adding reliable sources, rewriting unsourced sections, and ensuring everything complies with Wikipedia’s guidelines. Before I submit it for review, could you please take one more look to confirm that the draft is ready for AfC?

Are you using AI to write your draft? Tenshi! (Talk page) 17:48, 18 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Hi! No, the draft was not written by AI. I rewrote the article myself based on the two reliable sources (Victoria Police and ABC News), and tried to follow Wikipedia’s Manual of Style to make the language more neutral and encyclopedic.
If any part of the draft still looks unclear or needs further improvement, please let me know — I’m happy to revise it. Shmiliev Pavlo (talk) 18:24, 18 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Could you explain why then you removed all the categories from it and replaced <references /> with {{reflist}}? Please bear in mind that all AI-generated text used in discussion is liable to be collapsed or struck, so I advise you to write your response in your own words. Tenshi! (Talk page) 18:29, 18 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
I removed the categories because I thought draft pages weren’t supposed to include categories until they are accepted into the mainspace. Since I’m still learning the formatting rules, I didn’t want to do anything incorrectly.
If they should stay, I can easily add them back. Shmiliev Pavlo (talk) 18:43, 18 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Yes and no. Typically, drafts shouldn't have categories, though if you put a colon before a category (e.g. [[:Category:Living people]]), they become a link instead of being part of the category (Category:Living people). The categories in your draft were links. Tenshi! (Talk page) 21:14, 18 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
I understand now, thank you. Is the draft ready to be submitted for review, or should I make any other changes first? Shmiliev Pavlo (talk) 22:52, 18 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
It probably needs more sources, I don't see it being accepted otherwise. Other than that, not really anything else. Tenshi! (Talk page) 01:20, 19 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

I hope you are doing well. I am kindly writing to request your support in editing and improving my Wikipedia biography. I would be grateful if you could help ensure that my personal history, professional background, and contributions are accurately and clearly presented.

Please let me know if you need any additional information or sources from my side. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

I have draftified your user page, as it was not a user page and more of a draft. It is now at Draft:Bikila Tesfaye. Citing Wikipedia should not be done per WP:CITOGENESIS and WP:WINARS. That and it appears that half of your citations use <ref> tags and half don't. Not to mention as well that as I told you a couple of months ago that you should read through WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY. Overall it reads very promotionally and like what you'd find on a CV, not an encyclopaedia article. Tenshi! (Talk page) 15:54, 9 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

P.S. Is your bot planning to take on some of the remaining misnested tags at some point?

I'm completely unfamiliar with AutoEd beyond using your module for lint errors, but it would be useful if that was possible I imagine.

Missing end tag = unclosed tag, i.e. {| on it's own without |}
Table tag that should be deleted = Redundant table tags that are covered by existing tags.

Any edits you make using a temporary account is only attributed to that account. There is no functionality to automatically attribute them, and the only editors capable of attributing them manually via changing the edit history are Importers and Stewards (global users who have all rights on every Wikimedia project, but defer to local users where available).

If there isn't a subpage for today, usually you create a new one for today.

Hi how does it work to get myself or business on Wikipedia --Antonette1020 (talk) 14:55, 30 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

You should read Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing first. Secondly, all articles must follow the notability guideline, those that do not will be deleted. Third, Wikipedia is not an avenue for promoting yourself or your business, all articles have to be written neutrally. Finally, you must declare your conflict of interest and whether you are being paid for your edits on Wikipedia. You may want to consider an alternative outlet if you are not willing to comply with all of these requirements. Tenshi! (Talk page) 19:59, 30 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Question from Canes Venaticids (06:21, 5 January 2026)

edit

Hello! I have a question regarding editing a biographical page. One of the articles that I was editing had a maintenance template notifying that the article was written like a resume. What would be the best way to go about editing a page with that issue? Thanks! --Canes Venaticids (talk) 06:21, 5 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Compare the page with your CV and a random article of the same type. It should not look like your CV and should look like the article. Articles need to be encyclopedic, not a list of businesses and people the article subject has worked for and how competent the subject is. Tenshi! (Talk page) 23:05, 5 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Question from Bbarbogast2026 (08:29, 6 January 2026)

edit

Hello, I'd like to add a wikipedia page on behalf of someone else. I read that the page would need to be approved and that the subject needs to be someone of notoriety. A few articles have been written about the person, but some things have been said via other media outlets (not written) and in other languages, besides English. Must I provide translations of the sources? What is considered acceptable as proof that someone is notable? Thank you. --Bbarbogast2026 (talk) 08:29, 6 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Do you know this person personally? If so you have a conflict of interest and must declare it. Are you being paid by this person to edit? If so you must make a paid-contribution disclosure. You don't need to provide translations of sources, they are acceptable as is. For notability, sources generally need to be independent, reliable, and possess significant coverage of the subject, however there are exceptions to what is required dependent on topic area. Tenshi!

