FAC candidates

Most of 'em need a root-and-branch rewrite first, though. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:38, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Troika Review

edit

Hello Jojo, just thought I would reply here to your review. In regards to some of your critiques I fixed some of them and addressed others. Was a little confused by some of the pointers where you say some of the information is not in the source, I have double checked those and they do have it in some of those sources and have revised the portions that did not. In terms of sending you the pages, I don't have a proper way of doing so. I hope that doesn't affect your review. I did add a reference I founded and whatnot to the article and am still slightly confused as to how I can validate the non-free images. Paleface Jack (talk) 21:10, 26 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

One way would be to upload the screenshots/pages to Google Drive and link it on the FAC. When the review's done, the Google Drive can be deleted again. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:23, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sorry if I seem a bit confused. I have never done that before and dont really know how. I dont have a high quality scanner or anything substantial. If i cannot do that is there any way you want me to verify the information? Also how can i ensure that non-free and even free images fit the rational of their inclusion in an FA? Paleface Jack (talk) 17:34, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Unfortunately, if you can't post the content of the sources I asked for anywhere, then I can't pass the spotcheck. If rewriting the rationale can fit the image issue then you can do that, but if not the images have to be removed. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 05:28, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. I will see what I can do about the pages being sent to you. Paleface Jack (talk) 15:04, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
it will probably be tomorrow cause I am busy today. Paleface Jack (talk) 15:04, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Apparently, there is no need. It is available on Internet Archive.

If you did not receive the requested pages, I will send them to you. Paleface Jack (talk) 16:57, 3 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Butting in, PJ the usual approach is to email or dropbox phone camera pics of tree sources or screenshots of subscription/ebooks. Ceoil (talk) 01:17, 30 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hm. This seems complicated. Paleface Jack (talk) 18:19, 30 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, but when it comes to spot-checks I require it. Sources that aren't online can be tricky to check, thus need more careful review at FAC stage. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:58, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I understand. I am currently screenshotting those pages for you though they might not have the page number on them because I want to preserve the legibility but I will name the files after the page number. Paleface Jack (talk) 17:59, 5 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Article for Callum Reynolds

edit

Hi Jojo, I would like to build an article for English footballer Callum Reynolds, who's playing in the EFL (professional football) for the first time following Bromley's promotion. I believe it's time to create an article page for him, but it says it requires admin access to be created, can you please unprotect it so we can create the article? Thank you ChampsRT (ProfileTalk) 03:38, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Greetings. My impression is that the notability guidelines for football articles have been tightened over the years so "playing in the EFL (professional football) for the first time following Bromley's promotion" might no longer be sufficient. In particular, Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Notability is now an essay. Are there reliable sources that discuss him in detail? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:03, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I believe there are enough reliable sources for him as he played for several clubs that had articles about him. Here are some examples: Bromley, Dagenham, Barnet, Aldershot, Boreham Wood ChampsRT (ProfileTalk) 01:20, 3 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Mm, I don't think that these would be considered independent sources for notability purposes. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:29, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
What would make sources independent for notability purposes? Does this BBC article and this count? ChampsRT (ProfileTalk) 14:49, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
These are better, yes. Not sure if they are enough. Probably best to ask at WP:DRV - sometimes the closing administrator isn't best placed to re-assess sourcing. Besides, with only 3 participants in the last AfD there probably isn't a high bar to re-evaluation. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 06:14, 5 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
