Hello,

Recently I edited this article and added some references, wikilinks, and Image(with copyright permission). Suddenly, noticed that the promotional template. Which part of the article needs to improve. Since I told you I'm new to Wikipedia and still learning to improve myself.

Hi Goldabrun, thanks for your message. I've not had a proper look at Nicholas J. Ayala, so you might want to ask MrsSnoozyTurtle as it was them who put the promotional template on it. -Kj cheetham (talk) 17:45, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I asked him/her. But could you please look at the article for a while. What need to be improve. Because, in future it will help me to make any article clean.🙏 Goldabrun (talk) 17:57, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The first thing is given your comment at User_talk:MrsSnoozyTurtle#Have_a_question_about_this_article_Nicholas_J._Ayala and the image you uploaded, it seems like you know the subject? In which case this is a potential conflict of interest and so I've left a separate message about that on your talk page with some hopefully helpful links, plus a note on the talk page of the article. In any case, I've not reviewed the article carefully, but a big thing to be aware of is the difference between WP:PRIMARY sources (i.e. written by the subject or their company) and WP:SECONDARY sources (i.e. written about the subject, often independantly), as per WP:PSTS. Wikipedia articles should be mostly based on secondary sources.

As an example, the sentance "Ayala is a coach and shares his entrepreneurial experience to educate people about the importance of teamwork in an organizational structure." looks promotional to me, and looking at the source attached to it (https://www.ibtimes.com/nick-ayala-being-ideal-leader-competitive-business-world-3602155), that is a contributed source, not subject to editorial oversight, and serves to promote the subject. It doesn't seem to even mention the word "coach". It's unclear who wrote it, which makes me think it might have been commissioned by the subject. Generally when thinking about sources, it's also worth thinking what sources are WP:RELIABLE. Hope that helps. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:00, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Maybole Castle you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of PizzaKing13 -- PizzaKing13 (talk) 18:41, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On 3 November 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Elcho Castle, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Elcho Castle never saw combat, but was nearly burned down by a mob in 1773? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Elcho Castle. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Elcho Castle), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Maile66, thank you for the update! -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:27, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again,

A proposal was opened on 21 Oct. at: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Trussonomics#Proposed_merge_with_Liz_Truss%23Economics and I was wondering if it's not time to come to a decision about it? Would you be willing to do so? Thank you, Billsmith60 (talk) 13:16, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Billsmith60, thanks for your message. I'd agree it probably is time for someone to close it ideally, as it's been over a week. However I don't tend to get involved with merge requests, and try to avoid political articles where possible, so I'm recommend finding someone else to close it. You may even want to ask at WP:RFCLOSE, though that's typically not fast. -Kj cheetham (talk) 17:21, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article Maybole Castle you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Maybole Castle for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

PizzaKing13, thank you for this! -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:32, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On 11 November 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sundrum Castle, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the fall of Sundrum Castle was alluded to in a poem by Robert Chambers in the 19th century and was later referred to as a curse? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sundrum Castle. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Sundrum Castle), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Cwmhiraeth, thank you for progressing this! -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:36, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning! I few weeks back, you (kindly) pointed out that I would benefit from reading the definition of "Minor edit" more closely (done). You also mentioned in passing that I could bounce "any issues" off of you (hope I'm not misreading this). May I ask you to have a quick look at an article I've been working on? This is my first attempt at a ground-up contribution, so I'd really like to get it right. The draft is here:

Draft:Livio Castiglioni - Wikipedia

Apart from any general advice/guidance on the overall piece (tone, syntax, referencing, layout, etc.) you'd be willing to share, I'm wondering what the next step is— should I publish "as is", submit for review, or is there some other path one should follow? (Also, unsure how to add relevant Categories and WikiProjects while working in the Draft space.) Many thanks, ~~~~ Cl3phact0 (talk) 11:07, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
