Hi! I just came across International Union of Socialist Youth/Leadership. It seems like per your edit summary Draft page you might have meant for this to be a draft. Would it be ok with you if I moved it into draftspace? Cheers! TartarTorte 17:07, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That seems fine. It’s not really meant to be a page, more of a sandbox for stuff to be moved into the main article, so I tried doing it as a subpage, but I have nothing against a draft. ~Politicdude (About me, talk, contribs) 17:08, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good! I moved it to Talk:International Union of Socialist Youth/Leadership. It seems that Wikipedia:Subpages under "Disallowed uses" it says that Writing drafts of major article revisions, e.g., [[Example Article/Temp]] in the main namespace, as you can get there accidentally using Special:Random—write these in the talk namespace, e.g. [[Talk:Example Article/Temp]]. See Wikipedia:Workpages for detail. So that's why I moved it there. Thanks for working on improving Wikipedia articles! Cheers! TartarTorte 17:42, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Politicdude,

Thank you for creating Randy Toler.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Hi Politicdude, I have some concerns about your new article on Randy Toler. On the face of it, he does not appear to have ever been elected to political office, so I am actually wondering about his notability. A good chunk of the article is taken up with elections to school boards, but frankly, even though sources may exist, this material isn't WP:DUE. Why is there so much on this, and nothing about his presidential run, apart from the fact he's a registered candidate? The personal life section could also do with expansion.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Bastun}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

I've made many changes and expanded your article, and moved it to the mainspace. I cut out the entire table about ballot access requirements for major party primaries as it is incomplete. In case you wanted to finish it, it's still in the page history. Longestview (talk) 11:06, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Robert McClenon were:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

There is not enough information in this draft to provide useful information for the reader. In particular, who are voting in Democrats Abroad, and how will the voting be conducted?

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:2024 Democrats Abroad presidential primary and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, could you make an update on this page List of most-streamed artists on Spotify which has been out of date for some time and no one has thought about updating it, thanks and regards 190.219.101.16 (talk) 03:37, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not an expert on Spotify stats, but the article seems to be up-to-date at the moment. If you have any specific edits, feel free to make them yourself or let me know. Thanks for your interest in improving Wikipedia! ~Politicdude (About me, talk, contribs) 03:49, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Politicdude,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Wikisteveb4, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, for deletion, because it is a very short article that doesn't provide readers with enough context to determine who or what the subject is.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Wikisteveb4}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

This was the source, I meant to add it to the Palmer article but I never got around to it [1] Esolo5002 (talk) 16:54, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
