Hi! Sorry for the delayed response to your message on the Days of the Year talk page. I'm interested in taking part in the interview if you're needing more people. Suonii180 (talk) 17:00, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Suonii180, thanks for volunteering to participate. The questions are here: User:Tom (LT)/sandbox/WikiProject days of the year interview draft. I look forward to reading your responses! Tom (LT) (talk) 08:07, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've responded to the questions, thanks for organising the interview. Suonii180 (talk) 13:04, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tom! Could you give me some comments on how to improve the draft I'm currently editing (Praxis EMR)? I added multiple references that, to my understanding, meet every criteria that Wikipedia establishes for notability, but my submissions keep getting rejected with the same template message. Why is it that, for example, none of the books by Mark Braunstein qualify as reliable independent sources with significant coverage? Thanks in advance!

PD: In case you haven't noticed I'm a new editor, so feedback of any kind (specially regarding Wikipedia use in general) is much appreciated.

Despite the denial on your talk page, I still suspect that you are a paid editor. I can't help you beyond the many links already contained in the advice on the draft page. Try looking at similar articles that have been accepted. You need to provide secondary publications unrelated to the topic that demonstrate it is notable. That is more than the bar for just describing it. Thank you. Tom (LT) (talk) 08:15, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Tom (LT): I'm a Spanish speaking college student, and I'm not by any means a professional writer; no company would hire me to write a Wikipedia article. If I was a paid editor, I would disclose so. I thought this would be a fun project to take on, to practice English writing and simply for the fact that I find Praxis interesting. I had no idea the bureaucracy that exists behind any Wikipedia submission, and now it has become a sort of personal challenge. Some editors at the Teahouse already helped me get on the right track, and many references were removed for not meeting the necessary criteria. I still believe the subject is notable enough to deserve its own Wikipedia article, and that there are sufficient reliable and independent sources to demonstrate it.

Just wondering whether the August Project Report should be credited to you or @EpicPupper:?

Thanks! Smallbones_(smalltalk) 19:52, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Smallbones me. I think EpicPupper intended to write a report but unfortunately didn't get any responses. Tom (LT) (talk) 00:39, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How about if I credit both of you as authors? Smallbones_(smalltalk) 00:42, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Smallbones The current interview is with WP DOTY. EpicPupper hasn’t contributed at all to this interview - I am the sole interviewer - have a look at the contribs log. They intended to interview Spoken WP but the draft was empty so I have overridden it (I also notified them at the time). Hope that clarifies things. Tom (LT) (talk) 10:37, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, now I've got it. It was my misunderstanding. You are the sole author. Thanks for stepping up!

Sincerely,

Smallbones_(smalltalk)
