Question from MelamineCat (20:54, 26 June 2026)
[edit]Hi! I corrected errors, updated figures and added citations to a page, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, but I'm blocked from publishing changes due to an archive.ph link that I've since deleted. (I'm assuming that's was it's referring to as a link to "archive.today or a related domain"--all the other archived links were from archive.org and existed previous to today's edits). It's still refusing to let me publish. I reported the error message as a "false positive," but I'm not sure what else to do. Any ideas? Thank you for your help! --MelamineCat (talk) 20:54, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
- @MelamineCat Hi, it's because archive.today, archive.ph, archive.is, etc, are blocked, while archive.org (Internet Archive's Wayback Machine) is allowed. You can read WP:ARCHIVETODAY to learn more why. Myrealnamm (💬Let's talk · 📜My work) 22:20, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

Question from Moselymedia (14:44, 27 June 2026)
[edit]I am Ja’maal Mosely. I have a conflict of interest regarding any article or draft about Ja’maal Mosely, Mosely Media LLC, REEL Heroes Fishing, and Between Rotations Literacy Initiative. I am using Articles for Creation and welcome review by independent editors. --Moselymedia (talk) 14:44, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
- @Moselymedia Hi there and welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for declaring your conflict of interest. It seems like you didn't start your draft article yet, here's the link to the wizard to do so: WP:WIZARD. However, fair warning, autobiographies are strongly discouraged as they can lead to neutrality issues. Let me know if you have any other questions.

- Just looking to have a wiki page for myself. I recently published a book, and folks are confusing me with a troubled basketball coach with the same name (different spelling). It was my hope that the page would help distinguish my work and likeness from his. Moselymedia (talk) 22:06, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

Articles for Creation backlog drive
[edit]
Hello Myrealnamm:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:37, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
