Rescue Barnstar

edit
The Article Rescue Barnstar
It's only fair that I give you a reciprocal barnstar for saving Beyond Words (video game) from certain deletion. I like board game and word game-style video games, and might play this one sometime, so it's extra neat. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 19:28, 16 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
I've played the demo of this one and I think the Digitally Downloaded and Siliconera reviews capture my feelings. It's shamelessly unoriginal and conceptually it shouldn't work, but the gameplay actually does work, it's fun but don't go in expecting brilliance. ~ A412 talk! 19:36, 16 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Belz factory outlet mall (Allen, Texas) Article to Draft.

edit

Hello, excuse me i’d like to discuss the issue you raised with the Belz Factory Outlet Mall (Allen, Texas) page. I know it was clean, but I mentioned it in the forum, and you didn't reply. So, I said I created the page, and if there's a problem, you write or edit it yourself. The page was clean and well-sourced; please explain what's wrong.

Thank you for your reply. Louloureagan9 (talk) 16:41, 19 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hey, welcome to Wikipedia. The issue is that the page was not well sourced by our standards. The page is sourced to Wikimedia Commons and Wikimapia, which are both user-generated sources. Our policies require that information is cited to reliable sources, which do not include user-generated ones. ~ A412 talk! 16:51, 19 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Here are a couple better sources to get you started: . Feel free to hit "Submit for Review" on your draft once you've added in some better sources. ~ A412 talk! 16:56, 19 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for reviewing the article! I noticed that in this edit, you linked to Lithium-ion battery in the lede of the Lithium-ion battery components article. I had intentionally not done this, since the lede of the components article is transcluded in the 'parent', and so now there is a circular link in the Components section of the parent. I was wondering, was you edit done with this in mind? I agree the link would be useful to have in the child, but I don't know how to prevent it from showing in the parent. Thanks, CommonsKiwi (talk) 13:54, 9 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Oh, interesting. I don't have a good solution for that situation. Feel free to revert. ~ A412 talk! 14:00, 9 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
I'll try to use one of those 'main article' or 'see also' templates that shows up above the lede. Maybe that won't show up. CommonsKiwi (talk) 14:04, 9 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
Nevermind, I should be able to fix this using inclusion control. Sorry for the bother! Cheers, CommonsKiwi (talk) 14:07, 9 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Review of Loop (statement)

edit

Dear A. I got notified that you reviewed the article Loop (statement) but I have a hard time seeing what changed. To sate my curiosity, I thought I'd ask what it meant. Thank you in advance. — xo Ergur (talk) 13:41, 10 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

New pages are reviewed by New Pages Patrol, this review allows them to be indexed in search engines. Typically, new page patrollers check for major content issues; if there are no major issues articles will be reviewed without further comment. Good job on the article! ~ A412 talk! 15:09, 10 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the answer, thank you for the compliment, and thank you for the service. — xo Ergur (talk) 07:23, 14 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Sourcing on Mount Zas

edit

Greetings A, many thanks for reviewing Mount Zas earlier this week.

Since your initial review, I’ve attempted to improve the reliability of the sourcing. (Namely, more reputable citations for the elevation, and mythology section).

If you have time, would you be able to assess whether the sources now meet Wikipedia's reliability guidelines, or if more work is needed? The article is still a stub; I have asked Wikiproject Greece if they can help expand, as it is not my area of expertise.

Kind regards, Sy234sn (talk) 11:55, 12 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hm, we're still using some user-generated (Peakbagger) and blog (Earth Trekkers) sources. ~ A412 talk! 15:14, 16 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
Acknowledged, will keep working on it. Thank you for taking a look Sy234sn (talk) 19:01, 17 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

A412/The Artisan of Glimmith moved to draftspace

edit

Thanks for your contributions to A412/The Artisan of Glimmith. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it is blank. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. jolielover♥talk 08:47, 28 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Note that I've renamed it Draft:The Artisan of Glimmith. I think you accidentally published this to mainspace rather than a subpage. jolielover♥talk 08:50, 28 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, my bad. ~ A412 talk! 14:13, 28 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Black Swan (musical)

edit

On 30 June 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Black Swan (musical), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the musical adaptation of Black Swan rewrote the character of Thomas LeRoy as a woman to avoid writing a #MeToo story? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Black Swan (musical). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Black Swan (musical)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.

Tag for 2025 Black British Theatre Awards

edit

May I disagree with the new box on this page, asking for more secondary/tertiary sources? I have modelled this page (and the ones of the previous BBTA award years) on other British Awards, like the Olivier Awards and Whatsonstage Awards, where yearly awards are presented very similarly. As they're a list of awards nominees and winners no secondary nor tertiary sources are provided for either of them. Musicalge3k5 (talk) 18:52, 4 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Just to add to my point, other pages like the Academy Award for Best Director, just to pick one of the Oscar categories, also references mainly on their website, listing nominees and winners as their primary source. Musicalge3k5 (talk) 18:55, 4 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough. ~ A412 talk! 19:18, 4 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello @A412, I lost access to my account @Bagwe Neza and have been working hard to recover it. When you have a moment, could you review the latest article I created, John McCalla-Leacy? Thank you ~2026-39452-48 (talk) 20:14, 11 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, but NPPers will generally not review articles on request, as it encourages further sidestepping of the process, and is unfair to other articles in the queue. ~ A412 talk! 14:12, 12 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

About the Cameramen (Skibidi Toilet)

edit

You removed the whole article and made it redirect to the Skibidi Toilet series in general. Why tho? Did it have any wrong syntax, or not enough citations? I cited almost everything that was needed i think. Also there isn't any article for the specific subject, and it's not like it's something irrelevant. I have seen many characters and fictional species from other media get articles too, so why can't this?

Thanks, also I'm new to this whole editing thing so I don't know much, it's just that this one seemed weird to me, as it provided most stuff, and also comes from a pretty popular web-series Zisimox32 (talk) 23:12, 11 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Zisimox32, the article had a couple problems. The main problem is sourcing. The general bar for independent articles on fictional elements is that you should be able to show that they've been specifically discussed at length in independent, reliable sources. This isn't the case. Your two sources that aren't the series itself are , which doesn't say anything about the Cameramen beyond "an ongoing collection of shorts that chronicles a war between Skibidi Toilets and the combined forces of the Cameramen and Speakermen.", and , which only says "people whose heads consist of such hardware items as cameras, speakers and televisions" and "The characters are made up of assets from the classic video games Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source." Three sentences just isn't enough to base an article on. The other thing is that this article didn't really say anything that isn't already said at Skibidi Toilet, and the information is better in context. ~ A412 talk! 14:10, 12 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Oh ok then,thanks for letting me know 👍 Zisimox32 (talk) 14:13, 12 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
