Christian Jung[edit]
You rated my article on Christian Jung as of a low standard and a stub. I have to admit that you are perfectly right, and I was conscious that plenty of improvement was needed at the time I created it. So why did I create it? Another editor had included Christian Jung in the List of geneticists, a list that I have been going through systematically in search of errors, missing infoboxes, inappropriate entries, etc. Unfortunately the link given led to the wrong Christian Jung (the politician) and there was no article about the right one. On checking the record of the right one I saw that he is indeed a distinguished scientist (with h = 55) and I thought that an article was definitely needed. So what to do? If no one had bothered to create one before now then I should do it myself, and that is what I did. I was hoping that editors with more knowledge of plant breeding than I have would see it and be encouraged to expand it. So, if I recognize that an article ought to exist how do I set about finding an editor able and willing to do it? Athel cb (talk) 08:43, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Athel cb Hello there. Thank you for reaching out and for your contributions to Wikipedia. Creating a stub can indeed be a catalyst for further development, especially for a topic that clearly meets the notability criteria, as evidenced by Christian Jung's h-index of 55 and his Leibniz Prize. It's a constructive way to invite collaboration from other editors who might have the expertise to expand the article with more detailed information and references.
- To find an editor with the specific knowledge to enhance the article, you might consider reaching out to other editors through relevant WikiProjects, such as WikiProject Biology or the Science and academia workgroup of WikiProject Biography. These groups often have members with a keen interest and expertise in the subject matter. Additionally, you can tag the article with the
{{Germany-scientist-stub}}which can also attract the attention of editors working on Category:German scientist stubs, by the way, I have tagged the article. You can also write a message to those WikiProjects and let them know of the subject you think passes notability criteria and anyone interested will end up creating an article on the subject. Don't forget that every Wikipedia article starts somewhere, and your efforts have laid the groundwork for what could become a comprehensive and informative resource. - Regards, Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:05, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Too long[edit]
Good day @Vanderwaalforces, its over three months now I guess lol my draft Draft:Ebony Goddess Mystique has been on the review list after making all corrections. Any idea on how the review can be checked so I could be happy to my contribution on the Wikipedia world. Meligirl5 (talk) 20:25, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Meligirl5 Hi there, thank you for your contributions. The backlog is a bit overwhelming currently and a reviewer will definitely get to it soon. Please stay patient as almost everyone here is a volunteer. Regards, Vanderwaalforces (talk) 21:32, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
