Tyler1 GA review

Hi there, thanks for your ongoing review of my GA nomination. Thank you for bringing the Dexterto reliability concerns to my attention, I was not aware of this.

There are 9 Dexerto articles cited as far as I can tell, and if I had to guess I'd say that 20% of the article's prose rely on these citations. For this reason, I think it is fair to say that the article is "a long way" from meeting Criterion 2. As per the GA review instructions, you may quickfail an article without completing the review if It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria.

I am writing this message because you indicated that you are new to GA reviewing. If I were in your position, I would probably quickfail this article due to the Dexerto problems you brought up. If, for example, I have to remove 20% of the article's prose because there are no other reliable sources to support it, then that makes the review much more difficult. It is my hope that you continue to add valuable feedback so I can improve the article as best as I can in the future, but you are more than welcome to quickfail the article now. I really appreciate the feedback you've already given! Mokadoshi (talk) 18:11, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

@Mokadoshi: Hi, thanks for your message! I'll take your suggestion and quickfail the article then, sorry, since you can probably discern this better than me. I still completed the review (although I wasn't getting to the nitty-gritty details). Hopefully the suggestions help to improve the article further. Thanks — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 18:31, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Cfb51 (11:44, 7 April 2024)

Hi, I'm enabling VisualEditor through the Editing tab of Preferences. I'm stuck on this: Then, ensure the "Temporarily disable the visual editor while it is in beta" box is not checked, and simply save your settings." I can't find that box! --Cfb51 (talk) 11:44, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

@Cfb51: Hey, my guess is that the tutorial you were using was out of date, as the visual editor is no longer in Beta, as far as I can tell. Don't worry, you should be good to go! Thanks. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 16:46, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from Creator984640 (06:57, 19 April 2024)

Hallo mentor Can I able to create new pages in Wikipedia --Creator984640 (talk) 06:57, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! Since you are not autoconfirmed yet, you have to create a draft first, then it must be accepted by a reviewer. If you need any help with that, try reading this page, and read through Wikipedia's core principles, which can be accessed at WP:5P. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 21:29, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from 6218946rr (17:14, 21 April 2024)

How do I access editing on the article "List of NEON Films"? --6218946rr (talk) 17:14, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

@6218946rr: That page is protected so that only extended-confirmed users can edit it. This protection expires on 18 November 2024. You can either wait for the protection to expire, or wait until you have the extended-confirmed permission (500 edits, 30 days old). Additionally, you can make an edit request on the article's talk page and someone can make the changes for you. Thanks! — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 21:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi ! What are figures of speech? --RENAPAbi (talk) 18:20, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