Hello! I noticed that the Church of the Epiphany, Meredith had a copyright flag attached to the page. Subsequently, I have re-written the page. Upon rewriting, a copyvio detector did a review and it said that it was resolved. You have then edited the page, writing that "structural CLOP remains". What is structural CLOP? Also I am of the belief that the copyright tag should be removed seeing as the copyright text has been significantly reworded. Thanks! 1geel0ng1 (talk) 23:11, 16 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

First of all, it says on the template itself "Note to others: Please do not remove this template until an administrator has reviewed it.", you should not be removing the template as you are not an administrator. Earwig's copyvio detector is only half-reliable most of the time, see WP:NOTEARWIG. Structural CLOP is having the same structure of the text or close enough to be a copyright violation. See WP:FIXCLOSEPARA on how to fix close paraphrasing, but you should be summarising the source in your own words, not changing words around and reordering sentences. Tenshi!

Add This template should be substituted on the article's talk page. to the top of the article's talk page and save it.
Click within the notice to create a new peer review discussion page.
Complete the new page as instructed. Remember to say what kind of comments or contributions you want, and/or the sections of the article you think need reviewing.
Save the page with the four tildes (Emf204 (talk) 20:27, 11 February 2026 (UTC)) at the end of your request to sign it. Your peer review will be automatically listed within an hour.Reply

Hey there, I'm interested in getting involved in copyright discussions on Wikipedia, but I don't have a whole lot of expertise in the area and have no idea how I could get started. Can you point me in the right direction? Gommeh (talk! sign!) 15:56, 24 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

I assume you mean copyright cleanup, not copyright discussions. WP:CV, WP:CLOP, and the CP instructions give a general idea of how to determine and cleanup copyright violations. As for getting started, there's CopyPatrol which gives you suspected violations, and there's CCIs of various users, albeit the difficulty of each one varies. If you did mean copyright discussions, the only recent one that comes to mind is whether to temporarily archive CCI requests of inactive users. Tenshi! (Talk page) 21:31, 24 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Linter pattern to add to your misnested tag bot code

edit

Can you please add this pattern to your bot's misnested tag code? It looks like there are 29 pages, but I know that I have seen similar constructions that require the same fix. here are 1,000 pages, some of which have similar errors; many of these have no Linter errors at all, but the bot should be able to scan the pages quickly. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:26, 25 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure that pattern is causing lint errors. I looked through a few pages and purged them to be sure, but it isn't coming back with lint errors. Not sure why your edit resolved it and the others don't have lint errors but their images are being struck. Tenshi! (Talk page) 20:34, 25 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
I don't know what the difference is either, but every time I find one of these misnested tags and move the <s> tag to the right of the image, the problem is resolved. I haven't tried to construct a bunch of test cases; I just fix the problem and keep moving. I've fixed dozens or hundreds of these. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:19, 25 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
Here are some examples, if you can find a common pattern. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:52, 25 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

(edit conflict) Seems that the common pattern is the position parameter. To me this is seeming more and more like a false positive than any form of misnest. Tenshi! (Talk page) 22:59, 25 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Sounds good. In the event that you change your mind, feel free to let me know. Epicgenius (talk) 16:10, 13 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
(talk page stalker) Personally I think all user talk pages should be move-protected by default. There's no reason to move a user talk page except in the event of renaming an account, and in that case the bureaucrat can override any move protection anyway. Similarly for user pages; after a user is autoconfirmed it should be semi-protected by default. These defaults would prevent time-wasting cleanup that happens more often than it should. ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 16:42, 13 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

WP:RM states that:

Alternatively, the opener of a discussion can close it only if unanimous opposition is obvious, the requested move has not had any comments yet, or the request was initiated via block evasion.

Also, I'm guessing you're familiar with proposed merger closes as usually you can close them as the proposer if there's clear consensus to merge. It's the only process to do that. Tenshi! (Talk page) 00:49, 7 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

edit

Hi! How do you upload a picture to Wikipedia? I'm hoping to upload a picture of both Sulfur Dibromide and a picture (hopefully, if the synthesis goes well) of Nitrogen Tribromide. I was wondering if you need a certain amount of time on Wikipedia or amount of edits to do this. Sincerely, SC --SimplifiedChematics (talk) 00:25, 24 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

I believe you can upload on Commons without any edit requirements, though they only accept freely licenced/public domain images. Then you can use the image here. Tenshi! (Talk page) 12:31, 24 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Feedback request for Draft:Invisible Technologies

edit

Hi Tenshi! You previously reviewed and accepted Adaptive ML, so I hoped you might be willing to take a quick look at another draft in the same space: Draft:Invisible Technologies.

The draft was previously declined several times, and after detailed feedback from Dan Leonard I substantially rewrote it to focus on what makes the company notable rather than on routine business details. I relied mainly on in-depth and investigative coverage to describe the operational and “behind-the-scenes” aspects of AI training work, since this side of the industry is rarely covered on Wikipedia beyond standard business coverage.

