4th Galician Uhlans

I disagree with your reasons for declining the article. Currently, it already has three academic sources: Thomas Mocharitsh's diploma thesis on Ruthenian military terminology, Evan Samborowski's paper on Galician military units, and Alexei Lithavorik's Russian language research on Austro-Hungarian units on the Eastern Front. I can't find many in-depth sources online, even in German, but my plan was to add more to the article when they became available

Draft:Y. Nagaraju

I have a scanned/digitised copy of the first source which is a printed book from 1989. But I guess copyright is still Karnataka Lalithakala Academy. Would it be okay if I upload it to archive.org and link it? I uploaded it to archive.org https://archive.org/details/y.-nagaraju-a-biography-1989 The official english translation starts from page 34 of the scanned book.

Draft:Upzoning in Auckland

Hi Absurdum4242, thanks for your prior review on Draft:Upzoning in Auckland. I think I've addressed all your feedback, if you are able to re-review. Thanks! Sydney-2k (talk) 11:40, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

@Sydney-2k Hi there, I haven’t had a detailed look at the article, because it has some sort of weird formatting issue around the citations. Please have a look at how other articles handle this, there shouldn’t be any sort of line / para / abstract / web type subscript in the body of the article - I’m not sure if you were doing it that way because you’ve been taught that for university somehow, but it adds to two problems for editors looking to approve the draft - 1/ it raises the suspicion of this being some sort of AI artefacts, and 2/ it makes it seem even more like an argumentative essay rather than an encyclopaedia entry… go back and clear all that stuff up, then have a think about neutrality of POV / trying to state simple facts rather than making an argument, and how you could edit the article again to combat those issues. Once all that is done, let me know again and I will have another look. Absurdum4242 (talk) 13:05, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Robbie Overson – sources question

Hi Absurdum4242,

Thanks for reviewing Draft:Robbie Overson and for the clear feedback. As declared on my user page and the draft's talk page, I'm Robbie's son.

I've since tightened the draft, removing self-published and weaker sources. A search of the Irish Newspaper Archives returns over 160 mentions of him in national newspapers between 1986 and 2026, plus more in local papers – most are brief, so I'd value some direction before going through them. Two quick questions:

1. Does a dedicated CD review in The Irish Times (national newspaper) count towards notability? The strongest source so far is Siobhán Long's review of his solo album Overdue (10 September 2004). Would two or three reviews like that plus a feature article be enough?

2. If the sources fall short, would you recommend adding a section on him to Scullion (group) and redirecting his name there instead?

Thanks for your time.
