Murder A7s

Hi. I looked at your tagging of Murder of Jean-Pierre Renaud and Murder of Kevin Jiang, but I can't in good conscience delete either as A7, as there are citations to reliable sources (which also means G10 cannot apply). I've sent them to AfD instead. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:36, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Changes of Era designaters at Archaic period (North America)

I have reverted your changes of BC to BCE and AD to CE at Archaic period (North America) because that was counter to the Manual of Style guideline at MOS:ERA. The BC-AD style has been used in the article since it was created in 2004. I personally prefer the BCE-CE style, but since I use the MOS to justify reverting when users convert BCE-CE to BC-AD, I must also follow the guideline in this case. If you still want to change the Era style in this article, I suggest you start a discussion on the talk page and see if there is a consensus to do so. - Donald Albury 19:02, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

@Donald Albury: BCE was in the short, so I was seeking consistency. Lately I've been following The Great Courses history lectures – the professors always use BCE-CE, as does the Smithsonian Institution. People from the Archaic period didn't know they were living Before Christ or in the Year of our Lord, so I think they would support a consensus that the style should be changed. Now if only I could get them to signup as WikiPedians the discussion would be easy! – S. Rich (talk) 23:33, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

I really need help with editing

Hi I see that you have edited the List of fugitives from justice who are no longer sought. Do you think that you could help me add some entries to missing person's lists? I have my hands completely full with editing and could really use some help, and would be very thankful to get any help. Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:33, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you ...

Passover

There have been numerous edits by Jaredscribe recently and while I was tracking down a problem edit, I made two discoveries. One is that this editor made the problem edit. The other is that the editor has been blocked in the past, so it's possible someone needs to look at the person's edits to make sure they're all right. I wouldn't know myself, and my fixes to the problem edits I did see may be all right or they may not. I didn't see anyone who was watching the article so I'm just contacting some people who have made recent edits.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:45, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

@Vchimpanzee: My edit was simply to shorten the short because that's where mobile app users need a short short. I do not want to track the article. – S. Rich (talk) 03:41, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Article description needs to start with lowercase

Or am I wrong on this one ? SuyashJ89 (talk) 14:32, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

@SuyashJ89: – take a look at WP:SDFORMAT. And thank you for the question. – S. Rich (talk) 14:48, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I don't really think this is a suitable short description, it makes no real explaination to what the article is about. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:03, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

@Lee Vilenski: – Compare with 93rd Academy Awards. It does not restate what the reader sees in the article title, but it does expand a little bit about the event. Your preferred version repeats "2021" and "Snooker". It gives the months. but that info will be less helpful in June, July August, 2022 etc. But I do see the 2021 Short is much like the 2019 & 2020 versions. Thanks for asking. – S. Rich (talk) 15:19, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm not really sure why you would link me to that article specifically. I'm not sure what we get out of knowing how many has gone before. A short description is to explain in links basically what the article is about. This article is a snooker event held in April and May 2021. The Academy Awards should really have an short description that states it's a "film award event, held April 2021". That explains what the article is, and gives a vague idea of when. Biographies should say what the person does, etc. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:41, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

I believe that her charity efforts are more lead-worthy than "best-dressed". Instead of removing, could you perhaps word it better? Or remove the superficial other item also? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:03, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

I have a source but I am still family

I added a comment to midcentury modern since my parents and the company they started, Andersen Design is part of that history, But I need a reliable source for which I could cite the Collectors eye by Christine Chrchul who writes Th following:

"If you’d like to know the next big thing in collecting twentieth century design, you might want to ask Sara Blumberg and James Oliveira….....

Italian glass is one of the fields that now consumes them, particularly the stunning shapes that have been produced for hundreds of years on the fabled isle of Murano in the Venetian Lagoon. They’ve also been buying American studio pottery from the 1950’s and the 1960’s ,especially the simple bowls and vases made by Weston and Brenda Andersen in East Bootbay, Maine. Not to mention twentieth century Scandinavian pottery.

What do these disparate fields have in common? Looking at the pottery shapes on display, you can see that the crosscurrents of design have flowed from Europe to America and back. But Sara has a more elemental reason: “It all comes down to form”. In relating why they love one group of Andersen pieces, she calls them “organic” and the same would be said about their favorite objects-not to mention the way they have decorated their home.”

........ "Responsible for changes good and bad in architecture and design, the industrial Revolution changed the manufacturing process of pottery for good. New factories spat out thousands of pieces of pottery per day – their goal to stock kitchens and dining rooms of middle-class Europe and America quickly and inexpensively.

The Scandinavians were the first to rebel. The y began to address the need for “good design for every day use” around 1916. For Swedish artist and alchemist Wilhem Kage, that meant inventing hundreds of new glazes.

The Americans were quick to follow suit, benefiting from the influx of European designers during the 1930’s and 1940’s. The Scheiers were a husband-wife team famous for creating slightly iff-center pieces. Also thumbing their noses at machine-made perfection were Weston and Brenda Andersen of East Boothbay Maine ( many of their pieces are seen in this spread)"

UNQUOTE

The only online reference I know of for the Collectors Eye are retail venues.

However that prohibits me from including my own greater understanding based on my own direct experience with the source- specifically since Christin Churchill does not say that it was production used as an art form, I cannot say so, but that is important since part of the reason we no longer exist is that we do not fit properly into any category that allows us to raise capital- specifically when we applied to Fractured Atlas as a social enterprise, which we have always been, teaching the skills, art and science of making ceramics on the job, we were rejected specifically because I used the word "production" which the board of Fractured Atlas deemed to mean that anyone using the word "production" is only in it for the money. That is why it is important to make the point that before Andy Warhol used production as an art form, Andersen Design did so, founded on the philosophy of creating a hand-crafted product affordable to the middle classes in the era when America had a middle class.

Since I am family, I can not contribute and Andersen Design is delegated to the dustbin of history as far as Wikipedia is concerned.

If I were writing teh page on Andersen design I would write what I know to be true and others do not necessarily understand. Dad was a threat fab of Lewis Mumford, who connected teh Arts and Crafts movement to a reaction to the Industrial Revolution, as does Christine Churchill, Andersen Design is as much a continuation of teh 19th century Arts and Crafts Movement as they were originals of teh 1960's design movement, Dad studied slipcasting under Eva Zeisel, t Pratt Institute. His college education was interrupted by World War II and when he return dad was somewhat taken aback to see that Eva was using his designs as teaching examples. Russel Wright invited Dad to apprentice twice but he didn't think he could afford to do so with a family. Then he took a job as Dean of teh Alron Art Institute which is probably wherein developed his first prototypes and then quit to move to Maine to start a slip-casting production as an art form. Who else knows this history?

So I will use your explanation in my Substack blog, Butterflies and Rocketships. Maybe I can inspire someone else to include us in Wikipedia that way/
