Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

It is easiest to use the "Add topic" link at the top of a talk page and "[ reply ]" link following each post but you may edit this page directly if you follow the above-mentioned guidelines.

If you choose to edit the page directly, please observe the following in addition to anything else in the above-mentioned guidelines:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive subject or headline for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

Regarding replies and notifications:

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or use the "[ subscribe ]" link by each thread heading,or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.
If I left you a message; please answer on the page where the message was left, using {{ping|Username}}, {{reply to|Username}} or {{u|Username}} in your response, or add {{talkback|Username}} or {{whisperback|Username}} to my talk page. If you leave me a message here, I will answer here on my talk page, notifying you in the same manner.

DYK for Burgle Bros

On 14 June 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Burgle Bros, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the box of Burgle Bros 2 transforms into a two-layer game board (pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Burgle Bros. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Burgle Bros), 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 suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Draft

Hi thanks for responding to my draft. Could I please have some clarification to why my sources are not sufficient? The previous person who reviewed my work said these sources were good but I needed to work on the tone. I have done so and I would appreciate if you could get back to me. Mrwikiguy1 (talk) 03:24, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrwikiguy1 sorry for the late reply. The main problem with your draft is a lack of significant coverage, i.e. sources about the school specifically. Also, just curious, where did the previous reviewer say the sources were good? Because their reply doesn't say that. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (💬 • ✍️) 12:27, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for New Star GP

On 16 June 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article New Star GP, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/New Star GP. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, New Star GP), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Question from Jhunior12 (21:57, 16 June 2025)

Hello Thanks for been my mentor, i would love to write an article about a musical artiste. Your help and guidance will be very much appreciated. --Jhunior12 (talk) 21:57, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jhunior12 I'm assuming you're referring to Draft:Scrip T? If so, you need to include more reliable sources in order to establish notability. See Help:Your first article for more information. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (💬 • ✍️) 03:07, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The DCWC is back!

Hey CanonNi, the Developing Countries WikiContest will be returning for a second year, and sign-ups are now open! The contest will run from 1 July to 30 September, and the objective remains the same: improve as many articles relating to developing countries as you can to help fight systemic bias on Wikipedia.

In other news, we have a new face on the coordinator team this year: last year's sixth-place finisher, Arconning (talk · contribs)! The coordinators would like to extend a sincere thanks to Ixtal (talk · contribs), who is leaving the team, without whom the contest would not exist. After feedback from contestants last year, the scoring rules are undergoing some modifications; the new rules and a summary of the changes made will be posted to the contest talk page shortly.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page or contact one of the coordinators: Arconning (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).

Question about draft

Hi thanks for responding to my draft. Could you please give some clarification to why my sources are not reliable? Which sources specifically should be changed? All of them are taken from websites about regional history or news sources. SlavaFire (talk) 10:47, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SlavaFire hi. The main problem is not the reliability of sources, but rather a lack thereof in parts of the draft. For example, the "Kharkov Merchant Branch" section consists of 8 paragraphs, only half of which cite a source, while "Legacy" has no sources at all. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (💬 • ✍️) 11:45, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Fixed the entire article. Can you take a look again? Thank you. SlavaFire (talk) 19:28, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have resubmitted the draft for review, and a different reviewer will give feedback soon. [[User:CanonNi]] (💬 • ✍️) 14:39, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft - Chris Boshuizen

Hi, it seems you are getting a lot of messages but thank you for reviewing my draft. I wanted to clarify the what you said around referencing. How is it unreliable to use those sources just to confirm basic facts like the company’s existence, the release date of an album, or what the company does? These seem like straightforward details that are okay to verify with primary sources and are unsusceptible to any bias. For instance when I reference the 'our team' page for Planet Labs to show that he is listed as a co-founder how is that not reliable if anything that would be the most reliable source as it is primary.

Thanks, again Apple24628 (talk) 24:22, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Apple24628 yes, those sources may be usable for confirming basic facts, but that's all they're useful for. Your draft lacks enough independent sources to establish notability. [[User:CanonNi]] (💬 • ✍️) 13:22, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am working on Draft:Neel but ...

I am working on Draft:Neel, and I noticed that many location articles have an infobox at the top. I added coordinates by copying the code from Google, but I realized this is not the right place for it. I see that some location articles have coordinates within the infobox. Could you please help me create a proper infobox for this article? Arbaz Thakur (talk) 21:01, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Arbaz Thakur I added a simple {{infobox settlement}} based on information in the draft. [[User:CanonNi]] (💬 • ✍️) 09:59, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of F1 24

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article F1 24 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 ChristieBot, on behalf of Jaguar -- Jaguar (talk) 10:46, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of F1 24

The article F1 24 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article needs changes or clarifications to meet the good article criteria. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:F1 24 and Talk:F1 24/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

AfD process

I have participated in the AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Occupied Palestinian territories and added my comment. I also looked at how other users added their comments and learned from them. This is my first comment in such process. After reviewing the article, I added my comment as Keep. Could you please check if I did it correctly? Arbaz Thakur (talk) 08:26, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Arbaz Thakur yes, that is generally how you participate in AfDs - a simple keep or delete with a policy-based rationale. However, (and this isn't your fault, I know you just weren't aware) per WP:ARBPIA, a series of restrictions authorized by the Arbitration Committee, only extended-confirmed editors may participate in the discussion. I've therefore struck your vote and will leave you a message with more info on your talk page. [[User:CanonNi]] (💬 • ✍️) 12:58, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

June Backlog Drive is almost over!

Hi! Thanks for participating in the Articles for Creation June Backlog Drive! We've done amazing work so far, dropping the backlog by more than 2000 drafts already. We have around 200 drafts outstanding, and we need your help to get that down to zero in 5 days. We can do this, but we need all hands on deck to make this happen. A list of the pending drafts can be found at WP:AFCSORT, where you can select submissions in your area of interest. Thank you so much for your work so far, and happy reviewing! – DreamRimmer ■ 01:29, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Goldflyboy writing about yourself is a bad idea, and your draft is written in a promotional tone. I've tagged it for deletion accordingly. Please see Help:Your first article to understand what a proper article needs. [[User:CanonNi]] (💬 • ✍️) 01:09, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
