Draft:Vacuum Belt Dryer

Hi Theroadislong

This draft is not an advertisement. This technology is used since 1950s and is supported by published literature. It is not a new product. When editing this draft, I followed the outline of the “Freeze drying”“Spray drying” article, both cover the same category of well established equipment. It is merely a straightforward description of the equipment. Sinsars (talk) 00:20, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Draft :Doug Sangalang

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your effort notwithstanding my prior awareness to these rules which I carefully maintain adherence thereof. Since there are no of press releases and interviews in the article,this there are no cited press releases as you mistated in the article whatsoever that claim was irrelevant and as for interviews, primary sources used are done so per strict adherence to wikikpedia rules regarding use of primary sources which are as follows; 1. The BLP Primary Source Exception (WP:BLP)The Biographies of Living Persons policy explicitly allows using statements spoken by an article's subject (such as in published interviews or podcasts) to verify basic biographical details about themselves.The Condition: There must be no reasonable doubt about the authenticity of the interview.The Restriction: The interview cannot be used for exceptional or controversial claims, or to make claims about third parties.2. The Primary Source Rule (WP:PRIMARY)Under the No Original Research policy, primary sources are not banned. The rule states that a primary source may be used only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person without specialized knowledge.The Condition: Editors are permitted to use a published interview to source straightforward facts—such as a subject stating what year they graduated or the inspiration behind a book title. D3K32S (talk) 14:52, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

You have cited interviews eleven times, it would be helful to remove these, as well as the press releases. A large number of your sources do not even mention Sangalang at all and others are mere listings or passing mentions. we need significant in-depth coverage.Theroadislong (talk) 15:04, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm having trouble understanding what you mean by press releases. Please be more specific as to what you mean forgive me for it sis my understanding that press releases are an official written statement that an organization sends to journalists and news outlets to share important and newsworthy news, and as such the article contains NO PRESS RELEASES. Perhaps I am misunderstanding something in which case I am happy to accomodate nevertheless I don't believe I have included anything that meets that description and widely accepted definition of press release. As for interviews are allowed as a primary source for basic information per wikipedia rules, whether I have cited eleven interviews or eleven times seems to makes no difference when in references are in support of eleven simple statements that any reasonable person can deem to be true as such

. D3K32S (talk) 15:25, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Reference number 23 is actually labeled press release, it is not an indpendent source. Theroadislong (talk) 15:40, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Claudiu Popa

Thank you for the review. Understood. I will leave the draft unsubmitted until multiple qualifying independent secondary sources providing significant coverage are available. User3329348 (talk) 15:05, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

RE:Doug Sangalang

Your assertions that most citations referenced make no mention of Sangalang at all and if so brief and in passing are simply false and untrue. Did you make judgement without actually taking the to time to check them? It seems that after reviewing obvious when reviewing your time stampsof activity that e you would not have had time to actually done so in all of the 3 minutes margin and thats not even taking into account your other traces with other uses in the same timeframe. The subjewct matter might not be of your personal preference or liking but notability and citations references meet all of the guidelines set by wikipedia. D3K32S (talk) 15:52, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Please check your references again there certainly are a large number that do not mention Sangalang at all, please see WP:REFBOMBING you are cluttering up the draft with many unneeded citations. We need just three high quality sources that discuss Sangalang in significant detail. Theroadislong (talk) 16:05, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

It would seem logical and reasonable to use that in thisd one circumstance for the purpose of verificatiuon of a fact the press release was issued by Green Day and not the subject of the articlemerely to corroborate the fact that the subject perrformed dates on the the pop disaster tour with Green Day and Blink 182. The press release was not released by the subject of the article it merely serves to provide legitimacy toth

e statements it supports as reasonable fact. Nevertheless iy has been removed. D3K32S (talk) 16:13, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Why do you lie, to feel powerful? D3K32S (talk) 20:14, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

RE:Doug Sangalang

I will do that, you must be refering to citiations regarding the work of Sangalang in bandswhere it mentions his band nby name their are layers that are nuanced because we are talking about a prominent musician D3K32S (talk) 16:35, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Acanthosaura syrax moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Acanthosaura syrax. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it consists of machine-generated text and 100% machine generated. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Sulfurboy (talk) 22:37, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

ALERT Geomaterials

Thank you for the effort. I did my best to improve the submission. Can you tell me if now it is ok? If not can you address more specifically the problematic sentences?

