Quick feedback on a draft article?
editHi @Encoded! I know you're on break (totally understandable - good luck with uni!), but if you have a moment sometime, I'd really appreciate a quick glance at a draft I'm working on. I'm trying to make sure it aligns with notability and neutrality guidelines before I consider submitting it.
No rush at all, and I completely understand if you're unable to assist right now. If you know of any other experienced editors or noticeboards where I might get feedback, I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks so much, and all the best with your studies!

- Hi @Azaadi 2801, I agree with the last reviewer that it seems somewhat promotional in tone. I'd recommend re-reading the content and seeing how it could be reworded if possible or remove promotional sections. For example,
Under his stewardship, QCI engages with 50+ central and state government bodies across priority sectors - healthcare, education, energy, sanitation, trade, agriculture, e‑commerce, and infrastructure - with the overarching mission of enhancing quality of life for over 140 crore Indians.
is quite promotional, think what you'd see on the news rather than the company's website. I'd also recommend removing the bold text in the article body, it's typically not used and can make the article appear to give the article undue weight towards certain sections. Hope this helps, Encoded Talk 💬 08:25, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
Following up on BTCC (company)
editHi Encoded, I see that you are busy with courses (good luck!), but wanted to see if you were still interested in reviewing this request. No worries if not! I can reach out to others, but wanted to give you an opportunity because you said you were interested. Thanks, Danilo Two (talk) 15:39, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Danilo Two, I've left a message on the article's talk page. Thanks, Encoded Talk 💬 08:22, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
Question from HistoryDrJP (15:59, 7 August 2025)
editHi! Trying to make some edits to a few pages. Struggling a bit with adding endnotes and correct citations in keeping with the numbering and formatting in the existing article. I welcome help. --HistoryDrJP (talk) 15:59, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hey @HistoryDrJP, apologies for taking so long to get back to you. There's a great tutorial available at WP:REFVISUAL (or WP:INTREF3 if you're using the old source editor) which may be useful. It looks like your citation on List of candidates for the Man in the Iron Mask is correct. If you have any questions about specific cite styles/formats please let me know!

Question from AngelGuerra1971 (16:35, 17 August 2025)
editQuiero crear historias pero no sé cómo empezar me gusta las historias y me sé varias pero cómo editarlas no sé! Quisiera su apoyo --AngelGuerra1971 (talk) 16:35, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hola, ¡bienvenido a Wikipedia! Aquí tienes una excelente introducción: WP:INTRO que te ayudará a empezar. Puedes crear nuevas páginas aquí: WP:AW. Ten en cuenta que todas las páginas de este sitio deben estar en inglés. Puedes visitar Wikipedia en español para crear páginas en español si lo prefieres. ¡Espero que te sirva!

hi! I need help writing a wikipedia article for school. I go to the University of Washington and I am majoring in informatics which is sort of like psychology meets Human computer interaction. The class that I am taking focuses on how to age successfully by prof. William Jones and my final project is to write an article on cognitive offloading. --Anikai22 (talk) 04:35, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hey @Anikai22, welcome to Wikipedia! There's a great introduction (click here) that can teach you how to get started editing. I noticed your draft was declined as there were signs it may have been written by a large language model, if this is the case I'd recommend rewriting the article's tone and checking the references are correct, then you'll have a greater chance of it being accepted. If you have anything in particular you'd like help with please let me know! Thanks, Encoded Talk 💬 08:37, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
Question from Augnablik
editBack on the 5th of the month when you wrote me a message on the Talk page for Ramendra Kumar (author) about having to take a break for studies, you said, "I've reopened the request so that another editor can assist you." But nothing's happened since. Questions that I had asked are still not answered, but I assumed a new editor would be picking up on them. Maybe a new editor is waiting for me to do something else first? Please advise. The COI edit request process is already so long and drawn out by design, so I really regret losing still more time. Augnablik (talk) 17:22, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Augnablik, apologies for the delay. You have perfect timing sending me this message as I've got some time this week so will be popping by more often so will be back to help! I've left a message on the talk page for the article in response to your last message. Unfortunately the backlog appears to have grown quite large in my absence so that'll probably be why you've not yet received a response. However, I'm happy to help now. Encoded Talk 💬 22:29, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- Happy news indeed. Augnablik (talk) 03:34, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:Cuerden Valley Park

Hello, Encoded. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Cuerden Valley Park".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 19:49, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
Question from Walter Winnie (06:43, 27 August 2025)
editHi Encoded, I’ve drafted an article on Noodle Factory in my Sandbox and submitted it for review. I believe it meets notability and neutrality guidelines with independent references. Would you be able to take a look or point me to someone who could review it? --Walter Winnie (talk) 06:43, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, I thought to just help out a bit since I done some stuff already. @Walter Winnie, you have not submitted it for review yet as what I can see, You can follow the instructions at WP:DRAFTMOVE to submit the article at your sandbox. ~ JASWE (talk) 07:52, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Justanothersgwikieditor, thanks so much for pointing that out earlier! I've since gotten help with the review process and it looks like I'm now on the right channel. Appreciate your help — cheers! Walter Winnie (talk) 08:15, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hey @Walter Winnie, glad you got it all sorted out! I unfortunately don't have much time at the moment to do full reviews myself however the draft is in the review queue now and one of the other AfC reviewers should pop along to review it soon! If you have any other questions feel free to reach out! Thanks for answering as well JASWE! Encoded Talk 💬 12:36, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

Question from Shabane Ntandoyenkosi on University of KwaZulu-Natal (12:20, 27 August 2025)
editHello can you help me with Apply --Shabane Ntandoyenkosi (talk) 12:20, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Shabane Ntandoyenkosi, unfortunately Wikipedia is unable to help with university applications, I'd recommend checking the university's website or seeing if there's any groups on social media of people who currently study there that could give you some advice.