I’d really appreciate any feedback, even a quick review or suggestions on whether the draft is moving in the right direction. Alexandra Goncharik -sms- 08:56, 3 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I've been inactive in this space for a couple weeks and I'm not really sure if its notable. I'll try and look at this again later on this week and see if I can give any feedback. Tenshi! (Talk page) 14:19, 4 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi Tenshi, thanks a lot! I really appreciate you taking a look whenever you have the time.
Dan Leonard actually did a very detailed source analysis regarding notability. To save you from having to go through the same process again, I’ll share a short excerpt of the guidance I followed when rewriting the draft.
Just to give a bit of context: I understand that service companies rarely meet notability criteria on their own, and that routine business details (funding, clients, rankings, etc.) don’t establish notability. What matters is significant coverage: analysis, criticism, or investigative reporting.
Below are Dan's comments (quoted directly), which I used as the basis for the rewrite:
<Dan's Quote>
  • The Business Insider article may be substantial coverage. While at first glance it seems to be trivial (its headline and first dozen paragraphs are routine coverage "of the hiring, promotion, or departure of personnel"), the second half of the article, in subheading "A day in the life of an AI trainer", includes some information about the company's activities. Importantly, the article's inclusion of this information makes it appear to be noteworthy. However, this information is completely absent from the draft article you submitted. The draft does not include any of Business Insider's coverage of the admittedly interesting industry Invisible Technologies is in. In 2023, Invisible Technologies was involved in large language model training projects, including contract work for OpenAI related to ChatGPT, and relied in part on contract data trainers does not include any of this reporting and only focuses on the connection to OpenAI, which is trivial: notability is not inherited just by being a contractor for OpenAI unless it is contextualized. Many notable companies hire contractors; this does not make them notable.
  • The Reuters article is, in my opinion, the best coverage here. It's in-depth, provides a corporate history, and contextualizes the company in its industry. However, none of this information is used in the draft. There's no inclusion of how Invisible Technologies employs people (Reuters says 5,000 but your infobox says 350?), what they work on, or what this does in the industry. Two sentences are sourced to the Reuters article: It provides an AI platform used by enterprises to organize data and build agentic workflows and In 2024, Invisible Technologies focused more on enterprise customers, providing enterprise software platform that prepares data, models business processes, and enables AI agents to execute those processes. Both of these sentences are completely unsupported by the source. There is no mention of Invisible Technologies having a "platform" or of working with "agents".
  • The Forbes article is mostly about the founder and corporate structure with little about the company's work. However, this can be useful supporting information for an article.
I advise you to [...] Rewrite the current draft to focus on the company's actual work, with reliable sources. Fix the unsupported mentions of "platforms", talk about AI training workers more (with citations), and remove the promotional junk like agentic workflows, AI partner, etc. Much of § History has to go. A list of clients over time isn't a corporate history, and the formation of a UK entity is original research.
</Dan's Quote>
I followed this guidance and removed non-relevant material, focusing only on what is supported by significant coverage and may be useful to Wikipedia readers. Alexandra Goncharik -sms- 16:24, 4 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I had a bit of a look. Both Business Insider articles are paywalled, so I can't check them fully, though I'll note the RSP listing of no consensus. I don't have anything different to say about the Forbes article than what Dan Leonard said. Bloomberg is also paywalled, so I can't access it. As for the draft text, the one thing I'll note is that the headquarters being in New York is unsourced, but it otherwise looks okay text-wise. Tenshi! (Talk page) 18:27, 9 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Tenshi Hinanawi, thanks a lot for taking the time to look through it!
All paywalled sources in the draft are accompanied by full archive copies, so they should be fully accessible through the archive links.
Regarding the sources themselves:
  • Business Insider (archive): I know the RSP entry says “no consensus”, partly because Insider also publishes company-driven content under staff bylines. But in this case the article is a fully independent investigative/reporting piece focused on the realities of AI training work and contractor conditions, which is why I treated it as potentially significant coverage rather than routine business reporting.
  • Bloomberg (archive) relies substantially on company-provided information, so I mainly treated it as supportive/contextual material rather than the core basis for notability.
  • Forbes (archive) includes substantial criticism and independent commentary from former investors rather than just founder story. It also appears to support the company being based in New York.
Do you think the draft in its current form is enough to establish notability and resolve previous concerns about promotional tone? Alexandra Goncharik -sms- 19:06, 9 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
I lean towards it not being notable in it's current state. I don't think the Forbes source can be counted as significant coverage towards Invisible Technologies. Regarding promotional tone, it looks fine. Tenshi! (Talk page) 21:00, 11 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Question from Thefakeslimshady777 on Siege of Soissons (16:28, 6 May 2026)

edit

I have edited this section, is this proper grammar? "The Signal Corps branch insignia is represented by two signal flags-on gold staffs- crossed, dexter flag white with a red center, the sinister flag red with a white center, with a flaming torch of gold color metal upright at center of crossed flags." --Thefakeslimshady777 (talk) 16:28, 6 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

It looks to be grammatically correct? Why use - instead of words though? Tenshi! (Talk page) 19:16, 6 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Your CSDs

Hi Tenshi,
Your CSD log shows that you applied CSDs to 497 articles on the 24th of May, and that it wasn't all that uncommon for you to do two in a minute. Were you checking to ensure that there has been no substantial editing by other editors, besides the ban evading edtior, for all of those? TarnishedPathtalk 03:28, 25 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Ps, please see discussion at Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board#Speedy deletion. TarnishedPathtalk 03:29, 25 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
