DYK for Edwards Davis

On 15 June 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Edwards Davis, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that before a career in stage and film, Edwards Davis (pictured) was an ordained minister known for dancing in his pulpit? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Edwards Davis. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Edwards Davis), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Nicholas Wade

When Nightheron says "his part was extensively discussed at the talk-page, and it was pointed out that this book is what greatly contributed to Wade's notability" what that really means is a handful of editors refused to compromise or listen to any other editors concerns. I pointed out exactly what you did, that this level of detail is inappropriate for a biography to no avail. If you want to try and take it up again, ill support your edits, but be prepared for some difficulty. Thanks. Bonewah (talk) 14:14, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Sorry about that accidental deletion on the Christiane Northrop talk page

I don't know how I managed to do that. I also don't know why your correspondent insists on ignoring the rationale you have offered and instead imputing to you motives that you have not expressed. Good luck. -- Jibal (talk) 17:06, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

@Jibal: Thanks, no problem. I think I correctly restored the discussion, feel free to check and make sure I didn't accidently clip anything of yours when I restored. --Animalparty! (talk) 17:12, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Sorry

I didn’t spot that we were on the Michael Brake page. The risks of mobile editing, I suppose. Wouldn’t have happened on a computer. Schwede66 17:34, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

@Schwede66: Thanks. No worries. Enjoy your day. --Animalparty! (talk) 17:37, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Professional editor?

While I don't disagree with the substance this edit, your edit summary suggests you are a professional editor. Does WP:PAID apply or was this a poor choice of words? Toddst1 (talk) 06:18, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

@Toddst1: No, I have never been paid for a single edit. I am not a professional writer, but I stand by my words. I have however taken high school and college courses in composition, and know what is bad writing and what is good writing. I have also read many encyclopedias in my time, and know how encyclopedic writing should look. Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 06:26, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. Got it. Have a good weekend. Toddst1 (talk) 06:30, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Journal article protection

Hi Animalparty! I noticed your comment regarding the protection of several journal articles on JzG's talk page. Currently he isn't editing - I'll give it a week to see if he returns, as I think he should have first call, but if he isn't back I'll remove the protection. - Bilby (talk) 00:35, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

@Bilby: Thanks for the notice. Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 21:07, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Respectful Insolence

In regard to your edits on Michael Klaper, Respectful Insolence is used on other BLPs as a source. I am leaning towards removing it on BLPs but it is seen as a reliable source by many. I think we should remove it on the BLPs but leave it on other articles like germ theory denialism. What do you think about that? Psychologist Guy (talk) 10:25, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

@Psychologist Guy: I agree it should be removed from other BLPs, and assessed case-by-case basis in other articles, mindful of WP:PROPORTION, WP:WEIGHT, etc. For instance, even if Gorksi and Novella have written a lot (freely available online) on the topic of germ theory denialism, name dropping them in prose seems unwarranted, and citing them instead of more scholarly sources would be sub-optimal. --Animalparty!

Jacquelyn Reingold

What do you mean by "to avoid ghettoization in gender-exclusive categories"? SL93 (talk) 20:09, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

@SL93: See WP:GHETTO (part of Wikipedia:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality), as well WP:DUPCAT and the templates at the top of Category:American women screenwriters, etc. People can be placed into gender-specific categories, but should generally not be exclusively in them. --Animalparty! (talk) 20:18, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

I will keep that in mind. Diffusing, non-diffusing, subcategories, etc...I never did like adding categories to articles even though I understand the need. SL93 (talk) 20:26, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Discriminating verbal attacks are NOT opinions.

Just letting you know, after you said "everyone is entitled to their own opinions." Lostfan333 (talk) 17:50, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Animalparty, thank you for you all your great invertebrate, arthropod, and millipede contributions! Aggyrolemnoixytes (talk) 15:38, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
