User talk:Pratyeka
Not interested in Wikipedia anymore. It seems to be populated by deletionists, paid shills and policy thumpers. Common decency has evaporated. Wikipedia has lost its way. I have resigned. prat (talk) 04:23, 19 October 2022 (UTC) Hi Pratyeka. Thank you for creating Baomo Yuan and Baomo Yuan. For Nanyue Yuan, I supported retention at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nanyue Yuan and provided a list of newspaper articles establishing that the garden meets Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. Wikipedia needs more articles on Chinese topics, an area that is systematically underrepresented. I hope that this experience hasn't soured your experience to contributing articles like these. We need many, many more articles like Baomo Yuan and Baomo Yuan. Nowadays, Wikipedia:New pages patrol will tag articles for deletion or draftify articles if the article doesn't have two reliable sources proving the subject is notable. This can be frustrating. I try to include at least two reliable sources when creating an article so that the article does not get nominated for deletion or draftified. Thank you again for your contributions, and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help with sourcing. Cunard (talk) 05:02, 19 October 2022 (UTC) For what it's worthI appreciate your work, including your readiness to add references to articles after their notability was challenged for lack of them. Cunard has wise words just above about having references in place when first saving an article. One of the strengths of the project is our diversity, in both backgrounds and perspectives; unfortunately that means that any article has to not only be clear to readers but to demonstrate its right to exist to editors who may have no frame of reference in the area of its topic. Your parting statement above mentions "paid shills", so you apparently share the widespread revulsion on Wikipedia for corporate promotion; unfortunately this has been a major impetus for suspicion about new articles, not only new articles about businesses and their products. It's hardened many editors' hearts, emboldened some to adopt a policing role, and I think it means we're going backwards on global perspective and on reducing the impact of entrenched biases in our coverage. In addition to the great weight of rules, guidelines, and bureaucratic processes that now encumbers the project, well meant though most of it is. I also note with approval that you have criticized the WMF's priorities. However, I suspect beyond those general issues, we may have very different areas of concern and preferences. (For example, while I lean inclusionist and regard the existence of an article on another language Wikipedia as suggesting notability, English Wikipedia isn't the only one with vanity articles or even articles based on misunderstandings.) I regret it all the more if we have indeed lost you, your perspective, your knowledge, your energy. However, having left once myself, and being very much aware of the volunteer nature of the project, I won't beg you to change your mind. If you don't return, I hope you can find somewhere else to contribute; the goal of making knowledge of everything available to everyone is still a noble and worthwhile one.

Macroseta moved to draftspaceAn article you recently created, Macroseta, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia).

Bitcoin articleHi Prat, Not sure if you check this page, but if you do I'd be more than happy to chat about your contribution to the bitcoin article on Wikipedia. It's fascinating for me how fast after the initial release of the network you created the stub.