Please note that I worked on that a lot and AI did not support me in terms of contents and writing. Thanok you very much again Claudiavitone (talk) 13:21, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

Just Done says 71% AI content. Please re-write from scratch. Theroadislong (talk) 14:04, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

Ok! I did it!

Let me know please. Claudiavitone (talk) 09:26, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

Ai

It is ironic that the same editors and administrators suggest that I misunderstand them because English is not my first language, yet they object when I use AI to make my English clearer, more professional, and easier for them to understand. ~2026-46217-98 (talk) 09:50, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

Please log in before commenting, I have no idea who you are, or what you are referring to, please don't use AI on Wikipedia it it is not helpful. Theroadislong (talk) 10:00, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

COI on Asian Minifootball Confederation?

Hey there, you added a {{COI}} tag to Asian Minifootball Confederation in Diff/1373007463, but I don't know if it was in response to the AI-generated edit that I have now reverted, or if it was over something else in the article that predated it. Should the tag be restored, or was it just the AI-generated edit that caused the potential COI concerns for you? ‑‑gurkubondinn 14:55, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Yes it was in response to the AI generated content. I'll keep an eye on it. Theroadislong (talk) 14:59, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Great, thanks. This was undeniably AI-generated, so I saw no reason to do anything other than just revert it on sight: AbuseLog/45032769. Thought that was probably it, so I didn't restore the tag, but didn't want to leave it untagged if it was actually something else. ‑‑gurkubondinn 15:08, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

It is hard to tell with this system did you receive my request for a re-review of the article?

Thanks.

~2026-47848-24 (talk) 17:10, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Your draft Draft:The VHS Collective was rejected, there is no need for another review, it is totally inappropriate for an encyclopaedia.. Theroadislong (talk) 17:22, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Did you know...

The International Journal of James Bond Studies existed? See Draft:James Bond 007 60th Anniversary Limited Edition. S0091 (talk) 19:43, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

I'm not sure what I am supposed to do with this information? Theroadislong (talk) 20:28, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

I thought you might find it amusing or interesting, that's all.. S0091 (talk) 20:30, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

Notability assessment request

Hi Theroadislong. Since you're quite an expereinced AfC reviewer, I was wondering whether you might take a peek (if you've got some spare time) at User talk:Baronmilone#Draft:George F. Hodges and User talk:Baronmilone#Draft:Federation of European Shogi Associations and assess them in terms of Wikipedia notability. Perhaps a different set of eyes will see things that I'm not. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:21, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

Sorry Marchjuly I've been on holiday off grid for a week, so have quite a bit of catching up to do, will put them on my watch list. Theroadislong (talk) 14:50, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that. -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:43, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Ankith Reddy

Hi @Theroadislong I have Added more reliable sources as per your feedback and also removed sections. I have submitted it for AFC but please have a look and let me know if this is good enough. Dineshzaladekar (talk) 19:57, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Draft:International School of London

Hi @Theroadislong Thank you for reviewing the above submission. Before the last decline in July, I had edited it to pare back any descriptive language and keep the article as neutral and factual as possible. I wanted to contact you before amending and submitting it again, to make sure that I'm on the right path to meet Wikipedia's requirements. Do you have any specific suggestions for the article? For example, I am locating some additional external resources/reference articles and would it help if I included some historical facts about the school based on one of these articles? As an international school that was established over 50 years ago, and as one of the early adopters of the IB curriculum in the UK, I believe that it is a suitable subject for Wikipedia but I want to ensure that the next submission is correct for publication.
